Congrats to Martin Brodeur for becoming the all time winning goalie in the NHL. Coming back from his first serious injury it looks like he didn’t lose much. Here are the top ten goalies.
1. Martin Brodeur -552 2. Patrick Roy-551 3. Ed Belfour-484 4. Curtis Joseph-452 5. Terry Sawchuk-447 6. Jacques Plante-437 7. Anthony Esposito-423 8. Glenn Hall-407 9. Grant [...]

Crock of crap
Ah, good old Gary Bettman is at it again. Because of minor injuries, Lidstorm and Datsyuk decided not to attend the All Star game. King Bettman then makes a new rule that suspends them from playing in the first game after the break. Doh! Instead of trying to fix the ballot stuffing system that didn’t [...]
Rumors
A story from CBC’s Elliotte Freidman has said Zetterberg turned down a 10-year, $75 million contract offer: “No,” Zetterberg said. “I haven’t turned down anything.” So does that mean he’s thinking about it or the story is false? Stay tuned for further updates.
In other news, the New Jersey Devils have made room for the return of unrestricted [...]
Ah, eat before the game?
Maybe he should have ate something before the game. The National Hockey League has suspended Ottawa Senators forward Jarkko Ruutu two games following a biting incident Tuesday night in Buffalo. The video evidence appears to conclusively show Ruutu bit the gloved thumb of Sabres tough guy Andrew Peters. Ruutu denied it. I saw the replay, [...]
Chicago blues
The team from the Windy city is blowing a little less after the Wings swept the two game series. The outdoor game had the best regular season tv ratings in thirteen years. It looks like an outdoor game every year will be a tradition.
Boston had their ten game win streak stopped by Buffalo in only their [...]
Home and home
The Red Wings and Blackhawks start a home and home series Tuesday in Detroit and then the outdoor game Thursday in Chicago. Should be good games as Chicago just set a franchise-record ninth straight victory. Lids and Osgood are still doubtful for the next several days. What’s the weather for 1pm Thur.? Hey, how about our other famous team [...]
I’m back
Let’s see if we can get this thing rolling again. Real life shouldn’t interfer with online life or I’ll never get to that 70th level ‘wing shark slayer’. A couple of days to the big outdoor game in Chi-town. I’ll stay home and watch in 70 degrees comfort, with this crazy weather; Chicago [...]
Ketchup
I don’t know if I can catch up on all the news I missed recently but here goes. The big story is Brodeur’s injury. Needing surgery on his bicep tendon and missing approx. 4 months. What happens to Jersey? Who knows who the back up is? I had to look it up, Kevin Weekes. Yeah, okay; [...]
W-1 L-1
First win in the books. Wings beat Ottawa 3-2. They played much better than the first game loss to Toronto. 19 turnovers in that game with the first goal resulting from a dumb backhand clear by Osgood to the open side of the net with a Maple Leaf there. Much better game tonite with Franzen [...]
Predictions
Well, I’ll go out on a limb and give my predictions for who might win their divisions. I’ll start in the Central because it’s the easiest. Detroit with Chicago following. Northwest-I like Edmonton but Vancouver lurks and I always watch Colorado because of past clashes. Pacific-Wow, talk about a tough division. San Jose is the [...]
