Are you referring to the CD that was released in like 1995 with "I want Stanley" on it? The song you're talking about was the second song on the disk. I want to say it's somewhere at my parents, but it was a pretty good cd.

Wait...isn't there a thread on this already?...it was like a week ago, me thinks.

First of all, I applaud you for keeping an open mind about Detroit and realizing it's reputation isn't a true representation of the city. Depending on where you're coming in from, as stated above, be wary of traffic and your exits. If you're coming from the West, as many of us do, and end up taking the Lodge Fwy, the exit for the Joe is very sudden and on the right hand side. If you're getting there an hour before the game or less, you'll see one lane of traffic stopped and the rest open. Don't be that person who tries to creep in - just get in line, it moves quicker without moron's trying to merge. Secondly, if you don't feel like parking in the garage, here's my suggestion, and probably your best bet. Get directions to Greektown Casino and park in their structure, it's free! Hop on the People Mover for 50 cents (bring singles to get tokens) and ride it for about 5-10 min. The people mover makes a stop right at The Joe and it's literally a minute walk from the stop into the arena, no steep steps to worry about or crazy traffic before or after the game. But if you want to be a part of the crowd and walk the steps in, etc - find some place downtown by the Ren Cen and park and walk. It's safe, I promise, I've walked through there dozens of times - and the waterfront is beautiful! You'll see hobo's and beggers, nothing to be scared of - just walk on by. Have fun!

This. If Malts is taken down on a breakaway, you choose PP. If Dats is dragged down, you let him shoot. It should be a choice and it should be given on a clear breakaway. On another note, NHL 10 gives penalty shots like no ones business and it's awesome. True it's just a video game but penalty shot's are very exciting.

LOL @ they broke up the Russian 5. No offense there Sergei but the Russian 5 came to a tragic end because of the limo accident, that's no secret to the fans of this team or to him. The instant that Vladdy got hurt was the instant the Russian 5 ceased to exist and that's the end of that. Fetisov was ending the road in his career but ended up playing in 1998, of course, and I guess if Maxim Kuznetsov would have panned out in time and the Wings didn't go get Dominik Hasek for Kozzie in 2001 then maybe, maybe they would have all stayed together...I digress. Point is, that's just silly of him to say. They stayed together through 1997, mainly on the power play, where they were deadly. Otherwise, Scotty just didn't use them as a whole as often because it made the team better to spread all 5 of them out and use them with other players. With the way 1997 ended up, and you could even say 1996 (had Yzerman not been hurt) Scottie knew what he was doing. I think Sergei needs to thank Mr. I for getting him here, thank him for a great career, shut up and enjoy his $ that never would have happened without the Detroit Red Wings.

QFT. Even with all the negativity towards Obama in the first year, he'll probably get re-elected too Ok, enough political talk. lol the commercial is a nice gesture and good to see Michigan trying to do something about this economy but I think it's too little too late, we're going to need something big (auto industry) to revive us.

How they will afford this is beyond me. They can't give these guys Hossa/Z like extensions, can they? They're so young, I can't see em locking them up for 13/14 years and then the latter 3 or 4 giving them only a million a year to kill the cap hit. This is interesting stuff.

Per TSN LOL

He's definitely not worth that kind of money.

6 million plus bonuses, per TSN and Dreger.

:rotflmao:

Perfect, done.

So sad. Maybe Hossa told Kenny the only way he stays is if Tomas stays, Kenny said hell no, Hossa left and went to the first team that would take him and Tomas. Chicago bent over and said sure Marian. Thats exactly how it went down.

I'm happy he's gone, but the fact that he followed Hossa is hilarious.

Good Luck Conks!

12 yrs, 5.2 per. Chi taking a page out of Ken Hollands book. Oh well, go get Gabby! lol

If this deal is more then a year, then honestly I don't see what else Chicago can do other then plan on trading either Hoss, Toes or Kane before next summer, for some young talent. And that doesn't even make any sense. What the heck is Chi thinkin.

Good logic, I'd make the trade, but you know it ain't happening. Plus Raffy isn't going to wave his NTC to go from Detroit to LA. You'd have to be a moron to want to leave a Cup Champion for the Kings.. Wayne who??

Suicide seems pretty reasonable. No, honestly, if we lose to the damn Penguins and Cindy, I'll avoid the papers and websites for a good week or so and just ignore the fact. I'll maybe watch my 2008 DVD and relive that lol. I don't think we'll lose either but damn that feeling sounds horrible

Last year there was a little issue with them if I remember correctly. The day of the parade, I went to Dunhams ASAP and they weren't there yet, like they were supposed to be. I had to settle with going to the Joe and buying a hat for 30 bucks, but it was well worth it! I think though you can expect the hats to be in the area about 2 days after winning the cup, since I'm assuming they're all but completely printed for both teams, already.

Lets. Go. WINGS!!!!!!!!!!! BRING IT HOME!

JS Giguere won it in 2003 (I think that's the right year) against the Devils after it went to 7 games. So the winning team doesn't always have the Conn Smyth winner.

So, here's my dilemma. I work at a popular retail store in Ann Arbor and unfortunately, I work from 8 PM to 11:30 PM, thanks to the fact of some bull shiz in the company. So of course, me and a couple other people have to work right during the time of the game, and calling off or switching the shift is completely out of the question (unless I die, though it might be worth faking..) But, because the store will be closed from 9 til 11:30, I can get my laptop out and using the mall internet, either watch or listen to the game. My only problem is, I never do this and I have no idea what websites or links there are out there to listen to the game live or watch it live. Can anyone help me out here and let me know? I'd really appreciate it. Oh and before you say "bring a radio"...I tried once. It's like a bomb shelter in the mall, there's no radio reception. The closest we got was a 3 minute delayed feed on my manager's iphone but that came in and out. So any help here would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I didn't know you could do that, I thought they weren't allowed to stream the games. Great! And jmad & Cern, thanks a bunch! I'll be trying those when I get to work tomorrow. Hopefully one of them comes through clearly. Id rather have the live video feed but Kenny Kal does a fine job too.

Anyone? Any suggestions?
