Those great young Chicago players made a true number one goalie look like a sieve in the shootout! You have a lot of great hockey to look forward to with that crew if they stay together.

Some unreal goaltending on both ends, Joe...and then neither goalie can stop a beachball in the shoot-out!

Kane, Toews, Keith, Versteeg, Seabrook, Ladd, Havlat, Bolland, Barker...the young talent on the Hawks is awesome...they better win the Cup by 2010 though, no way they will be able to afford all those guys in '10-'11 when Toews, Kane and Keith get new contracts!

Great game....I hope the 'canes make the playoffs, the line of Staal, Cole and Rutuu looks like a force to be reckoned with, and Ward sure is a stellar goalie.

You're absolutely right, Tom... definitely a young team to be reckoned with. And as I keep telling you, it's something that's not lost or taken lightly by Wings fans.
As far as the contract year goes... with TWO Bowmans in the front office, I'm sure you'll guy's will be better than okay!!! (gotta love Scotty!!)
Big game for the Wings tonight with Calgary in town. Can somebody say "Playoff Atmosphere"??!!!!

I am gonna TiVo the Wings/Flames game, John, should be a doozy...I will be rooting for Pavel, Henrik, Nik and the boys.

Scotty Bowman is the Man....hope he can keep helping the Hawks close the gap on the Wings....been a long time since we could hang with the best in the West.

Agreed... But what a game (i think?)!! You know, a lot of people in the D have been kind of dismissing (or dissing) Calgary, and focusing more on San Jose. Even though I wasn't part of that crew, and nervously applauded the Flame's moves on deadline day... I'm still scrathing my head a bit after what I saw tonight. As I've said before, the dude is stone!! And you know what?... this is a match-up that I want to see during the playoffs!!!
