    Seraph got a reaction from NerveDamage in Whose autograph is this? Can someone help me?   
    It's definitely Kozlov. The sloppy swoopy thing that eventually becomes a 13 seals it.

    Seraph got a reaction from BadgerBob in NHL Chooses Las Vegas for 17-18 Expansion   
    This is just so the boys can party on the road in Vegas for a couple years. I am thinking the away team will have a bad record there playing on a hangover. Then they will move somewhere deserving.
    What a blunder. Seattle or Portland are open markets. They are so bored there that soccer is huge. Now that's a statement.

    Sad sad day to be a fan.
    We will all need to go through our grieving process and eventual acceptance of the horrible name and rooftop logo.

    These jerseys are horrible - who the hell thinks up these designs? Seriously? The logo is good yes, but the rest of the jersey is just awful.

    I can start rumors too. Mine will probably be more true: Holland will do nothing all summer. You heard it here first, folks.

    If there is doubt and discussion about whether a jersey should be retired, it's not going to happen. As you can see, plenty of doubt about 91 and 30 here.
    No one here was posting threads to discuss whether 19 or 5 would go up in the rafters.

    I hope that is a fourth forward and not a natural defender.

    Seraph got a reaction from dirtydangles in Need help selecting Yzerman jersey to buy   
    SportsK all the way. Amazing site. I recently bought a really cool jersey from them and then was bummed because it was too large. I sent it back and they returned a smaller size so fast that I was very impressed. A lot of people on this site including myself have had a great experience with them.
    I would go with the second link above.

    Seraph got a reaction from BottleOfSmoke in Where to stay in Detroit   
    I live right downtown. Ride my bike past the Joe every sunny day.
    For hotels, I always recommend people go to Priceline and go to the highest star level (5 or 4, or whatever) and bid for a room right downtown at whatever budget you can afford. It's a little shifty because you don't know the exact hotel you will be staying at, but you will almost certainly land a nice room at a cheap price. Half the time you will end up staying in the Marriott at the Renaissance center, which is one of the places you have to visit while you're up here anyway. Other times you get the Double Tree right across the street. Both are walking distance from the Joe. Detroit has way more hotel rooms than tourists, so use this to your advantage on Priceline and book a sweet deal. But again, it is a little risky because you don't know exactly where they will put you.
    Places to check out while you are here:
    Best food: Green Dot Stables, Motor City Brewing Works, Mudgie's, and of course the world famous Slow's BBQ.
    Fine dining: London Chop House (my personal favorite), La Dolce Vita (best brunch in the city, call for reservations).
    Best bars: Cafe D'Mongo's (there is no place on earth like it, a must see if you are around on a Friday or Saturday night), Two James Spirits, Grand Trunk
    I'm personally not a huge fan of Sweetwater wings, but everyone here does go crazy about them. Besides the places I've listed, there are a TON of other very memorable and cool bars and restaurants I haven't listed. One of the amazing things about Detroit is there are hardly any chain restaurants around, so everywhere you go is unique and an experience. The ones I have listed are strictly the "must sees."
    Hope you enjoy your trip!

    Getting a tripping penalty even if you touch the puck first is garbage. There's athleticism and skill involved in taking a chance in acquiring the puck from an attacking player on the fly like that. What, now every breakaway will result in a penalty if the attacking player happens to fall down while the defenseman is trying to make a play?

    I'm in Kales. Great area to live. Great restaurants and events. Wonderful biking city. My buddies and I walk next door and scalp Tigers tickets for cheap halfway through games. Sure, there are a bunch of empty buildings around, and that is by no means a great thing, but I feel the people here embrace it as the city's aesthetic and character. It's part of the whole package.
    I think the plans for construction will really attract further life down here once people realize how convenient and fun the area around the statiums is.

    I've noticed it's the people in the suburbs who are usually pessimistic about downtown. I've been living here the past two years and it has been a blast. No one here is "waiting for a revival." It's already pretty awesome. I have no doubt these plans will make it better.
    Here is the view from my apartment and you can see the lots along Woodward where the stadium will stand. You can see the FOX theater sign for a point of reference. I'll post more pictures once they start construction.
