Good stuff here http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=597287&page=5

Sigh. Well, I guess get Phoenix to take a penalty and we will be tied again...

Mastadonic!

Versus said that was the first time the Wings gave up 50 shots in goal in......20 years.

Ott proves once again how much of a colossal piece of s*** he is. Burn them here for it.

So today my Zetterberg jersey arrived from Light in the Box. From the initial order it took a little over a week. Upon first glance, it looks really great, but the longer you stare at it the more little things you find wrong with it. It has the Stanley Cup patch, which kind of sets it off nice until you put the real patch next to it. The material for the jersey itself is quite nice and the Wings logo looks pretty good. The one downfall is the Zetterberg lettering on the back looks a bit wonky and the font is smaller. Cant complain too much, I mean for a jersey that was like $22 or whatever it was plus shipping. Going forward I am avoiding LITB and ordering from that "Jack" guy. His jerseys look way better and much harder to tell they are fake. So anyways, that is my take, see the pics in the link below. http://www.flickr.com/photos/34060409@N04/

LOL anyone hear this dialog Mick is having with someone in the background?

Well for one, I dont think you ever just coast through to the Stanley Cup, I dont care how good you are. Having said that, it seems like alot of nights the Wings act as if they are bored or something and as a result we dont see 100%. The one thing they have shown is, the ability to hit the next level when the game really matters and it just so happens that next level is pretty much how they were in the playoffs last year. I think when they are at that level no one else can touch them. It will be harder this time because there is more than just 1 elite team in the league right now and it just so happens we are not at the top of that heap. When it comes down to April when it really matters, I think we will be just fine. Fighting to stay near the top, playing close games, and winning the important ones should benefit come playoff time. All the rest will fall in place.

Most watched regular season game in 13 years...not bad. http://nhl.fanhouse.com/2009/01/02/ratings...winter-classic/

Here is some more hilarity from the Hawks forum. http://boards.chicagoblackhawks.com/index....showtopic=30383 Some believe they should stop chanting "Detroit Sucks" and others defend it because....well....it is all they have against us. They are pretty much on par with Predators fans.

The Penguins arena (Mellon Arena) is a retractable dome and it used to open but they added a scoreboard and the extra weight made it not open anymore.

Pretty amusing reading the Chicago fan comments after these past 2 games. Really put them in check. http://boards.chicagoblackhawks.com/index....0372&st=540

So am I right in saying that, if they do the side switch at 10mins of the 3rd, Chicago gets the disadvantage of having wind in their face for the end of the game?

So I placed my order for the Zetterberg jersey from Light In The Box on Sunday and they shipped it yesterday. Maybe they finally got their s*** together. So if anyone is interested, you might be OK to place an order. I will post pics when I get it. If it is good, I may get the Ovechkin jersey as well. A question for those who ordered from "Jack Wu". How much did he charge for shipping?

After having read this entire thread and looked at the pics, I decided to jump into the fray and order up a Zetterberg jersey from LITB. I got an email that says my payment is confirmed. Hopefully they dont fumble about too much.

Where is that guy now that was bashing Cleary with his huge ranting post a month or so back? Saying he was selfish and bla bla bla...

Everytime I see or hear Gary Bettman, this pops into my head...

The next meeting between the 2 teams is NOT the Winter Classic. Chicago comes into town on Tuesday Dec 30.

Going to this game. Give me my ring and a W!

What the hell is 97.1 the tickets problem? They said Gigeure was out for personal business in Montreal multiple times....

LOL FAIL. How fitting it was the Wings that forced the final hand in his firing. I think foolhardy is the best word to describe the Lightning organization as a whole. Now please stop showing that damn NHL.com commercial with Melrose.....go scout your ass back to ESPN.

Seriously, I am blown away. That is the most fact filled piece of literary ownage I have seen in quite some time. For anyone that knows haters/doubters, please refer them to this blog post. It is now like the bible for defending Hockeytown lore. GOOOO WINGS!

This is ***. We are held hostage to watch this BS while the ceremony has started and we are missing the player intros as I type this....

Ok so I really wanted to see the video of this game and I found some. It really is ridiculous. It looks like near the end of the game Bulgaria pulled their goalie for some reason, even though they were down 77-0 and players cover the puck in the crease and Slovakia is awarded penalty shots.... Also, Bulgaria can barely even skate lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGh6-CzKT-A...feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXXb4ULiJ64...feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQW0LNc6yDo...feature=related
