I love CBC. Furthermore, I love tsn.ca. For TV and internet, hockey coverage doesnt really get better than through those mediums. Canadians know the game, except most Toronto fans (their rabid, foaming at the mouth, drone/cult-like man love over their slightly-better-than-the-Marlies franchise every year blinds them to obvious hockey rational leading to fans to think JS Giguere could land them Evgeni Malkin, the rights to Mario Lemieux, and 43% stock in the Stanley Cup.) Regardless, I love their love of the game and the dedication to presenting it for the beautiful game that it is.
My issue is with Canadian arrogance over it. Read the comments on tsn.ca one time, for kicks. A huge number of Canadians are sports version of Quebec, they basically just want to break the Canadian teams away from the rest and do their own thing. Besides the Wings, Bruins, and Crosby's Pens (what would Canada do without there Brad Pitt/Wayne Gretzky/Jesse Owens mutant?) it seems the rest of American teams can go fly a kite and just make the AHL a 51 team farm system for Canada's 9 team League of Extraordinary Canadians...Annoying.

Tried to fit the quote from 300 with the Wings...this is all I got. :/

OK, true to my word...

Is that something along the lines of what you were looking for?

Not even a remote chance...

Let's all agree Bob Errey would have been #51

That was hilarious when I saw that replay.

This game was sooo much fun!!!!

A couple canadian guys next to us had 2 flasks of whiskey each at the Winter Classic. They were passing them around and anytime a Hawks fan tried to take it they would start swearing at them. Awesome.

Wings lineup has been updated

Well heres Hudlers chance. I think this game is going to be the make or break for him. If he still plays like s*** with Flip and Franzen he'll be gone.
I think this one has potential to be rough, theyll probably have Big E's number for beating up Brule.
Abdelkader in a 4th line role will be fun to see since he just smashes everything when hes out there.
and dats will probably do something sweet

The worst is the guy who calls the Predators games.
The Best is Jim Hughson with HNIC.

All time? CBC's Bob Cole is hard to beat. Thorne as well as far as US broadcasters go.
Right now? Jim Hughson gets my vote.

If anyone ever wants to see Homer laugh and cry at the same time, try showing him a video of that Orr "goal".

I want Homer to skate up to Bryzgalov tomorrow night, look like he's about to knock him over just like Orr, and then gently tap Bryz on the shoulder.
The resulting goalie interference penalty will give us all the proof we need. Muah ha ha.

Maybe they were a lenient on them since the decisions are made in Toronto haha.

Yea, but he's one of their expensive core the fans want to get rid of, so he doesn't count.

When we lost all those guys, we had to bring in our top prospects from the AHL. Chicago's top prospects are already in the regular lineup....

The pre-season nameplate designer is lazy and sucks.

This thread signals the beginning of the Wings season to me. Now get to bickering about goalies and who is lazy and sucks.
