Glad Babs said Toews and Nash were two outstanding players.

Nice to have NHL hockey back!

well, hello there, Red Wings, nice to see the real team showed up tonight.

Now, just Zetters need to score for my swedish hockey crush hat trick to be complete.

Gotta Admit...

…it is nice to hear Joe B’s voice, even if it’s not a Caps game. :)

Let's go Caps!

Mr. Bird was all excited. “Red Wings! With Joe B!”

The Wings don’t excite me particularly, altough it was a pretty entertaining game. Still the games between the Avs and Wings from the late 1990s were more… spirited…. ;-)

Let's go Caps!

I miss those line brawls. Shanny coming clear across the ice to flying tackle Roy is epic.

Loved that nobody at VS said that Crosby was an Olympic all-star snub.

Very entertaining game so far. Sounds like there are a ton of Wings fans in Denver tonight.

there’s a ton of Wings fans everywhere. they’re like Pens fans, none of them actually live in the city they cheer for.

There are a lot of Wings fans all over. Alas Detroit is a city that is shrinking in population, due to jobs being moved, etc. In 100 years, Detroit might not even be a major city anymore. There are plenty of towns that have gone through this process… it [Crosby]s but it happens…

Sniffle. Detroit really is a fascinating city. Loads of neat places to visit, if you know where to go.

by bigonetimer on Mar 2, 2010 8:04 PM EST up reply actions  

Tough call which probably means yes. I don’t think he’s clearly or egregiously overpaid and he should get better. If Vanek is worth 7.5 then Kane is a steal at 6.3

OT Hockey 2/8
Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
