    BlakKy got a reaction from 55fan in Is the Stanley Cup really the hardest trophy in all of pro sport?   
    All the North American pro sports trophies are made of sterling silver. This means they are all relatively the same hardness.

    BlakKy got a reaction from evilmrt in So I Met Some NHLers Yesterday   
    My only brushes with NHLers come from work.
    I work downtown at Bestbuy (don't make fun) and Leafs come in pretty regularly. First guy I met since working there was Ron Wilson. He bought the nicest Mac laptop we have from myself and we just conducted business regularly. When he was skimming through his wallet I asked "What do you think of the team this year?" (this was my first indication I gave as to knowing who he was) He responded, "Best team Toronto has had since Sundin has been gone-what kind of discount can I get?" He seriously didn't take a breath between sentences. I offered him the 'student' discount which is to say $100 off in lieu of buying a service plan for $450. He said "Do I have to do anything?" and I let him know that I'd take care of it. He then asked for my card and he gave me his along with some nice gold seat tickets for the second home game of the season. The best NHL souvenir I now own is Ron Wilson's business card.

    Since then he referred JM Liles and Lupul to the store and they got in touch with me. They were furnishing there new condos with home theatre stuff. Both were nice enough guys and Lupul brought tickets to the store. He also left tickets on his counter for the installers.
    After I helped them out I texted Ron about the Wings game in TO and let him know they were my favourite team and he made some comment about them "being a good, but easy choice to cheer for". He had someone drop off the same Gold seat tickets to the store in an envelope with my name on it.
    Funniest thing about all this is how badly I wanted Wilson to be fired before I started getting hook-ups lol.

    I really wish the Fillet o Fish commercial was back.
    Also the new Rahmani commercial isn't as good since there is no wings soundbite.
    And also... I already know a pick-up truck is a better hockey player than Franzen, and I'm cool with it. Just stop telling me.

    When will people stop calling Miller dead weight?

    That formula would prove that Miller is great for his money.
    An easier calculation is this: How many points does Miller have? How many does Eaves have?

    BlakKy reacted in This team screams for a trade   
    I don't believe "uninspired" play for a period here and there allows for 5 goals in total for the first 4 games.
    The typical remnants of the type of uninspired hockey you speak of, that does in fact sometimes plague the Red Wings, is the team winning a 1 goal game when they were up far more than that, or off to a typical slow start, getting behind, and coming back to win by a goal or two, or coming one goal short. The first 5 games were decisive victories played with a stifling defence and playing for a full 60+ minute game. The last two games were very uncharacteristic of the Red Wings, but that s*** happens to teams during the regular season as they're not robots. Maybe you confused the lethargic Wings with the lethargic crowds in the lower bowl at the Joe? I'm not sure but you certainly aren't shooting anywhere near on target with your assertion of how the Wings played the first 5 games.
