Hotel rates are higher there right now because the next day is the U of M / OSU Football game. EDIT: I just checked for hotel rates on my employee discount. No such luck. Glad I made reservations a month ago.

While watching Game 5 of the '02 finals, it's amazing the number of future hall of famers were on this team. Shanny, Fedorov, Yzerman, Datsyuk, Hull, Robitallie, Larionov, Holmstrom, Lidstrom, Chelios, Hasek. But what about Homer? His numbers seem a little low, but he's certainly a unique player and the best at what he does. Add in has name on four Cups, three where he was a part of the playoff team. Thoughts?

20-Cent isn't even in the top two best American born players in Black Hawk history!

Two years would not be a good thing, unless it's a year and a team option for the second (if such a thing exists in the NuHL)

No, that will always be Brent Gilchrist's number....

I also vote for J Ho.

It is way too soon to be comparing Ville to Boyd Neverscores.

For the '10-'11 season, the Balks are currently between 4-6 million dollars over the projected cap with only 9 forwards, 5 defensemen, and 1 goalie signed. Ladies and Gentlemen, your Chicago Bay Lightning.

They're going to have to. These contracts will probably put them between 5 and 7 mill over the cap for next season (and that's with only 16 players signed). Their number 3 (Campbell) defenseman is getting paid more than 7 mill a year through 2016, their number 2 defenseman (Seabrook) is an RFA and due a big raise after next season. They may not be giving away their players for nothing, but the players that are going to back up their top line and defensive pairing will be playing for peanuts. They'll be lucky to get draft picks for some of the crappy contracts they're going to have to unload.

Oh boy, I can't wait until we play the Tampa Bay Blackhawks next year. They'll have five good players and an AHL team on their roster.

Lines of cocaine off a stripper's ass.

I prefer the nickname Boyd Neverscores.

Long time, no post, but I need some help from any Texan Wings or hockey fans; I'm going to be in San Antonio Tuesday 5/5 and in the northern Dallas suburbs on Thursday 5/7. Hoping someone here can recommend places to watch the games. Thanks, y'all!

C'mon Kenny, load the contract with incentives and get this guy signed!

Just wanna make sure i don't get deleted

I was under the impression the Norris trophy voting is completed, and it's only for the regular season anyway.

From what I hear, Modano is actually a bit of an arrogant prick.

They've never mentioned anything to me.

Like I've been trying to get people to call him P. Datty for the last few years.

This is funny...over on one of the Flames messageboards, they're talking about how much more they like NBC's presentation compared to CBC's and that they really like the behind the net PP view. Oh, and for about an hour of great entertainment: the massive collective meltdown in their gameday thread.

I was telling my friends last night that they should do a Wings/Leafs game at Michigan Stadium. Probably the only match-up that would come close to selling out 110k seats.

I've seen this quite a bit lately with the home team wearing the whites. And yeah, they need to switch it back, and going to the new jerseys next year is the perfect time to do this.
