So it sounds like Draper and Datsyuk are back in tonite.

Should be interesting to see how healthy Datsyuk is.

Is his injury 'upper body' or lower body'?

Well that's it the Wings are done for this year. I don't see them winning any more games after this.

I think we're getting a little bit ahead of ourselves here. Anyway, good game by Pittsburgh overall. As far as Game 5 is concerned I really the think the key is going to be Fleury. I really think he has to stand on his head and steal the game if they want to have a chance of winning in Detroit.

That shorthanded goal by Staal is the first time i've seen anything phase the Wings this playoff. They looked rattled after that one.

A couple of those Pittsburgh goals were examples of the bounces finally going their way.. (Ericsson got his stick on the one, and it bounced right back to Malkin...Zetterberg swings wildly at the puck and knocks it off of one Pens' stick and right onto another.)

Momentum is definitely on the Pens side right now, but it could easily swing back back in Detroit.

Toronto....Legacy?

TORONTO - A new Toronto-based group has come forward with a proposal to launch a second NHL franchise in Toronto in time for the 2012-13 season.

The Toronto Legacy Group, led by founder Andrew Lopez, laid out its vision at a news conference Friday, suggesting that C$1 billion in private financing is already in place for the proposed expansion team.

The team would be known as the Toronto Legacy, and would play out of a proposed 30,000-seat arena built at Downsview Park, located in the north of the Greater Toronto Area. Lopez said the site would include a community athletic centre, 50-metre Olympic swimming pool, four outdoor rinks and public park space among other amenities.

Lopez said the proximity of the second franchise to the Toronto Maple Leafs would foster a new and exciting NHL rivalry without pulling fans away from the Air Canada Centre.

"We're not here to compete with the Toronto Maple Leafs," said Lopez. "We're here to be their little brother."

Lopez's group is taking a more unique approach than past expansion hopefuls. The group, which unveiled its logo and jersey at the news conference, has proposed that 25 per cent of its annual net profits will be divided amongst charitable foundations and non-profit organizations. If successful, the group will also hand over every dollar of seat licence fees to foundations and charities.

He added that roughly half the tickets to every game would be available for $50 in an effort to make the game more affordable for fans.

I am speechless. I am without speech.

These two sentences said by the same person do not compute!

Of course it computes! The Leafs are just the big brother whom they will....not compete against....with a larger arena and cheaper ticket prices. silly

The Penguins should just give up now. Good grief.

I told you....they cannot win in Detroit unless Fleury steals the game and now he's pulled.

Talk about losing your composure. Pittsburgh have got "The Crazy Eye!"

I'm sure it's all trying to send a message at this point, but man...

Datsyuk is really lookin' good out there.

Pavs coming back = Wings winning game five.

Yeah that was what getting me really worried. He is the guy they really needed back. I'm not going to change my icon back to the Wings either. But I will say thank you god that Pavs is back and thank you Wings for showing me you were not rolling over and dieing.

6 Game will be hard for the Wings. But with Pavs back even though the Pens will be on home ice well it will be harder for the Pens to win to. Pavs really changed the face of these next two maybe three games.
