That was a huge gamble tinkering with the chemistry on that team... for a player they may not be able to resign. How much offense does that team need?
Should be interesting to see what happens.
you may want to check the standings as the habs are in 1st in the eastIWill they make it to the finals? I don't know, but they have a better chance than anyone with the exception of the Senators.
Wings finally won another game, and looked pretty good in doing so! It is really apparent just how much Kronwall means to the Wings this season based on the 2 games he has been back. He makes some great reads in the offensive zone. While the young D-men have been holding their own, aside from Meech they just aren't good puck handlers in the offensive zone yet. That was the main reason for the offensive drought for most of February IMO. Hopefully they can actually string two wins together!

so i say habs have far better shot then the penguins for east
but youll see that when you wake up from your dream
penguins are new sens in playoffs all hype no byte
well see this proven again later this year
I know that, and the penguins are in second, but the penguins are doing this without Crosby, Roberts and Fleury(Just came back the other day) which is pretty damn good. When all three Crosby, Hossa and Roberts come back, that alone will make them a better team than what they are now.
Granted anyone can win in the playoffs, I remember when the penguins beat the North Stars for the cup., and the Blackhawks.
But IMHO nobody has a better two scoring lines than the Pens when Crosby and Hossa comes back.

May be true, but defense wins the Stanley Cup, IMO.
I know, and with 10 of their last 15 at home, they're poised to hold onto their #1 seed going into the playoffs. Things are looking much better now.Red Wings showing signs of shaking their recent slump. Won their 2nd in a row last night.
GO WINGS!!!
Yeah, Rafalski had a great game. He scored a goal with a nice slapshot while in traffic that totally surprised Legace. He also got in a fight and body slammed one of the goons on St. Louis when they started taking cheap shots at the Wings when the game was out of hand. Dats had 2 goals including an empty-netter following a beautiful steal. Franzen also got a goal with some great toughness in front of the net.Didn't Rafalski return yesterday? (I didn't see the game). Lindstrom also due back very soon. When he returns all will be well in Hockeytown. They will hold onto the #1 seed.
Which trade at the deadline was best? Richards had 5 points his first game with Dallas and quieted down right quick.
The Sharks had the best trade. Steve Bernier had 2 goals his first hame in Buffalo and not done much since. The Sharks, on the other hand, have won a franchise record 10 games in a row! Brian Campbell is a stud.
11 in a row.
Congrats to the Wings on hitting 100 points in a division with no other playoff teams.
