LOVE IT!!!! *fingers are crossed*

lol....good one!

I heard during the game that the media in Colorado were taking shots at Forsberg for not playing....so he figured that he'd give it a try.

WOO HOO! My heart is now back where it belongs! GO WINGS...SWEEP!

Any body else have their heart in their throat??? I can't take this!!

Happy Birthday Nick! I hope that Drapes doesn't discriminate and gets him good!

I'd love to see a few hundred of these hit the ice!

I don't know....just stating what Bernie said. I've never heard of a high school having it's own ice rink either.

I just heard on Channel 4 news that the Red Wings are practicing at a high school in Denver. Bernie didn't mention the name of the high school.

I know what ceiling cat originally said! Good one!

Absolutely works for me! Great video!

Dats is like the piece of paper in the parking lot on a windy day! You just aren't going to catch him! A truly amazing video...thank you!

I only saw part of the clean up as I was watching online and the feed kept freezing, but like I said I've never seen a major clean up like that one before. I'm not normally one for conspiracy theories but what about a sudo fan not cooking the octopi properly on purpose. I guess my question was has anyone ever seen that major of a mess before or was this done for 'show' to prove Bettmans point.

I think that the linesmen were told to make a show of "scraping" the octopi off the ice. Have you ever seen it take so long before? I think this is a bunch of bulls***! I have never seen or heard of any "matter" from the octopi being on the ice. Don't you think that we would of heard of any problems in the past 56 years???? I want to know who has the power that put a bug in Bettmans ear.

Welcome to the board Bestkeeper....great to have you here for some great playoff discussions.

Well fans...I drove from Michigan to Alabama on Sunday and arrived in Tennessee early Sunday morning. My route takes me through Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, back to Tennessee and then back to Alabama. I know it's weird but you're crossing through some of these states for only a few miles. Anyway on with my story....picture this in your mind. I have a small Red Wings logo on my windshield, I was wearing a Red Wings t-shirt. I drove the first leg of Tennessee and had stopped a couple of times in the rest area or a gas station. I left Tennessee heading for Alabama/Georgia then knowing I'm going back into Tennessee it dawned on me. I have my Red Wings flag in my trunk! I know you're all wondering why the hell my flag was in my trunk..well I have this superstition that if I don't put my flag in my window by the first playoff game it doesn't go on. Well I thought that this really should be the exception to the rule. So off I go to find an exit that doesn't have ANY gas stations, rest areas etc. As I don't want to incite a riot. I found the perfect exit called 'stinking creek road'....I swear this is the real name of the road! Anyway I put my flag on and get back on to the highway. Well I was flipped off twice...lol. I then pulled into the Tennessee welcome center! It was about 10am Sunday morning on a beautiful, warm, sunny day and the welcome center was packed! I pull up with my flag a flying and parked and got out of my car and state trooper happened to be there walking his police dog. He walked up to me and said "Boy you have guts!" and I said "Of course I do...I'm a Red Wings fan!" lol Anyway he said maybe I should escort you inside the welcome center and we laughed and I said "I don't think that would be necessary..besides you would protect me wouldn't you?" and he said "Hell NO!" lol Anyway, we got a good laugh out of it and I was escorted into the welcome center by a Tennessee state trooper. I should also tell you, by the way, that I made this trip by myself. So I just wanted to tell you all that I took a hit for the team!

Nothing better than your first Red Wings game! Sorry about losing the hat but glad that you had a good time!

Ooops! Double post...damn computer.

You shaved?????? Phbbtt! Maul you???????? Phbbtt! lol

Mine aren't pink...just getting ratty. The white ones look a little dirty but who cares.....it's the red ones that I take special care of. I'm thinking of taking a red bracelet and tying off each round. What do ya all think? I mean we all want to pretty much do the same thing.

I hope Malts is in.....nothing better than the ol' grind line during the playoffs!

I've always loved the southern states and the southern hospitality. My Red Wings gear was all in fun. Although, even though previously I stated I would wear my jersey and fly my flag through Tennessee on the way home, I've decided that it would be too much "in your face"..so I've decided to let it go. I may just wear one of my tee shirts. Glad to have another Red Wings fan! It's the best game in the world!

Mine are getting a little ratty looking and I was thinking of replacing them but got scared to remove them.

Says the board is closed due to some 'non-hockey' fans??? What are we gonna do?

Thank you, I thought it was kind of funny. I guess I'm just surprised all the controversy that it caused.
