I'm glad the Wings are getting their sucktacular play out of the way before the long playoff run. If they don't choke away the playoff spot first.

Marleau can't even tank properly. Gutless.

I was shocked, SHOCKED that neither the Sabres or the Coyotes did not pull their goalies in last night's overtime. Did they forget the rule that if the OT GWG is scored into an empty net, the losing team gets 0 points?

Shame. Shame.

Shame. Shame.

I thought the rule went both ways, thus if a team pulls their goalie for an extra attacker and scores they would get two points and the opponent none, and if scored upon, they get none and their opponent two.

I'm pretty sure only the team with the extra attacker forfeits the loser point.

84.2 Overtime – Regular-season – Extra Attacker - A team shall be allowed to pull its goalkeeper in favor of an additional skater in the overtime period. However, should that team lose the game during the time in which the goalkeeper has been removed, it would forfeit the automatic point gained in the tie at the end of regulation play, except if the goalkeeper has been removed at the call of a delayed penalty against the other team. Should the goalkeeper proceed to his bench for an extra attacker due to a delayed penalty call against the opposing team, and should the non-offending team shoot the puck directly into their own goal, the game shall be over and the team that was to be penalized declared the winner.

Probably to increase the chance of a shootout in the event of overtime...

Drew Miller took a skate to the face last night.

He took a skate to the god**** EYE. It's a miracle he got away with 60 stitches.

Just grabbed playoff tickets to the Lightning home games 2 and 3. They are restricting sales to Florida residents, and also banning opposing logos in a couple club areas. Now, I hope (lol?) that the Wings match up with them. Otherwise, I might fly up to Montreal. Although I'm at work until April 16th, the day after they are slated to start.

Yes, I'm a sucker for punishment.

Heard an interesting proposal for the race to the #1 draft pick.

As soon as your team is eliminated from the post season, you then start accumulating "Points After Elimination". The team with the most PAE at the end of the regular season gets the #1 draft pick. You can't tank - you have to win your way to the #1 pick.
