And went to Ohio State. Boo.

Tee hee.

Gotta love seeing how the goalie interference call is so inconsistent.

How was that second hit on Flip legal? puck was gone for a week.

HELM HIT THE NET!~!@@@!!!!!!!!RWEFSC$!!!

I'll be at this game! flew in from the easy kootenays yesterday just for this, first nhl game ever. Go Wings!

I think our FSN crew might be enjoying a little too much Miller Lite for a broadcasting scenario.

Teammates want to fire up Filppula http://www.freep.com/article/20110925/SPORTS05/109250596/Red-Wings-teammates-want-fire-up-Valtteri-Filppula Ken Holland was probably the first to throw out that 70 point potential number for Filppula right after he signed him to his current contract. At the same time, he added a qualifier to it. So I'd like to poll LGW and maybe create our own definition of what a breakout year for him would really be. I'd also like to see where people predict his point totals will be by the end of the year. It could be a fun little hindsight thread.

Negged for that?

What a bunch of dirty ass clowns.

Didn't Kronwall score after Luongo got bumped last year and it didn't count?

I know we are all pissed that the ref allowed that goal, but bigger picture.... terrible effort by Zata and another shortie where HUDLER was on the point. I'm not blaming Hudler for the goal, but we need a real defensman on the point for the power play.

I still think the Wings will come back. Get a quick one here, guys. one goal game then!

I'd like to call 1-800 CALL SAM for this Red Wings defense ruining my night so far.

I'm confused. Based on how their fans were acting at the time I thought they won the Cup last December.

Does anyone know if there is a stream tonight anywhere? Preferably Detroit if you got it. NM...found one.

If only they had some kind of subtitle to interpret the English speak to French speak. Oh well, guess they will be in the dark for all interviews.

I know this doesn't answer your questions, but whenever I go to a game, or any event for that matter, I always carry my " I SNUCK IN" sign...looks hilarious when seen on tv...or maybe its just me

How many of those 90% French speaking fans do you think can speak English as well? Probably close to all of them especially the younger ones. So would it really be a burden to listen to an interview from the coach in English which you can certainly understand just fine? It's a game FFS. Everything of importance in their life like business and whatever else is probably done in French. I actually went to Montreal 2 years ago in the summer. I don't speak a lick of French and I had no trouble eating out or going to bars or anything really.

Probably.

Yes but what other choice does babs have.

I don't hate the Nucks, nor have I jumped on any hate bandwagon. I watched the WCF with my own two eyes. IMO it was a pitiful display. The Nucks have their rep for a reason. I hope it changes soon. And yes, people dive on all teams, even ours. The difference is that I actually call out the Wings when they do it, I don't giggle because they got away with it or got a call because of it. I consider it disgraceful and wish the refs would call it. And try not to get so defensive. Yes, you're in enemy territory, but I never even hinted that you should switch allegiances, nor was I holding Detroit up as some paragon. I didn't have to - we all know it already!

Sorry, Chairman, but I lost a lot of respect for the Nucks after the WCF last year. Not only was it a pitiful display, but so very unnecessary. Vancouver was too talented for that crap. Not that the Sharks weren't just as pathetic, but who gives a rats ass about them right now? I hope to see a good game by both teams, with the Wings never letting the Nucks get even a whiff of a win.

I don't want to start a flame war about politics but... it's perfectly ordinary to see politicians stirring the pot with statements whenever they think they can gain any popularity, nevermind the subject and any common sense about issues really having anything to do with politics. so, apparently, Quebec officials decided, that their electorate is likely to appreciate government doing its best "Francophone small **** syndrome" impression. If anything, this speaks volumes about... the electorate. Aparently, French-Canadian are more concerned about the language than the fact that their team is worthless...
