I want the man who never stops smiling.

Would have been a decent April fools joke if it tried to fool us into thinking the jerseys changed. 2/10

How does that change it? Every American Market is going to have trouble filling seats if the team sucks. Notice how the attendance numbers are going UP now that the Yotes are doing well?

I really don't have a problem with Leino, only that he was close to useless for the Wings. He couldn't skate, wouldn't hit, and was afraid to do the dirty work to get the puck. And he never seemed to be in the right spot. He was like the anti-Hossa when he was here.

What was the attendance for Wings games in the 70s and early 80s?

Epic post.

What is the music made for those commercials?

I don't think anyone is saying that. Are they? I kinda half paid attention to what was going on in this thread.

This. The Penguins bring ratings. The Wings bring ratings. The Hawks and Caps also bring in ratings. That is why they are always on. Honestly, some people need to stop drinking the haterade, step back, and take a look at the entire situation. It's a lot better than being bitter because the Penguins are on VS again. Also, VS stated that they were going to broadcast a number of games this and next week to hype up the playoffs a bit. That's why it was an FSN feed and not an actual VS broadcast.

I really haven't seen a difference.

This thread has potential.

Man what a ******* game. Bertuzzi has no hockey intellect. Franzen needs to finish on that one shot. Howard was awful. Defensive breakdowns were ridiculous. Offense was in Edmonton's zone all night. Bleh.

They would probably just smack each other in the head at the same time then simultaneously fall to the ice in agony.

And those few guys will be dead on. Where else does the guy have multiple cup-winning veterans, the best coach in the world, and the best staffing in the world?

You are aware I have been pretty reasonable with Howard's performance since the season started, right?

You seriously need to have a Crosby+love avatar, just to draw more attention to yourself. Would make these threads much more fun to watch. FOUND ONE!

That's our luck.

Panthers up 2-1 in the 3rd. Bout half a period to go.

I honestly don't know if they "care". All I know is the Pens are one of the hottest teams to watch which is a big reason why they are likely going to get another Winter Classic in the near future. I don't like it as a die-hard, but the NHL follows the money. Pittsburgh and Washington is a money matchup. Also like I said before NBC will never host a Winter Classic with a Canadian team in it unless there are two. NBC doesn't make money off Canadian viewers.

If you are going to be a ****** and attempt to belittle his opinion based on specific players he watches, then do it in a thread involving the player in question. If you really can't help it, then just ignore him. It makes your life much easier and everyone else doesn't have to watch you get all pissy because Carman the "Crosby troll" said something you don't like.

Unfortunately the likelihood is those teams you list won't do as good as a game involving Pittsburgh, Detroit, or Washington. Why do you think the recent Pitt/Det game had the best ratings in VS history?

Calgary is where they are because they have no offense to speak of. Kipper has been fine.

The problem is the team wasn't even close to the defensively responsible team of old most of the year. Howard has done a lot with little.

So basically if the Preds lose this next game the Wings have a chance to be a point up WITH a game in hand. GO PANTHERS!
