It's not really that big of a deal. We have the worst economy in the country.. it's not surprising that when people are faced with a choice of feeding their family for a week/catching some shut eye to go look for a job or paying $200 for playoff tickets - they're going to go with option one. If the Columbus fans want to come to our arena - be my guest. More money for the Red Wings organization.

Hahahaha. I sense a photoshop picture coming...

I think it's a pretty cool idea.. and the Blue Jackets definitely seem like a nice group of guys. (Of course, I'm only basing this on the last line of that article.)

The Red Wings don't fight because they don't have to. They win regardless of whether they toss the gloves or not. The Wings play the way that's easiest for them to win.. that's really all there is to it. Does that mean it's less enjoyable because there's no fights? That's really up for you to decide. It just seems to me that they're a finesse team - and they feel way more comfortable playing a finesse game than a physical game.. so that's what they do. And given their win record, I certainly won't complain.. but that part is a matter of personal opinion.

Bahahahahahahaha. There is only one word for this post: Perfect.

Hahahahaha. That's hilarious. Poor Zetterberg. He always gets to be the girl.

We had pretty much the exact same debate with the Pittsburgh Penguins fans in the SCF last season. Need I remind you how that turned out? Nash is an awesome player - but don't underestimate the value of playoff experience. The Wings currently have the most offensive depth of any team in the NHL. Having the #1 prospect from the AHL is great, but as anybody could tell you - it's a huge transition from AHL to NHL, and an even bigger one from AHL to NHL playoffs. I'm not going to sit here and say that your team is going to flop because I really don't know. But if you really think that a team who's never made it to the playoffs and has about 1/100th of the playoff experience that the Red Wings has is going to "dominate" them, you're just kidding yourself. This isn't the AHL anymore.

He'd make an incredibly convincing drag queen. I'm not even kidding.

No no. I'm generous. Anybody who hates Danny O as much as I do wins.

I'll do you one better. If I was that little girl, I'd take the whole bicycle and put it up there... then I'd ***** that his butt is so big that it's interfering with my vision. Just sayin'.

Danny O is against us - and that alone makes me wish for extraterrestrial existence. Maybe he'd just go hang out in the woods one night and take a long vacation, zipping around the galaxy... Okay, I feel better already.

It sort of makes you wonder what it takes to officially consider someone biased against us. Does Danny O have to get abducted by aliens from the Cobo rooftop? (If it were possible, I'd make every call I could.) Get trampled by angry fans in the streets, breaking both legs? Get hit by a Hockeytown Cafe shuttle bus? WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO MAKE YOU SEE THE LIGHT, NHL?!

THAT'S Steve Mason? Oh God... I thought it was his sister or something for a minute.

Yes, our good buddy Danny O got shot in Detroit.

Pretty freakin' much.

Fixed.

I could. I could do blonde for a loss. Hopefully I look like a deformed candy cane- with a ton of red and one or two white stripes.

I fully intend to not only do the strings on the wrist, but put a red streak in my hair for each win. My parents, of course, are not happy - but I assured them I'd get my hair colored when it was over.

.......... In very internet-lingo terms... GTFO.

WHY?! WHY DOES HE DO THIS TO US?! He should never be allowed to make playoff predictions.

No! Not Danny O!

The Red Wings DO have a lot of bandwagon fans. But there's a simple explanation as to why: They're proven winners. People who don't know anything about hockey know the Red Wings. They typically know that the Red Wings are one of the best hockey teams - even if they've never sat down to watch a game. And the fact is, you know absolutely nothing about any of us sitting behind our computers. The fact is, it's disrespectful. We like our hockey team and they just happen to win - a lot. What's the big deal? I played hockey for eight years. I know my hockey. I started going to Red Wings games when I was five years old. I'm 20 years old, studying to get into law school to practice family law. My parents are both employed, making enough money to maintain a financially stable home and send both of their kids to college - debt free. I've never stood in welfare line. We've never needed any kind of government assistance to pay our bills. We pay more in taxes on our home than some people make in a year - and we can afford it. We're lucky - damn lucky. My family is doing perfectly fine in reality. And I'd be willing to bet if you took the time to ask the posters here, some of them would be able to say just about the same thing for their family. Don't make assumptions. You end up appearing rude and asinine. P.S. - Are we at a hometown bar? Am I acting like a jackass and proving that I know nothing about hockey? The answer is no. So why would you feel the need to take it out on people on a forum who have done nothing but discussed their team?

IF he's hurt seriously. I'm going to go ahead and save myself the unnecessary heartache until I know for sure that he is. Also, who ever said that I didn't get it? I get it perfectly fine.. I just want to wait until I hear what's up with him before I go nutso.

Oh Godddd, every time that commercial comes on tv, my dad and I sing it together.. and my mother shouts "SHUT UP, FOR GOD'S SAKE" from the other room.
