Holmstrom96

Yup, not only is he roughing our players up after the whistles, but he's targeting our best players. It's time for a Nash Smash and take CBJs off their game. Oh, and one more thing CHRIS OZ MOTHER FREAKING GOOD!

Excellent use of the "somewhat", lol

It's ok because I mother ******* agree with you. Holmstrom gets analed in front of Mason but then we step in front of a guy and get interference. Plus, Columbus keeps charging Ozzie and punching our players after the whistle. ******* refs are trying to hand it to Colombus. Perhaps the way to be a "model franchise" is to get the refs to favor struggling markets?

VERY. BAD. REFFING.

I picked up five tickets to Game 2 for $47 dollars each (adding in extra charges). I'm up in 203B Row 26, yeah, it's up there, but I'm happy with it. It's sad they are having issues selling tickets, but they are way too expensive. I love hockey above all, but I go to more baseball games because it cost 75% less than hockey.

He catches with his right hand, but it's close enough!

I just don't like seeing the octi thrown when it interferes with play. If you do it on the road, do it at the end of the game in case you get kicked out.

I would also add, don't throw during play, that's just wrong. It should be right after play has been whistled or after a goal.

LMFAO! EPIC!

Yeah, the Ronald + King just about made me cry. I really like the Chelios one you guys made up.

I love that the CBJ fans are now posting in here now, let's keep it funny and friendly!

I don't like the JLA garage, reason being is that you can probably walk back to Columbus before you'll ever get out of that garage. Also, nobody will let you back out. Last time I had to do a human pick play with a car so my dad could back it out.

ROFL!!

O'Halloran is certainly baised against the Wings and Holmstrom, he's got a big chip on his shoulder and makes a lot of garbage calls. I've turned off a couple of games because of him. Some Wings fans will stop watching if they feel that the deck is being stacked against them.

Keep in mind that I-75 is shut down (yes, completely) at Clark Street. I don't come from south of the city, anyone know a good detour? Should he get off at Clark and then get on Fort? I hope you enjoy the game. The fans might razz you a little bit, but from what I've seen in the past nobody ever gets stupid. Have fun! Warning\disclaimer: Hookers may have crabs, Detroit Red Wing fans are not responsible for any STDs you get from using them.

OMFG, you're making me cry, no joke!

LOL, it's easy. Two games at Detroit. Two games in Columbus. Then after that Detroit advances to the next round.

Yup, this information is correct. The highest res the HDTV is broadcast on (cable\sattelite\OTA\whatever) is 720p\1080i. I too have a 1080p TV, but the only time I get full 1080p is when I watch blu-ray movies. I love Red Wings in HD on my 42" LCD tv!

I've got my panties in a wad over which will be blacked out. I sure hope versus is blacked out because I get FS-D in HD, but versus I do not get in HD. Plus versus blows donkey compaired to Ken and Mickey.

Weird, FSD and VS??? Does anyone know if we'll have a choice or will we be blacked out? I hope the blackout would favor Ken and Mickey...

Yeah, I've got the HD and digital package, the slowest internet speed (2 meg) and I only pay $76 a month!

That would have been my opinion a year ago, but once you watch hockey in HD you can't go back to standard def. It simply cannot be beat. 16:9 widescreen is an excellent format for sports, since the rinks\fields are all rectangular. The extra clarity of 720p and 1080i is simply amazing, with a good sounds system you feel like you are right there watching the game.

The NHL is doing a new system this year. Each team gets a ref that will follow them throughout the play-offs. Dan O'Halloran is our ref and rumor has it that he just bought a new set of golf clubs and is eager to try them out. (just kidding of course)

My main concern is goaltending. Mason is beyond human when it comes to goaltending. We need to get to this kid, demoralize him in game one or two with a blow-out victory, and spank 'em. Our defense needs to help out Osgood and set a good tone of confidence for him. Good news is that our team is realativly healthy. I would imagine Hossa will be back, I think sitting him was all precautionary. I'm upset about TV coverage, Versus sucks and I don't get it in HD because I have WOW Cable.

My thinking exactly.
