No Sympathy.  Smyth: Out

The hits just keep onnnnnnnnnn comin’ for the Dive.  Check this out.

St. James

Peter Forsberg is questionable, and Ryan Smyth is out with a foot injury.

Headline says broken foot. 

We’ll have the Game 3 Keys posted in a little while.  But I have time, due to the 2200 start.  Thanks Gary.  Ass.

First…a few tidbits.

Is there a hockey game tonite?  I’m just wondering because if you look at the online Freep this morning, be prepared to drag that slider bar waaayyyy down before you see a Wing story.

After the Lions, the Pistons, more Lions, a few more Pistons articles, then tenth story down the page?  Oh. There’s a Wing story.  Out of sight, out of mind, I’m guessing.

Triple Bravo.  BBB.  Remember that.  Ponder on it for a moment.  If you’re a Dive blogger, and you’ve been waiting for that first victory, you felt it was right there yet continued to elude you?  Frustrating.  Painfully frustrated.  Blue, in fact.  Get it?  We’ll come back to that.  Triple Bravo.

Hey, the Anti-Digger’s back.  Nick and Pavel get the shaft while the Dive essentially take a day off.

It’s disappointing to see that neither Nicklas Lidstrom nor Pavel Datsyuk were among the three finalists for the Hart Trophy as announced today by the NHL.
Calgary Flames right wing Jarome Iginla, Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin and Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin are the three finalists.

The Avs on on the ice right now for an optional morning skate. Peter Forsberg, who practiced yesterday, isn’t on the ice. I’ll update his status after practice. To give perspective, there are just nine forwards on the ice and six defensemen. Scott Hannan isn’t on the ice either.

What a tease.  You went into this series expecting satisfaction and you just…can’t….get it.  Triple Bravo.  Pain you haven’t felt since your high school years.

Secret frigging weapon alert.  Courtesy of the cheerful crew over at Mile High Hockey.

Peter Forsberg is still a maybe, as always, and at this point I don’t care.  If he plays, great, if not, whatever.  If he doesn’t, though, don’t expect to see Jaroslav Hlinka on the ice again.  TJ Hensick skated with the team in practice yesterday and it wouldn’t shock me to see him in the lineup.  Not that it would help, since he grew up a Detroit fan and could very well be a traitor in our midst.

For some reason, I thought Hensick was a Wing-hater.  Could be wrong on that.  Happened once, maybe twice before.  No matter. Forsberg’s in tonite.  There is no doubt in my simple mind.

MHH’s Joe won’t admit it, but he knows what Triple Bravo means.  The kind of pain that BBB brings is second to none.  It prevents all logical thought and the only relief is success.  I’m telling you. I’ve been there.  Triple Bravo brother.  The worst kind of pain. 

We’ll explain more later, unless somebody can guess.  I’m telling you though, nothing hurts worse than the color blue.
