Reminder: If you’re going to the Joe today, A2Y reader Voox is offering a lucrative prize to anyone who can get a sign on the air that mentions Pierre McGuire’s A2Y nickname.
In case you’d forgotten, he’s the Douche Canoe. The prize? Two tickets to a Leaf game next season, with the possibility of that game being against Detroit. Added bonus: you get that frigging sign on the air behind McGuire’s bald head and you’ll attain instant legend’s status here on A2Y.

Datsyuk “had” the puck come to him? I wonder… does he just whisper softly under his breath, “Here, puck! Here, puck!” like he calls his dog? Is it a Spock-like mind thing? Is it due to some forces of physics known only to Pronger? I think a diligent DD would set about to uncover this mystery.

RWBill- I’m watching the game today from a friend’s housewarming/patio cookout (38 degrees and rain in Chicago, perfect spring picnic weather). My contribution: A mini-keg of Two Hearted.

No sign this game, but I did notice NBC was pretty quick to zoom in on his cranium to eliminate the chance of a sign sneaking back there.
In the 3rd period, I noticed a security guard placed at the bottom of the aisle during one of McGuire’s post-commercial commentaries… he wasn’t there at other points in the game that I saw.
Maybe NBC/TSN are getting a little worried about this contest.
The contest remains open for the remainder of the 2008 playoffs, hopefully we can get it done during a Wings game.

NEWSFLASH NHL.COM: “WINGS LUCKY”
NHL.com to the Douche Canoe’s rescue, and Dan Rosen confirms what we knew, Datsyuk is lucky, the puck “just comes to him”. Never mind he has led the NHL in take-aways the last 2 years or appears out of a mass of skates with the puck glued to his stick time after time. NHL.com confirms the Douche Canoe is a genius, and the Wings win was fortunate.

“One game into the series, McGuire appears dead on. The reason Detroit won the series opener, 3-1, was because of a fortunate play by Datsyuk and Zetterberg that resulted in the game-winning goal.
Datsyuk and Zetterberg prevented Weber from clearing the puck. Datsyuk then had the puck come to him with Zetterberg dashing toward the slot. He made a cross-ice pass to Zetterberg, who one-timed the puck into the back of the net.”
Freaking hilarious “Datsyuk had the puck come to him” ! Written like an Avs apologist!! Break out the Bell’s Two Hearted Ale an hour before game time, these ignorant Bastards are pissing me off!
