    HSBC Arena Jumbotron accident in 1996

    I hadn't heard about this. That is creepy! I wonder what measures have been taken to assure it doesn't happen again?

    Management practically admits offseason mistakes?

    Stay the course Kenny!

    Sharks new logo leaked

    I kinda like it. It's a little meaner and less cartoony if you ask me.

    Dustin Penner?

    Doh! Good catch, thanks! I was wondering why everyone was getting so excited about THAT guy.

    Dustin Penner?

    I'd love to see Holland make an offer, if for no other reason than to mess with Anaheim. If we do sign Penner, somebody needs to teach him to talk better trash. That "you're gonna get it" crap, in his whiny baby voice, just isn't going to cut it.

    Official new NHL jersey thread

    That's the Puerto Rican flag in the previous post... This is the Cuban flag: This is the Ohio Flag: Now that we have that settled... I don't mind the NHL messing with jerseys and logos, so long as its always ultimately the team's choice. I say keep the Red Wings jersey the same. If you want to mess with it, do it with practice jerseys.

    How many here have played hockey?

    I've been playing in the beer league for about 4 years. I play Center in B league, and am trying to get my skates under me as netminder in pick-up games. I've only been playing in net for a month and I already sprained my MCL. I've been off the ice for 6 weeks and I'm about 85%. Its killing me, and I can't wait to be 100% and ready to play.

    Wings are hiring: Season Ticket Rep.

    Filling canceled seats... This brings me back to my point from a while back that they really should try and get a handle on the "online ticket brokers" that are selling tickets at up to 10 times face value, depending on the game. I know season tickets are their bread and butter, but if you look at what people actually pay sometimes to go see an individual game, and add it all up, I don't think the NHL would complain much about bringing in the money that stubhub.com and the rest are making off them.

    NHL needs to improve marketing

    Not surprisingly, it looks like they're hiring. Link

    NHL needs to improve marketing

    WRONG!!! I'm usually pretty quiet around here, but I have to step in and call BS when I see it. Have you ever even been to Oregon? I've lived in Eugene for 8 years, moved here from East Lansing Michigan, and Portland is only an hour and a half drive north. The WHL's Portland Winter Hawks have a great following, and have been around since the 70's. Wiki The entire state of Oregon only has one major league pro sports team, the NBA's Trailblazers. People here are insane about the 2 colleges and their teams. They also just started up a pro Lacrosse team, and they're doing really well too. I think they'd have to change the name of a team to the Portland Tsunami, or back to the Portland Rosebuds. Its more relevant, and would give them a fresh start. Here are some more good wiki's for those who claim to know about hockey in Oregon. (Bullocks) Portland Rosebuds Portland Buckaroos PCHL I don't have a stat handy, but I know the Winter Hawks are near the top of their league in attendance every year. They've taken to calling it "Hawkey Town". NHL2PDX.com What do you think Jaytan? I'm curious as to your take on it.

    LGW ROCKS! Thanks to everyone responsible, Matt, moderators, posters, and everyone inbetween. I'm a RWNW member now, and hope to meet more LGW'ers in person someday soon. Keep up the great work!

    Game 6 @ the Ponda

    Nice meeting you guys too! Next time, I'll get in touch with you ahead of time, and we can party or something. I sure enjoyed our little comeback attempt, just too bad it wasn't enough, and didn't start earlier. *sigh*

    RED WINGS NATION WEST -Let me hear you!

    I'll be in Ontario for work all week, so if anyone has a source for game 6 tix, I'm interested. Does anyone who's been to the games know what the scalping situation is like at the Pond? Would I be better off getting my tix lined up ahead of time? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks! GO WINGS!

    Holmstrom Hat trick

    Natural Homer Hat-trick = when one of your goals is scored after returning from injury

    Holmstrom's new nickname

    I thought Homer already had a nickname... The Demolition Man I kinda liked that one, and there is a movie poster to photoshop of that too. I've taken to calling Homer "The Glue" lately.

    Petition to Tether Hasek to the Net

    I love Dom, he's fun to watch like roller coasters are fun to ride. The "need a clean pair of shorts" kind of fun. Besides, we all knew about this before we signed him (again), its just a part of the overall package that is the DoMiNaToR!!! Love it or leave it.

    Holmstrom cleared to play in Game 4

    He's the glue! Welcome Back Homer!

    The One and Only Positive I Have Faith, Kumbayah"

    Regarding Homer, I think that is a flaw with any "role player" based system, in hockey or otherwise. When you lose one, general depth isn't going to fill the gap, and thats what we've been missing. Homer is becoming the glue on this team. We'll get him back, and start dominating, you'll see.

    Let's give Versus a little love here

    I think they're definitely headed in the right direction. I'm becoming a fan of "NHL: On The Fly" lately. Cool replay segments with game audio only. Does anybody else think the NBC "Shift timer" is a little redundant for those of us paying attention to the game?

    What city deserves an NHL team

    Portland Oregon! The Portland Winterhawks do pretty well for themselves from what I hear.

    New to hockey : What is offsides?

    Offsides = A kick-ass person responsible for "pretty-ing up" most of the signatures and avatars of the LGW members.

    3/9 GDT: Kings @ Red Wings

    Thanks for the great GDT's Aflac! (What ever happend to the Red GDT?) I'd say they need to play a full 60, but with a few going to OT lately, lets shoot for 65 + ! Wings 3 - Dats, Calder, Mule Kings 1- Cammalleri Wings score 2 early, and win in regulation. :chug:
