holy cow. what a start..

Haha. I've no idea. This is only my first game. I'll tell you once I get the hang of it

This looks like my Arsenal in soccer.. bleh.

A friend of mine.. I am pretty new to hockey overall. To not get this thread OT, here's more details if you're interested http://www.letsgowings.com/forums/topic/73384-new-fan-need-advice/

I am excited to get my first season as a Wings fan underway

Hey guys This might be a little weird but here it goes.. hope I don't make myself look like a massive fool. Anyway, the story is that I moved to the States couple of years ago and one of my close friends is a Wings fan. I got to know a bit about hockey and the Wings from him, but it was all a bit bits and pieces. I'm a soccer fan and I mainly follow soccer, but I watched an NHL game here and there. The Olympics 2010 was what really got me hooked though. So I was gonna watch the 11-12 season, but a lot of personal issues got in the way etc. So I figured 12-13 season will be the first season for me to start and, naturally, I'd become a Red Wings fan through the ties with my close friend.. but we all know what happened with that. I am honestly a lot in the blue about hockey, the NHL etc. I know a little bit about the draft system because of the MLS, but not too much. But I figured anyway I want to make an effort and become a fan overtime and being swayed by my friend it was always going to be this team. So can the fans of this team help me out? What do I really have to know? What should I read? And any helpful links to learn fully the rules of the NHL? Help me get into this sport and this team!

Ok guys, so can you recommend to me some twitter accounts to follow to be up to date with the news and just overall good accounts?

Yes.. And I'm an Arsenal fan, if that tells you anything you need to know about the state of my mind in recent times. Thanks, will check it out.

Is it this one? http://www.amazon.com/Detroit-Red-Wings-Celebration-Champions/dp/B0002WZRUO this one says it's 4 discs, but couldn't see anything else. Ha. Sounds like the most reasonable advice

Ha, funny thing, Crashnburnluder, I'm from Lancaster, PA, too! Just found that I do have NHL Network on my cable TV, so I'll certainly be watching some games available. Thanks guys, I wasn't sure what to expect when I made that thread but I feel welcome here and good so it's a good start.

The other day I was watching a lot of "goal review" videos on YouTube and there were some cases where it was inconclusive whether the puck crossed the line etc. and even for a total NHL noob I was shocked that those guys would say things like "well I'll be shocked if it's not given as a goal" even though clearly there was no way of saying something was over the line.. just kinda made me question that already. Thanks. The video was great, some rules knocked out in a heartbeat As for going to an NHL game, the closest venue is a bit far away but I'll probably do that some day and see what happens.
