The next interesting snippet on the docket is gonna be what Mickey (and Ken?) say about Mick's statements last night. Will he backtrack? Will he (they) ignore it? You can bet one way or another the Wings' PR proclaimers are hard at work. :deal:

You're obviously a fan of hockey as well as being a Kings' fan. You're welcome here any time. You got class, bubba!

If so I had no idea that it was important that Kronwall had gone without having any headaches at all for more than a week. Mickey also said that. He was most definitely talking about Lilja. If he'd mispoken, wouldn't Ken have corrected him? EDIT: Crap. Just read the Holland statement. I'm hoping that some of you are right and that Holland just doesn't want to spring it yet. Meanwhile, ....

OK, it worked last time when I said the Coyotes were behind after two periods. Seems the Hawks are behind 3-0 toward the end of the first. Please, hockey gods - let it be. There's gotta be some good news tonight.

I wish it were that obvious. When he gains more consistency, I might think about agreeing with you.

Problem is, that C would probably go to one of the guys who're rehabbing. Like Lilja.

I had the very same thought. And it is very scary. And depressing.

What YOU said.

I don't think it was, damn it. Also, it looked like Datsyuk prodded it in with his skate. The net came off about a millisecond before the goal went in anyway.

It also seems like the wrong lines were out there when his line was. NOT helpful. NOT smart.

Maybe, but I read on this board that he is really quite bright and teaches at the college level. Thank god looks aren't everything, right? Unless YOU happen to look like George Clooney. Then again, he'd never bother making comments like that.

I saw it too and wondered what the Wings were all looking at.

At this point, do we give a damn? Mebee tomorrow....

In other news...Caps are leading the Coyotes 3-1 after two periods.

And again, the ref from center ice decides he must call that.

OH MY GAWD!! LILJA MIGHT BE BACK NEXT WEEK TOO??!! The hockey gods just might be nodding our way again, kids. Even if none of the guys coming back are gonna be immediately up to the task, it's still GREAT news!!!!!

Maybe somebody will comment on this later (I hit the board again when each period ends), but we lucked out on that call - if you mean the one where our guy looked like he got taken down at the boards by Simmonds (sp?). It's a nice change though, I'll tell ya that!

I.E., "that commercial" - it is by far one of the dumbest series of commercials out there. Who would give a crap about either the male or female in that ad specifically? There's another one where just the guy is a total idiot. If they're that stupid where's the redeemable social value? I ask you! Naw, it's ok. You already answered! They will run for at least 13 weeks and ultimately, they'll pay millions for them, between residuals and paying networks to show them. Talk about the "dumbing down" of television.... :nonono: OK, OT rant over.

Actually, I read somewhere that that actually was the name of it. You're amazing, Stuck in Socal!

I got goosebumps from watching this video, H.R. THANK YOU! And what fan of any team could ever get enough of the behind-the-scenes stuff anyway?!

Haven't seen that video (but I will). What your comment reminds me of is in 2008 when the Avs came out of that uuuugly, paper mache type...um...cave opening? I never saw anything on ice that stoopid except maybe for Lemieux. UnbelIEVably tacky!

You can DO this, guys, I KNOW you can! Go, Jumpin' Jimmeh! Go, Deeetroit!!!

Am I reading the standings correctly? We now have 58 points in 8th place; the Avs are in third with 62 points. Furthermore, I believe the Kings, Predators, Canucks and Coyotes are beatable. And in spite of the Woe is the Wings crowd. I think things look promising because our boyz are playing better and more aggressively. There. I laid it out there, and I'm glad, did you hear me, GLAD!!

Me too, me too!

Thanks, HHDI, for putting this on here.
