Awesome fan spirit there!
I understand that the building is not what it used to be .. but damn.... to never go to a game because of it!!

yeah... but the real question is if you'd show her yours.

A lot of him must have been at that recent visit.

Sorry guys, my laptop is down for the count so i couldn't post the link and actual quote. Doing this via my phone.

so you think the centers and defensemen will be the ones scoring for Detroit?

here you go:

Extra points if someone snaps and posts a picture!

Simple solution.
Fake his death, change his identity, and pretend we found him playing goalie in an alley somewhere.
Some simple reconstructive surgery on his face may be necessary too.

Do you need a ***** slap?

I'm in. I am at work right now, and my break is nearly over so I cant do it right now, but I will be able to later on tonight (going to a local hockey game tonight haha).

I knew a guy who knew a guy who had his hand cut off and they sewed it back on. He was a great hockey player and now he has to shoot with the other hand. He really sucks now.
It doesn't look good for Mo. The experts say that it will be AT LEAST 2 months but I think that it will be UPTO 6 years before he can play hockey again...
just sayin....

Was meant to be a joke...
A funny...
Ha ha...

I've been casually viewing this site for awhile but until today I never felt the need to share my opinion. Today, however, was different. My brother was diagnosed with leukemia while playing junior hockey in Saskatchewan earlier this year and he had a bone marrow transplant a couple months ago in Calgary (he's had to live there for the last several months due to the lack of facilities in Sask.). We have been die-hard Red Wings fans since we were really young and it's been a dream of ours to someday watch a game at the Joe but today he experienced the next best thing. Mike Babcock gave him a call this morning and invited him to the Wings practice in Calgary and invited him to meet all of the Wings. Every single Red Wing took the time to not only introduce themselves but genuinely get to know him. He was encouraged by Dats and Zets to stick around for practice prep and to come back after practice for some autographs. Ken Holland offered him tickets for tomorrow's game and Babs invited him back tomorrow to once again hang out with the Wings after their morning skate. For a kid who's been through a lot in recent months, he was on cloud nine today. The Wings have always been my favorite team but today they turned it up a notch. I was absolutely blown away by everything today and I think it's safe to say we all cheer for one of the classiest organizations in the NHL .

The New York Yankees are the Detroit Red Wings of baseball.

The red wings are old and there bying there cups and they don't have any cute guys like justin beeber and there always winning so they never had to battle thru diversity and there all from places across the ocean like sweeden and finnland and canada so they don't speak any american and they suck and i'm a riter cuz i'm on the internet.

You talkin' about practice?!

In other news, pot calls kettle black.

As I scan the threads started in the last two games I see the following topics, "Osgood and Draper... turn the page", Lidstrom Final Year, with such replies as how slow he is, how he turns over the puck, how his offense is terrible. There's also "We need a goalie...Osgood is done, and my personal favorite and probably the most laughable, "Is Zetterberg on the decline?"
Yes I know that everyone is entitled to their opinion, and yes last night was an abysmal outing by our winged warriors, Osgood let in four goals on 11 shots and yes he seems to be a step slower but two were not what I would call "bad" goals to give up. The Wings were giving up odd man rushes and we couldn't sustain any offensive pressure. It appears we have been hit with the injury bug again Abbey, Rafalski, Franzen, and now Cleary are all out.
The part that I don't understand is the first half of this season, (yes two games ago) this team was playing so well that everyone thought the cup was on its way back. I know a lot can happen in half a season, (two more games) but it seems to me that the fall from grace was fast and hard.
These are the same Detroit Red Wings that have the longest playoff streak in pro-sports history, these are the Red Wings whose idea of a terrible season is a first round exit, they have the same coach that was "the best in the NHL" a week ago, they have the same 40yr old graying leader that the city and press alike were begging to return. We have the same two forwards ESPN and Sporting News rated in the top 15 league wide. As for our goaltending, we have an aging backup who was praised for his first start this year, hell the idea of a 50/50 split was even being tossed around, and a rookie starter whom was a Calder runner up last year and has already posted a convincing shutout this season. Come on people the Lions would kill for this measuring stick.
Now this is not to say that there aren't things to criticize about the team thus far, but the Red Wings have proven season in and season out that they know how to win, they always find a way to generate some kind of success...I understand why the press prints these headlines, it's polarizing and sells newspapers, I just don't get it from the fans.
This team deserves the benefit of the doubt.

What a game last night. I am quite pleased. Who is with me?

I disagree, but am not elaborating

Not just cute...cutest kid ever. He sucked in his arms, obviously he is incognito, and alien stitch costume wasn't as cute.

Cant wait to see the happens to Hossa and Luongo now
First in a epic thread woot

Over the past few weeks i have read countless articles suggesting the wings should retire a few numbers. To me having your number retired by a franchise such as the detroit red wings should be reserved for the best of the best. How do you know for sure if a number should be retired? When there is no debate about it, if u need to debate about whether the player should have their number retired, then they shouldnt, the feeling should be unanimous. not to say the players being suggested arnt great players, but they arnt to be put in the same catagory as howe, yzerman, and the rest of the retired numbers. to me there is only one person at this point in time that deserves to have their number retired, Lidstrom. And he will have his number retired without a doubt, and no one is going to argue about whether he should have his number retired or not because everyone know he should and he is one of the all time red wing greats.
IF THERE IS ANY DEBATE THEIR NUMBER SHOULDNT BE RETIRED THEN IT SHOULDNT, otherwise it makes it less special.
PS if ur thinking about debating whether lidstrom should have his number retired....... just shut the f*** up

Fine by me.
The guy scored 50 goals in junior.

rhetorical question
