Actually impressed more by the pass by Luke then the shot...

Friends in Seattle always called it "God's Country" due to the mountains etc I guess. Or perhaps my friends were the only believers?

That's what I was thinking a year off to get the last kid out of high school and appease the wife. Then let's sell the house and head to "God's Country"

Me and Johnny would like to represent the Rednecks!!

and Joey V's time is done with the big club https://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2018/09/red_wings_assign_joe_veleno_to.html#incart_river_index

As the tolerance builds then numbers go higher and he could have spaced them out a bit also. 3 beers per hour say 4 hours thats a 12 pack. Basically a beer every 20 min or so and perhaps with his depressive state he drank quicker and therefore the numbers increased.

So Team Howe is the prove you belong on the big club team.

Wow that story was an eye opener! Wonder how many others suffered in the past in silence vs getting help just so they wouldn't be stigmatized. Not sure how the interviewer that blasted him thought he was a bad person or perhaps due to his actions during a manic trough?

But is it going to be back @ center ice like Stevie wants?...LOL

From Mlive this morning https://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2018/09/could_return_to_red_wings_be_i.html#incart_river_index "Yzerman, during a news conference in Tampa, said he wants to spend more time with family, his wife and three daughters who have maintained a residence in Michigan. The grind of commuting back and forth to Florida for eight years apparently has taken its toll on Yzerman." Wow it's been 8 years hard to believe....Guessing he might catch a few games @ LCA...lol

Red Wings site streaming the game ?

OMG just talking about old Yeller makes my eyes water.....

Cheeego is known for it's hook to Notre Dame as discussed above. What Notre Dame known as ....aaah the IRISH. What city in 'Murcia is considered the home of Irish people ...Buuhston https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2016/03/17/just-how-irish-boston/aTIo00BOP5Nyw6WdHAgXSI/story.html hence the reasoning in the NHL minds. at least this makes sense sitting in an airport bar in Raleigh

One of the best videos for differences in "football" vs hockey

Just thinking how I would react if I was the emergency goalie and had had to play for say the Hawks, Pens, Leafs. Could I control my internal hatred of those teams to make a save. Or the thought of hearing a Wings victory song while on ice knowing I helped be too much for me to handle and I would melt down emotionally.

Feeling a bit salty this morning so .... Are we going through a bit of rough times sure but does that mean we still aren't Hockeytown home of Howe, Lindsay, Yzerman etc? We are an original 6 and don't have to be like Vegas or others with all the crazy crap pregame stuff. We know the game we appreciate the details of the game. Eventually the ship will turn around and that moniker will fit. If you want to remove the ads AND Hockeytown off center ice I could possibly agree and go with an "old school" look if you will rant continues All this lets get "modernized" and hip is all kinda crap in my eyes. Let's start being like all the franchises and do the same song after a goal. Let's pull down the all the championship banners Let's pull down the retired jerseys Let's get rid of Don't stop believing after a victory. Let's get rid of the Octopus visual's(they already have crushed the throwing) Let's change the colors from red to maybe teal as the marketing survey says so. My old crusty arse says sometimes leaving things in place hooks the future with the past ie the banners, jerseys, songs etc. rant over Feel free to flame away I am getting another cup of coffee.....

a classic probably better than some of Peter the Great's dives

wait no Bud or Coors or Strohs or the most Murican beer EVER..... PBR!!!!

50% of the top 10 are DEFENSE waaay better than I expected in a prospect evaluation 1. Zadina Very Good Prospects: 2. Veleno 3. Rasmussen Legit Propects: 4. Hronek 5. Berggren Have a Chance Prospects: 6. Cholowski 7. Svechnikov 8. McIssac 9. Saarijarvi 10. Hicketts ===================== Drops to 20% when you include the big club guys 1. Larkin 2. Zadina 3. Mantha 4. Veleno 5. Rasmussen 6. Hronek 7. Berggren 8. Bertuzzi 9. Cholowski 10. Svechnikov Find it interesting Hronek is rated above Bert Not sure I dig that not a single goalie was have a chance or legit. But hey everyone has a an opinion and hoping one of the goalies becomes a chance...LOL

From your lips to Gods ears ...git er done Jesus

Interesting read I wonder if they reduced the equipment size like shoulder pads so when I delver the "hit" I feel it too. Might reduce some of the full on speed hits. I think the no touch icing rule has been a pretty decent change. I think Lindros is a wee bit pissed(and rightfully so) he didn't to play as much he desired. But then again when you get popped by Stevens like this your career isn't going to last long. Granted today Stevens would have been suspended for games upon games for this.

Oh yes Gary Thorne and Clement Clement "hands of cement"

Looking @ that eye chart of a schedule the Hawks are on more that both Pitt and Washington you know the team that won that silver cup thingy. Plus why does Philly make it on 17 times oh wait Comcast is based in Philly and owns NBC. Man really sucks to be a team out west based on those numbers presented in the chart

Was looking at the schedule and ticket prices to budget for my annual trek north to see a game. Last year I paid around 170 per ticket for seats in section 120 row 14 for a game against the Canes in Feb. I figure I get back to see friends and family and a game once a year so I am willing to spend a little more for my seats and plus I budget for it for a few months. Looking at prices/games and I am sure glad I have that new stent in my heart otherwise I might be on the floor writhing in pain. Tickets are showing in the same area around 400 bucks on stubhub/ticketmaster etc. Is this due to the season not starting yet and people just putting numbers up there? I am going to hold off and pick a couple of games and see where prices land and it might not be a trip this year if these prices keep holding. Last game of the year against Buffalo seats are over 250

there fixed it for ya in bold. But as far as the ticket prices go I budget about 50 a month starting in Aug to cover my tickets @ a game. Most times I stay at friends house on Friday Saturday night is Troy Marriott on points, flights are on miles plus rental car is usually fairly cheap or on points. If all those expenses weren't covered by points for me a guessimate to see a game with GF 350 tickets avg 600 2 flights and thats if Delta feels like not crushing me 350 2 nights @ hotel 125 Rental car 120 min for beer 6 @ 20 might be a low estimate ... Not including food outside the arena So has potential to be over well over 1500 to see a game when the points die my seeing games will cease until the Wings are contenders. At which point the numbers will go up dramatically but then again I would be buying playoff tickets but if i start budgeting 50 per month the next 5 years.......
