I just came up with a solution for Toews' scoring drought after watching an interview - peel off that awful beard that somebody bought for him at the local five and dime store. It must be sliding down his face when he is on the ice and he's probably distracted with the worry of it falling off completely.

Five and dime, big smile on my face brother! Thanks!

Or he can simply back up his words.If he can't play his game due to the way the game is being called he needs to do the same.Even the playing field.I expect Toews to push back tonight.

I want my octopus sliced paper thin with lime juice, red onion, thinly sliced jalapeno, cilantro and sea salt. octopus ceviche!

Best advice I ever heard for dealing with awful referees... "Make the game ugly"

Don't go Bertuzzi on anyone's ass but at that point they should be grabbing, clutching hacking slashing and spearing while face washing at every single whistle making the game so unwatchable that the referees have to start blowing the whistle or 12 guys are going to be in the box at all times.

Absolutely correct. Last I checked there is no award for most gentlemanly player in the NHL playoffs. A well timed crack across the wrist or ankle of one of his tormentors might give him some breathing space to operate.

If Henrik Z started harassing a Bryan Trottier his testicles would have been Swedish meatballs on Bryan's post game dinner plate an hour after it started. And Lord only knows what a guy like Mark Messier would have done to Z or Kronwall or Franzen just for the hell of doing it.

i am on the verge of going mental , if and when a player shoots the puck over the glass and Pierre goes on and on for the entire ensuing power play on how thats a bad rule. I hope someone has told him to stfu about it ....

Hmmm, I thought id see fewer Hawks jerseys in the stands since this is a playoff game...

They always seem to call the game for the team that is carrying the play. Right now that's Detroit.

Hammer with room to rush, gets over the blue line and doesn't shoot...he's gotta unleash the boomer there.
