IIRC, it used to be the way it is now, but then they changed it. Then they changed it back since the C and A didn't fit on the new style uniforms because of the tailfeathers (for lack of better term) on the Wheel. Hope that helps.

The OP makes a valid point. If I might ask you to cast your minds back to last season when Hasek flipped Gaborik, thus expanding the use of the Wild player's name to include usage as a verb (ie: "he Gaboriked him"), I would query as to how many would find that as amusing had it been JS Giguere flipping Datsyuk. Classy fans that we are, we ascertained Marian's well-being before declaring that the move was "the s***" or other current nomenclature. I believe I said it was "groovy". Certainly Hasek meant no harm, but the potential for injury was there. That's hockey, eh. Contrast this to the occasion when Lapierre injured our beloved captain with what was argued to be a clean hit. Downey made sure that the message was sent that liberties with our star players would be met with swift and sure justice. The Avs called it "classless". We lauded him as the second coming of Probert. Had Boogaard come out and cast his fists of fury upon Hasek, we would have been up in arms, whereas the Wild fans would have been head-over-heels (having had a visual example) in love with their saviour. We would have decried Boogaard's actions as classless. We need look no farther than the Wings/Avs battle of yore. The Avs radio stations played recordings of a baby crying claiming it was Draper, who was "whining" about his "boo-boo". When Mac stepped forth to avenge his friend, we cheered our champion. The Avs fans thought the "attack" was classless and brutal. They also thought that Draper was a ninny for not having fought his own battles. Malkin is a goon for attacking Zetterberg. Lilja is a hero for taking exception to <insert name here and please accept my apologies for gapping> and ends up being the victim of a concussion which ends his season. It's all perspective. What is heroic to one is goonery to another. Is this wrong? I don't believe so. I think that this is exactly as it should be. We cheer for our team; they cheer for theirs. We are homers. It is part of sports to support your team. There is, of course, a limit. I don't think any of us would condone a Prongeresque elbow to the head if it was attached to the arm of a Wing. We would certainly not accept that it was physics that made the player incapable of controlling his own appendage. It's not like it's new equipment. He's had those elbows for quite some time now; he ought to be used to them. I agree with the OP. We are all homers to some extent. I don't see a problem with this. We're fans. Go Wings! Get all gritty and kick the crap out of those classless goons who try to kick the crap out of you!

Strings. alfredo or marinara?

Several times. But this time I really mean it. I don't even root for the Habs. The person below me cleans up after themselves in a public rest room if they make a disgusting mess.

Good one

I saw that. I didn't expect him to be cheering (he's supposed to be neutral <snort> ) He looked like he had been dragged to his boss's daughter's ballet recital. Only problem with that analogy is that Mario is not his boss.

Clearilppuwallskibergsgoodtastic! (I made that up.) Edit because I misspelled it.

it (as in that's IT! That's what we've been waiting all season to see- DRW hockey!)

I'm laughing now. Trade Nik? No way!

I've read a lot of funny things today, but that takes the cake. Lids is about as humble and clean as they come. Not saying he's perfect, but...oh, who am I kidding- he's Mr. Perfect.

Chinese. Daniel or Henrik?

For once in my life; no. I just need to get a job to fit that for which I've studied. The person below me has accidently wiped after using BenGay.

Yes, but due to the fact that many of my ancestors were illiterate, there are very few records and no telling what kind. Family legend has it that we're related to Pocohantas, but that may be fluff. The person below me has worn a garter belt. (I've never worn a garter belt or a belt sander.)

Ooh, I'd go with Stevie, but that's a tough one. Elephants or giraffes?

Muffin. Blueberry, or mom's homemade bran. Tetris or Pacman?

Oh, crap. Thanks for reminding me! I gotta go throw a load in. The person below me has a belt sander.

More of a "low five" if you ask me. Possibly a veiled "high one".

I had exactly the same thought. Raffy must be resting and Cheli is holding his spot in practice. I won't worry until game time.

The best line name I recall was The Mattress Line. Two Twins (Sedins) and a King.

Fixed it for ya.

I got a digital for Christmas. I had just bought a disposable one, but I sold it yesterday in the garage sale. The person below me likes to organize things at work, but can't keep their own stuff organized.

Whoppers. Implants or push-up bra?

I have enough troubles just catching one. The person below me has recently spent too much time in the sun.

What? No Pain Train? Cool list. I've heard St. Nick, but usually only in mid-winter.

Hmm. Hossa will come out of his hibernation sickness? Hudler will score a goal with a slingshot like a good Ewok? Ozzie will use the Force to clear pucks away from the net? Sounds good to me. Yubnub, eee chop yubnub; ah toe meet toe peechee keene g'noop dock fling oh ah.
