Get Rid of Mickey

I've always thought Trotz looked like and obese vampire.

Howard needs to get up a whole lot quicker, but Helm totally muffed getting that puck out.

Not a fan. First thought was this:

I'd like to see a line of Eaves, Franzen, and Zetterberg. Eaves' first two goals tonight came when that trio was out on the ice and Franzen set him up nicely on both goals.

That goal was bulls***. Blatant interference 2 seconds before they scored.

I don't think they're a rival to the Red Wings or anything even close, but you know that they're one of only three teams in the West with 13 wins right now, right? They're actually playing really good hockey at the moment. Much better than "CHL" level. Get up to date and don't just let their past failure dictate what you think of them.

While I was looking at the standings for this year the other day, I came across a really interesting stat. Out of the top 5 teams in the West, Detroit is the only team to have not played any teams from the Eastern Conference, while the other teams have all played 5-7 games against what many to believe is a much inferior Eastern Conference. Here are the records. 1. LA : 24 pts : 5-0-0 against Eastern Conference 2. Det : 23 pts : 0-0-0 against Eastern Conference 3. Van : 23 pts : 5-1-1 against Eastern Conference 4. Anh : 22 pts : 4-1-1 against Eastern Conference 5. Stl : 21 pts : 5-0-0 against Eastern Conference What does this mean? Well, it could mean absolutely nothing, but what I want it to mean is that Detroit is getting the more quality wins right now against the opponents that really matter, while the other teams are beating up on the other conference and playing mediocre hockey against teams from their division/conference. Like I said, it could mean nothing, but I thought it was interesting enough to at least point out.

That article was so stupid. I get more and more turned off to Puckdaddy every day. Did he really throw in a "not..." at the end of the fight call? Holy smokes.

They played about 8 different Metallica songs last night. Even doubling up on a few of them. I was like ...but then I was like

His kids play hockey at the rink that I work at. He's there just about every weekend. Funny story actually. A few weekends ago a lady locked her keys in her car and was asking some of us for help. One of my co-workers pointed and said, "Joey Kocur"s out in the lobby, you can ask him if he'll punch through the window for ya." She took him a little too seriously and went and asked Kocur if he'd do it. He just laughed and said, "Maybe if we were in Detroit..." I've joked with him once or twice, but am usually too scared that his hand is just gonna come flying straight at my face.

He can still do this.

Holy smokes! That one handed spin was pretty incredible.

I was having trouble thinking of a forum name and I had been going on and on that day about how I just wanted FSN to "Get Rid Of Mickey". Don't get me wrong, I love Mickey, but sometimes he just drives me crazy with some of the stuff he says!

My grandparents live 5 minutes away from the Devil's Soup Bowl. Love that place. Awesome that you brought it up.

Excited to hear this. Hope he can ditch the injury bug and have a consistent season. I think he can really surprise a lot of people this season now that he'll be more comfortable with his role on this team.

I didn't give you a negative! Someone else must not like you. While my comment was meant to stir the pot a little, I wanted to come in with a bang more than anything. I also can't stand Mickey Redmond as an commentator. Just my opinion though.

I honestly had no idea who the guy was until the video that I posted popped up on a related video that I was watching. From what I gathered it appeared that hits like that were a pretty normal thing for him. I've been lurking pretty hard on this forum for the past couple months and just couldn't understand the overt obsession with him. He just doesn't seem to fit the "Red Wing" mold to me. Plus he was a Penguin.

So not liking a player that head hunts and caused a career altering injury to one of our players is considered trolling?
