My thoughts... hmmmmmm

My pictures...

My comments... Nashville, just sit back and put yourselves on cruise control, no need to extend any effort, once Forsberg's skates touch the ice you will skate magically into the playoffs.

NOT! That's why they play the games! Go Minnesota. Beat the Preds.

TSN's Ice Chips:

Updates for Saturday, February 17, 2007

Across Canada:

The Latest from Montreal
The Canadiens practiced at the Verdun Arena on Friday, mostly doing skate and shooting drills. No lines were revealed for their match-up against the Hurricanes on Saturday night. Alex Kovalev arrived with just five minutes to go in practice, fully attired, but did not do any shooting. He stretched and skated laps on his own. Coach Guy Carbonneau has not decided on his starting goaltender yet. It could be 21-year-old Jaroslav Halak who's been putting up impressive numbers in the AHL. Tests are being done to determine if there is a tear involved in Cristobal Huet's hamstring injury. Craig Rivet underwent X-rays to his chest to see if there is any residue of pneumonia. Carbonneau said his lungs are looking good, though Rivet still easily suffers from fatigue. - TSN


The Latest on the Flames Practice Lines
Dion Phaneuf and Jarome Iginla did not take part in practice on Friday, as both players chose to have an off ice work out. - TSN

Forwards
Tanguay - Conroy - Ritchie
Huselius - Langkow - Moss

Around The League:

The Latest from Buffalo
Maxim Afinogenov will not likely play again until the playoffs after yesterday's surgery to repair the broken scaphoid bone in his wrist. Drew Stafford has been called up to take his place. - Buffalo News


The Latest from Colorado
Peter Budaj will start in goal tonight in Calgary. - Rocky Mountain News


The Latest from Columbus
Winger Gilbert Brule is being rewarded by coach Ken Hitchcock with more ice time of late. Brule currently plays on a line with Sergei Fedorov and Fredrik Modin. - Columbus Dispatch


The Latest from Detroit
It has been confirmed that Dominik Hasek will be back in the Detroit goal crease tonight. He has been sidelined for the last four games with a wrist injury. - Detroit News


The Latest from Florida
Injured Winger Todd Bertuzzi is expected to participate in the morning skate today. His return to the NHL remains undetermined and questionable before the February 27th trade deadline. - TSN


The Latest from Nashville
Centre Peter Forsberg will make his Predators' debut tonight against the Wild. - Nashville Tennessean


The Latest from San Jose
Winger Steve Bernier is currently playing in the AHL on a conditioning stint. Should he feel no discomfort from his healing broken toe he should return to the Sharks' shortly. - Contra Costa Times

[Dark Knight]

Have been mostly listening to the Philadelphia at NYR game on CI but I saw Lundqvist take a puck to the left shoulder and writhe in pain; Malik and Jagr got wall pasted and are in pain and Shanahan and Knuble ran into each other accidentally and Shanny was taken off the ice on a stretcher. He was responsive and had movement on all extremities but

[GLOVESAVE35]

Well, I sure hope the Ducks/Kings game isn't as violent...at least on the Ducks side.

[Dark Knight]

The two pinheads that do the Nashville tv broadcast have pretty much crowned Forsberg as the new god of hockey They're the two most annoying broadcasters in the NHL right now...

[Dark Knight]

Boston up on Buffalo 3-1 in Buffalo, late in the second...

[Duckette]

Am I the only one who gets pissed off when other rinks use our Goal Song randomly? Stupid Panthers...

[Dark Knight]

Vish just gave Minnesota a penalty shot which Bouchard converted

With 4 mins left in the game Minnesota 3 1

Hopefully the Ducks can take advantage of this and draw even closer to the top of the West

FINAL Minnesota wins 4-1

"Obviously, there is a lot of hype with Forsberg being here," Minnesota forward Brian Rolston said. "It was a huge win for our team. That win should give us a lot of confidence as a team, especially playing against a good, good hockey team like they have over there."
