A little love for the Wings?

That's great, I do nothing on Sunday afternoons. I can watch hockey for the next few weeks.

I think Sunday's are NBC, but you better double check, they may be versus.

I thought Saturdays were NBC.

Then again I don't know shit about hockey.

Karl, does Jesus watch hockey?

No, he's watching you.

Back to hockey...the Wings are what, 41-10? 42-10?

Who has the best record in NHL history and what is it?

Wings have the most wins, 62 I think. Can't remember who has the most points, Montreal I think. Both records will probably go down at some point soon because of shootouts.

Tonight, 8pm, FSN

Sweet win tonight. They play like shit and still find a way to win the game.

Awesome game.

I had to turn it off when it was still 1-1.

February 6, Toronto Star: Lidstrom is the best player on the best team. So shouldn't an awful lot more people be making an awful lot more noise about Lidstrom winning his first Hart Trophy as league MVP this season?

"I have no idea why Nick Lidstrom hasn't won a Hart already," said an exasperated Detroit GM Ken Holland. "I just don't know what people are watching. I mean, he doesn't win because why, he's not a good quote?"

Cox notes that Lidstrom, comparatively speaking, is a +86 to Ducks defenceman Scott Niedermayer's +1 over the last two seasons, and he suggests that Lidstrom negates the Wings' disadvantage when, again, comparatively speaking, Detroit's blueline is compared to Anaheim's. Mostly, Cox does what the Red Wings need going into their Saturday afternoon tilt vs. the Maple Leafs--he suggests that the legions of media (and fans) watch Lidstrom with the Hart Trophy in mind:

These days, defencemen generally don't bring the "wow" factor the way Bobby Orr and Paul Coffey once did. So with Lidstrom coming to the ACC this week along with the rest of the Red Wings, there's no buzz as there would be if Pittsburgh and Sidney Crosby or even Washington and Alex Ovechkin were en route.
Oh, yes, and he quarterbacks the power play in his spare time. So maybe this is a good week to have a good, long look when he skates against the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

He's the best player in the sport this season, leading the best team to one of the more dominant seasons in league history. End of discussion.
