I expect to see some really good stuff from Bert and Mule on a line this year. They really seemed to click during game 4 of the Shark series resulting in an epic night for Franz. It would be an added bonus if Bert steps up and pounds on guys from time to time, like in this case.

Hello GDT, it's been tooooo long!! Lets go Red Wings!! Why in the hell is Crybaby and his boy-wonder side kick in tonight? I hope we beat these guys without our 1st line.

Hooon, I will be there too w/ my wife, son and his friend. GO WINGS!!

Great, thanks for the post! I am thinking Red Team - it's hard to say tho they look pretty balanced.

The StuFalski pair and the Tripple 5 pair! Ok I'm good... drop the puck now.

I would agree… LGW has some pretty knowledgeable people in general, both female and male.

My wife has a pink Wings jersey (signed by Jimmy Howard I might add) and she is pretty knowledgeable about the game. I wouldn’t classify her as a Puck-Bunny, rather a girl that loves hockey and the color pink. I think she looks pretty freaking awesome in it too. She just started getting into it a few years ago but she knows her Wings. She watched around 80 Wings games with me last year and gets into the crazy game day rituals that I have. I know that she isn’t just doing it as a “husband hang-on” thing either, it’s not her style. She even watches me play Rat-hockey on occasion. What is wrong with that?

I haven’t been this excited for a season to start since 2001. I thought I would share a positive article from NHL.com with all of you. It validates my excitement knowing that Babs is excited too. (He even told his wife - LOL) Red Wings ready to reclaim their former glory

I wonder how that will go down? "Hey dude, remember that time I bashed your head in to the boards... well I'm sorry about that, lets go win the cup now."

YES!!! (Doing the Happy Dance!!)

I agree, I'm getting a little worried myself. I don't want to lose a youngster with his speed and work ethic. There were times last season that I thought he was the only one giving it 100%. I would hate to seem him go. Trade bait is an interesting thought...

"The trading will continue until morale improves!!" Posted on NHL.com http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=533617 Question: If your a Hawk and get traded 2 weeks after winning the Cup, do you still get to take it home?

This posted on NHL.com about an hour ago... http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=533523 Is it wrong that I'm enjoying this?

Here are the full player stats for those traded. (In case anyone is obsessing about this like I am)

Thought this was interesting - Hawks will be without - (so far) Regular Season 70 Goals, 93 Assists Playoffs 22 Goals, 23 Assists If Madden goes it will add 10, 13 to Regular Season and 1, 1 to Playoffs.

Great movie!!

YES THIS!

Crow anyone?

Happy Birthday Capitan Lids!!

I am drinking my favorite game day drink - svedka and ginger ale out of my Red Wings glass. My wife and i will soon have our pre-game shot with our toast of, "Howie Be BIG!" Cheers guys!! LETS GO WINGS!!

LMAO!! What the hell? Esteef, we can always count on you..

This has been the longest day and I am only a fan, with silly pre-game superstitions and rituals. I wonder what the guys are going through right now. I guess this is where the calmness of all the vets to lean on comes in to play. LETS GO WINGS!!

Voted. That was such a sweet little flip, i will never get tired of seeing that.

I'm going to freaking BURST!!

Great job everyone!! We held up our end of the deal... the rest is up to the Wings.
