FYI.... the guys at the car dealership can get that out..... could be expensive, depending on what they have to take apart to do it, though.... Also, I suspect the change in location is due to the ring going through the innards of some fish or shark..... probably gulped up the shiny object and..... well, you can guess the rest all those miles away....

I especially liked this: .

It really is economic exile.... if Michigan was doing ok, we would still be there..... at least here we have a chance to pay our rent. It's not too bad, except for a real lack of respect for hockey..... and very few Little Caesars - living here really shows how weak a market the South is for hockey...... the BoG and Bettman had to be insane to think these are decent expansion markets.

Taking NHL games away from NBC is something I am all for....... Putting the games on ESPN takes the broadcast out of the locals hands...... I missed 2/3 of a playoff game against Calgary because of the Charlotte NBC local. They thought their weatherman needed that time on a loop, to advise people there was a storm..... I barely had a cloud in the sky over my house. And they considered hockey a sport they could pre-empt. In MIchigan, a tornado warning gets a beeper and a scroll......unless they have film of people dying. Here, a few tree limbs blow down, and the sky is falling...... as long as it's hockey that is on, not football or NASCAR.

While we are on the topic, kinda..... why is it that I can never find a website for Hockeytown Authentics? You would think with all the fans in other zip codes.... they would want to be available for sales.

De nada..... I am a Michigander in economic exile in the South

Yeah, that's it! Borg's Sports Stop. TONS of Wings stuff, and really cool original art. I fell in love with a charcoal of the Russian Five there one time........I''ll bet he would ship an 8X10 of that pic if somebody called him..... no hassle of on-line searching...... scratch that..... they are on-line...... http://www.borgssportstop.com/

I have that pic in 8X10, matted up to 14X20..... believe I picked it up at a sports store in Fenton..... can't recall the name, but alot of the card and memorabilia shops have books of pics..... that you can look through and buy the individual print for less than $10, used to be..... then you can mat and frame as you may like, as I did. That's how I got all my Stanley Cup pics, adn a couple of players with the Cup...... I have a Wings room..... I am not an obsessed fan, really!

And the ducks down one more DRW pain in the A$$

What if Leopold had no intention of selling the team at all? This could just have been a way to get the community and city to fork over some more cash..... make it look like they were gonna lose the team, while Leopold lines his pockets some more. I mean, come on..... as far as B of G goes, he's been Bettmans B**ch for forever...... Voting whichever way that GB tell hims to. I have a hard time believing that he is losing all that money he is crying about..... especially with the revenue sharing now..... and all the other cash streams from that team. Methinks he doth protest too much.

BTW..... Detroit is EST time zone..... all the others in your Midwest Division are CST

Why would the Wings not want them moved to Hamilton? or any other team there?
