    There's a tiny spot reserved for people like you when you die...No - it's not hell...Your soul will suffer between the a$$ crack of a sweaty overweight Lebanese man who's got explosive diarrhea in which you get to enjoy the full experience every 15 minutes. Suffer well my friend.

    Now - for all the headbangers...IMHO nuthin beats the 'early' days of AC/DC with Bon Scott...As one music critic wrote 'Scott has the voice of 2 weasels mating'...God Bless them weasels.

    There's 'Irish' - as in Catholic Irish...Then there's 'Scots/Irish', or 'Ulster Scots' as in Protestant Irish. Many here in 'Murica think the Catholic Irish circa 1800s were the 1st 'Irish' to land on these shores...In fact it was the 'Scots/Irish' who came here in the 1700s...Many of our Founding Father's, and members of gov't have Scots/Irish ancestry. From Wiki...[Scotch-Irish or Scots-Irish may refer to: The Ulster Scots people, an ethnic group in Ulster, Ireland, who trace their roots to settlers from Scotland. Scotch-Irish Americans, descendants of Ulster Scots who first migrated to America in large numbers in the 18th and 19th centuries. Luv me some Shane McGowan...A proper Irish drunken c**t. Another bunch of Irish misfits - The Dubliners,,,(Guess which band hails from the area mentioned below gets a cookie)...
  6. Ah - the 90s...Great memories...
  7. The only thing I like that has any relation to 'Buffalo'... That said - how many goals is their ginger-afroed star gonna score on us tonight? 7-1

    U2 doesn't need to dress up like chicks'n'$hit - they have the talent that doesn't need to...Instead their material references to hardship, perseverance, and a better life.

    1 of these years they'll be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Violator is one of the best albums in music history.

    A team name that I can get behind
  14. Fans from Wisconsin get free craft beer night
  15. Well - there went Mantha's lofty contract extension.
  16. In English please...What is 'TPB'? EDIT - oh you mean 'Trailer Park Boys' -
  17. I don’t get it? IMHO we can end up dead last and still drop a few places in the draft...Just our $hitty luck is all
  18. It's been years since I can remember of being excited for a guy in GR to make his grand appearance in Detroit...That was Kronwall who won the Eddie Shore Award as the top defenceman in the AHL during the NHL lockout season 2004/2005. Since then...I don't know of any Red Wing prospect that's been 'tearing it up' at the AHL level.
  19. I guess this goes back to the notion - are the Wings 'sitting' on our young guys too long, and holding therm back from the NHL? Some nights I feel an AHL team can beat them...I flip over to another channel, and watch the Leafs/Bruins - there's a poop-ton of players who appear capable of playing at the NHL level (especially their respective 3rd/4th lines). Any idea who might be on Grand Master Ys radar?
  20. With it being a game vs game such as what we saw last night...Does that then come down to who's behind the bench? Are the guys out there in optimal conditions - as in are the lines appropriate - is there an approach in which the coaching staff has a vision that just isn't realistic? I got flak on HF Boards - complaining about Helm/Abby/Glendog a week ago - Blash like Babs seems to have this idea concerning how there needs to be an element on each line, and there seems to be some stuborness with how to go about things. We hear great things about Blashill - and I hate to rag on him when ya consider what he has to work with - but is there some truth to his coaching style, or how he goes about his business? This. Gonna jump in my time machine - when Bowman ran the ship (and Babs as well) - guys could make tape to tape passes, and looked like a legit NHL club. Today it looks as though these guys couldn't find their own a$$es$ with both hands...Many would say that this falls on coaching...
  21. To be honest - there's so many variables - hard to say. Coaching - some are better than others - look at what Berube accomplished last season. Players - drafted at 18 yrs of age - who knows what they'll be at 23 to 30? GMs - like coaching - some have a knack for finding talent - sometimes it's luck - sometimes they make dumb moves (Chiarelli) - sometimes they're sharp (Yzerman). For me it can be a crapshoot.
  22. Yeah...But...Disco Dan won the Cup...WTF has Blashill ever done??!!
