    Comparing the Red Wings parade

    It wouldnt be down Yonge st it would follow the Santa Clause parade route along Bloor and University. Much wider streets with more boulevard to stand or sit along, but this is a silly comment anyway because they are no where close, maybe in the next few years they can have a "we made it to the playoffs parade". Toronto would go nuts though, the city would stop, back in the mid 90s when Pat Quinn took them deep they would cheer all into the night along Yonge st, after they made it to the next round of the playoffs, it got a bit out of hand and annoying stupid stuff would happen like not letting a car full of girls past until they flashed you.

    Darcy Tucker

    I dont like him either but sometimes you like to have those guys that you hate, theres a reason we dont like him. Everytime Maltby got in a tangle he would leave it and give the guy 1 last bump or a face wash if he wasnt a Red Wing I would be barking at the TV rather than smirking. Tucker is cut from the same cloth drake is, hard worker mucker gets under guys skin isnt afraid to get in there, he had a bad year last year, something wasnt right with him he wasnt effective for this reason I would pass on him.

    Jimmy Develano

    did anyone see or hear an interview from him over the playoffs, I notices he wasn't in the parade, last time I heard anything about him was he got all mad at the leafs cause they wanted to talk to Holland and Nill. Is he not into celebrations or is it just odd luck I didn't notice him.

    Official Wings Cup Parade Information

    well since no one has really stepped up with some info about where to park where to stand what is closed down ECT ECT I have done some poking around The free press link above has a map and limited info that article says go here for more www.theparade.org that's basically a corporate site with no info either. That site leads to www.clickondetroit.com and that's another news type site that quickly gets away from parade info and tells a sports story. I remember reading once people were disappinted that the joe parking wasn't open for the parade in the past so scratch that idea. Is the transit system linked to any safe parking spots? Eg run through a hotel with a parking garage? I'll be coming from Toronto and right now my plans are to be there early I might even leave tonight after work and stay at a hotel in michigan.

    2008 SCF Game 6 GDT: Red Wings 3, Penguins 2

    Im so happy right now! Congrats wings fans everywhere!
  13. Im sure it was hard for the man, going from Starter to backup but before this thing is all said and done win or loose, I think we should recognize that he has taken his spot on the bench and not complained about it, at the end of the games he has come out to congratulate Osgood with a smile after the wins. I think he has been a real team player refraining from being a distraction in the locker room because he was benched may have been hard for him but Im glad he is there just in case. I thought I should post this before the end of the playoffs because we wont hear about him till later in the summer when the retirement question comes up bot these goalies have done a good job this year they have been a good combo. Go Team!

    Red Wings Parade

    Some people are supersticioius, your talking about throwing a party before the thing has been won, there are people who dont like that no matter what the odds look like right now they just dont want to be jinxed. Same thing goes with talk of Shut outs midway through the 3rd or no hitters at the top of the 8th. I think you were speaking of a belated memorial day parade though right?

    Teeth?

    Ok here we are in the stanley cup finals we are halfway through it and when I wake up this morning and open my cyber newspaper the 1st article is about Detroit red Wings teeth? WTF? Wish they would save this sort of "news ahem" for the summer time. http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article...3/1053/SPORTS05

    Red Wings might have good shot at Sundin

    Sundin on the forth line lol ya right! He has been playing with 4th liners on the 1st line his whole time as a leaf Im pretty sure if he was to sign with the wings he would have different expecations of his line mates. Sundin on this team could mean running 3 lines with 2 big centers, Franzen being one Sundin being the other, would also give Babcock a chance to try is break up Datsyuk and Zeterberg experiment again, could be quite interesting.

    Wings/Blackhawks outdoor game @ Wrigley

    I guess this blows detroits chance at getting an outdoor game in Detroit in the next however many years I have a feeling being in an outdoor game will be like hosting the all star game. I well never been to Chicago I'm sure its beautiful in January

    Wings fans denied access to Pittsburgh game?

    Thats a joke! What if you were a penguins fan from any state or province not listed, thats not right it will just promote scalping for out of town residents. Not only that but it makes for unfair supply and demand that will affect the ticket prices for scalpers. Wrong Wrong Wrong! After seeing something like this if I was in wings management I would conclude my business with ticket master and do something like the Buffalo Sabres do and sell them on my own! Not only that but this is bad business for the NHL a league that wants to increase its popularity not piss off fans geeesh!
