Melrose made mention of it being questionable because Z "tripped" a Preds player before getting free. They even showed a close up of the "offense". Too bad without HD it just looked like a blob of nothing.

:octo: Let's go Red Wings

Just got back from the Rags/Devils game. My impressions: If either of these teams make it to the cup finals they will be swept by the West. The Rock is very nice. OK food. Souvenirs stands weren't the greatest. Surrounding area looks bad, but alot of the abandoned buildings have coming soon signs. New Jersey either has nobody that can make a good pass or receive a good pass. I'm not sure which one it is but they were downright awful at passing all night. Shanny is hilarious talking crap on the ice. Told him thanks for the Detroit years when he signed my Tigers hat after the game. Gave me a weird and not so friendly look. Good guy signed stuff for the longest of the Rags. I will never go to a rags/devils game again. Too much stupidity. At least ten fans that I could see were escorted or helped out by security. I am so glad we got rid of Avery. Causes way too many problems. Lost a bit of respect for Drury. He didn't do anything bad really except get a shocked look on his face when somebody hit him. Complained about it too. Gomez is the Devils Fedorov. I was behind and to the left of Broduer. He might have had a chance on Avery's goal but... his team isn't doing him any favors. Half the crowd tonight were Ranger fans and they kept drowning out the Devils fans. Disappointed in the razzing that was going back and forth. It either got ugly fast (security was busy) or it boiled down to 3 cups since '95 vs 4 cups since '26. Squashed that one with "put them together and your still behind Detroit" For some reason they stopped talking to me after that. Very much so. But don't forget Philly, The Isles, Boston, Washington, ah hell the away team's fans normally account for at least a third of the arena attendance. I kinda feel sorry for them, but hopefully moving to Newark will help with that. I shouldn't have been able to buy tickets three days before a game four rows off the glass straight from ticketmaster. Just doesn't seem right. Parise and Madden was livid and was still raising hell at the refs for a few minutes after the game. The devils coach broke a stick against the boards because he was pissed. Good reffing until the final 2 minutes or so. If I remember tomorrow I'll post some pics.

Could you imagine what would happen at the superbowl or any bowl game for that matter?

Smelrose called it a trip this morning on ESPN as well.

not before rumors to move them surface.

Football is a bad example because the TV deals take care of most of the leagues expenses. Marketing is the wrong word. Advertising is more appropriate. It's becoming more prevelent on TV as well. Should you be a TV watcher. Pay attention to your shows and how they slip that can of Coke or Pepsi in so as the star drinks you see the logo. Or the computer the star is using is shot so you can see that it's a dell or a mac. The NHL has just made it obvious and teams are profitting from it. I just wish the ads were a little bit smaller.

Because "playoff hockey tickets are still available for you're Detroit Red Wings. Come see Darren McCarty in his playoff hockey return!" Anyone have an arm or leg that I can make use of?

It is a shame that the local newspaper sports section can't find anything local sports wise to write about. Wings playoffs, Pistons end of season, tiger's beginning. Nope we have a story about a washington player.

McGuire AFB New Jersey. Downey is a name that needs to be on the cup in 08

Those annoy me a bit. Mainly because they're huge and there's four different ads.

Surprised? Man I hope game 2 of the devils series is a good one.

Yup the hockey history thing versus is doing looks interesting.

my humblest first entry used gimp photo software

It's ok. I often feel that nobody reads my posts. It was just confirmed again just poking fun btw

and the winner was?

Thanks. But I came home and downloaded. Works kinda funny about blocking sites and content. No blogs, youtube, social sites, and a bunch of others.

Son of a motherless goat. Site blocked at work. No new wall paper for me. yet

I know this is a tangent, but is the believe patch still in the rafters?

GWAR... nice. Need more slaughter-rama in the future rounds.
