"He's not blazing fast, but he's not Tomas Holmstrom, either."

So then he's not fast ;) I'm not saying the guy is a slug on skates but he's certainly someone our D should be able to keep pace with.

I appreciate the comment and hope you keep stopping by. I don't hate all Wings fans, only the crazy ones ;)

I'm a Wings fan, but I'm not looking for a fight (and sorry to read that you have had some less- than-pleasant run-ins with some less-than-intelligent members of our fanbase). Just wanted to say that I enjoyed reading your recap with just a minor point of contention:

"Now Franzen is certainly not fast so Sauer should have been able to keep up with him."

I think you are underestimating Franzen's foot speed a bit. He's not blazing fast, but he's not Tomas Holmstrom, either.

Anyway, I know you said you are sick of hearing about the guy, so I'll stop now. Keep up the good work on the blog, it's an enjoyable read, even for a Wings homer like me.

That picture makes them look like robots. Only one of them needs a software upgrade.

Pierre has to make those comments, because this is a national audience, and he has to pander to the east coast. If it was McNab, he would have called it the most professional weak point shot ever, the kind of weak point shot a veteran team like this can bring to the ice.

"I got to see team Canada in an exhibition game at the Colisée Pepsi"

That's definitely an acceptable reason to miss the game :)

I'd love to see those pics once you get them up.

Hi Shane !
just saw the highlights of the game and I can honestly say that Theo is back to normal. Yes he had a great series against Minny but there he is again, the Theo that made me scream at my tv for the past 2 years. I say play Budaj the next game or else it will be over in 4.

The reason I didn't watch the game is I got to see team Canada in an exhibition game at the Colisée Pepsi in Quebec against Finland, got some picture, I will try to put them online and will send you a link if you're interested. Go Avs !
