Damn. Quick was amazing tonight with a 38 save shutout.

Perhaps NHL realignment should involve putting the Blackhawks, Canucks, Red Wings, and Sharks in the newly-christened Entertaining-As-Hell Division.

What a great game but too bad the Sharks couldn't take advantage of a third period they dominated.

What the F was with that interference call at the end of the Wild game? Holy hell was that terrible, glad it didn't end up costing us.

Finally got a W and the winless streak ends at 8. Time to start a different streak boys

That was Derek Shepherd-level bad!

It looks like Kane is moving back to center. He played well there so I approve of this change. Carcillo will also return tonight against Detroit. Pirri was sent down in favor of Jimmy Hayes who'll make his NHL debut tonight.

The lines will look like this:
Carcillo-Toews-Hossa
Sharp-Kane-Stalberg
Bickell-Bolland-Frolik
Brunette-Mayers-Hayes

I would hate that other than Chicago, that is what the realignment fixed. As a Wings fan I hate when they play over in Western Canada with the 10:30 starts, it isn't as bad the other way around other than the games are midday when they Canadian teams play over here.

But can't wait for the Wings to finally play the 'Hawks tonight.

So uh, the Leafs PK is historically bad. No playoff team in history has had a PK this bad since the '85 LA Kings who had a PK % of 71.5

@ESPNChiHawks Jesse Rogers
Babcock on Lidstrom:"Im a big believer that's why Bettman changed the schedule next yr.so Nik doesnt have to travel as much,can play longer"

@ESPNChiHawks Jesse Rogers
Babcock: "“I think the Hawks have the most explosive forward group in the league. They have the most upside in talent.”

@ESPNChiHawks Jesse Rogers
Zetterberg: “We haven’t seen them this year. We’re fired up. Its always fun to play in this arena.”

Duchene is out at least a month.

Really need David Jones to come back from his injury and actually be productive and not stuck on the 4th line.

Re: The Official 2011-12 Regular Season Talk Thread

Good start for the Wings up 1-0 on the 'Hawks.

Oh man, that's a big blow to the Avs. Injuries really de-railed this team last year. O'Reilly has been the team's best player, but he can't do everything out there, so yes, guys like Jones need to step up and score some goals and make plays. Same goes for Brandon Yip whenever he's ready to contribute something.

One of the most laughable penalty shot calls I've ever seen...
