Heh, I was thinking of doing that. I have this one on order from nhl.com and it's OK but I'd much rather have a replica of what they'll be hanging in the Joe.

Where would you be able to get one of these? I have one in that style that covers the first ten Cups but one for this year's would be awesome. As far as other merch for this year so far I have on order: -The locker room hat -The locker room shirt -The red Reebok roster shirt -A 2008 banner (but I'd prefer one like the ones in the Joe) -The Freep book and a poster of the cover of the front page of the June 5th paper -The book from redwings.com I also plan to get the SI magazine and the championship DVD. I may also get the Detroit News book.

Yeah I got that message too and there was no mention of when anything would ship but on the item page it says four to five weeks. TIme to cancel my order.

Awesome. Little ashamed to say it but I have a few tears going here. This is so ******* awesome. All the disapointments of the past 6 years down the drain. f*** YEAH BOYS! Hanks is you savior.

20 minutes, gents. No more stupid ******* penalties and you've probably got it.

That's the kind of start they needed. Keep it up, boys.

Obviously a good start will be key. They can't let the Pens get the crowd into it nor can they let the Pens score first. Discipline will also be key as special teams could decide things. I have a feeling they'll win but it'll take a consistent and mistake free effort for 60 minutes. Close it out tonight, boys. Go Wings!

What's the point. 40 seconds away from your dream coming true and you can't get it done. I can't take much more of this. Where is the killer instinct on this team already.

It's amazing that they're one game away but I'm still cautiously optimistic. Being at home is a definite plus so hopefully they capitalize. Rest assured though that champagne will be flowing wherever I am if they put it away.

I've wanted to father Hank's children for a while. Just a fantastic effort from him tonight and as much as Ozzie has carried the team, Z really deserves the Conn Smythe.

It's really just getting back to basics and getting past what happened in game three. Kronwall and Stuart will rebound and Hank and Pav will also do more with shorter shifts. I also think the Mule will come through with a monster game. A win is not a lock but they know how to get there.
