Ok boys, You've worked the crowd back into this game, when you definitely don't deserve it. Now, DO SOMETHING WITH IT.

******* bulls*** call. Absolutely ridiculous.

That one might not have gone in, if not for Ian White knocking it in... ...not that I'm complaining!

Good to see that the refs kept the memo from last year's playoffs archived for easy reference...

Fantastic job on the PK. A PP goal here would completely deflate the Sharks.

The clock is ticking, and as of now we are keeping score...

I absolutely love seeing stuff like that. It's always great to see the members of the organization in some real-life/behind-the-scenes settings. Thanks for posting that!

Only the second time I've ever cheered against a team associated with Stevie (1st was the Olympic Gold Medal game). Go Wings!

Lazy bum, taking several months off during the middle of the season while lots of other guys are all getting injured... Just kidding, of course. Can't wait to get #90 back on the ice!

Game on!

Drapes!!!

Took inspiration from Sir Drake? Dats!!!

Great chances at the start of the PK shift.

Game on!

Did McToolGuire actually just say that reducing the roster size to 17 skaters would eliminate the "predatory" fighting?

Yeah, I think it is reversed (or was a few weeks ago). When we finally got on the train, it was only 3 or 4 stops to the Joe. I'm betting that most of the crowd that we saw on all the trains was from the Greektown stop. You're probably exactly right, in that if it went the other way, we'd be one of the first on the train. We were originally planning on taking the people mover back after the game, but decided to find another way back. We met up with Matt & his wife, and we managed to hop on the bus to the Old Shillelagh. After grabbing a bite to eat at a bar in Greektown, they were kind enough to give me and my friend a ride back to the Ren Cen.

I went to Detroit a few weekends ago, and stayed at the Marriott in the Ren Cen. It was a nice hotel, with a gorgeous view (we were on the 45th floor, with a view of the Joe from our room), but there were a few things that held it back. 1 - The building layout was a tad confusing. If you're on one of the lower levels in the lobby, it can be quite the adventure trying to find your way back to the center area and be on the right level to get to elevator access back to your room. If you're there long enough, you'll eventually find your way around, but it's still a little bit of a hassle. 2 - Internet access. Yes, they have Wifi, but they'll charge you for it. If I remember correctly, it's something like $12.95 for 24 hours of access. Free Wifi is available at the Starbucks in the lobby, but they're not open 24 hours. So you either can use free Wifi (which seemed to run pretty slow) during the Starbucks business hours, or you can pay for it. 3 - Had to pay for parking. If you're not renting a car, then that's not that big of a problem for you, but if you change your mind and rent a car, then it's $10 a day just to park. 4 - The People Mover. Don't get me wrong, the P.M. is a good system for getting around downtown Detroit, but it gets extremely busy for the Wings games. We had to wait for 20-30 minutes outside on the platform while waiting for a train. Many trains would come by, but by the time they reach the Ren Cen, they only had room for maybe 3 to 4 people per train, so it took forever for our turn to finally make it in. Expect the same long wait after the game too. Other than those few issues, it was a good hotel. IMO, it wouldn't be the first place I'd look to stay at the next time I go, but I wouldn't complain much if I did stay there again.

Absolutely wicked backhander!

Pretty big PK here.

Wow, ZERO SOG in the powerplay...

Remember to keep the discussions civil, folks. No need for the personal attacks. Game on!

Easy goal there.

Ooh, that was too close.
