Not too much to choose from. NYI, Detroit (just give them the number one spot, the rest of us will play for 2-8 and still beat them in the playoffs) Chicago.

is anyone watching the buffalo islanders game on sopcast?
mine is playing up...

LA gave up a goal to Detroit 59 seconds into the game.

I ALMOST feel sorry for the Kings. It seems like they'll never have a season where they aren't the worst in the conference. We aren't that much better, but man it's been a while.

[GLOVESAVE35]

I ALMOST feel sorry for the Kings.

There are times when I almost do too. But I don't. Because then I remember their fans (the employees too!) and how they are basically allowed to act any way they want at the Staples Center and their arrogance towards the Ducks and their fanbase.

2-2 now Between LA and Detroit. Hasek let in a gimme.

3-2 Detroit now.

I just noticed the crosses on the back of LaBarbie's helmet. Is that the graveyard for LA's goalies ?

[Duck304]

The Wings just scored one of the strangest goals I've seen in a long time.

[Dark Knight]

Ducks would do well to watch Detroit's PP. Great puck movement, someone in front of the net the whole time, shots from the point and the slot. Lethal.

Crawford must be wondering "Would Anaheim hire me as a ... anything... please let me out of here!!!"

I actually spent alot of time watching it tonight because you can see they get all kinds of movement back and forth and I noticed they form a triangle with two guys at the edges of the trapezoid and a guy in front of the net. They just keep rotating that triangle and eventually they get the goalie to commit and find an open net or a rebound and what do you know there is someone in front to shoot it in.

For those of you who did get a chance to watch the Kings/Wings game, did you guys see where Dustin Brown was in the front of the net, and Chelios crosschecked him in front of the official three or four times without getting it called on him? I don't know if they didn't get called because it was a) Chelios b) a Red Wing at home in Detroit or c)anyone other than an Anaheim Duck

Plus Hasek threw his stick at the puck and nothing was called

[Duckbill]

Exactly. Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed watching the Kings get crushed, but this type of game does little to get rid of the excess negative garbage surrounding officiating since the end of the lockout.
