I guess if I'm not actually attending a game, I forget they're on! Completely slipped my mind. joesuffP is correct - Rags come after us pretty hard. Here's hoping Thursday's team shows up plus a PO'd Franzen.

I believe that's "glutaeal percusses."

Wings are taking over bell ringing for the Salvation Army on Friday. They are asking for a $10 donation per autograph. WHEN: Friday, December 5, 2014 WHERE: Help fill the Red Wings’ kettles at the following locations: Hiller’s Market – Mike Babcock and Ken Holland (4:00 – 6:00 p.m.) 425 N. Center St., Northville, MI 48167 Hockeytown Authentics – Justin Abdelkader and Darren Helm (4:00 – 6:00 p.m.) 1845 E. Big Beaver Rd., Troy, MI 48083 Kroger (Royal Oak) – Tomas Jurco and Tomas Tatar (4:00 – 6:00 p.m.) 30991 Woodward Ave., Royal Oak, MI 48073 Kroger (Farmington Hills) – Luke Glendening and Riley Sheahan (4:00 – 6:00 p.m.) 37550 West 12 Mile Rd., Farmington Hills, MI 48336

I have two tickets to give away for Thursday against Dallas. It's Datsyuk ornament night as well. I'll make this short and sweet, no research for trivia - I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 300. The person to come closest without going over gets the tickets. They are Section 203 (B?) Row 26. Wear hiking boots! The number has been sent to the mods, so I can't change it. Entries will be accepted until 10pm Wednesday night. Please don't enter if you can't attend. Winner can meet me before the game at the Gordie Howe entrance at a time to be determined. I'll be the one in the Wings shirt. Caveat: If someone guesses the number exactly, the contest will end at that time.

I agree, but he may not want to stay a minor league coach. Therein lies the problem.

My schedule says FSD+, Wings site says FSD.

OMG it was a huge hint! Only reason for the sentence to be in there. Thank you for picking up on it. Swayze doesn't know they've won yet. Hope they don't forget to check in. These tickets go to waste, I'll hunt them down. Anyone willing to be on call if I don't hear from them by 5 or so?

The number was 9! Congratulations!

Bummer. Sorry! Just trying to be helpful.

Just got back from the game as well. Literally the worst experience I've had at the Joe in 30 years. The game was bad enough for the first 55 minutes, but I'm starting to realize why other fanbases don't like us much. The fans were absolute *****, with nary a Panthers fan in sight. No one, and I mean no one, came to play today except Jimmah. Can't wait for Thursday to erase this from my memory.

Yup. Stomping my feet did the trick! Game on!

According to reports, there's no drop-dead time to decide whether the game will be played tonight or not. Not a fan of not knowing whether I'm going or not. Plus, it's Zetterberg ornament day, so I want my freakin' ornament! Sorry, beautiful GDT BTW!

Yes, and we all have TVs and cable and internet access. Maybe forums shouldn't exist because everyone can watch and look everything up for themselves. No need to post at all.

Oh, quite. My staff have my opera glasses and formal jersey at the ready.

I'll be at Tuesday's and Thursday's games. I'll wait and see how those go before I get too needy. But I'll take the butt pats! Love, love, love, love, LOVE having control of a game from start to finish. Not a big fan of the constant come from behind. And Burrows can suck it.

Do I get credit for the win?

Parade to the box this game. What horrible, horrible officiating. Some calls have been good, but others have been head-scratchers. Not a fan of the revolving door on the sin bin.

Mickey just called him "a minute muncher."

Yup, Burrows is still a ******.

Canucks don't want to play - they've cut the wiring!

Well, I've missed the last three games and the Wings won. I'll be tuning in for this one, so let's see what happens. I haven't watched the Canucks since their horrible diving competition with the Sharks in the WCF a few years back. Are they still as bad or have they moved away from that tactic?

Wings are offering tickets through TicketMaster with no fees if purchased Black Friday through Cyber Monday.

Is it the fans really or is it the media blowing it out of proportion? Either is possible - even likely! Throw a dart, it's the right answer. I don't think saluting should be done other than at the last home game of the season, win or lose.

They know the words better than Americans do! Kudos.
