What an epic entertaining game.. Wow! I was jumping out of my seat.. cheering!! Amazing.. If that game doesn't win over some more hockey fans I don't know what will!

it's like how long can they tape delay this when the Canada/USA game is on at 4.... They are showing ice dancing for god sake.... shoot me. PLEASE?! I want my hockey!

I am seriously wonder where the HELL the game is on tv... because it's NOT ON my NBC...

You'll be happy to know I used all the russian you taught me tonight!

Pavel's interview was hilarious.. I feed him.... I do not remember.. I go forward... LOL

Absolutely awful planning NBC's part to not think of how these curling games can and will effect the Hockey games.. geesh!

And we've got Sweden hockey feed now!

Hey there RWNW! I wanted to see your availability for an event on Saturday, March 13th at 4pm for the Wings/Sabres game.

I'm excited Are you available - let me know!! I figured it was time to put an event together!!!

No worries If you ever make it out this way give us a holler! You're welcome to be an honorary Red Wings Nation West member!

This event is at my house #96... Are you in California?

Hey Red Wings Nation West! I just found out that the Red Wings have the ice from 1:30 to 3:00 pm at Toyota Sports Center (aka Health South) on Friday, February 5, 2010 The address and phone number: 555 North Nash St. El Segundo, CA 90245 ph. (310) 535-4510 Please be aware that they can cancel practices and they do it with barely any notice. Your best bet is to call and confirm they are practicing before you leave for the Sports Center. See you there! I just called and PRACTICE IS CONFIRMED See you all soon!

I'm departing now! See you all shortly!

RWNW If you want to join us we will be at the Wings bench at 12:30pm February 6th for the preskate!! Come on down, don't be shy!!! I think I'm going with the Winter Classic Jersey today since I got my Zetterberg jersey signed yesterday at the practice. - Rain and a signed jersey not such a good idea I am thinking a couple of us are going to hit ESPN Zone prior to the game at 11am (Yes, I'm aware this is completely short notice). It's pretty rainy out there so I had to choose the closest location to the Stapler. If you've got my phone number shoot me a text or give me a call. I'll be departing OC around 10am. Drive safely everyone!

Awesome Hooon definitely keep us in mind! I host game gatherings at my house too We've got an amazing group here as well.

Have fun!!! I'll be at the game!! Hooray for the hockey gods on that one!

Well after yesterday's practice (Jack Johnson was there watching the Wings practice the entire time too - just as he was in January) Babcock ran a much stricter more aggressive practice than I've seen in the past. I've been to a handful or so of them out here. Towards the end Bertuzzi was running a drill with Pavel - he was all over him and Pavel still made it out with the puck! It was awesome (pictures are available if you click the link in my signature). Babcock was ALL business yesterday. At any rate the hockey gods were very kind to me last night and at 10:35 I landed a ticket to go to this game. I can't wait!!

Thanks I was super excited. They are always so great. Zee actually walked right to me to sign - hand out to take my pen and everything. I was worried he'd say no. I took a lot because I like for everyone to feel like they got to go

Wow that was a blast! I'm working on uploading the videos I shot to you tube and I took nearly 500 photos. Zetterberg FINALLY signed my red Zee jersey. It was a blast as usual. I got there nearly an hour ahead of the practice time and the guys were already playing soccer on the roller hockey rink. When they started to go get changed I walked into the area where the office is and Jim Fox came out.. I can't stand him.. I smiled anyways. As I go down the flight of stairs all the wings are walking to the locker room between the two rinks. I don't know who it was but one of the guys said to Hank - Hey look there's your jersey... then a friendly face - Drapes walked by and I said hi Drapes and he smiled and asked how I was doing. Then they got ready to take the ice. Babcock ran a much stricter aggressive practice than he did last month. I got several videos of the drills and then the last one is a messing around one between Jay and Franzen. They were basically hitting the puck in the air and bouncing it on their sticks. During the practice center ice was nearly empty except for Lidstrom.. Lidstrom shot the puck right where I was standing and pointed at me.. it rocked! I thanked him after practice and he smiled and said you're welcome. I'm pretty sure he recognized me from the couple of times I've met him. At any rate - brad may came out after the practice and talked to a woman who was there with her two little boys. They were darling and Brad was so nice and sincere. He gave both the boys a stick and autographed it for them. You could really see how nice and genuine he was. He invited them back to meet some of his "teammates" and the youngest boy started to cry. I volunteered to go in his place After we stood at that draped off area for a bit and the equipment bags started making a larger and larger stack I ran upstairs, grabbed my sharpies from the car and headed out back (where the bus was waiting). I was super lucky - they only let two more people into the covered area before the roller rink exit to the bus. I wound up first in line. Zetterberg approached and I asked him to sign my jersey...and yes.. Mission ACCOMPLISHED! I'm so happy! I talked to Brett briefly, Nicky, Drapes came out and I asked to take a picture so he did.. I told him I loved him. He's so scrappy and he works so hard! At any rate... I'm working as FAST as I can to get this stuff uploaded for you all to see. It was awesome. I sat in traffic my entire way back home because it was pouring rain.. I don't think I went over 20 mph but I had a grin on my face and it didn't matter. Another red wing fan that was there had an umbrella and after Zee signed my jersey the guy walked me to my car - I took it off to protect it. I was like after three years of trying this bad boy is going to get framed! LOL They were all so nice. Babcock was all business. Ken Kal was there too and he talked to Rogie Vachon. I love these days.. they are awesome!!!! Pictures to follow!!!

I just called and confirmed that practice is still happening see you all in a few!!! Drive safely!
