No, No, No

Hmmmm well according to On the Wings, Homer is injured again and will not play tonight. He has listed himself as day to day. Apparently he hit a rut in the ice and twisted his knee. Personally I think Gary Bettmen offered the refs a paid vacation to Tahiti, and a chance to rub Sidney Crosby's wavy locks, if they could accidentally take care of the "Holmstrom Problem." Either way the Wings will be down two forwards.

So guess what that means! All 8 defensemen will dress. Oh goody! My eyes were still a little blurry from trying to follow Helm around the ice while he was up here. Now that Chelios will be playing they can take a much needed break and focus on him trying to keep up with the youngsters.

Before you say anything, yep Meech will be playing forward, and now hold your breath....Lebda was practicing at center. Not sure if he will actually play there during the game. I get Mikey's point here, Lebda already jumps into the play, he's fast, nice shot, (at least this is what I am telling myself so I don't revert into a crying 3 year old underneath my desk, apparently corporate American looks down on this...) but if they do have him play forward.....who will play with Chelios? Yep threw up in my mouth a bit...who is going to be able to haul ass back to make up for 'speed lightening's' moves?

As everyone, their mother, their grandmother, and my best friend who hates sports has already pointed out, (yep I'm slow this morning) the Flyers have not won at the Joe since Nov. 4, 1988. Hopefully despite their sure to be interesting line combinations, and the absence of Homer's ass, the Wings will come to play and ensure that Wing Nut generations to come can say the Flyers have not won at the Joe since Nov. 4, 1988....nice ring to it....

Classic Excuses

Hmmmm... Well looks like the NHL big wigs will need to take some action on the Braydon Coburn hit on Nik Antropov. I would be pretty surprised if they didn't.



What I really enjoy from this whole episode is his excuse. He said he should not be suspended because he hit him with "a glove-stick combination."

That's like telling your parents that they caught you in a compromising position, because you fell down that way...mmmhmmm....
