I was glad to see McCarty do so well. It's one thing to just talk, but something altogether different to talk on television. He looked very professional and was easy to understand (no mealy-mouthed mumbling). Good for him.

I just hate getting Pekka slapped. (wait, is it still cool to make dick jokes about the guy's name? Aw, screw it, It's still fun nonetheless).

I liked how the Versus guys called the Nashville fanbase "knowledgeable" before having a good laugh at the redneck hat trick. I'm just sad that it happened in a loss, so I couldn't enjoy it more.

JJ, you're right. I didn't mean for it to sound like Rinne beat the Wings single-handedly. But he IS 10-1 in his last 11, and I think I started down the "everyone has a better goalie" road, but realized it wasn't fair to say tonight because Osgood did what he could. And you nailed it -- the Red Wings are allergic to the middle of the ice (or sexually attracted to the outside).

I didn't hear Darren Meech, but that doesn't surprise me at all. The play-by-play/color team was fairly brutal last night. I know the Twitterverse was going nuts with some of the retarded things that came out of those mouths.

"Also, there is no Brad Lebda on the Red Wings".

No, there isn't. There is no "Darren Meech" either. They sucked.

I don't want to give Pekka Rinne too much credit. Both Erat goals came from spots on the ice that we didn't shoot from once the entire game. It's like the Wings are playing that kid's game where the center of the ice is made of hot lava and you'll die if you go in there. They went to the center three times in the first five minutes and looked really good, then decided that they had enough of that good offensive pressure bullshit, so it was time to go back to fighting on the boards. Why the hell not? That's how Randy Couture won his last MMA fight, right?
