Homer is done. He should retire. Homer should take himself out. Wait.....Notsofast!!

Maybe you should just drop the whole neg thing and let it go. You are the only person who cares about it, like its some kind of currency or something. This is a Wings message board. Maybe you should just talk about hockey instead of your strange obsession with the +/- buttons that serve no function. People might actually stop negging you too, just a thought.

I was there - Here's my ticket. I was 11. I remember saying the words "Dad, is that blood on the boards"

Bad news, buddy.... You're actually asleep right now. Look, I know it FEELS real, but it always does in dreams. You're gonna wake up. You'll be pissed. Not only will this game not be real, you'll have to relive today's ENTIRE work day. I'm sorry dude.

If there is already a thread for this and I am blind please remove. Happy Birthday Jimmy!

97 was such an amazing year. This game, the Cup, and nWo running wild in wrestling.

Bertuzzi sucks!!!! esteef

Yess

Anybody else find it funny that Nyquist gets the FSD interview for his first career goal and all they want to do is ask him about playing with Datsyuk?

Where's LeftWinger telling us this team sucks?

There is no easy path in the West.

I was in second grade so my parents shoved me off to my grandma's house while they went to the game. I remember watching it and seeing fighting but it was kind of blurry. I remember watching the hit on Draper in the previous year and my mom explained the situation to my brother and me and made us say a prayer every night for like a week. And she made sure that we knew about dirty Claude Lemeiux. In our little minds we thought he was a monster or something. And I remember getting really excited it was like McCarty was superman. And then my mom got me a McCarty t-shirt that is so worn out and disgusting by now but I still wear it...and I always wear it on March 26th. It was down to my knees then but it fits me now. I used to try to wear it every day to school, but she kept saying no because it was so long and it looked like I had no pants on!!!

Found this one from YouTube. Nice and short 24/7-like all access video of Griffins, in HD of course. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNitx2efOkA&feature=player_embedded

the only way the wings could still play the blue jackets in the first round, is put the blue jacket players in preds jerseys

Z has been a complete beast this second half.

That first period was the JUCK F**KING POTT! Great to see Homer pop a couple, Nyquist get his first, and Hudler bury one. Keep it going guys.

I was almost seven when this game happened; watched it at home with my dad, and its earliest clear sports related memory that I have. I still end up watching this video every couple of months when I decide to kill time watching hockey clips on youtube.

Alright Kenny, enough is enough. Smith and Nyquist need to be on this team full time.

Me too! I'd hate to see him go anywhere else but here, but NHL or AHL...which would you choose? I just hope he decides to take the I-96 route...

I always forget that Larionov of all people started the brawl.

Don't we just love these quality-type problems!? Welcome back, Jonathan!!

Today is my birthday and my father said I could have anything I want. And today I want a 5-2 Red Wings victory. Henrik Zetterberg is my favorite player so he should have at least 2 goals and an assist. Oh and beat the crap out of Rick Nash in a line brawl. Now I'm not saying this game needs to be like my birthday Brawl-O-Rama from 1997 vs the Nordilanche. Nor does it need to be as good as the time my friend got me 6th row seats for my birthday and Martin LaPointe had a hat trick and I was able to send my cap to Hockey Valhalla, the Joe Louis Arena ice. Only hats and octopus go there. But like I said it's my birthday (along with Jimmeh Howard) and I want a win and an easy one at that so St. Nick and Datsyuk can have realistic first games back minutes.

Smith brings more to the table right now... but by no means does he make our defense better than with Kindl and E. He does have better speed which can make up for mistakes, but he needs to get better. While I rather see him do it now by playing in Detroit, it does make more sense to leave him in the minors next year and get Suter.

I kind of hope to see Homer in the press box once Franzen gets back. It would be a shame to see him in the line up over Nyquist. Homer is a warrior and he has served the team well over the years, but he has no place on the fourth line, or on any line really.

Sorry I know this is a little off topic, so I'll at least start by saying I think Flip will eventually be what everyone hopes for. My point though is that I am getting ******* sick of this team, I'm sorry and I may be the only one. I wan tto keep the superstars but I really wish Holland would cut some of these ******* ties and actually opted for some more new blood besides a potential goon...
