Kelly Chase, Tony Twist, Backes, nickol, jackman just to name a few. these guys hate the wings. Being from st. louis I have relatives that run into or know these guys pretty well. The blues alumni love jackman for his aggressive play against the wings and his hatred for them. I get crap for wearing my wings shirts all the time. During game days against the Red Wings the local ESPN radio show calls it "Punch a Wings fan in the face day". I get a lot of crap for wearing Wings socks in pick up games. fans around here just do not like anything to do with the wings. Some places that I play I can't even wear anything Red Wings without getting cheap shots or just completely ignored on the ice. There is a lot of hatred and will only get worse if the new playoff format is approved. The good thing is that when going to blues vs Red Wings games if you are respectful and knowledgable the blues fans leave you alone or will have a decent conversation with you. Rarely have I ever had a problem going to the games, gentle ribbing every once in a while.

It is "Punch a Red Wings fan in the face day" here in st. louis. I wear my Lids jersey to try to tempt blues fans. This was started by a radio station a while back, the announcer hates the Wings.

just fixed it thanks, didn't even notice

I don't care where it's played I'll be there. As far as the opponet I think Avs, Pens, Bruins, Blues (if we are still in the West). I am a bit bias towards the blues because I'd have some buddies who would make the trip with me to watch the game.

I was sitting at work on tuesday reading the board and seeing that tickets were only $100. I started looking immediately for flights to detroit to make it there and back and not miss work since i have little vacation time from work left. the flight schedules did not work in my favor so i had to stay in st louis and watch the game. it was so disappointing not being able to go to the game, but loved game 6 anyway. I'm an odd man out in St. Louis, everyone hates the wings here.............. and they should

going to the game with some of my friends who had extra tickets. don't know why they invited me when they know i'm a huge wings fan. got my Lids CCM A jersey all ready. every time i go to a blues wings game there is a decent showing of wings fans which is good to see.

at least you don't have blues announcers, these guys are clueless sometimes. thank god they hired panger last year. i've had to watch these games on mute sometimes.

i live in st louis, so i hate losing to the blues. wore my Lidstrom jersey to work and have my zetterberg, 2 yzerman, shanny, feds, and practice jersey hanging in my sports room. can't wait for this game, we need a win for my sake.

Am I too late, just got internet up and running at my new house and had to put all of my Wings stuff up in my man cave.

How about Freddy? since the whole nightmare on Helm Street

I'm gettting a Helm jersey. GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

I'm pretty sure that a lot of people were saying earlier this year that Dats is our best player because he can play with anyone. He will break out people, he's playing great d and the other teams best defensive players are always out there against him. Have some patience it's only a matter of time, and if he doesn't start putting up the offensive numbers I can live with the other lines producing. It won't matter who we put with Dats the other teams top defenders will be out there.

I for some reason can't bring myself to hate Toews. If he scores the series winning goal then I think I might be able to turn up the hate, but the guy is a hell of a player

It was determined that she had her head down and was admiring her pass, good old Bob was just finishing his check. The league reviewed the play and thought a summer suspension will be long enough

my dad use to work the parking lots at the old arena in St. Louis as a second job. When I was little I use to go in during the second periods and watch the Blues. I remember hating the North Stars and Blackhawks as a kid in the late 80's early 90's. I always wanted a hockey jersey, but never really had any money and my parents wouldn't buy me one. One night the Blues had free jersey night for kids 18 and under once again I got to go in during the 2nd, but the usher and one of the attendents wouldn't let me have a jersey because I did not pay even though there were boxes upon boxes of them just sitting their. The ownership and management group in St. Louis back then really sucked. I had to find a different way to get a jersey so one of my friends that i played hockey with in the school yard had two extra beat up jerseys. I traded him three baseball cards for an ironed on logo jersey. Then one night while watching the Blues on tv I saw my jersey. Since that day back in 91 I've been a Red Wings fan. I now have 9 jerseys, 5 pucks, 5 Stanley Cup glasses, 4 posters, a blanket, the DVD set, 6 hats, 10 t-shirts, and just about anything else I can get my hands on that is Red Wings.

Happy Birthday Stevie. Greatest player ever

Sammy is perfect for the 4th line. He's going to shoot everything, why not have two guys that can go get his shots that miss the net by 5 feet. I see sammy as the type of guy that needs to get moved to down to get some motivation to improve his game. I'm glad they took him off the power play last game. He responded with a lazer shot in the top corner later in the game. Hopefully the 4th line can play solid and with sammy on it I think it gives them a chance to put up some points.

Keep them to just two guys. Don't give them anything

German girls in all threads from now on

I think that 1000 post thread gave us some good mojo

I don't think the ducks have much of an option. they will get exposed putting their 4th line out there. They simply do not have the talent to keep up in this series. The only hope they have is get as many points out of getz, perry, ryan, and temu as possible. I'm not surprised at the amount of minutes Getz logged at all, but at some point having played all season long and play the majority of the time in the San Jose series you have to think he will start to run out of gas. unless he has a great conditioning coach I don't see him keep his legs all series. I really think with the depth that the Wings have we will control the 3rd periods of this series. I think the opening 10 minutes of each of these games will be very important. We have to come out quicker than last game, if it wasn't for the stupid hit by Brown I think we see a whole different game. I hope the ducks keep the single file line going to the box and keeps the pk on their toes all game.

weak goal by Hiller
