And with victory comes JUSTICE.

What I'd like to see is Malkin covered with a blanket of stick blows resulting in injury.

The problem here is that we'll likely have Karlsson matched up against Malkin, and Karlsson is far too nice to hurt anyone...his one flaw.

Also, apparenlty Johnson might be the starter tonight, which means we should start Auld, just so Anderson doesn't get his face caved in when the inevitable goalie fight breaks out.

Via BooBoo: Brent Johnson first goalie off in Pitt

Interesting...

So, no, not coincidence. Actually, a lot of things I once thought were coincidences can't be considered coincidences given this Webster's definition. My world is crumbling. Knowledge is weakness. Ignorance is bliss.

Thank you, Mr. Science!

I was saving myself from the inevitable screen-punch that would have resulted if Prags had responded correcting the use of "coincidency". And, you're welcome!!

Excellent pre-emptive strike by you. That poor bastard who incorrectly used the term "law of averages" is still feeling the sting I'm sure.

I think he must've offed himself...hasn't been seen around here since.

I hope it is, I want revenge on that guy for owning us when we were a lazy team.

What if, at the precise moment, SSF writes JUSTICE I write JUST ICE, would that be coincidence?

James Neal is playing tonight. Slashes to the foot are necessary.

Cowen, you're up.

Yep. Mendes confirms that James has declared himself good to go: James Neal: "I'm good to go tonight."

Accuscore has us as a 36/64 underdog tonight...

"We gets no respect..."

Anyone wonder if Neal's injury was over-stated or is he just playing through the pain? If it's the latter I doubt he'll be overly effective but ya never know?

He's definitely injured but apparently, according to Neal, the skate actually stabilizes the injury to the point where skating doesn't hurt that much.

Interesting. My money is on Neal not being able to finish the game.

If you split that word in two it's JUST ICE. Coincidence?

I'll wait and see what wprager has to say about the use of the word "coincidence" in this instance before I agree or disagree. Wouldn't want to appear foolish.

Take away co-n-id-nce and you have ice. And from what you took out you can still make "on ice" and have CDN left. Of course we all know that CDN stands for "Canadian!"

Ice! Canadian On Ice!

Coincidence? Ice think not!

Nothing that a two-hander to the knee area can't fix.

A well-executed Marchand to the knee.
