    9/26 Exhibition GDT : Boston Bruins at Red Wings, 7:00 EST

    NHL.com doesn't list any tv for either team. Apparently the return of Cleary is not a newsworthy event. Very few games have tv listed for tonight, not even the games being played in Halifax and Saskatoon. You'd think the Canadian channels would televise those, but no... Can't wait for regular season. Go Wings. EDIT: Also just confirmed that the Bruins Radio Network will not be carrying the game. Guess we're screwed.

    Kane case headed to grand jury

    Wasn't even the model herself. It was someone who got the pics. Back to Kane, I doubt he'll never pick up another girl again. He may want to keep meetings public until he actually gets to know her. In my day, that was called "dating". I doubt he'll do that. I actually hope this thing goes to jury just so that the evidence will be at the forefront of discussion rather than the whole "he said, she said" thing with people injecting personal bias into it. I was impressed with that DA. At least the people looking at the evidence are not looking for a dog and pony show or publicity.
  3. I listen to Pink Floyd when trying to retain my grasp on my sanity. Only certain songs, of course. Some Floyd songs are counterproductive to that effort. The funny part is that I had a mouse in the house and he liked Floyd too. I used this against him by luring him out and setting the trap near where I knew he would go. He has been relocated to Minnesota now.

    This or That

    If it's of no concern, cut them off. If it is an issue that has an effect on others, confront them. Talk to the machine that answers the phone at the bank (especially when you don't know your account number) or get asked for your phone number at the checkout line of a store where you popped in to get one thing?
  5. I can't stand egg salad, which is weird because I love deviled eggs, which are essentially egg salad on the half-shell minus the bread.
  6. Half over. Let's see if the new goalies make a difference. Probably not, but it's something to wonder about.
  7. Oh, that's interesting. There will be overtime after the game no matter the score so they can try out the 3 on 3 thing.
  8. I hope Mantha makes the team. The autocorrects will be hilarious.
  9. I have a very small, blurry pic that keeps freezing, but I saw a single-digit number and heard the name Nick. My heart leaped with joy and then I realized that it was only Jensen.
  10. Aw, they score. Isn't it nice that it's pre-season and we don't have to care quite as much?

    Official Detroit Lions thread

    I prefer to think of us as being "tied for third". If Stafford isn't at 100% I'd rather they send in Orlovsky. Maybe the offensive line might protect him since he's not Stafford the Invincible.

    Gonzo. One of my friends recently told me that I remind her of Gonzo except for the nose. I'm glad she added that last part. Make a list of things to do or just do them as you think of them?

    Model Tries to Blackmail Jagr

    Jagr is single; Kronwall is not. Right there that sinks it. Jagr is about as high on my "babe list" as Kronwall. Kronwall is my hero because he's a Wing and he knocks people violently off their feet. Plus I still wouldn't take a selfie. I don't have a wide-angle lens.

    Model Tries to Blackmail Jagr

    Wonder how much he'd have paid out if it was an ugly chick. (Mental note to self: Meet Jagr, seduce him, wait for him to fall asleep, take selfie... whoa, wait. I have standards. I do not take selfies. Never mind.)

    Zidlicky finds new home with Islanders

    Good. I always liked him and was glad when we got him. He's not a star by any stretch of the imagination, but he always seemed like a decent enough guy. All the best to him.
  17. Guys can ask for a PTO even if they know there's no way they're making the team there. Given the media coverage of Chicago and Toronto, those are the places to go in the hockey world if you want to get noticed by another team and possibly get a contract there. This isn't the worst group that ever was. We just don't need them.

    Kane case headed to grand jury

    I see where you're coming from. Rape is nasty business. However, if he is suspended before it goes to a grand jury, that also opens a door for false claims. Imagine if someone had thought that the Wings were going to beat Tampa last spring so a Tampa fangirl claimed that Tatar or Gus or one of our players had raped her knowing that they'd be immediately suspended. It wouldn't have to be a fan. If someone had a large wager or even if there was a gambling organization that wanted to drop the odds, all they would have to do would be to find a girl to make the claim, even if it would fall apart later. If he's guilty, the team and/or league can ban him for life and be making a statement. If he's innocent, there is no reason that he should have to suffer for something he hasn't done. (We'll find other reasons to hate him.) The only ones who can be judge and jury are the judge and jury.

    Kane case headed to grand jury

    As much as I'd like to see him suffer if proven guilty, he hasn't been yet. It's inconsistent with the Voynov case, but in the Voynov case, it was more likely that he'd be charged and found guilty simply due to evidence and police witness. Kane's case is still open. It may not even get to the grand jury. If it doesn't, he is a free man and will need that camp to play hockey for your team. I can see Chicago's point in having him at camp. They need to prepare for the future, whichever way it unfolds.

    My family gave up on me once I hit 40. The joys of being old.

    The person below me game...

    Never heard of it. I pretty much just watch sports and old stuff. The person below me eats peanut butter from the jar on those occasions where you want a little something, but aren't really hungry.
