trade in your wings card, dude.. I would prefer that ignorant SOB's go follow a different team.. Hey, I have an idea.. Why dont you buy a card for whoever wins the cup every year? That way you have nothing to ***** about.. good riddance

for those of us stuck at work: anyone know if NHL.com will stream TSN's show like they did last year?

Just got off the phone with Comcast.. after talking to 3 different people that had no idea what the NHL network was I finally got someone who said it was scheduled to launch Comcast wide in January 2008.. not sure how accurate as there are reports of Nov and also reports that people in other states are watching already on comcast.. I'm seriously annoyed now..

did you see the size of number 7!!? dude looked like a 30 yr old out there with a bunch of teenagers.. honestly I think the kid had the right idea.. probably there star player and 7 was out there looking to start s***..

MLB's network is set to launch in 2009 (per Mediaweek and sportsbusinessjournal).. 9:22 am on NOV 2nd and still no NHL Network on Comcast in Metro Det.. I have a couple friends on Direct TV and they are loving there NHL Network.. WHY MUST YOU CONTINUE TO TORMENT ME COMCAST!!!?

from everything I have read JHo is just lacking the day in day out consistency to move up to DET.. remember, in college they only play 2 games a weekend (except for the holidays when they play a couple weekday games followed by holiday tourneys).. the point made earlier is right on: goalies take a long time to develop.

heres a preview of whats to come..this is from 2 years ago so it wont be exactly the same (+ this is the Nike version).. the main point is dude looks like he is wearing his little sisters jersey (4 sizes too small)..

I hate the new streamlined jerseys on the players.. With pads on they look *** as hell.. However for the fan without pads I think it is a better overall fit (I have a new Team USA jersey and it is so much more comfortable then my Wings, Leafs and Habs jerseys)..

if it was on the ice then yeah I would shake your hand.. and I didnt call McCarty a 'waste of flesh on skates' for nothing.. so what, because Chelios is Wings I'm supposed to give him a break? no.. I'm hockey fan first, wings fan second and I'm not a blind homer..

who is the second number 1? Holland has already said J Ho is spending another year in GR.. if Ozzie were still a #1 he would be starting somewhere else..

unfortunately you do need a stellar goalie right now (see Legace led playoff debacle).. at this point in his career Ozzie is a back up.. plain and simple.. I would rather stand pat with the current forward group and bring in a stud goaltender than possibly waste a year with JHo and Ozzie in net.. I hate to sound like the idiot journalists, but you need a stud in goal to play into June.. I just think going with Flop Boy is taking too big of a risk..

no.. I did like Chris Chelios for a long time.. I like what he does on the ice, not necessarily his views or what he does off the ice.. thats why it bothers me that he did something classless on the ice.. and come on, 'too emotional'? You are one of the most feared warriors in the game.. hockey is a game of emotions.. you have to take the good with the bad and just suck it up...

what else is there to talk about? people just want to drop it cause he's wearing the winged wheel.. had he been wearing a retarded looking D this board would have been all over this for days.. + I'm at home with my pregnant bed ridden wife.. I havent been able to talk about this all week and am just now getting a chance to vent.. let some of us that didnt get to talk about this earlier in the week have our say as well..

uh.. no.. this is a huge topic.. he disrespected a major tradition.. without tradition the NHL becomes no better than its trash talking no heart cousin -- the NBA..

Chelios is anything BUT a class act.. I respected him when he first came to the Wings but not anymore.. this is just the last straw in a long list of bush league acts by Chelios.. who the f*** cares? I do.. This game is about tradition.. I dont care how badly youve been beaten or disrespected.. you shake hands after a series..

SJS is not going to be dealing from a point of strength.. every one knows they need to deal a GT.. I argue that Toskala would be in the same boat as Biron (traded to PHI for a SECOND ROUND DRAFT PICK!!) I am just basing my arguments on history.. I dont see SJS getting much for Toskala.. Why would you give up an active roster guy when you know eventually they are going to want to dump cash to pick up some more parts?

saw him play quite a bit with UMaine and he was an absolute stud.. I was bummed when he left early as UMaine were cleary national championship favorites his senior year.. that said the wings are in no hurry to throw him into the pressure cooker.. thats evident that they plan on at least another year in GR for him.. goalies take longer to mature than skaters.. he could spend another year in GR and then a year as a back up.. why not lure Giggy with a 2 year deal? throw some money at him.. with a higher cap this season and the possibility of another 20% hike in the next 2 seasons you wouldnt have any issues signing your own guys.. its a better risk than Hasek any day of the week..

Both Biron and Toskala are in the same position: #1 goalies stuck on a team with more than one #1.. neither PHI nor SJS are going to get full market value for these guys.. yeah, the price might be high now, but if you wait awhile you should be able to get either for a couple prospects and or picks.. Biron may have signed an extension but the second he gets benched for Niittymaki his tune could change.. He has been sitting as a back up for a couple years now and everyone knows he is a bona fide top 10 GT..

Howard (and I was a huge JHo fan when he played at UMaine and was ecstatic when the Wings drafted him) wont see any time in DET next year (unless someone gets hurt).. I have never been one to agree with 'evil' Drew Sharp, but in this case I think he may be right.. I'll also preface this by saying I have NEVER liked Hasek and his flopping syle (hence I affectionately call him Flop Boy) but I do have to give him and the Wings credit.. Hasek has been a top 5 goalie the past 2 years when he played (key word 'when') and when the Wings signed him on the cheap I said it was the best move they could make for 2007.. the 2007 season is over and its time to start playing for a 2008 cup as well as planning for the future.. Hasek is not part of the future.. JHo is not the answer unless you are starting over which clearly the wings are not.. J Ho's time will come.. Go out and pick up a top 5 or 10 keeper (Giggy, Toskala, Biron) that will keep you in the hunt for the next 3 to 4 years.. You have enough young guys that you shouldn't have any cap issues (also the cap ceiling should rise considerably next year)..

sorry to freak you out.. I thought Gettys was like AP since Yahoo uses them.. you should be in the clear with them..

hate to tell you this, but the brute force offense is what works.. SJS didn't employ it and look where they are? BUF didn't use it and look what they are doing now? OTT and DET all of sudden woke up this year and started playing playoff hockey instead of looking for the perfect play..

easy there killer.. you know you can be a fan and not be a complete and utter homer.. so what if your negative.. this is the place to vent those frustrations.. I am one of the biggest hockey fans around (and yes I started out a wings only fan back in the early 80's) and I will tell you the Wings messed up BIG time by blowing the last two games.. they are outgunned big time in this series and they have stayed in it by out working a more skilled opponent.. I do not expect ANA to make that mistake 3 games in a row.. do I hope the wings win on Tuesday? hell yeah! do I like there chances in a game 7 because of there experience? Hell yeah! I just don't see a solid ANA team getting outplayed again..

will you be adding advertising in the future? did you have to buy the images from Gettys?

your points are well taken.. hmm actually not.. if you love the clutching and grabbing and mugging watch college hockey.. it will take you back a few years.. ya know, when I get fed up with a sport I go and watch other versions of it.. you have great college, junior and high school teams in this area to follow.. and each of those levels are called a different way..

sorry.. double post
