Detroit Red Wings & the NHL

[Optimus Prime]

Sid The ComeBack Kid is in fine form, picking three assists including the game winner, earning First Star of the game as the Pens dump NJ 5-2. The League surely missed its only true Superstar!

What a run, the Pens are two points out of first place in the EAST. If Philly get solid goalkeeping as they have they will be tough, Rangers are sinking under age and injury and will likely crumble.

Staal, Crosby & Malkin up the middle and healthy, another Stanley Cup berth is on the horizion.

How's your Canadiens doing?

[Optimus Prime]

Relax, there is little to no chance that "Team Ikea" will get a crack at Pittsburgh & the Kid during the playoffs! "One-Nut-Nick" should be healthy enough to rejoin the team when they likely get bounced in the first round, what is he approaching 50? Should have traded him a few years ago when he was actually worth something, sad.

hurtful

[Optimus Prime]

No painful & No kidding, didn't he take a stick or a slapshot to the nutsack?

[WingsFan]

Yes he did 2 years ago.

[Optimus Prime]

Has exploded testicle surgically removed then plays, remarkable.

[Mike]

It was in the 2009 conference final vs. Chicago. Got speared in the nuts, had reconstructive nutsack surgery, was back two games later.

Yet Cindy has missed a year because of a neck injury suffered during some other testicle dalliance......:-)

[Mike]

Ha!

[Optimus Prime]

Two words , Mooblur Fockur.

[lineygoblue]

Aren't hockey players supposed to wear protective cups?

[Optimus Prime]

Well that is the conundrum, when it takes enormous balls even to step on the ice and play the game, especially in the NHL, protective equipment unfortunately lags.

[Tom W]

Except in Cindy's case, where you've got a Commissioner that keeps those balls safe and warm.

heh @ Tom
