i thought michele petite (sp?) was always funny. i think he played for quebec nordiques and maybe a few other teams

I just wish theyd get rid of both the VS and NBC commentators.. eddy i sucks ass, i cant stand pierre. to me his claim to fame is that he was an assistant on a stanley cup winning team.. other then that who knows. but why cant the NHL do something different then the other leagues and make it whoever the home team, there tv crew does the game.. i really think next time the wings lay on NBC im turning the volume down and turning ken kal and paul woods on

andy delmore??

speaking of markov does any onek now where to find a video of that nasty scrum against Calgary where markov came all the way from the blue line and jumped on top of the pile.. wouldnt mind seeing it again.. great s***!!

i dont do anything really till playoff time. thats when i usually pull out my filppula jersey for every game when i go out with friends to watch it. if i stay in i try and watch the whole game. no bathroom breaks till intermission, and cant drink any red beer. In '02 my aunt would call me 5 min before puck drop and just give a go wings and quick talk then before the puck dropped wed hang up and watch the game. When i go to a playoff game, i get there early enough to see warm ups, walk around and grab a non red beer usually from the leinny cabin ( best value for beer i think). then each year i think a shirt or pants is usually good luck till they loose a series. this one is more random then the other ones. last year every time i went out to watch any finals games they lost yet when i stayed in they one. My uncle was getting pissed at me for going out instead of going to his house for HD. it was quite funny.

actually i had something happen to me this past Dec 23rd while playing dropin. i stepped on a blade and my whole leg twisted under me. i suffered a broken leg well i just about destroyed it somehow.. broke the tibia in 2 spots and the fibula in about 7 or so. they had to go in and but screws and a plate in the tibia so it will stay set. the plates probably about 8-9 inches long.. i defiantly f-d up my leg haha

ive had the great chance of having chelios walk by my car one day this summer shortly after his knee surgery. and of all places he was in dundee, MI coming out of a random pharmacy. I noticed walking to my car after dinner in that area that a bentley was parked next to my car with a great looking girl in his passenger seat. As i was pulling out, here comes chelli limping and had a nice "chelli" look on his face. I was kind of freaking out and wanted to say something but froze up and kick myself for it. he then followed behind me for a couple miles on his way back to I-75.

could be a thing hes always done.. plus his bauer xxxx doesnt feel like a bauer xxxx when i played with it in the pro shop at JLA. Felt pretty boxy alot like missions. Mission was recently bought out by bauer. thats why youve seen rafalski wearing and using bauer nike equipment same with hossa. if ya dont remember that in training camp and begining of regualr season he was using mission sticks. so here were seeing a great example i think of a stick repainted. oh and nike bauer branded stuff will now be just bauer as nike has sold bauer to someone.

ya alot of players will have one type of stick painted to the newest version sometime.. even with skates. I know hossa spray paints the bottom half of his stick black and david vyborny would spray paint the whole stick black when he played for the columbus blue jackets. jason spezza and markus naslund recently switched from all wood to either and two piece shaft blade combo or a one piece composite stick.

I know most of the reebok stuff hasnt been released to the public yet, but the stick Z and franz use do i believe. or atleast ones that look very similar have been. The stick Lids uses was released in nov and its a warrior dolomite spine. If they arent out by now theyll be out by atleast april.

I agree that lebda should go. I was saying this to my uncle and cousin after the February slump. I thought meech should a lot more consistancy on the back end and could chip in on the power play. Id rather have meech on the back end on the powerplay then Sammy. Iguess basically what im trying to say is mr. "i can skate real fast" should have been the one hitting the door in stead of quincey and letting meech and quince share ice time.

Well i migth be of some help, as i live pretty much in Monroe and have been up to JLA since they closed 75 heres three options to getting up there that ive used: 1) take 75 up to the Fort Rd. exit in River Rouge and follow that to Rosa Parks - Ive found this to be the fastest, well untill the terrible construction in Rockwood. 2) take 75 again, but getting off at the Southfeild freeway and taking that to 94, where i get off on Michigan Ave. in Dearborn i believe. 3) depending on where your locating in Monroe, go to 23 and take that to 94 and getting off at Michigan Ave. Parking: I would recommend the Cobo roof. Im not sure if its open yet, but its about half the price and not many people park up there. Then you can take either people mover over to the joe for 50 cents or walk. Id recommend taking to the game and just walkign back. This is what i found out that works. Not sure whatever one has to say bout parking. But hope its helpful in some way.

ya i figured after looking at the patterns of curves they share. but its an excellent stick. for just a touch over 100 bucks. I definatly plan on buying another one or a warrior for a bit more soon since i need a new stck after my back up broke a while ago. But i highly suggest a warrior or inno stick.

I use a stick i found at peranis and havent seen them any where else. Its a innovative or inno.it looks just like the bauer xxx where it goes from white to black. i thnk that is the best stick ive every played with. be it i play just at local drop ins and im a novice with decent skill. but i love that stick. ohh and it has a federov curve. for roller hockey i would suggest just getting a two peice so you can switch out the blades.

me and 2 other guys from work went in on the howe package. they havent contacted the guy who ordered it abotu what games we wont but should be soon. i usually park on top of cobo when i can. for the finals it was closed which was weird. there i just take the people mover downtown for food and back to the joe, then walk back after the game. no way im gonna wait in that huge mess at the people mover!! anyone have any idea on when single game tickets will be available?

i dont think that cory cross deal was all that bad.. i actually thought he played well with us the few games he did. and it was for a friggin draft pick so whats the big deal. The bertuzzi deal was way worse then this.. or what about the jiri slegr deal.. oh and no one talks about trading for an already injured ulf samuellson who i dont even think played for us that year. thats all i can think off of the top of my head. but funny how cross is hated on here and did nothing to even gain it besides obviouslly being traded here for beans basically. oh well...

No i know i watched it live and thought it was a good goal. But all im sayign is everyone around here seems to praise this thing like it was a overtime winner, or even a late minute winner. I will it does give me a smile pretty much everytime i see it. Just me, i really dont care too much for the 96 overtime winner by yzerman. ya good shot but didnt get us anywhere besides getting beat by the avs next round.

If your going to bring up significance then why have the McCarty goal on there. It only made the score 2-0 in the middle of the 2nd. yet people act as if he won it in over time or in the last minute of the 3rd. Yes its a good goal and was offically the game winner as Philly scored in the last minute.

I actually like the candy strip jersey and own a replica one. I think they look neat and break up the common one base color. etc etc. But hey thats me. and i got the jersey customized with howe 9 on the back. The neat part is the numbers arered with white outline, instead of how they normally look. looks pretty sweet i think. Let me know if ya want a pic and ill try and get one up.

i hope we get rid of lebda over meech and quincy. just thought id add it since both were mentioned in this thread.. that and ive thought lebda shoul dbe gone since meech showed so much potential on both ends of the ice..but oh well

ya it is in Toledo .. thats where i got mine. Try the Best Buys. I got mine at the monroe st locationa nd they still have a bunch i believe. Just a lil stand in the middle of everything with a bunch of copies on it.

hmm... ill say Yves Racine, Terry Carkner, and Timmy Chevaldae and Cory Cross My actual list would be Probie Dino Hatch ( be cool to see a hometown boy win it .. again) Stevie Thomas Wendal Clark

1. seeing the pretty boy fleury fall on his ass. sadly i was there but didnt see it happen. but wish i did. 2. Fils goal in game 2. 3. Dats and Hank crushing both Malkin and Cindy. 4. Kronners hits. 5. Just being at game 1 and seeing Mario and Stevie. that and winning the cup when it was all said and done

Hey does anyone know when the wings are going to hold the end of year equipment sale. i couldnt make it out for last years and curious to go out this year and maybe pick some stuff up.. thanx
