Let's Go Red Wings!

Wow. He looks so hot in the Ricardo Montalban suit. Who would have known it was just his mug shot? As for the Kronner- are you sure that isn't photoshopped? He looked cute when he first started wearing glasses, but his choice in frames has not been good.

Um, Dan... do you have the original photo from which you took the Helm pic? He's just beautiful in that shot.

I am being derelict in my duties as the OP which, since Rabs disappears when she's SUPPOSED to be starting these threads, has become my sacred duty. Here's my threads after Round 1: Doesn't all that red look nice? Dawn- I like the beads. Denverwingsfan13- Have you tried crochet thread? It's a bit stronger. Or perhaps you could braid them like the younglings from Middle Earth do. I'm sure one of them could pop in and give you instructions. (Hint-hint, girls.) My problem is that some of mine are a bit longer than the others. Do you know how hard it was to get them to line up for a photo? It was like herding first graders. At least they haven't broken yet. In '09 I had a half dozen of my Sunday School kids crawling around under the first five pews searching for beads. We never did find that last F. And you know what happened in '09. Keep the photos, stories, and comments (inane and otherwise) coming! Best of wishes to our hirsute brethren. They should be itchy by now.

They're not always large, but they often are. If there's a small one, he usually has a large partner. A lot of it is intimidation. If a would-be evil-doer sees a smaller guy, he is more likely to think that he can take him, and therefore more likely to continue with his evil-doing. Larger guys also have the capacity to bulk up more and therefore be stronger due to their proportions. Smaller guys are just as capable of adding bulk and strength, but the larger guys can add more bulk due to their larger size to begin with. In the end, it is more the training that matters, but although size doesn't matter as the only factor, it can be helpful.

I always have trouble with the pop culture references. Thank you for choosing something that I am not too old to understand. This one is my winner.

I love you, Jack. ^^^That rocks.

Thanks for the article, Ogreslayer. Yeah. I think this Kronwall guy's kind of ok. I actually prefer that he keep the Kronwalling to a minimum during the regular season- just enough that opposing players remember what he can do- and then give it in the playoffs. I also think he should get the A once Drapes is gone.

Oh, ouch. Jenny, you are one brave girl! (You, too, Dawn!) I would sooner give birth to a unicorn than have someone doing that to my eyes if I was awake for it. If I was out cold, I could handle it, but that is just not my thing. Best of luck, dear. You've earned it.

I'm not a guy. You got the rest right, though.

Nice to see that the Red Wings have douchey fans like any other team. It makes us oh, so much more human. Do you kids not understand the concept of "sportsmanship"? It means not kicking someone when they're down. Sure, you can have an opinion against the Yotes, but that's what the other threads on the board are for. This is about winning with respect and dignity, which our team commanded throughout the series, and we are now extending to our erstwhile adversaries. Embarrassing that some kids nowadays have been taught no manners, dignity, grace, or class.

Good for you, Jenny! Hope it all works out for you.

I'm at $13. $4 for the wins, and goals from Pavel(2), Mule(2), Kronner, Homer(2), Danny, and Flip.

Why not the Winnipeg Coyotes? Number. First reaction when you saw that word: A numerical digit or having less feeling than something else?

Bracelets. 4 beautiful red ones. The person below me wonders what Valtteri Filppula will have to do to get people to spell his name right.

Vegetables ain't food. Vegetables is what food eats.

Nanny nanny poo poo. Thong strap or tramp stamp?

Nah. I've got another hour or so until bed time. The person below me had faith in the Wings going into the playoffs.

Nope. I've looked a bit drawn, but not drawn on. The person below me has made a sculpture out of a food item.

Perhaps your companion could wear black? It would kill the whiteout without besmirching the integrity of the Winged Wheel. Have fun at the game.

I knew a guy named Wormy once. It was a nickname. His real name was Paul.

Pffffffffffffffft. Yeah right. The person below knows how to edit stuff written in pencil.
