As I said, hope often . . . .

Does anyone have a link to the standings right now? Truth is I'm just yankin' chains. I haven't been able to follow hockey this season--as in I saw one goal and that was that.

Sports Illustrated:
Standings.
Playoff schedule (Looks like the first two games didn't go so well for Montreal.)
There are also pictures of skinny (not all parts) women in small bathing suits there. I was pretty sure you wouldn't want to look at that sort of thing, though.

For the record, I haven't ever really recognized the existence of hockey until this thread. I think I might have issues stemming from trying to have some fun skating with friends while some numb-nuts guys (who we went there with) were whacking a puck around at the public rink, and I suspect they were aiming at us.

Hey Beer - you're right, they are your Wings too, and we're happy about that. Hey, here's a "heads up" for all the Catters here.
I may be behind everyone in "tech knowledge," but I went ballistic yesterday when I saw that Versus was not televising game two of the
Wings/Blue Jackets series; I checked my entire cable line-up and found - NO RED WINGS. Out of frustration I called a Detroit radio station and was told where I could listen to the game on-line and then the guy told me that I could "watch" the game on-line as it was streamed in. Bingo - it worked. No, it's not like watching it on TV, but you get the audio broadcast clear as a bell with the streaming video, plus replays, interviews and post-game shows.

I'm not certain because I was only looking for the RED WINGS, but I would believe that every hockey game is available to be viewed. At any rate, the web-site is: justintv.com, and it's a God-send when the bozo's don't carry your team. How can you not show every game that the defending champions are playing? Sure, I'm biased, but
come on now. Try out the site and let us know what you think, and...GO RED WINGS - KEEP THE CUP!          mwh - Hockeytown South

Thanks for the tip Michael, I will try and see if it works better than what I use from the Red Wing Home Page. Which is: TV: FS-D (HD), Radio: 97.1 FM
However, when I'm listening to the game I loose connection to often and have to start again. Pain in the butt. It is better than no wings though as I don't have all those sports stations that most sport fans have.

Beer - I have a cousin who lives down here and he gets "FSN Detroit"
as one of the channels on his "Direct TV," satellite package; but, he says that he gets everything but the games. I'm wondering if that is universal or what. Given that the strike of a few years ago drove away a lot of potential fans (as well as ESPN broadcasting) wouldn't you think that Bozo Bettman would be giving games away as opposed locking them up on the NFL network. Go figure.

Yes, I too listen on 97.1 when all else fails, but it tears me apart to know they're playing and I can neither see, nor hear the action.

I may have mentioned this if a by gone post. When I was living in Nova Scotia I use to pick up WJR Detroit and listen to their games on a.m radio. About 10 years ago I was traveling in Newfoundland and was listening to a Detroit hockey game on WJR. Wish the hell they had of kept it going. The think about Hockey (maybe all sports)is that you can be doing other things while listening to and picturing in your mind the game.
Love it.

Beer, I think you're right. I think the Wings came out tonight and there just wasn't any pressure on them, but they came through in the end. A fluke penalty? Maybe, but the Versus commentators all agreed that it had to be called. Besides, the Stanley Cup playoffs are often about fluke goals and other flukey stuff; in the end though, the guys still had to score the last goal - and they did.
Right now the Ducks are giving the Sharks hell. See you all in the second round - GO RED WINGS, KEEP THE CUP! Cheers,.........mwh

Pitt, advanced as they should have. But been a Philly fan since 1973!

Cal vs Chi, "Don't make me angry! You won't like me when I'm angry!" Could be decider!

Wash vs NY, The Avery-Tortorella factor! If %$#&^%# Avery plays, they win!

NJ vs Car, he ain't heavy, he's my Brodeur!

SanJ vs Ana, scares me!

Capitals and Hurricanes win

As the top seed, Boston gets to face the lowest seed remaining--Carolina. That sets up a second-round showdown between Washington and Pittsburgh.

No. 2 Washington vs. No. 4 Pittsburgh

Vancouver vs Chicago WAS wild, last night. Vancouver was running off with a shutout till the Hawks made a 2nd-intermission adjustment and roared back to a 3-3 tie. One little booboo though and Vancouver scored on them right at the end,m plus an empty-netter. Bet they'd been scared shitless by the near miss!

Of all the sweaters worn in the NHL, my fav is the Hawks. I'm guessing that Stan Makita had something to do with that! Just goes to show you, speak softly and carry a big stick! He went from 146 mins in penelties in one year to 12. Mr Bong to Lady Bing!

If one was to look it up, you'd see that most of his minutes spent in the "sin bin" were for retaliatory type penalties. In his early years, he was no Jean Beliveau. Although, once he established what was acceptable to him, he quit carving you up! Remembering that acceptable to him was "Don't touch me, and I won't carve you up!"

I missed this thread. I had the Bruins picked back around mid-November.
The Wings are an obvious choice for the final, and I'd rather they'd
win, but I think the Bruins might be drinking from Lord Stanley's Cup
this time. (I still get a little sour when I remember the last time
the Bruins played my Maple "Laughs". )

Well, the NHL is still a useless enforcer. No suspension for Brown?
Nonsense, simply nonsense. That was a cheap-shot, gutless hit he put on Hudler and the league needs to stop this shit from happening again and again,...and why in the hell is Bertuzzi still playing?
He should have been permanently suspended years ago.

Now I'm going to be a real ass____ and say that someone needs to deck Brown in tomorrows game. What the hell, if the league won't stop it then the players need to take it to the next level to where the suits cannot ignore it any longer. Of course, you could fire Bettman, too, and bring in a real hockey guy to run the league; maybe a guy with a name like Yzerman, or Gretzky, you know, someone who might have PLAYED the game!

I must stop my bitching about Crosby, Crosby, Crosby and Ovechkin.
It seems that the Versus folks ran a poll asking about the second round match-up that will be most appealing - Pens/Caps won out over the Wings/Ducks 41% to 27%, so give the people what they want and I'll find my guys on-line somewhere - or the radio.

The Wings have got their hands full with the Ducks and I don't much care for Rafalski being out - a major player for the Wings. Nick is picking up any slack that appears and continuing to prove his greatness time after time. God, I love this game, and the Red Wings.
