Oh yeah and Mason and Rinne are not elite goaltenders. So then how do you rank Howard then, Godly? Cause he ain't even close but that has a lot to do with team defense. Whoever stated that is spot on.
I'd say Rinne is an elite goalie. At least so far this year.

ov is lucky he didn't get a lacerated jugular

And it'd be nice but at the same time it's the city Detroit and I don't have much faith that the Bettman marketing team will be in favor.
In any event, while I hope for both, I think titanium2 may be correct - I really don't see them striving to promote it in terms of a marketing campaign, solely based on Detroit's situation as a city. I've only visited once since being born there (saw the Datsyuk/Bertuzzi awesome shootout goals against the Hawks last year) and the ciy itself wasn't so great. We only found a couple restaurants that were open on a Saturday at about 6 p.m. - the Hard Rock, and I think some little burger shop named Checker's , or something to that effect. It's owned by 2 sisters or whatever. But that's just unacceptable. With that being said, I hope it happens, as Comerica would be an awesome venue...or worst case scenario, it gets moved to Ann Arbor and a new record for attendance can be set for an NHL game. Do you think Babcock & Co. would be receptive to allowing such candid behind the scenes access during the regular season? I think that was a point of contention going into the production of this past Winter Classic 24/7. A "Hard Knocks" edition for the Red Wings would be AWESOME...I'd love to see the trials and tribulations of a Tatar/Smith/Mursak/whoever else trying to make the club next year.
I can tell you guys spend a lot of time in Detroit......And at any rate like some have mentioned already we've successfully had a Super Bowl and other events and besides if the winter classic can be held in Buffalo it sure as hell can be held in Detroit..

dont like them. There current jerseys are so much better its funny how some of you love every thing tampa does just cause yzerman went there just sayin..
They're pretty good. I like their Jersey. The logo is a good look there.
Correct this guy too, brah.

I have wet dreams about him playing for the winged wheel, he's tough as a two dollar steak and consistently puts his body on the line to block a shot or to stick up for teammates. Uber-respect for him
Plus he's from Michigan

I know the salary cap forces teams to keep players that are not truly NHL caliber. For example, the Wings have Todd Bertuzzi and Tomas Holmstrom. They constantly take dumb penalties and give the puck away like it is the object of the game.
I stopped reading after this sentence.

Their "goal song" alone puts them in a category of idiocy that ranks highest in the NHL, to me. I picture them skipping around the arena like a bunch of goofy kids. Der-de-der-der-de-der....
The song is about some skank who likes shoes, for heaven's sake.We can't really talk crap about another team's goal song when ours is Enrique Inglesias- I Like It. Just sayin'. They should really change that.

I think we need him to be, but I guess we can replace "need" with "would appreciate"?
Your signature has a typo, you're not exactly a grade A Grammar Nazi, eh?

I'm probably going to miss the first period of this game because of the icy hell that is Southfield Fwy and 696. It took me 2 hours to get to work this morning, I don't see that changing much on the return trip.
I say Wings take this 3-2, Cleary/Dats/Fil. Babcock has been on Filpulla's ass to shoot more, so I'm hoping he follows that advice tonight.
f*** f*** f*** I'm supposed to be on my way to the game as well, but that's not happening

It's all up in the air, i'm not sure if they'll even retire Lidstrom's jersey... Stevie Y was a no brainer to retire, I personally think Lidstrom's should be retired though. As for osgood, maybe... but I don't think they will. Another question is who is going to take captain when Lidstrom actually does retire... i'm not trying to steal your thread, I just don't personally feel like making a new one for that.
Dude... I said I certainly think he'll go up. Calm down.
No you didn't

Detroit is currently a non-livable city. Can you really blame the guy? Cities themselves can attract players, i.e. New York, LA. Detroit doesn't attract s***. Look at the Tigers. They have to over pay for free agents. The Wings would have to do the same if it weren't for their rabid success.
Lol Detroit is not a non-livable city and I can tell from your post that you listen to 97.1 way too much

Pretty much every seat at the Joe is decent although there are a few terrible seats you can buy for a HUGE discount (just seat skip anyways).
As for the autographs, this isn't Minor league baseball brah, I don't think that's possible.

Excited to see how Howard plays tonight, Go Wings!

Ya I agree with you! I still like the idea of Delta Centre (I know it has been used in the NBA before, but not anymore.) With Delta Airlines being the major airline in Detroit now, it makes sense. But another one to consider, and this could have a little to do with Grand Rapids being associated with the Wings, how about Meijer Gardens? Here's a few more to chew on:
Amway Place
Better Made Arena
Art Van 1/2 Off Centre (
)Bing Steel House
Belle Tire Hub
Deja Vu Centre
You have other companies like: Delphi, Dow Chemical, Faygo, Gordon Foods, Guardian Industries (Ironic!), Jiffy Mix, Penske Automotive, Roush Performance, Whirlpool, Ally, Lear, Visteon, Spartan Stores. Then again, Comerica Bank is now headquartered in Dallas, so who knows! I say Illitch should dump Comerica as soon as the contract expires just for being yet another Michigan born company that turned its back on us!
Idk maybe it's just me but I think it's weird that you want to have a corporate arena name.
-
Not to pick on you, but I keep seeing names like this. It will be something outside of Illitch Holdings, because he won't make any money off of a name if it comes from his own business.
Why wouldn't Illitch Holdings possibly take advantage of such a marketing scheme? Look at Ford Field, same thing.
Also I still love the Joe no matter what most people think and I agree it will be very hard to say goodbye.
