Piccolo is not impressed

I was on freep.com and they had pics of the Wings taking the ice at the Joe. It looks like Franzen is in a coaching role for these late summer skates. Its good to see him staying involved.

I doubt they were warring with each other. They were best friends on and off ice and anyone who has been to games (and seen pre game drills) or public practices will tell you that they were. Sometimes during practices they were like little kids going at it with their own little drills goofing around and laughing. I was fortunate enough to witness a lot of this and take lots of snapshots since like 2003 if you're ever interested. And I think the Red Wings facebook page has a lot of stuff on there too. Lots of fun memories for those two along with fans.

There are tons of shuttles that go to/from the Joe from/to nearby bars

Got my tickets today from StubHub even though the game is more than a month away.

wait, why is Abby scratched?

You're setting yourself up to be disappointed in Vanek

I didn't recognize him at first, he doesn't look much like him Perhaps the artist is trolling us

Rick, is that you? You sure you don't want to call a friend of yours in and verify the autograph?

So it could be Slava Kozlov's? It has some similarities but also some clear differences, I guess the thing could be where she got it from, maybe it was signed in a rush, like if met at a public place, rather than an item signed for an auction or an special event. where they could take more time to sign it properly. Either way it's pretty cool
