from Helene Elliott of the LA Times,
No crowd will ever sing the praises of the winning team’s general manager, as the fans in Joe Louis Arena chanted “Oz-ie” Monday in tribute to goaltender Chris Osgood’s second consecutive shutout in the Stanley Cup final.
If ever a general manager deserved public accolades it’s Detroit’s Ken Holland, who put together a team that takes its dedication to defense as seriously as its dedication to one another.

Jeff, I had the pleasure of meeting Helene and she is very dedicated to the game.
Also, it is nice to see the LA Times actually covering the SCF.

Sweet, I bet you have had a fabulous time lately, are you going to PIT too?

Jeff, Not going to PITT unless game 4 means something big could happen.

Paul, the way things are going so far in this series, game 4 could mean quite alot; especially if DET scores first on WED.
Pens haven’t shown much during 5 on 5 play; but since they get the last change at home—maybe that will change up a little. I don’t think so. Lack of experience will have them gripping their sticks awfully tight Wed, in a must win game for them. And since they haven’t been there before, well it could get ugly.

Great article Paul. Ms. Elliott is a very good writer. Ken Holland certainly deserves all of Mr. Elliott’s lavish praise.
But I liked this sentence best:
