I'm not so sure why people think it will be so hard to get tickets. There will be 100,000+ tickets. If 'outsiders' can get tickets to the SCF, then this won't be a problem...you just have to pay attention and buy them. There were WC tickets on stubhub a week before the game this year in a much smaller venue. Granted, it's not the Wings/Leafs, it also wasn't in a 100,000+ stadium either. LOL @ the whoever said $50 face value was a lot. If that's 'expensive' to you...you might want to give up on going right now.

@GMR: You know it. We were loud and proud as usual. Our chants got pretty loud...could they be heard?

Wings! f*** yeah!

I'm not doing any GDT details, I just wanted us to have a place to banter about today's game. It felt like something was missing. HT001, feel free to make your own GDT and then the mods can delete/merge this one. Let's Go Wings! Set that club record on the way to #12!

My crew went from 8 to 2, but I don't care, as long as I'm there. Just got to my brothers in Irving, we will be heading down right after he gets off work at 5. Cant freaking wait!

I'm coming from SA too. I think we will be right below you, in section 102....Mule jersey. Just make sure you scream 'red' during the national anthem since they all scream 'star'. I just saw them two weeks ago and couldn't miss this one! Down here we only get so many opportunities to see them, you only live once!

That was beautiful how he slid around his team mate and BOOM. It was like the same technique Kronner uses for his hits, but in open ice and with a screen.

That's what vacation is for! I wish they were spaced out a bit more, but that just means I get to see our boys twice in 2 weeks. About to head out on my 300 mile drive, but it's soooooooo worth it. Let's go Red Wings!

No worries. I completely agree. I don't care which one, but get rid of the extra point for a loss OR give an extra point for regulation wins. Be consistent. I never liked it, but to have it actually affecting our standings based on absurdity...is bothersome to say the least.

It absolutely drives me mad that CHI and STL are ahead of us because of OTL points.

What a win. Another ROW win for us, and two in a row against little brother. Somebody needs to make a sound bite of Olczyk saying 'It was only a matter of time with the Red Wings dominating." We may very well never hear that again from that man.

Actually, he said the III was playing and the fourth was in the crowd. Anyone notice Homer turn around and look at the official before he even celebrated to make sure it wasn't waived off? I thought that was funny. I also thought it was funny how Olczyk called both of Chicago's shots 'chances'.

You may be onto something there.

Exactly. An entire thread at LGW to ***** about yet something else. Surprise! I come here for breaking Wings news and some of the community. Yet all I ever read when I open a thread is ***** ***** *****. They do actually show them sometimes, otherwise I'd have no clue who Karen Newman is. I've only been to one game at the Joe.

Why do people always find something to complain about? Do you people hate life that much? EDIT: Yes, I negged you both. Figured I'd make that public since nobody stops complaining about 'mystery negs'.

Knee-jerk reactions to everything. OMG, Z hasn't put up 40 goals, let's trade him! All the trade talk about Z (me thinks) stems from that thread someone started yesterday about somebody's brother's neighbor's friend's uncle's unborn fetus's cousin's father lives by Ken Holland and he has 'inside information'.

IIRC, they can't sell alcohol at college events. This would be an NHL event.

Congrats Jimmy. Now let's hope he doesn't have a bum knee after that collision. He didn't look like he was feeling good.

Welcome to the world of television. Sponsors pay for spots, they play them. Local commercials everywhere are horrible. If you have Center Ice you know what I mean. At any rate, it sure beats listening to Olczyk and Pierre on NBC any day. I tend to enjoy Keating's awkwardly quirky remarks.

To be honest, that completely went over my head. I was thinking of actual major penalties, not fighting majors so that makes much more since now that you pointed it out. We actually have 1 and the Devils have 11. Where did you get your numbers from? EDIT: Never mind, I see you looked at the 4-on-5 goals for to get those numbers. No idea why there are variances between those and the link below. http://www.nhl.com/i...ame=penaltyKill

Looking around on NHL.com stats, there doesn't seem to be any direct stat associated with penalty shot attempts. However, I did find a stat column in the 'goals for' stats that indicates how many penalty shot goals each team has. I'm going to keep looking for penalty shot attempts. http://www.nhl.com/i...ewName=goalsFor EDIT: After a little more digging, the only thing I can come up with is to see how many PST (penalty shots taken) by each player and total them for a team total. We have had zero, if that is what you are trying to figure out. On that note, holy crap, are there really that many majors in the season? I don't recall Detroit having 6 this year. http://www.nhl.com/i...wName=penalties

I bet Jimmy is excited. His first ASG. It's not like the goalies get worked that hard either, they only have to play 20 minutes. I'm sure it's not fun knowing you'll probably let in 3-4 with the talent on the ice though. Are they doing the draft again? Last year they didn't stop talking about how they were going to do it and this year I haven't heard a peep about the format. Maybe because I ignore most ASG related 'news'.

I really don't care or know anything about Philly fans except what I read, but to say they are the 'worst' is subjective and not a fact. However, it could be a fact that most people agree they are the worst fans. Look to the left as well, there is a cornholio too. In the comments there they were commenting on something about the perp with his hand on the girl's shoulder, but never clarified what it was. That was the only thing I saw, was the passionate couple behind him.

Babs hinted this morning if he wanted to be there he would have been. I think they let him take the weekend off. Really glad to see Jimmy get credit where it's due, but I'd still prefer both of our all stars rested.

I sure hope we have some Pasha Power tonight.
