Yeah and they both land haymakers knocking each other out cold.

Yeah i watched like 2 picks earlier(the 7th and 8th) and this was an hour ago. I couldnt bare watching anymore, cause it took so long.

So this is 9 days old, but after the Toledo Storm team ceased opperations to build a new arena ive been searching to find out what the new Toledo hockey franchise would be named. And they chose the "Toledo Walleye" initially i didnt like it but it makes sense. Although i dont care too much for the colors, Gold and 3 different shades of blue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toledo_Walleye http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic...-1%2FARCHIVES30 Also to note in the toledo blade article they actually considered "peckerheads" as a nickname. But i wonder if the Wings will continue an affiliation with the new Toledo team starting in 2009. I kind of hope so it was fun watching possible future Red Wings. btw i searched the forum and couldnt find anything on here about this. Hope its not a duplicate thread.

Thats what i didnt understand either.

finally, if we can just pull this one out!

That is absolutely awful. I understand that the chances of that happening again is remote, but the NHL seriously needs to look at some of their rules and change them. No team should be penalized like that when its obvious played should have been stopped. Also they just showed that replay and the ******* ref was gonna blow the whistle and didnt!

I said the same thing when i read thats the new nickname. But it does make sense. I just wish they picked better colors, not a fan of gold and 3 different shades of blue. I guess ill wait to see an actual uniform before i decide if the colors are bad or not. I too am glad hockey will be back in Toledo, i cant wait.

I dunno. I always thought the Red Wings and city of Toledo had a good relationship. Who knows though? But with the new colors maybe Toledo plans to go in another direction with an affiliate or not one at all. Im too young too know, but were the Toledo Goaldiggers, Toledo Blades, etc farm teams of the Red Wings back in the day?

Ive been to so many Storm games i couldnt tell you the first one i went too. All for the most part were a great time though. If you were a fan of fights it was the place to go, especially if they played Dayton.

Flint isnt in the ECHL. The new Toledo franchise will be back in the ECHL though

Some of you guys on here are absolutely amazing. I mean seriously we make one move(a good move imo) and the sky is fallin? Gimme a flippin break. We got a much needed defensemen WITHOUT giving up a young player. And dont forget we did sign DMac, thats like making a trade in itself again WITHOUT giving up a young player. We can win the cup with this team. Yes we hit a rough patch the last few weeks. But that s*** happens in the game of hockey, what did you expect us to stay on that win pace and stay healthy the rest of the season? I look at it this way. The guys who are injured now will be healthy AND rested for a playoff run. Our team will be just fine and i dont know about the rest of you but im excited to watch the rest of the season unfold. and stanley cup or not im a Red Wings fan for life. Also someone mentioned how we arent a deep team? How so? Look at ALL the injuries we have right now. Its like 1/3 of our roster, and its big name/key players. Not many teams if any at all can replace 1/3 of their roster and still play to the same level.

Ill give this a shot, here's my top sports movies... 1) Remember the Titans- I absolutely love this movie and ive seen it probably 30+ times, atleast. "YOU'RE KILLIN' ME PETEY!!!" 2) Caddy Shack 3) Rudy 4) Bull Durham 5) Slap Shot - How could you not love this movie with all their one liners, and quotes? ***Reggie Dunlop: You cheap sonofabitch. Those guys are retards. McGrath: I got a good deal on those boys. Scout said they showed a lot of promise. Reggie Dunlop: They brought their f***in' TOYS with 'em. McGrath: Id rather have em playin with their toys than playin with themselves Reggie Dunlop: They're too dumb to play with themselves. Boy, every piece of garbage that comes into the league you gotta buy it McGrath: Reg, Reg, that reminds me. I was coachin' in Omaha in 1948 and Eddie Shore sends me this guy who was a terrible masturbator. He would get deliberate penalties so he could get over in the penalty box all by himself and damned if he wouldn't...*** 6) Bad News Bears(Original, however the remake i thought was hilarious Billy Bob had some funny one liners). 7) Miracle - Based on probably the greatest upset in not only hockey history but sports history. 8) Friday Night Lights - Based on a true story, and i love high school football 9) Major League 10) A Leadgue Of Their Own - Im suprised nobody mentioned this. notables - rocky, invincible, tin cup,

Cool thanks. Anyone else? If anyone needs players in their league(s) im in to join if you join mine. I still need anywhere from 4-8 teams.

Ran across this article on toledoblade.com http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a...ORTS07/70416001 but the Toledo Storm will no longer be in Toledo after this season. Probably played their last game Saturday night, because they are not playing well in the playoffs at all. so i dont expect to see them back. however hockey will be back in Toledo in 2009. So 2 seasons without hockey, not sure how imma feel about that. Not sure if it'll drive fans away or what. Im a hockey fan at heart so i know whatever team comes in, ill be a fan of. Its just hard to see the Storm go after all these years.

I wonder if Pyluipuik(The ex Toledo Storm GM) is behind this. I remember him saying that he would try his hardest to get a new team in Toledo, so we have hockey here next season. I didnt think they'd build an entire new stadium, but that could be kinda cool. But i dont think there is any way the city of Toledo(area) could hold 2 teams.

Hmm, i havent heard that and i live in Toledo. Plus there is a new stadium being built IN downtown Toledo starting later this year. They are demolishing the area that the arena will be built on next month. So i dont see any new stadiums being built in or around the Toledo area any time in the near future. Unless this "someone" meant the new stadium in Toledo. Then i could see the new Toledo hockey team being in the "new" IHL. That would be kinda neat. I loved the ECHL but it got kinda boring in the last few years the Storm were around.

Exactly the "new NHL" was supposed to help out the skill players, but all i see so far is it handicapping them. Call it one way or the other, all we ask for is some damn consistency. I missed Lilja's roughing penalty, but the announcers did say it was cheap.

Anyone else notice all the obstruction the Ducks were getting away with, especially on Pavel? Every time Dats dumped the puck in he was basically being checked and forced to fight his way around the Duck D to get to the puck. I was getting so pissed. Im sure we got away with some as well, but man i noticed a ton on the ducks not being called.

And the nhl wonders why they cant get any ratings. its beyond stupid to show these games on channels most people dont get. now my cable offers VS, but why should i shell out the extra $$$(of which i dont really have) just for a station im only gonna watch during the hockey season. its stupid marketing on the nhl's part. the nhl should be trying to attract the middle class viewers, the people who may not be able to shed out that extra cash to get VS, or TSN. Just go back to the way it used to be, find a new tv deal on a national tv station.

This may be a stupid question, but i read over on another board that the Wings considered moving to Nashville some years back apparently. Is this true? Cause ive been following the Wings for god knows how many years now and i never once heard this. For whatever its worth i did read this over on a Braves message board, so that could be why lol. But when i did read it i was kinda baffled.

No im not. I was just curious if maybe i did miss something. Oh well i thought it might bring interesing talk to the board while we wait for the WCF to start. GO WINGS!
