I want to think that'll be a great way to get into game-type condition. Sure, they're not as quick as the Wings, but that ain't all bad either.

The other thing here is that there are two #664 channels on Directv, so you'd think one of them could show the game in HD? Nada. The second channel is for Indiana Whatever, but nothing's listed. Like they have anything going on there, EVER.

Yeupp, and thanks. I'd forgotten all about that one. And it seems he's remained a class act in spite of huge obstacles.

Thanks, VanDer. There's always hope, eh?!

Congrats, Ram! You made it to "adulthood!" And the least the Wings could do is come up with a win for you!

^THIS^

:rotflmao: A grin I am wearin' , 'cause here comes Karen Her perspective and wit make us laugh. So here I'm declarin' we're grateful she's sharin' Her words cut our daft wrath by half! Thanks again, Karen.

Sharks just scored. 3-2. Go, finned fangers!

I'll be thrilled if they just beat each other UP.

I like the fact that they know better than to bring their moonshine in the arena, and hold barbequing till they get out of there. Seriously. I think Trotz is a helluva coach and seems like an all-around nice guy.

Wasn't it today that Lilja was going to meet with everybody? Probably too soon for news, but I sure hope it's good!

Naw, thanks. But lemme know where you're gonna meet up 'cause I'm gonna come beat the crap out of both of you with my purse. And it's gonna be loaded with pucks. You ready for dat, punks? HUH?! Remember...small but wiry always beats big and dumb. :deal:

Again, another funny and timely response. Yo, Doc. And yo, GMR. For what it's worth, I always read whatever both of you input on this board. Whether it's your neat, timely, and very droll senses of humor, or your zinging of somebody that I thought should get it too, I'm grateful and very appreciative of both your presences on this board. I don't always agree with either of you, but you sure as hell contribute to the sanity and perspective here. ...OK, most of the time. What I'm trying to say is that I hope you come to some amicable personal settlement between the two of yerselves. You're both very much needed here.

What I'm going to try to do personally is stay as neutral inside as I can. I love this team so much. Yes, it'll break my heart if they don't make it, either into the playoffs or beyond but there is no way to predict with any accuracy whatsoever what's going to happen. So I'm thinking whether my expectations are positive or negative, it will not help me OR them. If they do well, more power to 'em and I will bow down to the hockey gods. If they don't, I will be so very sad but I'll still be so very grateful for all the thrills and chills they gave me in the past. This is reality, friends. We just don't know. We cannot predict. We (I!) cannot change or control any part of what's going on with the Wings. But whatever happens they will always and forever be my team.

Of course there is. And too many posters are blaming Ozzie for this loss.

Nice calmed-down statement there, dude. Sad, but oh so true.

Then there's brewlevity. Telling a good joke while having a beer.

I thought I was losing it. Again. He did actually pass the puck from behind the net to RIGHT in front of it, right?

"LE INTERFERENCCCE!"' "L'OBSTACLES!!"

I dunno but I didn't see anybody within ten feet of the shooter. Then again, what else is new?

I say mostly s***ty defense.

Yeah, but neither did they!
