HankthaTank

If it's a hairline fracture, Hank plays. We already know about this guy, and as we read below from my sig, "he has a will tank deeper than anyone I've (Babs) been associated with." Not too worried especially with what poster Pat stated.

2 out of Hossa's last 3 teams this is a goal. I'll let you take a guess as to which one it isn't a goal for Honestly though, if anyone thinks the NHL actually HAD credibility before this is just being foolish. This only confirms it and truly makes me sick to my stomach.

Well, we see flashes of it from him and it seems he has been hitting the cages because if he can't play any sort of Major League defense behind the dish, he better hit. Great night Alex, I am still not sold on one outburst though. Opening Day tomorrow! 50 degrees and rain!!!!! even more then

Modano

FFS... I am at a loss right now. Losing this guy is just too much for this team to take and you could really tell once he went down. The offense was just in disarray. I will do my normal thing and find a happy place Dude is a freaking warrior and as someone said "an animal", so let's hope this isn't enough to hold him back.

Boom goes the dynamite.... Bring up Tardif too along with the other obvious ones, Mursak, Emmerton, Janik

Newsworthy, award-winning stuff. As always, thank you Wysh for the great contrib

And look at this English major's wet dream. Ignorance must also be bliss here.

Fans of the Detroit Tigers during the 80's through the 90's would shout "Louuuuu" everytime Lou Whitaker would come up to bat. That was cooler

Just resting up I assume.

For 800k I would probably take him as a more than serviceable backup. Only thing is, if we can have Joey for that price, then keep him.

Good and again, I am glad the WINGS have a different philosophy with games than some do. A divisional, original 6 game against a team like Chicago? Yeah, show up.

And hopefully the Wings feel differently than some fans here. You play to win the game and I hope they do just that.

Some other game notes: DET is 32-25-8-0 all-time vs CAR/HFD DET is 13-18-1-0 all-time at CAR/HFD DET is 10-0-1 in their last 11 games vs Eastern Conference opponents DET is 49-3-4 the last 56 times they've scored 4+ goals in a game Only DET hat trick ever recorded vs CAR/HFD - I. Boldirev, 2/20/83 P. Datsyuk scored his first career NHL goal on 10/30/01 at CAR K. Draper registered his 100th career NHL assist on 11/29/02 at CAR T. Holmstrom played in the 500th game of his NHL career on 1/2/04 at CAR J. MacDonald (DET) was a teammate of E. Staal (CAR) on the 2000-01 Peterborough Petes (OHL)

I stated at the end I am not huge on salary stuff... I then went on to say I realized it was there as plain as day in the article and called myself out on it. some people and their holier than thou attitudes...

Some great matchups in there. Could be upsets throughout with the way those are shaping up. Bring on the 2nd season!!!

1a. Stevie Y 1b. Mr. Hockey 2. Nick Impossible to rank one or the other above. Both have had an amazing impact on the game and the city. We have had the pleasure to see Stevie and Nick be our Captains in the past 25+ years with Hank on the way. What team has seen a succession of Captains such as that? Crazy...

Nope because I am positive that I am still hotter than what is in that thread... The person below me was stuck in some sort of traffic today

Exactly, I mean just look at THE HAIR...

Broken record over here but, bring it on Hawks.... Can't wait for the home game on Friday though. I shall be there and downtown all day for Opening Day, yikes

They mock you...

freep Pretty good article which has many good points to it. Well done Helene Still doesn't go against many other's points that he has been pretty inconsistent, but this is Abby's time to shine. Just glad we have him on our roster this time of year. Also from the article..

2 games in and it has been our best line since being together so you are a tad late on the prognosis but it could always go south quick. Hopefully they keep it going.

Before you answered it yourself, I was ready for it... Son of a ***** stole my line.

Hopefully the Wings show up.... Was too easy
