    Nah, don't love them/don't hate them. The person below me thinks this is a funny way to make donuts, and would try them out for breakfast.

    Controversy in Pittsburgh

    How are you not Sidney Crosby's public relations director? Seriously. Firstly, there is no grey area in this instance with the Intent to Blow the Whistle rule, which I do hate by the way. However, the referee blew the whistle when he lost sight of the puck and before the puck crossed the line. That should not have been ruled a goal, no questions asked. I don't like the intent to blow the whistle rule and I hate not stopping play unless the puck is completely covered or you are fully sure, but what the hell is the ref supposed to do there, he has to go by his best judgment. Secondly, you've probably been told this a plethora of times and either do not get it, or you do get it and you purposefully ignore what people tell you and just contiunally enjoy getting slammed on. This is a Red Wings forum. They played the Penguins in the Stanley Cup Finals two years ago in recent past. The majority in here do not like the Penguins, if not everybody in here doesn't like them. Plenty don't like their captain all that much either. Not because he's one of the best players in the game at present, but largely because of his other attributes/lack thereof. He was voted the whiniest player in the league by NHL players, he's probably as equally hated in the obsessive fashion by fans across the league as much as he is liked. That does not equal being jealous of him whatsoever. That just means people get that he is a great talent, but dispise him because he acts like a whiney punk way too much for our liking. Got it? Get it through your head. If you want to like Crosby, cool, I'm not stopping you and I don't have a problem with it. Continually acting surprised though at the reactions you get when you are involved in conversations about him is incredibly naive and stupid, and don't pretend like you don't notice. See above why.

    Flames Fans Blame Refs

    Because that's what die-hard fans do, in any team for any sport. You're always going to have people that seek out a scapegoat. I can guarantee you if this happened to the Wings, a lot of nuts fans with homer goggles on would be doing the same thing, whether the calls were fair or not or whether the fans were smart or not. Just understand that not all Flames fans would be like this, the same with all of Red Wings fans.

    Nobody at the Joe

    Economic conditions, corporate suits who purchase lower bowl tickets and don't go to the games, etc. Same as every year. And plenty of professional franchises are struggling all across the board. The NBA New Orleans Hornets down here are off to an 11-1 start and I believe only 1 or 2 games have been sold out so far.

    Flames Fans Blame Refs

    Only a matter of time before the majority in here blames the officiating for a Wings loss this season. The officiating and/or rules are just that bad, and junk calls happen for all teams across the board.

    Kings pursuing Iginla?

    As intense as he is, I still just do not get how he cannot temper himself sometimes. Again we saw him wilt. I'm all for passion and being firey, but starting stuff in a 1-goal game late in the tilt when the outcome isn't even close to being decided is not the time I think.

    Without if possible. It's sometimes a pain in the rear to pay off a lot of credit card debt at once, but if I have the money cushion to do so (which I do), every now and then you bite the bullet and pay large chunks off. or

    Taking the day off today, but killed it in recent workouts. Early Wednesday morning I burned 525 calories in 1/2 hour, early Thursday morning ran just under 5 miles, early Friday morning I burned 530 calories in 1/2 hour.

    Kings pursuing Iginla?

    Say what you want about him blowing gaskets from time to time, heck we saw it a few seasons ago in the playoffs against us, I'd take him in a heartbeat if the timing/salary was right. Not producing like he used to, but he still plays with a lot of emotion and intensity and would be great for a support scoring role here on a 2nd/3rd line where he isn't the main guy being counted on. His current price tag though is pretty hefty.

    Indeed it was. Dry bland humor can be fun. Okay now laugh hysterically.... All right chuckle..... Smile at least? I know your face can't hurt that badly when you smile. Yeesh, tough crowd... Oh and I'm still waiting for your CONTRIBUTION in the other thread of the question I asked to you about you getting all worked up singling out Modano only for Ritola not being here. Way to continue to dodge the questions Sunshine.

    Not really. The person below me thinks the concept of a frog and a pig getting married is pretty obnoxious, even though it worked out pretty well in the Muppets.

    I know I am, but I'm assuming you are talking about something/someone else. Sometimes when I go to a grocery store and see somebody lugging in 30 carts at once I yell to the guy, "Somebody's probably gonna want to use one of those!!!"

    Why is St. Louis doing so good?

    We're currently in 1st/2nd place in the conference I think. I have no doubt we're an a** kicking team. Neverthless, counting on 4-goal outbursts to win you every game is unrealistic, regardless of if we're playing St. Louis, the Islanders, the Maple Leafs, or Walla Walla Washington. On paper, probably should've taken this Blues team to school for the whole game and win by 4 or 5 without much of a sweat. Didn't happen that way though.

    Games on FS-D+

    For the Detroit area in specific, I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but I can bet you people in here will be biased in here saying that people like the Red Wings more than watching the Pistons. May be true in the end of things, but that's just by strong opinion by a large amount of people in a Red Wings forum in all likelihood. I personally like hockey over basketball in terms of viewing. I'm assuming most people in here do as well. However, in general, a lot more people identify with basketball a lot more than hockey, whether we like it or not, whether it is fair or not. It isn't as expensive, there's easier access, etc. The Pistons being a local professional team deserve their fair share of games as well, no matter how much we in here might pout and moan about it and not like basketball as much or at all.
