Re: Maine - the Golfing Season
Thanks for posting the facts. (I never look anything up, obviously, but I seem to remember that sanctions were on the horizon when PK checked out.)
In any case, if a guy stays for 4 years in any school, you probably won't see him in the NHL. (Lundin is an exception, but with his injuries, he's hanging by a thread.)
Flip side: if a guy dons a Maine sweater for 10 minutes, I'll watch him at the next level, should he make it there. Most of Maine's early-departures have gotten work.
Looking forward to seeing Goose and Jimmy tonight, for example. That's a big game for each of them, and for Detroit as a team. And Dustin appears to have punched his ticket for the next round; let's see if he continues to contribute.
The playoffs are great to watch, as long as you still have a dog in the hunt.

Re: Maine - the Golfing Season
Good one..!!! Boy if that was someone who should have stayed for two more years...oh well...that smell of Bonus Money and the Dreams of the NHL are sometimes too hard not to go for,but even then,with his skill's in the offensive end I would bet 1-2 more years would have been to his benefit(only imo). Was that Carton purchased in a ECHL City to be named later..!

Re: Maine - the Golfing Season
I was a little surprised to see him scratched tonight.
And what was up with Jimmy's 2nd goal allowed? Terrible decision-making.

Looks like Detroit is done, Nashvilles goalie is better

Nyquist wasn't scratched, but he only skated 6 minutes.

Re: Maine - the Golfing Season
I guess he figured that if three of his teammates were chasing one Predator, there must be a good reason and he might as well join the chase.
Re: Maine - the Golfing Season
Howard isn't doing anything to distinguish himself, but it's not like there's shame in coming in 2nd to Pecca Rinne.
Anyone remember when the Red Wings had an offense? They didn't used to be this easy to shut down.

The red wings have gotten old. I don't mean this as a slight to the players but I don't think the motivation is there that there used to be. The salary cap has really ruined the NHL for me. There should be about eight fewer teams or go 4x4 the whole game.

Re: Maine - the Golfing Season
The Only problem with Detroit is that Nashville is better and ready to make a run...as for 4x4 hockey well I hope not...playoff hockey and overtime go together...4x4 hockey equals 7-6/8-6/9-8 games....Old Time Hockey is the best...too much tweaking just ruins the game(and thats ONLY imo).
Re: Maine - the Golfing Season
He might make an appearance soon.
It's been 5 years...he is now eligible for the Timmay Excuse Hall of Fame. That's a red carpet event you don't miss when you get an invite.
He is no shoo-in to win though. Ben Bishop foregoing his senior year is also up for 1st ballot. Voters will surely be torn between Bishop's greater overall impact vs. Sweetland's longer remaining tenure.
Who knows? Maybe this will finally be the year that "The local Irving was all out of Spearmint before every big game"; or as I like to think of it...the Cris Carter of nominees....will get the well deserved, long awaited nod.
Who says the offseason is boring?!

Re: Maine - the Golfing Season
Detroit generated a ton of chances, IMO. They simply had no bounces go their way, and Rinne was just spectacular.
That sort of loss is disheartening, but with a win on Friday we have a series again.
I missed Goose's 6 minutes. Had to stay late at work that night, so I FF'ed through some of the game in order to get to bed before the sun came up. I'm going to watch every minute of the next one. I wonder if Crawford will give him more shifts, since the Wings can't seem to solve Rinne with the regular suspects..?

Re: Maine - the Golfing Season
Nobody is very comfortable with messing with the status quo in any sport, but all of them were invented way back in the Dark Age, when the average level of athleticism was miles and miles behind where it is now.
I'd like to see hockey played 4x4, same with hoops, baseball games going 6 innings, and football played 7x7. That would greatly improve the entertainment value of each of those sports, and weed-out all but the best players.

Did Detroit switch Coaches in between games..??? Isn't Babcock behind the Red Wings Bench..?

Re: Maine - the Golfing Season
Of course not. (I assumed that you could figure that out all by yourself; my bad.) But three of those sports would be more entertaining if that happened. The playing-fields have just become too small for the speed of today's athletes.
Baseball is different in that respect, but an MLB game, especially between the Sox and the Yankees, takes longer than a root canal and is twice as painful to endure.
