    What happened to the official Wings site?

    It was fine until around the All Star break -- after that, they blacked out every Wings broadcast for me (except 2 of them) the rest of the season. I They changed the service from Game Center to "NHL.TV" suddenly, and the game was (literally) over for me. The support staff were clueless as to why all the games were blacked out where I live. Dallas Stars, sure... but Detroit? I cancelled the auto renewal, since I cannot see Wings broadcasts and that's why I was paying for it.

    Hockey Night Heroes: Great Canadian Forwards.

    what a great idea! I can't see any of the links, perhaps because of location (i.e. not Canada)? Anyway, I will google the content and I bet I can find the images elsewhere... thanks for posting!

    What happened to the official Wings site?

    NHL sucks (management) in general, if you ask me. As a 'remote' Wings fan here in central Texas, it is pretty much impossible to find decent coverage of any sort. Free streams are an option, but not a good one, in my opinion - risky and buggy. The NHL has jacked up the rights to the broadcasts so high that the local cable company here will not carry NHL Network... and I learned this week that they are no offering Center Ice. So, this is how the NHL attracts fans? Apparently. I never look at the NHL site anymore. They screwed up NHL Game Center last year, so I never saw a Detroit broadcast after January 2016. I guess I will be watching whatever games NBC steals from FSD. I cannot get NHL Network, so can't see those either. Are we having fun yet? I get Pee-air and that's about it. Kill me now.

    Don't need to be reminded about today, but I guess some people do.... I am very glad my parents didn't name me Chloe. Every other person I know has a dog is named Chloe, for some reason...

    Datsyuk Announcement to Officially Leave NHL

    He's happy to be at home, and not with the Wings -- they are not going to do well this year (per Ken Holland). So he went where he can win, at least.

    Mine? Random desire of the day: I really would love to visit Norway. Internet dreaming here.... so beautiful.
  10. Wow, I respected Wahhh's abilities... but forever knew he was a total jerk otherwise. Sometimes skill makes up for ass-hattery otherwise - he was pretty much in that category for me, but I love most goalies. He apparently thinks he failed the Avs, and I have to agree, in terms of his coaching and managerial ...uh... prowess.
  11. I didn't see this posted anywhere else. I always enjoyed his work with ESPN and hockey related broadcasts. Rest in peace.... http://detroitsportsnation.com/general/ddrysdale/breaking-news-espn-host-john-saunders-dies-at-age-61/78526/?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=facebook_page&utm_medium=Detroit%20Sports%20Nation&utm_content=BREAKING%20NEWS:%20ESPN%20host%20John%20Saunders%20dies%20at%20age%2061
  12. I miss winter. I hear from reliable sources that is IS coming, however. GOT

    Fox Sports DET to stream DRW games online

    Got my hopes up for a second. But no. I will still have to find another way to watch. Nothing new here. No NHL Network on cable. Their story is that the NHL wants an outrageous amount of money for the channel rights, so they refuse to ever add it to the tier. This is running battle for me, I beg every single year. NHL corrupted Game Center last season so that most of the games are blacked out or on NHL Network - which, again, I cannot ever access -- or NBC. Center Ice is iffy here, often there is only one feed, not home and away, so I have no choice but to listen and pay for the opponents' broadcasts... Dish and DirectTV would cost me several hundred dollars per month to get FSD. Hockey Hell. If you live in the regional broadcast area for FSD, get down on your knees and be thankful.

    Not recently, but cumulatively over the years, for sure. Hope you're OK. (((hugs))) The person below me is allergic to lavender and all those strong hippie herbal scents.

  18. Just when I conclude that people cannot get more vapid, ridiculous, and self-absorbed - someone launches Pokemon Go, and I am proved wrong once again. One way to thin the herd, as people walk off the edges of cliffs and buildings, into the paths of oncoming buses, etc. SMH

    Tootoo to TwoCity (CHI aka Second City)

    hmmm... I dislike Ott (prove me wrong, why don'tcha) and am very fond of Tootoo. Hate that he's a Hawk, when I am sure he would have much rather remained a Red Wing. Guy's gotta do what he must if he wants to play.

    Steve Ott signs 1 year, $800k deal with Detroit

    Let's see if Ott can overcome the thug he was with the Blues, because he wants to be a Red Wing. Who doesn't? Besides Stamkos, I mean. I dislike Ott only slightly less than I despise Lucic so I guess I will just be happy we didn't end up with that mess in a Winged Wheel. For some reason, I am having uncomfortable flash-backs of Hatcher, here. Let's hope for a better result this time.

    Stamkos to... Tampa

    Stevie Y is being hailed by pundits as the ninja GM... all things he touches turn to gold. I am sure he hope they turn to silver at some point in the near future. I am happy he is so successful, but can't help but feel bad for us.

    Datsyuk Announcement to Officially Leave NHL

    It really is... Mule cannot and should not attempt to come back - the 2008-2009 Mule is no longer available. That's who we need. I do think he tries to contribute as much as he can even though he can't play. He is apparently around the locker room, the guys love him and his humor - he's a sidelined cheerleader of sorts - and his heart is probably breaking that he cannot help otherwise.
