Are you currently dating Mark Mowers by any chance?

Now the glass and boards at the JLA can sleep easy knowing that Sammy won't be around to hurt them anymore.

Well, he does have a higher playoff PPG than your boy Hossa. Also, tell Manny Legace's father in law that we're still waiting for the hanging.

What did Manny Legace's father in law tell you about Lilja's toughness?

Although Crosby is more hated, I don't think Rangers fans ever thought they'd see Jagr or Lindros in a Rangers jersey. Or for that matter, Jagr in a Flyers jersey.

Each time he scores a hat trick, free "Tatar" tots for everyone at the JLA.

With a roster that's nowhere near the league's best, no less. That's totally on the GM for letting a mediocre team be up against the cap.

In my early college days, I always wanted an Yzerman jersey, but they don't sell them here in turkey country. I did see one at the HHOF, but it was way too large. These were the days before amazon and ebay were ultra popular.

What if the Wings signed Dick Tarnstrom?

Based off recent injury history and the lack of off-season improvements, I also see us barely getting into the playoffs and being lucky to win one round. If we can stay injury free or middle of the pack in injuries, then I can see us finishing 4th or 5th. I'm excited to see the Wings play again, but not as much as I've been in the past. Kenny Holland is succeeding in making this team almost unwatchable. Don't score, don't fight, don't make off-season acquisitions to excite fans with seeing new players, etc. Last year was especially brutal to watch. I thought about my prediction above and posted it. With that said.......

He's going to demand Kyle Quincey money.

****'s is not a curse word filter on here is it? Holy crap, it is. Feels like I'm in the 6th grade.

I figured there's not enough Dan Cleary threads around, so we should have another one Quite simply, what was your favorite Dan Cleary moment or play? For me, there's always been one answer, and it is the penalty shot goal he scored on Kiprusoff in game 5 of the 2007 WCQF. If you remember, the Wings had choked in the playoffs the previous three seasons, as a higher seed playing against a lesser seed. The season before, we had been embarrassed by an 8 seeded Edmonton team. Once again, in 2007, the Wings were the top seed heading into the postseason. We beat Calgary the first two games at home, but they tied it at 2-2 in Calgary. Coming back home, everyone thought the Wings were on their way to another choke against an 8 seed. There was a lot of tension and panic around (and I wasn't even on LGW then). The game was 0-0 in the 2nd period, until Cleary got a penalty shot. This is what happened next. We went on to win that game comfortably and the next game in double OT, and went to the WCF. It's technically not the biggest goal he scored for the Wings (the one against Anaheim was), but the Wings needed that goal, because we might have been facing another choke job in the first round and a possible dismantling of the team. It was also a great move against a top goalie. What's your favorite Cleary play?

Well, he does provide a comic element. This team lacks offensive talent and has no toughness. Hard to find anything else to be positive about besides the village idiot.

You really think we would have won that game in OT? We couldn't beat Anaheim in OT to save our lives during those playoff series in 2003, 2007 and 2009. Especially against Giguere. It was our destiny to lose.

I'm betting most Wings fans could never envision Chelios playing for the Wings either.

It's really hard to top the Kevin Porter signing. All the ones we've made since then have been underwhelming.

I'd rather we brought in the guy that can trade a s***bag like Kyle Quincey for a first round pick............................................oh wait, we let that guy go to TB.

I thought you were a Montreal slappy because of your French. PS. I wonder how many players on the Korean hockey team are named Park or Kim?

I honestly never knew that he worked for the Wings. Shows you how much I care about GR. I just knew him as a jobber that won the Cup with the Pens in 1992, and was one of the few Koreans in NHL history.

We're so bad, that people would rather go to North Korea than work with the Wings. I've already registered with letsgopanthers.com

How about "The Kicking Tires Arena"

Yeah. Maybe not in his earlier days when he had different gimmicks. I'm confused, though. Is this Dekeyser's nickname, because I've never heard it until now. I thought his nickname should be "Der Kaiser", like Beckenbauer.

Am I missing something here?

This is probably the last trivia I'll do. It's also my favorite one I've done so far. Basically, you have to name each team's all time leader in goals, assists, goalie wins and penalty minutes. I thought this would be the hardest test, but I did really good. Got 114/120 right. Some of the ones were impossible. I typed in the name of every goon, enforcer, thug and criminal I could think of, and still couldn't come up with the Rangers all time PIMS leader. Blues' leader in goalie wins was a tough one also. Anyway, enjoy. Hint: If you're having a tough time with the PIMS one, just think of power forwards of the 90's. That one worked pretty well for at least three of the teams on there. https://www.sporcle.com/games/Ben/nhl_team_leaders
