    Although for the 4th year in a row, a Jennings winner will not win the Vezina.

    ...and if the President's trophy was awarded to a single position for a team accomplishment. But it's not. Comparing the Jennings to the Conn Smythe is laughable.

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    Not like Parker was some super weapon with his 71.9 average YPG that season. Steelers were 23rd in rushing that year. Your defense making a huge play and Ben making his first TD pass at the very end of his 2nd Super Bowl won the Steelers that ring.

    So do you think the President's Trophy is more impressive than the Stanley Cup?

    I mean, we could use his regular season numbers when he was coming off back surgery. Or we could look at what he did last year in the playoffs...

    As it's been noted elsewhere, before this game the last 5 teams still alive were the last 5 Cup winners. Pretty crazy really.

    Come on man, OT win in Game 7 against your most hated rival. You would have been pumped too had the Kings needed OT to win last night.

    It wasn't even like there was roughing going on. Guy took a hit, then tangled up went down to the ice. No jabs were thrown, nothing.

    Once you're down 3-1...you have to win 3 in a row. Yeah, they put themselves in that position, and should always do more where a refs call isn't what costs you a series, but it doesn't make a bad call a good one. If they win in OT everyone can just talk about the adversity they overcame.

    This would be inconsistent with how most playoff games are officiated. Obviously sounds ridiculous, but it's a fact. Come 3rd period and OT in a tied game, stuff that would get called in the 1st is sometimes let go. I usually don't have a problem with that either.

    With under 2 minutes to go in a tied up Game 7...I don't think you call that. They let everything go for the previous 8+ minutes, then call two guys battling? Unreal weak call.

    This would be a case when supreme rustling would be absolutely justified. I can't believe that call was made.

    So much this. Frankly if he sticks around I wonder how much he overpays Lundy on his next deal. Not saying Henrik isn't in the top tier of goalies, but I think these days there is a limit to how much you need to be paying your goaltender.

    Gotta give them credit Ishad, a lot of people wrote them off from even making the playoffs without Lidstrom this year (and up until the very end with Columbus charging). Upsetting the Ducks and pushing Chicago to 7 is still good experience for the young guys even if they don't pull off this upset.

    I think the bigger stat they showed was that Detroit has given up the most 3rd period goals of any team in the playoffs. Granted, they've played the max number of games, but still they had given up far more in 3rd's than in 1st or 2nd periods so far...could be tired legs getting to them, and a...

    Toews was much more excusable, he's giving all out effort to even get a stick on the puck to knock it out of the zone. Oduya just had no clue what the situation was.

    Fast and the Furious 6

    Can't imagine he would say no to being a part of it if they asked. Fast 6 did almost $100 million, biggest opening for the franchise. Nice to see it decimate Hangover 3 as well.

    On the flip side...if the Hawks do pull out the win tonight, how do the Wings come back knowing they've blown the 3-1 lead and having to go back to Chicago for Game 7.
