dawings

I do apologize for my comments then...I didn't realize that there was anything to back your statement up...I just thought you were picking on her for being a preds fan. Although in talking to her, as I'm sure she never did anything to you, you might have explained yourself better without calling her names. I felt that you were personally picking on her instead of the preds fans that did you wrong. Again...I am sorry.

It's a shame when this happens. Most of them probably weren't even hockey fans. Just a reason to riot. It's a select few that can put a bad name on a city. I hope we're past acting like that.

It was fun. Nobody really got upset.....the 2 that flipped me off were laughing and the trooper was just doing it in fun also. I was never afraid that anything would happen or I wouldn't have done it. People are very nice here in the south. I think it also helped being a female.

Even though we won, I should have gone to the game in Nashville and worn my McCarty jersey...I would love to see him get 2 goals!

I've always had good things to say about the southern states. People who make hillbilly jokes though are no different from southerners making northern jokes. I'm dating a guy from Alabama and I hear that I'm a 'northerner' everday! lol I didn't hear chelios' comments but I'm wondering if they were taken out of context, from what I understand of him he's a very nice guy.

That was quite HARSH and TOTALLY uncalled for....please don't make me ashamed of being a Detroiter!

It's been a dream of mine for years to get out of the snow and move down here. I'm gonna be doing that in the next couple of years. I love the south and always have....but I'll always be a Wings fan!

lol...I would have had to smack somebody then. I hated hearing that whistle. I was never afraid or I wouldn't have done it. It was just fun and there were some people giggling and smiling at me...it was all in fun.

I've been going to Tennessee for many, many years. It's a very nice and beautiful state. I have never thought of any of the southerns states of consisting of toothless hillbillies. They are much friendlier than most northern states and the scenery is so beautiful!

Was it during a playoff round and were you alone?

The game wasn't on at that time. I didn't get to see any of the game. I can't wait until I get home...I taped it!

I may not come out alive on the way home. They hadn't lost the series at the time I went through the first time.

It is a beautiful state. I've always loved Tennessee.

I forgot to tell ya all that on the way home I'm gonna wear my jersey as well. Anyone want to bail me out of jail?

I didn't see this during the game but after seeing the video...IMHO I feel that Tootoo could have gone over/around him. Any amount of force could have injured Drapes as there's not much between the jersey and the skin. I think that Tootoo thought better of it once he stepped up on his back. Tsk..tsk. Ok..I've looked at this video several times after I wrote what I did above...clearly Tootoo was looking at Drapes laying on the ice and he thought that getting to the puck was more important than Drapes. I also saw afterward that Tootoo lightened up..he could have stepped much harder but.....if he had hit the right area he could have paralyzed him! He did use the toe of his skate.

Why keep those teams out of it? Why would you want anyone to miss out on the fun of hockey? In regards to why Bettman did this? I haven't been able to see all of the complete games as I work afternoons. I heard that Bettman said that other teams were worrying about the guts on the ice. Does anyone know if Nashville has been banned from throwing catfish? Or if any catfish guts were on the ice? I've never seen octopi guts on the ice. Time for a photoshop war with Al and the octipi after Bettman!

Yep...I was cringing at that one as well. Hope it can be fixed.

Very, very good point. I was cringing at some of the immaturity on there.

Good answer! When an octipi gets thrown on the ice it would be awesome to see currency follow!

That is just too damn funny!!! Good one! I'M IN!!!! #71

NO PROBLEM GETTING THIS ONE ON!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Betcha turn it back on!

Oh I like that one!
