2nd Round Playoff Pick-em: Does Joe know more than you? Yes!
Well I think it’s about time you all ate some humble pie. Hey Jim, Ryan and Rob make sure you guys take large slices. Your comments of "just so Joe doesn’t get too excited about winning" and "yeah we have to keep Joe humble" are now nothing more than fuel for the flames of my giant ego....
2009 NHL Playoffs second round wrapup
This has turned out to be one hell of an exciting year for playoff hockey. In the second round we had three series go seven games and the other six, showing just how much of an even ground teams find themselves on once the postseason starts. From last night: G7: Anaheim 3; Detroit 4 (Red Wings...
Ducks' season over, a bit later than expected
Perhaps the last cartoon for a couple of weeks -- Sleek's on vacation. And so it ends, the seventh game that wasn't supposed to happen, in the second round that wasn't supposed to happen, after the first round that wasn't supposed to happen. Here's my comment from last night post-game, I really...
Wings Down Ducks 4-3, Advance to Western Conference Finals
In a series that has been back and forth the entire way, any other ending than the one that took place in Joe Louis Arena on Thursday night wouldn't have been fitting. Game 7 between the Detroit Red Wings and the Anaheim Ducks lived up to all of the hype, with the end coming on a gritty goal from...

Analyzing the series
Well, another game, another close loss. Here are some of the things I've thought about since the loss and during the game. Gotta feel for Chris Osgood in this series. He's been great but still has to be in a Game 7 on Thursday. He's been incredible in net and has dispelled any naysayers. In this...
Red Wings vs. Ducks: G7 pre-game open post
This time I opted for Detroit's alternate Octopus logo. We shall see what the aftermath of the postgame scrum in G6 is (other than another round of hyperbole by Wings fans -- forget what they said earlier in the series or a few years ago, this for sure is the biggest outrage of their lives), but...
Wings Fail to Eliminate Ducks
Heading into Game 6, the Red Wings had been on an offensive role. Scoring 10 goals in the last two games, Detroit squeaked out one goal on 39 shots in the losing effort. The Anaheim win tied the series at three games a piece and forced a decisive Game 7 Thursday in Detroit. Both teams looked...
Rafalski may play in Game 6
Key word there being may. Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports that defenseman Brian Rafalski is a game-time decision for Game 6. He skated about 25 minutes with the Black Aces on Sunday before the game and then skated even longer than that on Monday. However, Sunday was the first time he practiced in...
