Just found a proxy that makes you see the philly feed directly from their page. Use 184.22.120.70 with port 3128 don't have to look at a re-streamed video via justin. Should be a little better quality.

Homer is a cheap, powerplay specialist with near unrivaled skills at what he does. I'd still take Homer over Sammy, everyday and twice on Sunday. The thing with the Wings this year is we lack offense we can count on past Pav and Hank. Our suppossed secondary scoring options are either extremely streaky (Hudler, Franzen, Bertuzzi) or injury prone (Cleary, Filppula). Homer offers a unique skill set, unrivaled powerplay skills, playoff experiance, and a low salary for it all. This will almost certainly be his last year, but given our streaky, injury prone forwards and inexperiance of the next wave (Mursak, Tatar), I'm glad he is signed for this year.

leaps and bounds better than pittsburgh's crew, though.

if... he make the Wings...put in Datsyuk line..he goin score 35 gols.. :siren:

You show me Brunnstrom parking his ass in front of the paint, warding off defencemen, and being able to put stick/body part to puck and deflect it through the smallest of openings, and I will show you Homer's Replacement. In his time in Dallas, he didn't use his size or strength much. I need to be shown differently in the regular season to be a believer.

Really wish things turned out better for him here. Stupid wrist injury.

No, it's definitely not shopped, I can tell by the pixels and I've seen a lot of shops in my life. I lol'd though.

I think some of those might be fake.

Datsyuk + Brunnstrom > Datsyuk + Holmstrom?

Same comment said by one of the commentators during the Pittsburgh game.

If you watch Versus/NBC you get used to the very same thing. Personally, I can't tolerate that.

Lilja +2 tonight

I give. I'll just live vicariously through you guys who can actually watch the game. Keep us posted!

Exelby or Smith I'm guessing since they were the dmen out there. There was no replay an the camera angle was bad. Seeing Hudler with a glove off was exciting, unfortunately he decided to spare Walker

Its not the Red Wings job to make sure other Western teams fill out their arenas. Also, if the Wings move East, these Western teams that never make the playoffs (like Columbus, St Louis) will see their odds of getting a playoff spot increase since they won't be getting beat down by the Wings. If they make the playoffs, they get at least 2 more home games. Winning games and getting into the playoffs will increase the fanbase and generate more interest. They could have sell outs for games that don't involve the Wings. Wouldn't these franchises rather have sell outs because their team is popular, not because the visiting team is popular? Also, if your franchise is dependent on the Wings visiting your city 2-4 times a year, then you're doing something wrong and you probably shouldn't have a franchise in the first place. I think its crap that Wings fans, in which most live in the Eastern time zone, have to stay up insane late to watch half their teams' road games because some Western franchises can't generate local interest in their hockey team. Meanwhile, we could have a lot of great original 6 rivalries get renewed if they moved East. The Wings are great, but they won't be great forever. Someday they'll have to rebuild and they won't be the draw in other cities that they are now. A conference realignment should have nothing to do with how good a team is at that moment because that could change any year. Okay, I'm done ranting now.

I was at the game, from what I saw: Lidstrom is still a beast, wouldn't be surprised if he wins the Norris again. Filpula has dramatically stepped his game up. Pearce was a God during the shootout. Ericsson does not deserve a roster spot.

So suppose that there's some kid out there whose friend got him interested in hockey last season, and this is his first pre-season and he's really wondering why the font is different. Do we make fun of him for not being as aware as we are, or do we welcome him to the Light Side and do all that we can to help him acclimate? Tough call.

White was a beast yesterday. Is it a coincidence he played with Lidstrom or is he really that good? I watched 2 periods of the game last night and Ericsson looked fine to me. Kindl did well too.

one year too late.

He looks like he is gonna earn a contract, but he won't start the season up here because of Jiri "Choke" Hudler...

God didn't kill anyone. Get over yourself

if... he make the Wings...put in Datsyuk line..he goin score 35 gols..
