Hockeytown Red Wings

I dont see why it's so wrong to criticize Lang. I agree that he takes a bunch of heat for every little mistake...but the guy makes a ton of little mistakes. He also shows very little effort and as the topic shows, turns the puck over as much anyone in the league. But I guess we should all bend over and say, "My, what a lovely tea party" whenever we see someone who is obviously tanking it.

Yeah, you can wear Darren's jersey for sure. He'll always be a Red Wing...however, if he scores in that game and we lose...you better feel partly responsible.

Certainly not surprising...but Datsyuk led the league in takeaways.

Maybe I can send Hockeytown Authentics my interpretive drawing of Andreas "The Pain Train" Lilja to attach to it.

So, Ohio State is gonna blow this season...I witnessed a 7-2 thrashing at the hands of a much more talented Minnesota team last night...how's your team looking?

I think it's just to announce Sakic's re-signing and a state of the team type address. Maybe announcing golf tournament plans.

He's already signed a one year deal I dont think he's retiring.

Welcome to the world young Buckeye! http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2830476

I hold a puck in my hands the entire game....I have a few so I switch up lucky pucks based upon need.

They all suck, it's just to varying degrees. Wasnt Hasenfratz part of that string of game where they only called penalties on us about a month ago?

Anyone remember Lang's goal in Game 1 against Nashville in 04? That was amazing!

I think Kipper is a great goalie, and I know Hasek is old and crusty, but not sure I'd make that a Calgary advantage either.

Yeah, Lilja feels obligated to fight, Iginla hits him hard once, and Lilja folds down like the Berlin Wall. Not necessarily a knock against Lilja, Iginla is tough SOB.

Damn....I knew it was one of those useless big bodies. Err...looks for excuses.....basketball sucks anyway!

QOTSA owns.

Steve Yzerman scores from around the outside, around the outside, around the outside.....

KISS - Detroit Rock City Esham - Hockey Daddy (the chorus line is Let's Go Red Wings) Slayer - Reign In Blood Deftones - My Own Summer Slipknot - The Nameless Hey Hey Hockeytown Many, many more...but some examples of what I listen to before a game.

Not a conspiracy...merely a campaign for the truth.

HoH is actually an old-school retired pirate....he and Bobby Lang once sailed the seven seas together....but their relationship turned sour.

After the NC game, I dont think there's anyway Oden doesnt go No. 1. Unless said team already has an established young center. Durant was amazing, one of the best freshman years ever...but Oden is just coming into his potential. I think Durant is currently too skinny, he makes Tayshaun Prince look built. So assuming it's anyone but the Celtics with the first pick (they seem to have the biggest mancrush on Durant), I'm guessing Oden goes first overall. Of course that could be a mistake...like Brad Daugherty over Michael Jordan. The promise of a 7' freak of nature is almost always too much to pass up though.

I'm so pumped right now...I gotta hold on to most likely Thursday? Got good feelings about this year, but I usually am optimistic before every playoff year. We just gotta trust our players...I know we're not the 02 Wings anymore, but we got Dom. And even at his old crusty age, he's still damn good....good enough to take us far. We dont have suicidal Manny anymore (god love him).
