Babcock confident going into Game 4

He told the media today: “I know you don’t like to hear it, but I think we’re going to be more than fine.” (via. Kukla)

“We’ll see how his injury is. But, uh…”

- from NBC’s rinkside pre-game interview with Chris Pronger (said with a barely concealed smirk). Can you guess which player he’s talking about? It’s times like these that I really wish the Wings had an enforcer…

ESPN: Facing Off: Q&A with Niklas Kronwall

A great interview, via A2Y/Kukla. I like this part:

Q: Some people have dubbed you “Baby Lidstrom.” Do you like that nickname? A: Some people like to call me that and that may be their opinion, but I’m not trying to copy his style of play, I just want to play the way I can. I just want to carve out my own identity.

Good answer, Nik.

Quote of the Day

From Helene St. James’ Hockey Diary:

A reporter asked Chris Chelios whether Sweden is a better team with Peter Forsberg. Chelios’ answer was vintage Chelios: “I would say ‘yes.’ He’s a pretty good player. Is this is a trick question?”

That is vintage Chelios. I can hear him say it. What a dumb question, seriously.

Nice to see the Freep get on the blog bandwagon. First it was the News’ Ted Kulfan “blog,” then Ansar Khan’s mLive-style blog and now we have Ms. St. James’. It’d be nice to see a links list from those three and maybe some more interactive functionality as well. Blogging is more than a format, guys, it’s a dialog. Want to join the conversation?

Quote of the Week

I like this sentiment (from today’s Freep):

Coach Mike Babcock watched the Super Bowl and said it was nice that Jerome Bettis went out a champion in his final game.

“Reminded me of Ray Bourque or John Elway,” Babcock said. “I don’t think there’s any better way. We should be doing the same thing here for (No.) 19.

“If it’s going around, you might as well catch it.”

I couldn’t agree more.

Also, posting may pick up some more soon. A due date has been pushed back so the academic pressure isn’t as serious this week, though I do still have a lot to do.
