AtlantaHotWings

Well Captain Kangaroo(Hitchcock) doesn't have a gig have him come in do the O. Move Paul M back to D. Season Chelly in the AHL till either of the 2 leave.

As much I would love to see them come back I am thinking they grab tonight for pride. Just in case they do win and to assure a chance of winning the rest. I am working on a time machine to go back to 1997, 2002 and grab some players for the rest of the series.

Lets see in the 59 years of Octopus hitting the ice how many injuries have occurred due to "gunk"? Gary keeps on trying to force his vision of parity not only in the teams lineup but also on traditions. Going to be a hoot to see how many hit the ice tomorrow.

Time for a Helm shortie

60 minutes of playing PLAYOFF HOCKEY = 1-1 going to the Joe anything else and we are in trouble

Looking for the silver lining here....but based on a strictly wild hair number analysis Detroit wins tonight..... Before Game 5 Phoenix had won the odd numbered games which would have yielded a game 7 victory at the end had the pattern continued Detroit broke the pattern and promptly lost game 6. So it stands to reason the Wings now win the odd numbered games! Screaming at VS announcers tonight in Atlanta.... Mule comes alive tonight FINALLY!

Gee Joe looks empty...

sigh where was this effort last Friday when I was sitting 8 rows off the ice and much lighter in the wallet Oh well nice job tonight boys

Hey all Back in town visiting family and got two tickets for Friday nights game. Big question haven't drove down to the Joe in recent years. What is traffic like downtown these days and how much time should I allocate for the drive down from Flint. Also any suggestions for a good pregame meal are appreciated. Thanks

Thanks all for the suggestions..... as for visiting Flint everyone has a cross to bear mine is my mother in law...LOL

Easier to fire one coach than 20 players. I would say the Brad experiment is done. The one where you take a crappy coach from a crappy team and bring him to an elite team and see if he can work magic. Except in this case has been strictly black magic...... Granted the boys have played a lot of hockey the last 3 years but even so they still should be in the top 10 of the league in PK.

Whats different between 07's team and last years debacle of a PK and so far this years? McCrimmon... ding ding ding... Sorry time for Brad to roll on and get a real defensive coach.

Happened to see this on nhl.com http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=57131&a...vid=DL|NHL|home Basically telling us to gripe and complain. Going to call and see what they are going to offer me to stay. Already called Comcast and can get service Oct 1 so just a matter of having to buy new Tivos etc.

Feeling good today about tonight as the pattern should continue tonight.... 97 - Home win 98 - Road win 02 - Home win 08 - Road win 09 - Home win and the Joe sings.... born and raised in SOUTH DETROIT...........

604 is still playing the game except no switch to commericals ....seeing the interviews while the commmericals are going ...hilarious...... Strader and the Eliot making sure their ties are straight

Crap lost the feed on 604 I WANT it back as the Wings are FINALLY playing!!!

Notice what Mickey has been saying the last few minutes.... Defense wins championships and as he said there needs to be a recommitment to that part of the game or........

I think its Ken Daniels fault... Nashville is only averaging a goal a game....8 - 0 Columbus is only averaging 2 goals a game 6 - 1..oops sorry 7 - 1

Ray Emery two two hockey players in one!! Enforcer and goalie!!

Crap Firefox complete black and IE white box. What version of FF you all got working?

Western Conference winning t-shirt /shorts/undies/hat....check Molson chilled...check Wife and kids to the movies so interuptions...check Wings victory...check Biggest question does Al swing the Octopus and Mr I pay it after all its the finals.......

My short and concise email to Mr Gary who want so hard to make the NHL a figure skating contest. Mr Bettman I have been a life long Wings fan and know the true tradition of the Octopus as taught and passed down generation to generation as you may or may not know Detroit is an original 6 team. I suffered through the years of being a "Dead Thing" fan and now am excited as are my children to sit in front of the TV in Atlanta and see Al swing the Octopus and to know what the Joe sounds like when he does gets me very excited as a fan. For you to arbitarily announce that if he does it again to "incite the fans" he will be fined is ridiculous!! What's next fining players that make a goal or hard check because they "incite the fans"? I ask you to reconsider your attempt to shelve a tradition of those of us that live, breath each year during the playoffs for the Winged Wheel. Sincerely Mark Canton, GA

just replying been gone a bit...

Nahh if it was the way Buttman wanted it New York would be in the finals and the Vs guys would be on their knees in front of Messier!! Anyone catch the spotlight on the cup or whatever they called it. on Vs the other night? Brief glimpses of games and about 10 minutes of snuggling to the Rangers when they won the cup. NOT a mention of 2002 when a certain captain skated on one leg when they were talking about what players go through for the cup......
