Enjoy. Hopefully it will be Some Enchanted Evening for all of us.

Typo?

Eureka! I think you've just explained why Preds fans don't have a problem with this!

Is there a limit on the Black Aces? There's some fightin' boys down in GR. Just sayin'.

Look what Steve just posted in the 600 posts thread! Brilliant.

Yeah. No idea what happened to the U, N and T

At first glance, I scoffed and said, "yeah, and his brother is a goalie, put him in there too." But then I read and I find your logic and reasoning to be good. If I weren't out of plusses, I'd plus you. I wouldn't use that setup during the playoffs, but given that this is the post-season and everyone is playing (or should be playing) a new game, I say "bring it!"

I have an addendum, but considering the events in New Orleans, I'll keep it to myself until after the fact (if it occurs at all).

Wait... What?

Side note to Shea Weber: It's Friday the 13th. You might want to avoid anything associated with the number 13. Just sayin'.

Wouldn't the signing of Weber and the signing of a goon be the same thing? Granted, a goon is usually a 4th line forward, but if we can get Weber, it's like a bonus goon. Just to be clear, I don't want Weber aka "He Who Concussed the Mighty Lilja", but if we do sign him, I'll accept him as a Wing and probably grow to like him. (See also: Chris Chelios) In that case, keep Eaves. Cleary isn't going anywhere due to his contract. Let him have his surgery and get back to 100%. Let Emmerton walk. Miller worked well with Abby and Helm this year. Since we no longer need a goon on the 4th line with Weber, I think we can put Miller on the 4th line. Flip has been showing chemistry with Z this season, but he's shown it with Pavel in the past as well. I'd leave the top 6 open to see how Parise (yes, please!) gels with Pavel and Hank, and then put Flip with the other one. I don't think we'll be getting Parise and Weber both. I'd actually be surprised if we got either one. Still, it's fun to speculate. Oh yes... :beerbuddy:

Weber said he was glad Zetterberg wasn't hurt. Ryan Suter, Weber's partner, said he saw the incident on TV and "I didn't think he'd be in that much trouble -- I didn't think it was that bad." Seriously?

Dear Mr. Holland. Here are 14 easy steps to making everything ok. 1) Find the player with the most reddish hair. 2) Grow him a full beard by noon. 3) Make sure he's somehow interviewed by lots of members of the media. 4) Laugh and say that Draper was also said to look like Chuck Norris. 5) Keep the player away from the media after the warmup skate. 6) Make sure that, as a Red Wings employee, no one questions that Kris Draper went into the locker room. 7) Laugh as you acknowledge that Kris Draper is looking more like Chuck Norris than ever. 8) Watch in amazement as the player mentioned in Step One completely destroys Shea Weber as soon after the puck drop as possible. 9) Make sure that the camera doesn't get too good of a shot of the player mentioned in Step One as he goes to the locker room after begin kicked out of the game. 10) Win the game. 11) Allow the player mentioned in Step One to face the media after the game, noting that he has shaved his playoff beard in protest which is why he no longer looks like Chuck Norris. 12) Do not allow Kris Draper to address the media. In fact, just for good measure, have him get an emergency phone call during the first intermission and have to leave the locker room. 13) Feign ignorance when the media notices that Chuck Norris is a Wings fan, but oddly enough didn't find his seat until the second period. 14) Cover the cost of Chuck Norris' seat from Illitch Petty Cash fund.

OCTO CURSE REVERSE Jinx undone. Carry on with the positive vibes.

Then we'll get rid of those pesky rules here and make hurt feelings fair game. Then people will tell you what they think with much less tact, intelligence, and grace than Gabe used in Post #2 of this thread.

Nylons. My legs are old and ugly. Ramen or pasta?

10 shoes or 10 pairs? Yes, it makes a difference. The person below me needs to grease a squeaky wheel.

Not my original work, but... Do you know what he could do for $2500?

We'll compromise. He'll be in the lineup, but only for about 3 minutes. Deal?

Bad picture of Luc. I prefer this one: I can imagine where speaking French is a huge asset, but really, they have these things called translators.

You know Weber has super-human strength. He's the one who concussed the Mighty Lilja.
