Forgot I made this last season, must have been drinking heavily toward the end of the season.

If the hockey gods didn't want you to hit him, they wouldn't have sat him so close to your fists Slug him!

Whoever wins tonight goes to first place in the league...

If you streak on the ice i'll make you a moderator

I am pretty close to punching the Tampa fan sitting behind me.

Our old friend, STILL holding that grudge against Babs...

LOL Keats: "From the Joe on a Monday ... i mean,From the Little Caesars Arena on a Monday"

Green! Sweet!

Trade value rises

Underrated post.

Aren't there exceptions for that "First do no harm" thing for people that are pissing you off at a hockey game?

Punch Ericsson

Do it! We need some momentum!

Abby Dabby Doo!!! Go Spartans!!

Dabs, how does Girardi look out there?

I love it. Sure there's better pizza out there, but for a cheap greasy pizza its gooooood.

Not the first I've heard this, but I couldn't disagree more. Little Caesars is amaz-balls.

Agreed. To be fair Dan Milstein runs Datsyuks twitter, so its not Pavel. But Commodore just comes off like a sad washed up loser.

Kind of sad. It would be one thing if Babs was tweeting Commodore and he responded, but to go out of his way to give Datsyuk s*** for saying something positive to babs is a really bad look.

To me there's a difference between Tkachuk and Marchand. Marchand is just plain dirty. He'll spear you in the groin, sweep your legs, and all of the above. Personally not a fan of these types of dudes, but they make great villains fersure. Tkachuk is physicality meets almost a foolish level of confidence. He'll lay some questionable hits no doubt, but he's not the dirty dirt bag Marchand is. He just goes to dirty areas and actually enjoys it. Kid is most comfortable playing at a super intense level. Marchand will buttend you in the groin while no ones looking. Tkachuk will wait till your head is down, then fling his entire body at you while everyone is looking.

My theory on the Last Jedi (possible spoilers) Force Awakens was the setup to the new sequel trilogy, much like New Hope was the setup to the original Star Wars. And much like in the 2nd film Empire Strikes Back, the 2nd film The Last Jedi will have a shocking twisting akin to "No, I am your father". Lucasfilms has even already promised a "shocking revelation of the past" in The Last Jedi. A lot of people think this twist will be finding out who Snoke is... I think that's too simple and certainly not twisty enough, but we have to answer who Snoke is regardless. To do that I think you have look back at Vader, the original unknown Sith. George Lucas's biggest clue that Vader was Luke's father was in the name Vader, which is basically a foreign spelling of the word father. Looking at the name snoke critically, it looks like an obvious combination of the words Smoke and Snake. Smoke as in a smoke screen or distraction, and snake as in lies or deceit. A snoek is also a type of fish... But not just any fish. A snoek is a herring. Like a red herring argument, snoke is a misleading distraction from what is actually going on. This is why they never revealed much about the guy. He's a deliberate farce. Even the way he appears in the first movie pays homage to Wizard of Oz. He appears as a giant scary flickering hologram.... but in the end he's just that, a fake hologram, nothing more. Once you establish that Snoke is a puppet being paraded around, the question becomes... who is the puppeteer? We know a couple of things. Whoever is controlling Snoke has to be powerful in the force. They explain that Snoke is strong in the dark side of the force, so his master or puppeteer has to be at least equally as strong. From a narrative/story-telling standpoint we know it has to be an already established character that the audience actually cares about. They can't just explain a new character with a new character. In this respect they also can't just bring back a dead character. It has to be a natural continuation of the story. Saying "it was Darth Maul the whole time! He never actually died!" would just cheapen the plot. So who is this evil dark side puppeteer that we know as a character and isn't already dead? The first clue comes in Force Awakens: "Luke Skywalker has vanished. In his absence the sinister First Order has risen from the ashes of the Empire" So the empire is defeated, the galaxy is saved, then Luke disappears and the First Order, with a powerful new baddie sith, just conveniently comes out of nowhere? There's more going on there that hasn't been explained to us. Also why is Snoke so willing to let the map that leads to Luke Skywalker, the most powerful man in the galaxy, be destroyed? Wouldn't he rather obtain the map for himself and use his Death Star laser on the planet Luke is living on, winning the war for himself once and for all? doesn't make sense does it. Folks, the answer is Luke Skywalker has fallen to the darkside. The audience and the other characters in the plot just don't know it yet. Remember when Luke was training under master Yoda on Dagobah? Leia and Han had been captured by Vader on the cloud city. While frantically scrambling to get off Dagobah to go rescue his friends Yoda warns him not to go. That if he abandons his training now to rescue his friends he will go down the path to the darkside and it will consume his destiny. Luke foolishly doesn't listen and abandons his training. Sure enough, Luke returns to Dagobah to attempt to complete his training in Return of the Jedi, but it's too late. Yoda is kill. So now you have an extremely powerful force sensitive being, who has a history of extreme darksidedness on his fathers side, who is not trained in the ways of the jedi, heading off to kill and hopefully not be turned by the most powerful Sith Lord of all time. Yoda is an 800 year old jedi master, he doesn't just make these predictions up. In The Last Jedi we will finally see Yoda's warning come true. We also don't know what went wrong at Luke's jedi temple. Just that something went horribly wrong and Luke took off. I would hedge my bets that he went dark, decided that Ben Solo (who shares his skywalker blood) would be his new Sith apprentice and commanded the now Kylo Ren to off the rest of the jedi students. (The Sith rule of 2 says there can only be one master and one apprentice) However he did this all through his mask: Snoke, who Kylo does not realize is Luke. This would also explain how Kylo came into possession of Vaders burned helmet. Surely an artifact that would have been in the possession of Luke. Now, Luke will try to swap out Kylo for Rey, much like how Palpatine attempted to swap out Vader for Luke. This explains as well the title The Last Jedi. Luke was it. The last. And now he's gone. The Jedi are over. The "no, I am your father" twist flipped the whole narrative in the originals. It was no longer about simply destroying the bad guy, it was about redeeming Anakin Skywalker and bringing him back to the light. It created a villain we cared about. We are witnessing the same with Luke. He will go from hero to anti-hero/villain, which creates a bad guy that the audience actually cares about, and our good guys will go out looking for Luke not to destroy him, but to redeem him and bring him back to the light. Like his father before him.

Dear Lions, Thank you for beating the Vikings. My Vikings-fan friend and I had a pride bet. Had the Lions lost, I would have had to say, "May the Force be with you" to every customer the next shift I work. Sincerely, Lions fan in Vikings territory

Welcome to version 4.0 of the LetsGoWings.com Forums! This is the largest update to the forums since v3.0 was launched back in 2010, and by far the most extensive. The site now features a completely responsive design and should run far faster than the previous rendition and includes many bells and whistles that weren't available on the previous version. Unfortunately it took a bit longer for this upgrade to happen, but I hope you feel it was worth the wait! As with any upgrade of this magnitude there's going to be some tinkering going on (some things may look odd or out of place). Don't fret! There'll be some periodic updates as the last wrinkles are ironed out with this release. Feel free to PM me through the forums here if you find a bug, have a problem, etc.. Thank you and LGRW!
