    Yes and yes. We have two national sports: hockey for the winter and lacrosse for the summer. Lacrosse received the honour first.

    Red Wings TV Ratings Down 21%

    Some fans let the Standings in the sports section determine how much they follow the Club during the regular season. When the ratings drop during the playoffs, that's when the broadcasters, and the advertisers, should start to worry. Plus, with all the TV timeouts and this commercial break and that commercial break...I mean for a game that is billed as one of the fastest in the world, it sure takes a long time to play one!

    1/29 GDT: Stars 4 at Red Wings 2

    Oh well, we'll just have to wait until next year for the Club's 100th win versus Minnesota / Cleveland / Dallas.

    The Start of a Slide?

    Correct. Last season's losing streaks, 3 or more: 7-17 February, 6 games 22-29 February, 4 games 11-17 November, 3 games 10-15 January, 3 games. The two losing streaks in Janaury were split by one win. Just for fun the other night, I took the time to check on the Club's record following the the All-Star / Olympic break, in an 82-game schedule. The Club's best finish was in 1995-96, going 30W-4L-4T in their last 38 games. Their worst finish was last season, going 13W-10L-1OTL-1SOL in their last 25 games, marginally being just worse then 1998-99 (percentage wise), when they were 12W-9L-3T in their last 24 games. And, they did all right last season, agreed? All it takes is one win to start a new streak.

    It is rhetoric like this that is ruining the game and league!

    Wings RBK Jersey from China

    Do they have any lead paint on them? Just make sure that "Zetterberg" doesn't have two "e's" together.

    Should the NHL All Star game return to NA vs World format?

    My apologies; I forgot that the League was quite content to have the ASG end in a tie in those days. So: 19 games, with the SC champions winning 7, the all-stars winning 9 and 3 ending in a tie.

    Crosby Back In Lineup...TONIGHT!?!

    He must have used the super healing powers from his Memorial Cup ring. What? He didn't? Oh, never mind.

    Back spasms will keep Zetterberg from Dallas game

    Backs can be tricky. Here's hoping it's not for long.

    Why Shots on Goal Don't Always Tell the Story

    Did MacTavish flip out at the press conference following the game? Sometimes, it looks as if his head might blow up, blow up real good.

    Should the NHL All Star game return to NA vs World format?

    This might help. In the period from 1947 through 1968, (not 1951, 1952 or 1966), when the reigning SC champions played the All-Stars, the totals were: 19 games, with 7 wins for the SC champs, 12 for the all-stars. Detroit played in 3 games with this format, winning 2 of them and tieing the other.

    Emery flips out!

    The guy giving him the cap said: "This just arrived from somebody by the name of Martin Gerber". I "googled" the translation of what is on the cap and it came back as: "Never mind 'I'm with', I AM stupid!"

    NHL Awards Moving To Las Vegas

    If (I said "if") they ever got a team in LV (franchise transfer or expansion), the obvious choice for Head Coach would be Rick Tocchet.
