    1/8 GDT: Stars, 1 at Red Wings, 6

    I had soooo much fun last night at the game. I'll post pics a little later this afternoon when I get back up north but let's just say I got a nice little surprise from the 2nd star of last night's game, Kronner gave me his stick after he did his curtain call for being 2nd star!! Not even joking. I was hanging out down by the tunnel and after he did his little spin, handed it up to me!!! I'm soooo pumped!! Awesome game by the Wings, better yet to witness it live!! And Turco still sucks!

    Parking?

    Hey everyone, Usually when I go to Wings games I ride down with a buddy who won't be going along this time so I'm taking my brother down instead. I have never driven down to the Joe so I'm wondering, where is the best bet for parking as far as cost vs. distance to the arena? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Staal vs. Semin fight

    Also, remember that out of our 7 tilts this year, a handful were during that week stretch where Mac thought he was one of the Hanson boys

    Your 5 Favourite Non Red Wings?

    In no particular order: Ovechkin, Hemsky, Nash, Kovalchuk, Toews
  9. Just found Winter Classic replica jerseys (either Hawks or Wings) for $95+shipping with the Winter Classic patch on them too, frozenpond.com. No player names though but I still will probably pick one up with the WC patch.

    Players You're Glad Didn't Win It...

    Bert and Murph are my two picks. I have enough memories of murph standing in front of the net watching goals fly in to make me sick

    have any of you ever written to NHL players?

    Cheli will send back 90% of the time but it is autopenned if you send him a card. He for some reason, will sign anything else normally and autopen cards. Don't ask me why, I've just heard that's how he does it. Successes with Cheli come from writing him c/o his restaurant Cheli's Chili too, just a little FYI for ya.

    have any of you ever written to NHL players?

    I still do this and have gotten quite a few back recently. Some of my recent successes include: St. Louis, Kopitar, McCarty (sent to him in GR a few months ago), Tony Granato, Briere, and Theo Fleury. I have about 100 various autographs I have obtained thru the mail and there are only 2 that are autopenned (Cheli and Jagr) but besides that I am pleased with the success rate, I receive about 70% of them back.

    looking for a locker room tee still?

    This isn't spam, I'm just trying to help out the members trying to find the locker room tees. They have them at icejerseys.com and they ship within 24 hours. I ordered mine yesterday right before I left work at 5 and just got the shipping notification. Now 3 more days and it's up here in Minnesota for all to see!

    The Official Apology Thread

    My apologies for the 2008 playoffs... I'm sorry to Nashville and their carp throwing, octopi-slime hating fans. On a related note, I'm sorry Mr. Bettman that your plan to have Al stop twirling the octopi backfired on you. I'm sorry Joel Quenneville that we embarassed you so bad it cost you your job. I'm sorry Johan Franzen was just a machine in your whole series and scored as many goals as your whole team. I'm sorry Marty Turco that you're still our ***** even though you finally won your first NHL game at the Joe these playoffs. I'm sorry Sidney Crosby, but even though you are the NHL's poster child, you got in the way of the Red Wings in the finals. I'm sorry for your teammate Mr. Malkin and the lack of heart he had through the whole finals. I'm sorry Gary Roberts that karma comes back to you for punching the Mule in the head, look what he's doing today compared to your 9 AM tee time. I'm sorry Marian Hossa, you played one hell of a series and got no attention from the media while your crybaby captain got all the credit. HELL YES!! KEEP PARTYING HOCKEYTOWN AND LET'S DO IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR!!!

    Dats Third goal enthusiasm

    We should all mail Marty a variety of photos. One with the toe drag, one with Dats doing the celebration, and just a head and shoulders scary looking shot of Pavs just to keep him thinking....

    Sharks fire Ron Wilson

    This is coming about 2-3 years too late. That SJ team is waaay too talented. Take out Marleau being a playoff choke artist and they still have a solid, deep team that should already have at least one Cup by now.
