I don't know...the whole sponsored by thing sounds hokey as well.... I agree with your point and also wish we could have something simple like Tiger Stadium was...but unfortunately it won't be. It's all about the money. My two ideas were The Cadillac Centre...but to honor the founder of Detroit, not GMC....then there was the Illitch Centre for Entertainment Arena, affectionately to be known as the I.C.E. Arena...

With the injury experience Detroit had this year, if they into the season with only $746 available Cap space, they are screwed...

Blank blank blank..... ...that is what I want to see the Ducks shooting!

As long as Burrows' rolls right to Detroit...

Go Wings!

I don't have PS, so this is all I could do with MS Paint....sorry, but you get the point!

No, that is the ghost of Budd Lynch. He is still there in the Joe you know? If you don't believe just listen...usually right near the end of each period, you can still hear him in the rafters!

Things that Shanny missed.... Retiring in 2009 a Red Wing with one more Cup to his name (could have been the difference in 2009 too!) ...poor, poor Shanny. Don't be bitter, you were the quitter....

The bandwagon fans are the ones that Bettman wanted with league parity...forget the diehard fans who have been with this league since they were kids...lets change the game so we get fans watching the one year their team does well, then change the league again to attract the next cities fans...all while the last ones went back to watching Football...

Gotta go with the Wiki then! Seriously though, it is weird that the Wings are listed in 2014...but wouldn't you think that it would say 2013? Usually the start of the season is the start of their tenancy. That is how the rest are listed....

The experts always say the matchup that has the most upsets is the #7 v. #2....lets hope this bodes well for us! It sure looks like it is for the Sens!

Ya, I dunno who I want to lose more....The Wild because of the centcougar sideshow or the Hawks, who are our natural born enemies... flip a coin I guess! Like I said earlier, Wild lose now, Hawks next round...Pens now. that would be a perfect post season...well a Detroit Cup would be perfect, but that will take a miracle!

Why would the Wings play at the Palace? The Cadillac Centre© ( My name for it) isn't being built where the Joe is, so why wouldn't they just play at the Joe until the Cadillac Centre© is built?

This is another series where I have no favorite in, but I sure would like to see Minnesota fail after the sideshow they put on over the summer...even though not having Suter is the better thing in the long run. Then again, it would be great to see the Mighty Hawks fail in the 1st round too! OMG, I am turning into every fan that hated the Red Wings for the last 20 years! So this is how they felt! Oh well!

I was only poking at you because of the whole NCAA/CHL debate before! I am less a Franzen hater than I was before, but still far from my fav! Why so bitter towards me? I find I don't complain about much now-a-days, unless I peed in your cheerios before, I find it disturbing that you hold some animosity towards me... Kudos on the Fedorov love! Heads and Tails the best Red Wings forward in the last 25 years!

How is it that a team can get away with so many dives? I mean, really. When Don Cherry calls out fine young Canadian boys, there is a problem. Of course the real problem is that the league lets them get away with it...it's pathetic. I despise both of these teams, so I am neither here nor there with a winner, but I hate to see this diving go on...I know Vancouver does it too, but man it seems like the Sharts (yes that was on purpose) are a diving, embellishing machine... embarrassing to the NHL.

Doesn't go quite far enough to show the 3rd guy jump in and then Malkin starts throwing punches, like the pansy butt he is....

Honestly, I don't complain about Franzen anymore....it did get old. He is here for good, I accept it. I haven't complained about him in well over a month...but comparing him to Hossa doesn't mean I am complaining....neither is hoping for a trade. Neither of them are from the CHL, so I wouldn't imagine they are any good in your eyes anyhow.... It's probably because Hossa makes it look effortless. He is a very powerful skater and nearly impossible to knock off the puck.

Pitt s finding out what we learned about 20 years ago even 10 years ago....have all the superstars you want, doesn't mean you are gonna win jack pookie!

I was more so commenting on the post you replied to about Hossa never showing up... Nope, if maybe you would have read the entire post you would have seen where I said "what can be done now? We just have to hope Playoff Franzen returns, we need him." Besides, I didn't think having an opinion was crying. I simply said Hossa was better than Franzen and that is any ANY uniform, not just in a Detroit one. Hossa was better than Franzen when he was a Senator, Thrasher, Penguin, Red Wing and now a Blackhawk. But that doesn't change the fact that we are stuck with Franzen, so I can only hope that he decides to show up and be the guy that Holland chose over the better player... Please lets not turn this into a Franzen v. Hossa debate, I was only replying to someone who said Hossa rarely shows up...next thing you know the name Fedorov will come into play! Whoops!

Oh! I thought it was next year....oh well! Brooklyn Islanders still sounds cool!

Hossa > Franzen...today, yesterday, 10 years ago, tomorrow....fact. Proving everyday that Holland made the wrong choice, but what can we do now? Hope playoff Franzen returns..we will need him tomorrow! Meantime, Hossa is a machine and a big part of the reason the Hawks are as good as they are...he may not score as much in the playoffs as he does regular season, but his presence on the ice commands extra attention at all times and that opens it up for other players to excel... That being said, I wish there was a way that both these teams would lose! Minny this round, Hawks next round. That will work for me!

That guy just said that Suter has a lot of Lidstrom in him.....uh, no. What an insult to Lidstrom.

I can't help but root for the Isles. Not just they are playing the Pens, but because for about as long as Detroit has been a dominant team, they have been doormats. If any team is ready to become great again, its the Isles. Good for them! Next year they are moving to Brooklyn and this is a great foundation to start off a new era! Too bad they won't be called the Brooklyn Islanders....it just sounds tougher than New York Islanders.

another suspendable offense, but of course will go un-penalized.... He only won it because of the league giving it to him....and oh ya, a goal post...
