Congrats!! Bring extra batteries to take pictures of the cathedral that is Joe Louis Arena. After the game I think you should make the same choice we've all made at some point, American or Lafayette Coney Island. The Post Bar is cool and some players go there after games. I saw Chris Pronger, and assorted St. Louis Blues there long ago and got to try on Jason Williams 2002 cup ring. Maltby and Draper used to hang there long ago. Oh, and if you go to Windsor Ontario you'll want to know the answers to certain questions. What is your business in Canada? The correct answer is not "To fund the revolution." Do you have any weapons? The correct answer is not "Sure, what do you need?"

As a fan of the Red Wings since the mid-80's i've always wished to see a game in person. I live in Maryland so coordinating a quick trip in, has typically been a challenge to pull off. But that day is finally coming. Me and one of my best buds are going to the April 2nd game against the Bruins. (unfortunately he's a Bruins fan, but a hell of a guy, so i let it slide). Anyway we are flying in that morning. I'm not familiar with the city at all, game day routines, post game hangouts, etc. We are gonna stay in the city, close enough to the people mover to get us to the Joe so we won't need a car. Can anyone suggest places to go before the game, things to do after the game, must do things, etc. Sorry so long winded and vague about what i'm looking for, i just want to make sure my first visit to the Joe is a memorable one. thanks! By the way, i did splurge and we are sitting on the glass around the blue line.

Lets go Wings! I'm sitting on my couch wearing Gustavssons blocker from last season in honor of his start tonight!

Not sure if anyone noticed or mentioned this already.... but, with his 2 goals last night, Datsyuk tied Slava Kozlov with 853 career regular season points. When he gets his next point, Datsyuk will be the 5th highest scoring Russian NHL player of all time behind only Sergei Fedorov, Alexander Mogilny, Alexei Kovalev, and Alex Ovechkin.

Gonna try an effective method from last year... The wings suck, they are an absolute trash team that got lucky a few times this year and will never win in the playoffs. Jimmy is average and will never win a playoff round again, without Z this team is useless, Tatar and nyquist are hot garbage. Babcock is the worst coach ever and he's going to Toronto, and Dan Cleary is on this team. Go wings!

Only one piece of advise... Keep your head on a swivel. That's what you gotta do when you find yourself in a vicious cockfight!

HOW DARE YOU

Dekeyser-Petry would be a #nice defence pair.

Yes Howard will be the starter. Thank God there are no shootouts.

Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast.

I feel your pain Should be a win then. They have to lose some time.

this thread sounds entirely too familiar. Apparently a goalie isn't allowed to have a couple bad games after missing over a month of hockey. Trade Jimmy for a 7th rounder and bring up that ahl goalie that lets in 4+ goals every game and roll with that

Yes. He is.

Then Howard will have to face another 10 shootouts this season. Do you want that on your conscience?

I maintain that Datsyuk has the best backhander I've ever seen.

I hope he doesn't pull his groin trying to catch that plane.
