The NHL is looking for some new referees. It would seem as though you would fit their current profile of refs that they are using these days.

I haven't noticed, no. But then again I'm blind. I lost both eyes to high sticks because I wasn't wearing a visor.

Yes, I've played at fairly competitive levels as well. The amount of injuries I've seen from random pucks far and away outweigh any negativity that a visor would bring. To me there just isn't a good reason not to wear one if you are actually smart that it is.

Pointing out a freak injury involving a player wearing a visor makes about as much sense as pointing out a freak injury that occurs because someone was wearing a seat belt. I understand cages and visors are annoying and restrict vision, but they prevent many, many more injuries than they cause.

Can't wait for someone to bump this thread when an injury to the face happens to someone. Hopefully not a Red Wing. Pleeeeeeeeease?

Lol I like hockeytowns better though

Ha that's pretty cool. I still think Aflac's GDTs were the best the internet has seen.

Hi all Red Wings fans. This is my first post. I live in Finland and i'm fanatic DRW fan. Fil was great against Penguins lastnight. Finaly. I hope he's getting better after injury. Hope Dat's coming back soon because he's my'n number 1 hockeyplayer in the world Let's go red wings. Wings for ever. And sry my english

Was at the game last night and wasn't able to gather any rational thoughts when I got home... I'll let you figure that one out. But horrific start to a game which we have seen all too often lately. The middle of the 2nd to the 3rd was some of their best brand of hockey and lucky to see the Penguins become undisciplined with a big lead, yet again. Flips and Modano were playing out of their minds last night. Flip was probably the best player on the ice the 2nd half of this game. Even aside from the goal, Modo was making plays, skating hard, and throwing some weight. Helm was being Helm and even a great game for Abby. We have to look at this game as nothing but a positive because of the circumstances and it being a comeback scenario. Hope the momentum carries over and we can get a player or 2 back for the tilt against Vancouver.

THIS Being at the Joe last night was the true rollercoaster of emotions. From the I hate my life please let it end already to the intensity of cheers rising up with every goal. My heart was pounding, my legs were weak, and the atmosphere was electric. Having never been to a finals game, I can only imagine that this is what its like. Well worth the price of admission.

Detroit has 9 points on the Hawks. The only way they take less than third is if the Hawks take the Central, which they won't.

I was at the game too. I couldn't believe the amount of Pens fans there, all wearing Crosby jerseys. It was so quiet and boring for the first 2 periods, then the 3rd was insane. Great game overall to attend. Wings got screwed in the shootout. Great save by MacDonald on Kovalev, that was a pretty nice dangle.

Just got back from the game. OMFG the Joe was just nuts in the 3rd. By far the best Wings game I've been to despite the SO loss. Way too many Pens fans there but I guess that made being at the game a lot of fun. As others have said, very happy to get a point out of this game.

Great goal by Modano. That was a sick snipe.

In the buttocks. I know it won't likely happen, but I'd love to play these tards again in the Finals. Just to feel my blood boil again.

Came home when the Wings were looking like it was headed for a loss (and when there were people s*** talking about this game being over).. I don't feel down about losing in the SO... Wings have never been good at it. Confident that the offense can stick it out and come back when they need to. Just need to work on the defense and goaltending.

God I ******* hate the penguins.

Birthday present...fullfilled

Can someone teach Helm to roof it? He gets so many chances he should have 20 goals....

Gotta lift it!

So, THAT's interference, but when Kronner gets hit from behind before he's about to shoot the puck, it's not? Got it.

Where are the hometown haters now?

although i support the right to choose what you wear either way, I have to say a visor or cage is even more needed in amateur leagues. The idiots who call them selves "hockey players" in some beer leagues and drop ins ive encountered make the worst decisions with the stick or puck that i have ever seen. The pros at least at this time still have a little bit better sense of respect and awareness when it comes to hockey that allows them to wear less protection.

Its definitely the player's choice. Absolutely ridiculous to even think they'd make visors mandatory.
