I don't like Iginla much, but I don't really care he's not going. I will admit the first thing that came to mind was that they should suspend him, but I was just saying that b/c of all the fuss about Zata. I don't really think anything of it and I can completely sympathize with his situation.

I don't like the octopus one. The right side of the mask is ok with the winged wheel, but I prefer his winter classic one over it. Still nowhere near as cool as some of the other masks on this site. EDIT: I didn't even catch the DL on the chin. When I saw it earlier I thought it was just another D. Thought it was rather repetitive then. Makes sense now.

Okay, so who is even serving as backup to Pearce in GR now? I saw GR play the other day here in San Antonio, the one game Tatar was back down, he scored a goal. Anyways, back on topic, Pearce played a great game, making 40~ saves. GR won 5-2. So, umm, who is his backup now? In this case, it is something to fret about with: Osgood, Howard, McCollum...

That's badass, and not just because I am from Texas. Did anybody see that James Reimer has Don Cherry and Ron MacLean on his mask? LOLz. http://daveart.com/mask-gallery/set/72157625558746946/default.aspx On a side note, this guy dave is pretty damn good with a brush. Looks like Larsson is the only Wing to have used him, at least according to his gallery. http://daveart.com/mask-gallery/set/72157623180300604/default.aspx http://daveart.com/mask-gallery/set/72157622285764243/default.aspx

Yep, these suck. I was also optimistic about it at first, but was worried it wouldn't work well because how do you relate superheroes to hockey? I'd be happier with Casey Jones wearing a Wings jersey.

What a DB.

Would love to see Flip make it back into the lineup tonight, but not at the expense of aggravating his groin again. 3-1 Wings, Bertuzzi getting TWO! Yeah, how about that?

You guys are crazy, count up 'all those times' Stu makes a mistake and compare them to the pucks he stops on the goal line, literally. I'm not saying he's perfect, but he is definitely better to have out there than Kindl. Nothing against Kindle, he's just no Disco Stu. Hossa doesn't need you to get hurt. He seems to do it all on his own.

And hit somebody every once in a while!

Draper had groin surgery at the beginning of the season and was out for how long? Assuming this is not an over assumption, that wouldn't be good for the Oz, he was starting to look okay in net. With Ozzy on the edge, Stu for 6-8, and now Filppula out until at least next week, why are our boys dropping like flies? Who angered the hockey gods?

That's why they play them. Never know what is going to happen in this stick fight of a game. Tough game tonight too. Hope the boys are ready to play. As Babbles would say, catch-up hockey is losing hockey. 2-0 Wings after the first; 3-2 final, Wings. It's the only way we have a chance tonight.

I don't even have words to express how ludicrous that hit was. Then the zebras call it a deuce for roughing? Stuart is a HUGE loss on our blue line.

Indeed, he was just getting in the groove too. Never know how long a groin will sideline someone either. Look at how long drapes was out.

We'll have to suit it up for some USA vs Canada action and settle this once and for all!

You can't really hang him out to dry for this year, look at the way the entire Devils squad is playing. When your team is doing that bad, it's destined to show on every players stat sheet. Hell, we established in the other NJ thread that Brodeur has been pulled more times this year than he has wins. Yeah. They could have got a lot more for him would he not be a UFA after this year. The Devils got what they could get for him while they could. That's all there is to it.

Do you play online?

I just had the best idea on how to settle this. Who has NHL 11 for Xbox?

Oh so now you think you're the best at lacrosse, too?

That depends on what lineup you are looking at. Hasn't he played 2nd line the last 2 games?

I couldn't agree with this more. Part of what I said earlier, that people buying authentic could actually do more to drive prices up...that is speaking with your wallet. I didn't say what someone should spend, but I will concede I don't agree with the merchant pricing. Either way, I agree with what you said. When I read this thread, I took from it that people were talking down on those of us who buy cheaper jerseys simply because we can't afford authentic. There was a lot of negative talk about fakes. Like we're a stigma or not a good enough of a fan because we stick out with our fake jerseys. I realize this isn't everyone's opinion, but it certainly seemed to be of some. Wear what you're gonna wear, so long as it's red (or white) and has a winged wheel you're good with me!

Amen to that. Thanks for the links. Never seen that place until this thread, maybe one day I'll splurge and get something everybody appreciates.

That is awesome. Makes for a horrible travel day, though. EDIT: Oh, I guess they are leaving tomorrow morning now. Still epic.

You're entitled to your opinion, that's fine. Not complaining! And an island is affordable to Bill Gates. Once again, not complaining! I was specifically referring to complaining about you wearing an authentic jersey. You won't hear it from me, whereas people seem to have a problem with me wearing knock offs. Good job taking s*** out of context. Technically, yes I am complaining about the prices of jerseys, because they are ridiculous. Of course s*** is marked up, but not by 5,000%. You're right, in fact, I am bothered by the extreme markup that greedy companies use just to inflate their profits. Some notables: Gas, cable/Internet, cell phones. Yeah, all extremely marked up and bulls***. I mean, if someone is willing to pay it, why not? In all actuality, it's people that buy authentic that drive the prices up, because they know someone is willing to pay it, why not keep charging? I would be willing to bet my bottom dollar that the majority of hockey fans think jerseys are way overpriced.

All work and no Wings hockey makes rrasco go crazy

Or he just wants to keep his stats from getting any worse. 5-18-1, holy cow!
