    9/29 Exhibition GDT : Maple Leafs 0 at Red Wings 3

    Nice cheap shot on Weiss there. Be nice to see the PP convert. Never thought about it, but you have a point there. Nosek missed a sweet chance there.

    If anyone has a link to a stream, please pm me. Nhl network has Rangers/Flyers and Center Ice doesn't have the preseason games.
  3. Based on what I saw in the prospects tourney, I like the signing of G.I. Joe Hicketts. Dabura should be pleased.
  4. Maybe somebody should make Scuderi pay for the hit. He knew damn well where the glass was.

    9/23 Exhibition GDT : Red Wings 1 at Blackhawks 2 (OT)

    I was out running some errands with my wife (I had to order a new tux for my conducting/performing gigs), and we had stopped at a coffee shop that had wifi so I thought I'd try to catch a stream to help me tune out some of the worst karaoke I'd ever heard. Thanks though.

    Just got the stream from reddit going before the second. Not surprised to hear the comments about Pitt announcers. They have sucked hard since Mike Lange was replaced. Thanks for the updates.

    Dekeyser signed. 2 yrs $2.187 million AAV

    Good news. I wonder if some of the delay was trying to see if Alfie was going to be able to play to make sure they could sign both. Is DD RFA or UFA after this?

    2014 Prospects Tournament and Training Camp (Sept. 12-23)

    That second line could be a formidable Czeching line if I'm not mistaken.

    FanSided.com's All-Time Red Wings Team (as a 23-man roster)

    He wasn't a Wing long enough per the article criteria

    potential team names for las vegas!

    The "spicy" comment seems to have been missed by most. Baron Harkkonen is displeased. I'm a sci-fi geek in general, not a fanboy of one particular franchise. (Though I did consider writing a musical combining the Marcellus Shale gas drilling industry that has cropped up in my area with Battlestar Galactica for "Frack! The Musical")

    potential team names for las vegas!

    Mu'ad dib? A bit spicy for me. Or maybe the Sarlaac to keep with the Star Wars reference instead of switching to Dune. (As long as there isn't a Seattle Gungans thrown in the mix).

    They'd be pretty good with the cross checks, though.

    potential team names for las vegas!

    The Vegas Flush Or, as I had in the other thread before this one, the Vegas Pawn Stars with Rick Harrison as GM and Chumlee as the mascot. Kount's Kustoms can do up the Zamboni.

    Las Vegas rumored to get an expansion team

    The person below me game...

    We finished last school year on June 20, I've been back for in-service since Thursday, kids come back tomorrow. Such is life when you had 14 snow days. It's the shortest summer break of my life, as a student or an educator. The person below me is a BBQ addict.

    Ice Bucket ALS Challenge: Bettman edition

    Our faculty just did it, I'm the one towards the end of the line with the Dream Theater shirt. Over $350 so far, staff can donate until Friday. Not as good as the administration with the front bucket loader but still for a good cause. The video (and the administration's) is on the school web page, www.masd.info
  21. Great post, krsmith! You've hit a lot of the salient points that beeded hitting. I actually think this streak is more impressive than the Bruins' streak because they never had to contend with the salary cap the Wings do. Maintaining their level of success from the pre salary cap era to now is impressive, and to sustain it is moreso, imho. Today's NHL has been striving for parity amongst teams for years, and the case could be made that, as a result, it has, in some ways, become a parody of itself. Ken Holland has done a good job steering the Wings through the transition period, despite everything. I wouldn't be surprised if the cost of a trade is higher for the the Wings with any given team than anyone else because so many folks seem to want to see the Wings fail, and no GM wants to be blamed for being the guy that helped the Wings climb back on top. The injuries the Wings have had the last few years were ridiculous, and at this point, it almost feels like probability is swinging back towards a healthy Wings squad this year. Kr and Dabura have both made great points, and the negativity is getting old. Am I happy about the Cleary signing? No, but I can respect why Ken did it (MUCH better than how the Sharks crapped on Thornton and Marleau, and I'm no fan of either, but that was bush league). I am hoping Cleary plays well in the games he's in (that ice bucket video was top notch). The prospect pool is the best I've seen since I started watching the Wings back in 1983 as a 12 year old. The future is bright, imho, and the team is going to hit an upswing soon. Let's enjoy the ride.

    2014 Offseason League Signings and Trades

    Anybody else see the irony of the pic for the article on his signing at tsn has him prone on the ice?

    Ice Bucket ALS Challenge: Bettman edition

    My principal liked the idea, but after his predecessor challenged him the next day, he went way above and beyond, roping in several other administrators to do it in a BIG way and donate $1,000. Video is on the school homepage, www.masd.info I, and any other brave faculty members, will be doing it Tuesday during lunch of our inservice.
