people need to seriously relax about the Joe having empty lower bowl seat after seeing that ^

I'm gonna go with Happy judging by the lines Babcock used during yesterdays practice.

Just out of curiosity, what do you hate about the Kings?

that's awesome that Howie has gotten 31,000 writes ins.

so true. I agree that the curly fry line sounds better but I'm not about to drive across town for a fry.. I mean I probably won't for a sandwich either but I would be much more apt to.

damn. I'm hungry now.

It appears this is no strings attached. I just signed up and it never asked for any credit card info. So I couldn't believe they would be able to charge you since you have a card on file.

I will also go out on a limb and add that I bet a majority of the fans coming to Wings game are from out of the area; lets face it, Detroit is what it is and I don't think a ton of fans live there. For me to go to a game it will cost easily over $100 by the time I buy a ticket, fill the car with gas, buy dinner and maybe a beer or two. Not to mention I have to miss a few hours of work on game day since I live 2 hours away I have to leave at about 3 pm for a 7/730 game. Then by the time I get home that night, I often miss an hour or so the next morning. Going to a game for me takes about 2 weeks of planning with work and everything. To be honest, I don't feel like going through all that trouble to go see a regular season game all that often. I usually go to 2-3 regular season games. But playoff games, I try a bit harder to accommodate going. The seats are full and atmosphere is incredible.

Love: Red Wings Like: Tampa Bay -always liked them, but have to admit I'm on the Stevie Y bandwagon. Stamkos is a monster. Canadiens - Extremely fun team to watch, crowd is electric. Oilers - Believe they are due for a breakout in the next few seasons. They have by far my most favorite jersey outside the Red Wings. Philly - Exciting team to watch providing its not against the Wings. I like their physicality. Third most favorite jersey. Blackhawks - Close to home rivalry. Minnesota Wild - I just think Minnesota is deserving of having a good hockey team. Dislike/Hate s***sburgh - Need I say more? Anaheim - I secretly look forward to us playing them because I know it will be one hell of a game.

hopefully these episodes will pop up online somewhere since I don't have HBO. I could pick many other deserving teams; but I'll still watch it. Looks interesting.

Am I the only person that actually PREFERS the upper bowl? Anyway, I think we Detroit fans are a tad spoiled. I don't think people want to spend their hard earned money during the regular season; everyone figures we're going to make the playoffs so they save it until then to go to the games. Especially since the Tim Hortons deal for $30 is cheaper than you can get a regular season ticket for.

.....uh......why?

i wish FSN+ would die and FSN would realize no one cares about the pistons; resulting in all wings games in crystal clear FSN HD.

No they do not even offer it in HD. But even FSN non HD is watchable, FSN+ on the other hand; looks like a bunch of fuzzy snow balls skating around. I've got both FSN and FSN-HD but to get that blasted channel 88 I need to fork over an extra $15 for a more premium package, uh no thanks.

Nope, I've got Charter. At my apartment I have the extended basic (which includes FSN). I have to go to my parents place or a bar that has Charter's full blown package to get FSD+. But even then the picture quality is ATROCIOUS.

NOT FOX SPORTS PLUS!!! I WAS super stoked for this game. Now I can't even watch it unless I go somewhere then it's still that crappy quality. Seriously why do the Pistons get placed above the Wings? Shouldn't the pistons be put on +? Sorry rant off. GO WINGS!

she looks like a dude. In terms of the glass banging; just another hockey pasttime that is losing to the new era of hockey.

Huds in, Miller or Eaves likely sits. Kind of a good problem to have; not wanting to scratch anyone and struggling to decide.

I'm pumped for this game. I haven't been able to catch the Oilers yet. Just hopefully the Wings don't take them for granted and lay back. I am however not excited about the fact the game is in FS+ the quality on that channel is awful. I can barely tell which line is out since it looks like 5 blurry snowballs skating around.

It sounds like if Franzen sits hudler will play, if franzen is in hudler is out for the third consecutive game.

I seen him atleast 4 times last season. I don't get people hatred toward the guy. He adds excitement just as much as orange hat guy or knitting lady did. RIP Orange Hat guy.

not diggin the third line

i have a feeling this guy is going to turn out to be a class A idiot. He will claim to be such a loyal hockey fan only to turn around and attempt to sue his own Wild, the NHL, Canucks and Rypien. While a TRUE hockey fan would expect a round of drinks from his buds while talking about how awesome it was.

Okay, we do agree on this. I still think Rypien assaulted him, no matter which way you cut it, in the eyes of the law he was assaulted. And I still think Rypien should be dealt with accordingly. BUT, this guy, whom I thought was a teenager, has lost some points in my book. Dude, you've got an awesome story, you weren't hurt, take the free tickets I am sure you were offered and run. How ******* typical we are, the FIRST thing we do is run to the laywers to sue for millions. I hope if a case is brought up it gets thrown out, no grounds.

which happened 30 years ago.....you can't base current punishment off that event.
