I didn't like him before his "hold out" because he and the Ducks beat the Wings last year. This has made me lose respect for him. Oh and he also received a star last night for his stellar play. http://www.sportsline.com/nhl/gamecenter/r...20071216_SJ@ANA I know, I know game stars don't mean anything.

I agree.

It's nothing but a coincidence.

The hits just keep on coming. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dw...ka.20c68d2.html

That's a pretty stupid move for Simon. Or anybody for that matter. Just read that SI Simon article last week too, and it brought me around to kinda liking him again. Then he goes and pull this. What an idiot.

I'm not the only one.

Imagine all the people living in the world as one.

Thanks for the clarification. It didn't say that explicitly in the story. Sheesh, I just watched the highlights, and the Wings scored all seven goals tonight. Crazy that two of the most esteemed defensemen in the League score own goals in one game.

OK, it's not we, it's me who's pointing out Columbus' attendance woes on this message board. I apologize. I don't mean to demean any NHL organization. When I say a city isn't a hockey town, I'm trying to poke fun of the media that say Detroit isn't Hockeytown. I want every NHL city to be a hockey town. I really do. I want every team to have waiting lists for season tickets. I want every game in every city to be sold out. In my opinion you're right that it's not as embarrassing people not showing up to games in Columbus as it is Detroit, but is some aspects, at least in my mind, it's more surprising. There are many reasons in Detroit, which have been posted ad nausem. To also see problems like this in Columbus is surprising. 1 - The Jackets are the only pro team in town. 2 - New arena 3 - Arena is in a great area of town 4 - Nearby restaurants and bars 5 - Past attendance has been remarkable, longer than most expansion teams. So yeah, given those five things, it's surprising to me. I'm sure many could point out reasons why attendance is slipping.

Missed the game tonight, and can somebody explain this statement to me. The last part of that statement contradicts the bridge of the same story. So how can it be the first successful regular-season attmept since '92 if the same player scored a penalty shot five days earlier? WTF? http://www2.nhl.com/nhl/app?service=page&a...&gameType=2

Dangit! I put this in the wrong forum. Maybe a moderator can move it to General Discussion for me.

Another similar one. http://www.palmbeachpost.com/panthers/cont...thers_1215.html

That'a a very good article. Similar to this one. http://www.star-telegram.com/335/story/360133.html

Only about 1,500 attended tonight's game! http://cbs.sportsline.com/nhl/gamecenter/r...20071213_NJ@BOS Time to contract an O6 team. So Boston received a little snow that kept fans away. Whatever. If they were a real hockey town the fans would've braved that snow. It shouldn't keep real fans away.

Look what team is number one by almost 1,200 fans.

I noticed that too. I'm thinking that's because CBS Sportsline is an American-based website.

Agreed. There's lot of hockey to play, but the Wings are 13 points ahead of the Blues and Jackets right now. Besides it's been argued that having tougher teams within the Wings' division will make them stronger for the post-season.

I hear them on WXYT.

My favorite was Legace's Wings mask. That was really well done.

I dont' have a program to save it. There is a program that can record what's on your screen, but I don't know the name of it.

So what do you guys think. Can I make it onto Yahoo's or Sport Illustrated's staff if I wrote a whole story like that?

That Bettman is a puppet and any commissioner would be if the job description isn't changed. It seems you missed my point.

Light up another one dude!

Still not tied yet.
