LOL!!

Coyotes Roenick chase has been confirmed.

An amazing season has come to an end far too soon.  Hats off to the Wings for proving everyone wrong and still being a powerhouse in the "new" NHL, but once again they let a lesser talented team outwork them ala Calgary and Anaheim.  I'm really, really sad right now cause I thought the Wings were Stanley Cup bound.  Bottom line is they got outworked by a team that just wanted it more, and with the leadership and veteran presence on the Wings, that's just unacceptable.  Changes need to be made and the first one will be in net, mark my words.  Hats off to the Oilers for bringing their A game and then some.

I stand by my call that the 3rd goal was BS and Smyth dove to draw the penalty (which the Oil's homer announcers called a "good veteran move"   ), but no excuses.  It should have never got to that point.  The Wings had a 2-0 lead in the third, the Oil had no life and the building was silent.  Williams took an awful (and that's being nice) penalty and that PP goal gave the Oilers life and momentum.  The Oilers got a gift down 3-2 but again, the Wings should never have let it get to that point.  Time to go drown my sorrows and look forward to October.

With their first pick the Broncos select... Jay Cutler... I have to say I'm a wee bit confused about that one... oh well Javon Walker should be better than a draft pick, assuming he is healthy.

That's Jake's successor.  I think it's a solid pick.

I'm glad the Colts grabbed a RB but we'll see if Addai is capable of being the guy.  I was hoping D'Angelo Williams would fall in their laps but knowing Carolina needed a RB, I wasn't counting on it.

I'm also happy about Leinart going to Arizona.  I think he's gonna thrive there and I'm gonna grab a Leinart jersey soon.

I hear you Jamie.  I don't want my team's season to be over yet either.  I got the rare opportunity to see them play 3 times this year in 3 different cities (LA, Nashville and Detroit) and would have seen them against the Ducks on March 1st but I had just been transferred and that store had inventory that night.  Otherwise, it would have been 4 games in 4 cities against 4 different opponents and they won all 4.  Instead it was 3, 3 and 3.  Pretty awesome.  The Wings have had an amazing season and proved all the critics wrong who said the "new" NHL would be the end of the Wings.  I'm just frustrated with how the Wings have not made adjustments (not crashing the net for one), not played well in front of their own net and have gotten average goaltending.  Monday will show what they are made of...or else it's over.

The Texans will regret passing on Bush.  Happy to see Leinart go to the Cardinals since the Titans were blinded by Young's Rose Bowl performance.  Young is the next Vick: all hype and not an NFL QB.

HUGE win for the Wings tonite.  I knew that they would step up and show what they were made of and they got it done.  On an officiating note, some very bad calls against both teams but I was amazed at how undisciplined a game Edmonton played, especially with an opportunity to go up 3-1.  Now they've let the Wings back in the series.  Big mistake.
