Hockeytown Red Wings

They dont call him Floppa for nothin.

5 on 3...damn

PK...Hudler helping out the Flyers....something is fishy here.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Floppa! Helping the Wings out already...

Do they count accidental shoulder to shoulder brushes?

Exactly...they could read a script and no one would notice. lol...Derian sounds retarded.

Haha... I forgot that was Knuble's first game...March 26, 1997.

Damn, I though Kronner just lifted his stick but he got the hook on.

Power play time! Zets nice chance!

Anybody notice Strachan goes back and forth from calling him Leipold and Leopold? Loved this excerpt... "In 2003-04, we played Detroit in the playoffs," he recently told the Vancouver Province. "Our payroll was $23 million. Theirs was $78 million. I don't care what business you're in, you can't compete when there's that kind of disparity." First of all, if the Predators' payroll was only $23 million, they had no one but themselves to blame. There were plenty of free agents out there. They could have gone out and acquired some. Secondly, no doubt Poile recoils in horror when someone mentions the word "baseball" because that sport has a free-enterprise system. But that too is a business and those who follow it would remember the Detroit Tigers breezing past the New York Yankees last October. Detroit's payroll? $82 million. New York's payroll? $195 million.

Still trying to picture Forsberg in a Wings jersey.

People are overstating the salary cap issue. Floppa would only count against for a little more than a million and a quarter for the remainder of the season. Leaving us with 750K area under the cap. If he doesnt work out, he's only a rental and we'll just let him sign elsewhere after the playoffs. If we want to get someone else, Lang will be traded for prospects, cash, or a cheaper player. It's not really a big deal since Floppa is UFA after the season. Haha, are you gonna change your name if we get him. It would be understandable if you did... It's only a waste if he's hurt and we trade away a great player. If we get rid of some player who doesnt pan out and Floppa plays like crap, we're not really out anything.

Ohio State had several 20 win seasons in a row...vastly underachieving the last two years. And it's disgusting that ND is good at hockey this year...hopefully a one year wonder.

Thats great...didnt Ryan Smyth do it in just over 2 minutes not long ago?

Yeah, it was kind of nice while it lasted but a loss is a loss. At least we dont have to hear about it anymore.

Oh well...we all know the Wings dont ever put it together a full 60 minutes...but the looks of the posts from period one...we'll be fine...we're only down one tonite.

Yeah, I've drove by that place at least 10 times. I always stop because I usually need a rest stop.

I just dont like the state of Maryland. I've been through there several times on the way to Virginia and the state bores me. Sideling Hill Outlook off the one highway was kind of cool, and Haggerston is ok, but most everything else about the state bores. Then again, I'm from Ohio, not exactly excitement captured in a bottle.

Go Hoos! I also dont root for Maryland unless they're playing Duke.

Ohio State beats Michigan...AGAIN....where's MannysBetter?

I'm right here...bite me.

Ok...so why are you quoting me? Did you ascertain that I am one of those people from my two sentence post?

Yeah....we talked about this a little in the 100 reasons to hate the Avs thread. Last night was the closest I felt to rivalry in years.

We're watching the OSU-Michigan game right now at the house...we like to pretend its the last game we played this season.
