I'm envisioning a Big Ol' 4 up on top tonight. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, YEAH, BEBEEE! GO, WINGS!! GO, JUMPIN' JIMMEH!!!

Can't sleep fer crap either. It's 6:40 here in good ol' Texass, and OH, how I'm hoping the Wings come with their A game tonight. I KNOW they can do it. In fact, I KNOW they can win the damn Cup again, so rather than sit here and stew I'm gonna start sending THE Juju/Mojo vibes. Join me? Cool!

I agree. Except that I think Phoenix was a bad choice in the first place for a hockey team. But it definitely could happen that some day a lot of Wings' fans will start giving up on them after some bad seasons. But those are choices we fans DO have control over. If enough fans leave, then changes will be made.

We paid through the noses to see the Wings in Chicago about five years ago. We spent way too much money, because we wanted to be down close to the ice. So what happens after spending all that money for "good" seats? We have a loud-mouth know-it-all in our ear all night long ripping Chelios. Not only that, there were the airfares. And to top it all off,the Wings lost. But the bottom line is, how was any of that their fault? I had no control over that loss in spite of all the money we spent. What I am willing to pay to see them play has absolutely no bearing on whether they will show me a good game. I can only hope they do because I know they have it in them. Oh yeah, I ***** and moan. But for instance with that game, even though I was really down for a couple of days, I did not go on any board and rip and tear, or call them names and blame them for my choices. How stupid, selfish and short-sighted would that be? Hell yes, I understand being upset with them. But the part that absolutely sickens me is the name-calling, the derogatory comments, the childish little hissy fits, blaming the Wings for our choices. And that includes what we choose to pay for tickets and the fact that we root for them at all.

This is exactly where it is, and always has been and always will be. We have absolutely no control - not only over what happens with the team, but also what happens on this board. We can only control ourselves and what we say and do. Mindfly, on the one hand I feel very bad for you, because I think your cup is almost empty. But I let you tick me off when you start putting down the Wings as if they owe you something. THEY OWE YOU JACK. They will play their game tomorrow night and I hope they win. But if they don't, I'm sure as hell not coming back on here to read posts like yours. Who the hell needs it? Sure as hell not me. In my mind, the Detroit Red Wings will remain the class act of the athletic world.

I'm pretty sure she's got a pain in the ass too. Or is one. Whichever.

Shane Doan - fried and/or fricaseeed.

I don't know if the Wings will win Or whether they'll take it on the chin. But to think they play for me, well that should be a sin, And never in my heart will they be has-beens. GO,WINGS. I LOVE YOU.

Ahhh. The year we won the Cup. So much for that fan's wisdom and perspective.

I never thought of this kind of bidness as a kind of artistry. But I do now. This is a techno-Rembrandt. Thank you.

I won't be around for most of the game, and it's killing me. So PLEASE keep it positive and creative on the board. Everybody's responsible for doing their part in my absence. Hope for the best! And if you're going to the game I had just better hear you yelling from Texas. Thank you!! GO, WINGS!!! GO, JUMPIN' JIMMEH!!!

Sure like these stats better than some you've put on here. Lookin' good, historically speaking!! Even if it is Sunday on NBC.

Heart, keep beating.

Let's hear it for the Ottawa Rough Riders!! :colorbounce:

Would you believe at least half the Versus crew agrees with you? And me?! The suspension can and should still happen.

Nope. Couldn't happen. Too insane. Too mind-boggling. It'd be too stupid on Nashville's part and the refs (the Hossa Thing), and too arrogant and non-karma-related for the Hawks. Nawwww.......

And I was just wondering why you only show up after another luck-sack win by the Chitown hoods. Naaawwwwwwwwwwww, you're not gloating.

DAMMIT! Hossa, that piece of iffy s***. :ranting: They did not deserve that win and OH, how I hope it comes back to bite them in the ass. Starting with Hossa being suspended.

And you sir, can f*** off right along with Quenneville. Thenk yew.

I'll laugh a lot harder if the Hawks lose because of their stupidity and their arrogance. The fans boo and Quenneville also poo pohed it. Up his, sideways and rotating.

There are a whole lot of Wings' fans who lose faith during a game. Check the posts on this very thread. I'm not sure why one is being singled out by you. And you are right about "whether or not you decide to lose hope when things get tense is entirely in your hands". Yes, it is. It's not in yours. Unless a poster gets derogatory or starts calling our boyz names, I ignore it. I mostly feel bad for those who give up so easily.

The guys on Versus used the word "patience". I think that was the key to the win. Our guys stayed in the game and waited till the Yotes got out of control in the third and they pounded on 'em, over and over. I LOVED it. And that is why we will win this series, kids. The Wings have the Yotes' number.

I had the same thought about him a couple of times tonight. He's thinking too much. But he surely did pick it up before it was all over. I think he's baaaack.

Yeupp. Just got home (saw the goal!), and found that we are not getting FSD here. Only Versus. s***. Then again, at least I'm able to watch the game.
