Had to be posted

Yes! I am SO EXCITED for this game! Why? Because it's the next one! I'm a fan. So sue me.

So.. who had the 32 goals? Dallas or Los Angeles? Will miss probably first period due to my sister baptism, I'm an uncle Wings win on this big day for me and the family!

Good idea. What could possily go wrong?

TSN is great. CBC? Not so much.

People are too hard on Val. Hes a bargain at 3 mil per.

Lock this retarded thread.

Zetterberg has 18 points on the season.

Oh geez. What'll Eddie O and Pierre say now? Bunch of anti-Wings douchbags. esteef

Good summary. I actually like Doc if Edzo isn't in the booth with him. Though I think he says "DRIVE" in one game more times than Teal'c said "indeed" during the entire run of Stargate SG-1. Howie with a great save in that sequence.

Dear Doughty, Please hit someone else. We need the goals. Thanks. Your friends, the Wings fans

Suck it Doughty.

At one point, it looked like it was going to squat right on the ice. That clean-up would have been classic. Have they ever had Simon & Garfunkel sing the national Anthem?

kings are my second team.. but today, they might as well be my last. get 'em boys!! going to the game, so i'm stoked! go wings!

I remember an article from 10 years ago in the Freep, where they interviewed Yzerman, Hull, Robitaille and Shanahan (so over 2000 NHL goals then), and they all said the number one reason for the decline in scoring back then was goalie equipment. Hull admitted to actually trying to hurt Hasek in practise once, and Hasek didn't even notice. I also remember one of them saying that there was a time when you could score with a really good slapper, but with the big equipment it was impossible without a screen and/or deflection. You can have a stick made out of kryptonite, but if the goalie equipment is so big that the entire net is covered, you ain't gunna score.

I'm gonna go against the flow and say I just am not seeing the dramatic improvement. At best, I'll say he's cut down on the bone headed plays. But he still makes them and there are way too many of them. I think one of the reasons he seems to be improving in the eyes of some fans is because the rest of the defensive corps has collectively taken such a huge drop off in the last few years. Basically, I still can't stop from cringing when it's a tight game and he's got the puck deep in the Wings zone and someone is bearing down on him and he has to make a quick decision. When I can stop cringing in those situations - I'll start singing a different tune.

The wait is about that long.

I have a lot of fond memories and nostalgia for the Joe, but the place is a dump. It already wasn't great when I started going there in the mid 80s and certainly hasn't improved with age. What inadequate about it? Virtually everything but the sight lines. Location, appearance, getting in and out of the building, concessions, bathrooms...

I think it's a matter of perspective. You don't notice Ken and the gang because you agree with their take on the game... They are broadcasting the game to the red wings home market. The CBC broadcast is geared toward their home market Edmonton and Canada more generally. As a wings fan I could see no more bias toward the Oilers on CBC than toward the Wings on an FSD broadcast. Use the Chicago crew as the bar. They are disgustingly "homer" in their call of the game. The CBC broadcast today was not even on the same planet as that bar.

Quincey is the WB now

He's not lazy

I can tell you why he's still on the team. I can't tell you why he's still being played.
