Well, I can't hate Turco at the moment since he's helped me out to a nice lead in the fantasy hockey finals this week with that shutout.

The Red Wings:
13 goals against in the last two games. Not good. The goaltending scares me. Legace is a great back-up, not a great starter. CuJo has never really played well for the Wings with any sort of consistency. Injuries and Hasek are to blame for some of that this year, but aren't nearly enough. The Wings will enter the play-offs as they did last year, with a big question mark in goal. Regardless of this years acquisitions to both offense (Lang/Whitney) and defense (Hatcher), as is almost always the case, the Wings will go only so far as their goalie will take them. Then again, the Wings have gone into the play-offs red hot before and crumbled (e.g., last year) and have stumbled in and have done fine (e.g., 1998). The time grows near... |

And with that chop to Ryan Smyth's face, Turco is looking at a suspension. Nice move, dickweed.

Klayman, don't look now, but they blew the win. Overtime, but Stars get at least 1 point! And all that with 7 (seven) starters out!
Arnott, Barnes, Zubov, Klemm, Lehtinen, Numminen, Young. |

Well, figured tonight would be the night the Oiler's would lose, and hoped it would be as there's no way they were going to run the table the rest of the way and it'd be better than losing to L.A. or St. Louis. Hard way to lose the second point, but another game with another point and L.A. losing still puts us that much closer to the playoffs.

Eh, I'll take the point. 14 games undefeated in regulation time is pretty good for a club who just over a month ago looked finished. If we continue to get points we'll be ok, and instead of needing 2 out of 3 teams to mess up down the stretch, we now only need 1 of 3 to make the playoffs. It will certainly be exciting stuff. Stars got lucky, but we've been lucky too this last month, and sometimes the puck bounces the wrong way for you. The outcome sucks, but I certainly can't complain about the way the team played last night. |

"We're all tired of this scenario," Oilers head coach Craig MacTavish told the CP. "It's played itself out seemingly endlessly whenever we've played these guys."
"I don't know what it is," Oilers forward Ryan Smyth told the CP. "They've got our number and it's disappointing, especially blowing the couple of leads we had." |

It's Marian Hossa. As well, was he not called for a penalty on the play with Berard (which is what I assume you are referring to)? He was called for a double-minor, which is exactly what he deserved. Last edited by Tekneek : 03-27-2004 at 12:38 PM. |

Four minutes for a wildly careless golf swing that takes two years off a guy's career? Not in the post-Bertuzzi era, that's for sure. If that exact play happened today, Hossa would get at least six games. Eight if it was Chris Neil instead. In other news, Owen Nolan blows out his knee tonight and, pending the MRI, is likely out for quite a while.

no it isn't. couldn't Legace have just given us one of the games? I think Vancouver is going to return the favor from last year - coming back late in the season to knock the other team out of first.

At last night's game, the place erupted when Chris Simon absolutely beat the crap out of Jeff Cowan.
The woman in front of me obviously wasn't impressed and went home right afterwards with her young daughter. And what's with the girl-girl kissing? When did this become mainstream? The smooch cam was on fire last night. Maybe something to do with the heroin beer... |

Big win for the Oiler's tonight, still some stupid mistakes, but somehow overcoming them. And Doan now joins my list of players who scare the crap out of me every time they touch the puck while playing against us, damn he's good and only getting better I would assume.
Now if Nashville and St. Louis would just lose once or twice, things would be a lot nicer. |

For Edmonton:
Edmonton has to win Tuesday. Given how well they've been playing over the last 20 games or so, they have a decent shot. Win or lose, they have to hope the Wings can beat the Blues (where's the love now, kalyman??). Chicago is a horrible team playing poorly. You have to hope they wont lose four in a row (lost the last two to St. Louis) and can beat Nashville at least once. Colorado hasn't been playing great either. The last two games Dallas and Vancouver wont be easy, but at least Dallas will be sans Turco and Vancouver may not have much to play for. Should be an interesting last week! |

I'm hearing this morning that NJ is going to add a piece to it's puzzle(I'm not sure if he's playoff eligible or not though), Zach Parise is going to go pro. Devil fans you are going to like this kid.

kalyman's a red wing hater too? There's so many of us it's hard to keep track of us all. I can live with the Blues winning the rest of their games, and even if Nashville win 2 out of 3 of the rest (obviously losing against the blues), then the Oilers only have to win one game against Dallas or Vancouver, Dallas without "The Bastard" in net, and Vancouver playing poorly of late. (Oilers through on goal difference) I think those are good odds. I see no benefit from playing the Sharks over Detroit by finishing in 7th, provided the Sharks don't over take the Wings. In fact, with the goaltending situation as shaky as it is in Detroit, they would probably be the lesser of two evils going into the playoffs. So I'm not too concerned. Things can still go wrong, of course, but I'm certainly feeling a lot better about the playoffs then I was a month ago. Ideally, Calgary and Edmonton will upset everybody and meet in the Conference finals. Then all of us will see what real hockey is all about |

Disclaimer: The above post was an attempt at humor, but I forgot the smiley at the end. While Calgary is a goon squad, the irony of a fan of a team who's goalie was suspended for whacking a guy in the face with his stick seemed funny. But without the smiley, it just seem crass.
