    Euro Twins versus Sedin Twins

    Yeah I'm with you. The Sedins vs. Euros is a way better matchup. I would pay money to see that. How about any two Staals against them? Or a preseason matchup of Kronwalls vs Filppulas Back on topic, I think if they played a series it would go to 7. The thing is though, with 2 on 2, it might just come down to whoever has the best shot. There's a lot of room and its not hard to get shots off, so of the 4, who has the best wrister?

    Hockey Leagues

    Good rundown of the leagues. Sometimes it gets a little confusing as to which is which. One of the things that has kept me from becoming a regular soccer fan is that understanding the different leagues is more complicated than a Kovalchuck contract negotiation. I guess it wasn't meant to be.

    Wings lines & pairings for preseason opener released

    Nice! Good luck to McCollum! I like the look of those 3rd and 4th lines.

    MyFoxDetroit to Stream Red and White Game

    Awesome! Did anyone see that Lidstrom dangle and drive to the net? He almost scored. Ugh I wish I didn't have to go to class right now. I want to keep watching!

    Wings name Red & White Teams (also send 13 back down)

    Yeah. No injuries please. How about.... I hope the Wings have such an absurdly high point advantage that they can afford to simply rest the starters for a week and let all the prospects get ice time.

    ZDH playing keep away... very funny

    Lol those two are ADORABLE. But seriously, good show! Cannot wait for the season to start! I'm going to the Wings Hawks preseason game in Chicago on Saturday. Should be great.
  8. Yeah. I thought it was a good hit that set up a goal. If anything he left his feet a little bit, but even that you can barely tell.

    New Blank Red Wings Jersey

    Eh Zetterberg jerseys are a dime a dozen. Even though those other guys will be retired in 5 years, they will still all be memorable iconic Red Wings figures for a long time to come. I like the idea of getting a jersey of one of our more unsung heroes.
  10. Awesome pictures, thanks for showing! I like Datsyuk's comb-over. Too cool that you got meet all those guys! Cool for your dog too! I have a 16 year old dog named Ozzie (after Osgood in his rookie season) and he's still going strong! I have a theory that my dog's life-span is directly tied to Osgood's career. Never retire Ozzie! I love that pic of Mo, Huds, and Cleary all walking through the parking lot like a bunch of thugs!
  11. Very cool! Thats a memory that will last a lifetime. How'd Homer look on the ice, by the way?
  12. Great pictures! Thanks for posting. Mo looks good taking faceoffs. Looks like everyone is having a good time out there.

    Draper Pulls the ol' Groin

    Did Lebda shoot a puck into his groin? Oh yeah that's right Lebda's gone...
  14. Yeah I thought this fad had passed. Isn't Betty White the new hip-washed-up-celebrity? He should paint her on his mask.

    Hawks trying to deal Huet

    The only team in the NHL I can think of who is actually hurting bad enough at the goalie position to need the likes of Huet, IS in fact the Hawks. Funny how that works out.
  16. Can't wait to see these guys play. Oh and... I actually miss the blueadams line threads. Just saying.

    Babcock to Change Defense Pairings

    I think his username is blueadams. This rules though.

    Who do and did you hate more?

    At least in 09 we got some revenge on Anaheim in a hard fought series. Right now the Pens series stings more, and it will continue to sting until we meet them again in the finals and beat them as we should have in 09. I never thought I would stop hating the Aves, but alas, I really have no dislike for them anymore. That rivalry was the best when it was going, but since all the players are gone from the Aves, and most are gone from Detroit, its just not the same. Even when we faced them in 08, I didn't feel any particular animosity towards them. Right now, the Hawks are my least favorite team.
  19. Babcock owns Quenneville. Two years in a row Coach Q lost to Babs in the playoffs. Game 4 of the 09 playoffs against the Hawks shows what happens when these two coaches face eachother.

    Parents sue because kids suck at hockey

    In high school I tried out for the baseball team and ended up becoming the lacrosse goalie. Not sure how that one worked out.

    Lilja gets training camp invitation to Sharks

    Surprised this didn't happen sooner. Hate to say it, but he is a good fit over there. Best of luck Lils.

    Draper's face after The Turtle boarded him

    Yeah that always pissed me off about that call. Considering the size difference between Ozzie and Roy, I thought Oz did pretty damn well. He took some punches admirably (not nearly as many as the announcer suggested) and didn't cower or turtle. He got in a few good shots of his own, and then got the takedown. Good video, what a great rivalry. I'm really tempted to watch the fightnight at the Joe game. I have it as part of a DVD collection I bought a while back. The entire game is just incredible, one of the most entertaining games I have ever seen.

    Lilja Contemplates Training Camp Invitation

    Still surprised that no one has gone after him. Is he unwilling to take a pay cut for another team? His asking price for us was too high, but he's still a valuable Dman, I would have thought someone would have taken a chance on him by now. I love Lils, but unless its a two-way contract, I just don't see how he fits in with us.

    Stanley Cup Predictions

    Yeah it was game 4 where Ozzie replaced Dom.
