I am at work for another hour, just check the score and this thread..are the wings and hawks at least playing good hockey tonight? I should be able to catch most of the 3rd. After a brief feeling-out period it has been quite good... Got my game worn Steve Duchesne '02 sweater out for luck. Not sure if i should put it on or not. My record wearing jerseys or Wings paraphernalia is very spotty this postseason. 
I am not superstitious at all unless it's hockey. |

How in the WORLD was that hit on Nyquist just before the goal not boarding???
Oh well. Wings went further than I expected and for a change i have nothing bad to say about the coaching or goaltending. Howie was stellar in all 14 games. Hawks had better bring it, because the Kings are a better team than the Wings are. I did not - in all honesty - expect them to get this far. The Wings did not impress me at all this season, they were a patchwork quilt all season. They'd go beat the Ducks twice in a row in Anaheim, then get beat by a sucky team. Zero consistency. As the playoffs loomed i wasn't even sure they would make it in. Then thy had a good run against the Ducks, and got up 3-1 on Chicago, but their youth (when's the last time you heard anyone accuse the Wings of excessive youth? 1963? ) showed. They were playing way above their experience level if you ask me, and that's a big compliment to the coaching. In the end, the wheels fell off the winged wheel.
Looking forward to next season already. 
BTW Holland has some holes to fill with talent this Summer. At least to shore up depth. The can't expect to make a run at the Cup again with such a young team. The one spot they have very well filled is goaltending. I am very tough on goaltenders and this time, I can't praise Howard in particular highly enough. Had the Wings potted the OT goal tonight Howie would have stolen the series. |

That was one of the worst calls I've ever seen. Backside ref never even had his arm up, both teams touched before the shot.
But, doesn't matter Hawks win!
My bar hasn't been that loud since they won the cup. |

No way they stay making sub 1m. 875k is what Stalberg made.

I made it home from work last night with about 9 min left in the third.
I said "What a terrible call." Everyone, but most Wings fans (as I am, truth be told) agreed it was a terrible call. If the Wings won in OT, it would have been a damn disgrace. The Wings lost that game in the 3rd. Chicago moves on, and Hockey doesn't end because the Wings are out of it. Dumbest thing I ever heard. Great hockey lays ahead, that is for sure. If you are a fan of the game, you appreciate the game and appreciate the teams that are left. If you are a fan of a team and don't care about the game, then yes, hockey should be over for you. There is so much crying on facebook today from Wings fans but not from hockey fans. The better team won last night, twice actually 
I turned 40 today. I am playing in 1 hour, I hope I lace them up for another 20 years at least. My son plays and this is the greatest game on earth for a father and his son(s). |

Chris, wouldn't you expect Wings fans to be bummed...? Even though the best team won, there's still that morning after feeling.
As the legitimate hockey fan I am, of course hockey goes on. There is a large faction of Wings fans who call themselves "hockey fans" but in reality are only bandwagoneers who jump on when the team does well, and break their ankles jumping off the bandwagon when the team is out. Strange. I listen to 97.1 all the time and sometimes it's like pulling teeth getting these "fans" to call in... And so many that call in are just slappies. |

And I've been going to Hawks games since 1988 or so, including when they played the Red Wings, and I never recall seeing more Red Wings sweaters than Blackhawks'. That's ridiculous. Personally, I can't think of a better way for the Hawks/Wings rivalry to end - overtime in Game 7 (even if there never should've been overtime). |

Despite my brackets being blown to hell here's what I think for thr Conf Finals:
LA/Chicago - LA in 6. My heart says Chicago; my head says LA since they're pretty much the same team from last year and aren't as banged up as Chicago. Bos/Pit - Pit in 7. Bos is very good but I don't know if they can overcome the four undercover Penguins on the ice, the ones with the stripes on their shirts. |

I'm going to have to say LA in 6.
Crawford is good but quick is on another level. The kings have depth and grit. PIT in 6 as well. Rask won't keep up with the scoring and Boston is going to have to give PIT a few PPs to stay in the series |

The RedWings can only win if the other team lets them skate away with it. If they put up a fight the Wings fold, it's been that way since their late '90s dynasty.

And then gets an amazing all-star supporting cast. And we're supposed to believe this is coincidence and managerial talent? Now, the team does have to earn the Cup... But the League can ensure certain series go longer, ensuring that other teams have an easier time opposing them. This isn't just Pittsburgh FYI. They're just the latest "it" team... Look at some of the recent teams in the last 20 yrs who have had financial or attendance troubles... LA (won Cup), Buff (went to Finals, lost), Edmonton (went to Finals), Carolina, Tampax Bay (both won Cups after money or attendance trouble)... This is just off the top of my head, I could try to find more if I get a chance. I half expect Phoenix to meet up with Florida in the next few seasons. |

Looks like the NHL is eating most of the costs for the Yotes sale.
More or less selling the team for 48M, and the NHL is going to eat the operation costs. If I would have hit that 600m lottery, I know what I would have bought. (They say they will have to stay for 5 years in the arena, but in 5 years, you could resale the team if you wanted to Quebec City for 270m+)
