@Stabbity Jones — First of all, that's the best screenname I've seen in quite some time. Second, you make a good point. I should create a chart showing where certain players are allowed to handle the puck. Bertuzzi's zone would be a hell of a lot smaller than above the circles… it'd be a 4×4 square at the top of the opponent's net…because we've all seen that it's the only place he can actually score from.

@Jenn — If I had someone taping me attempt a backflip, it'd end badly. Like, not-quite-getting-halfway-around-and-landing-on-the-back-of-my-neck bad. For some reason, a backflip was something I could never do. Perhaps a photoshop of some sort is in order…

I didn't see any of the game, but listened to the whole thing on XM radio. It sure did seem like Jimmy saved us WAY too many times. And I think I am less bothered by all the goalposts/crossbars than some people, though I might feel differently if I saw them.

Also, I was REALLY wishing no one on the radio or Twitter would even say the words "two goal lead." I think we should come up with something else to call that. Yes, I am a little superstitious! :)

Finally, if we do trade Lebda for that draft pick, I fully expect you to capture the backflip on video and post it for our enjoyment!

There were times when they were more aggressive on the pk then when they were 5 on 5. Bertuzzi, Lebda, and Ericsson shouldn't be allowed to handle the puck in their own end. Let's say from the top of the circles on down just to be safe.
