    Fan turnout at last night's Panthers' game

    I saw the pic - looked a little like Wings games in the early 80s. Ours weren't quite that bad, but I remember the days where you could basically pick your seat.

    LGW Moderator Problems

    I can't add a lot to what harold has already said, but I will chime in with sometimes posts are deleted because they're responding to a post that needed to be deleted and to leave it would make no sense. I deleted a whole page from the Howard thread. I knew that thread was going to be trouble the minute it was started, but did what I could to keep it alive because it had the potential to be a good discussion. I will guarantee that I personally have never deleted a post simply because I disagreed with the opinion stated therein. If I delete a post, more often than not it's because it contains a personal attack, or more recently contains information Matt would prefer not be available on LGW for legal reasons. Personally I would rather refute an opinion than delete it. If we all thought the same way, it would make for poor discussion. Another suggestion I'd like to make is to PLEASE PM a mod if you have any questions or concerns - don't post in GD threads. It will be deleted because it's off topic (not the place for those types of conversations), not because we're power-hungry. Seriously, cleaning up off topic or personal attack posts is not in my top ten ways to spend an evening.

    NHL Gamecenter Live **No illegal stream discussion**

    The NHL controls broadcast rights, not the teams. I'm sure the Yotes and Preds owners don't want the Leafs and Wings making money they can't dip their paws into, or worse, stream the games free on the Wings site so no one makes any cash.

    Sorry, but describing how to circumvent issues is also taboo.

    Babcock "I don't think it will be my final year here"

    Can we get the discussion back to the actual topic, please? There are plenty of threads to discuss the team.

    10/11/14 GDT: Game 2 | Ducks 3 @ Red Wings 2

    Please express your opinions about the game, not about other posters, their ability to see, whether they ever actually watched a hockey game before, their parentage or whether they're the briefs or boxers type.

    10/11/14 GDT: Game 2 | Ducks 3 @ Red Wings 2

    While the Wings got jobbed on the no call, they had plenty of chances to win this game beforehand. Pretty exciting game though, and YAY, no injuries. That in itself is a win.

    10/11/14 GDT: Game 2 | Ducks 3 @ Red Wings 2

    For some reason a lot of people didn't show up until the 2nd period for the home opener. Maybe they think the 1st is just warmup or something.

    10/9 GDT : Bruins 1 at Red Wings 2.

    I will be representin' tonight. May the hockey gods favor the Wings tonight in the name of YFMB.

    Babcock "I don't think it will be my final year here"

    In an interview during intermission tonight Babcock was asked about not having a contract. The highlights are: He's talked to Scotty, who replied that he was in the final year of his contract every year and he loved it. Babs is excited about the younger look of the team. It was painful for him to watch us last year because we were so slow. His youngest is out of school, so he's in a good position. The Wings have been very good to him and treated him very well. There is nowhere else he wants to be.
  12. Saw this after the period ended, so I don't know if it's on or not because it's all commercials right now, but if it's on, it's here. It's the official Wings radio station, so you may want to bookmark FFR.
  13. No s***. I'd "like" that post, but, uh, no. Should be working, decided not to, log into LGW and the Wings score! And damn, Leafs score before I can even hit "Post." Grrrrrr.

    Stars troll opposition fans on scoreboard

    They're being trolled because it's a Stars/Lightening game. Hawks and Leafs had nothing to do with it.

    Stars troll opposition fans on scoreboard

    I believe 55fan was insinuating it was cruel to the Leafs fans.

    10/1 Exhibition GDT : Pittsburgh Penguins at Red Wings, 7:30 EST

    Yes, it's on FSD. Thankfully I have to work. I'm not up for He Who Shall Not Be Named today, especially with it being his first appearance this season. Ugh..

    Stars troll opposition fans on scoreboard

    I agree. There has to be line somewhere, and as far as I'm concerned, that's definitely it. Other than that, I think it's funny!

    CBC partners with Rogers in landmark NHL rights deal.

    I don't care. I am bereft. I hope Sportsnet goes belly up. I'm still in the anger phase of grief over losing the CBC hockey broadcast.

    9/29 Exhibition GDT : Maple Leafs 0 at Red Wings 3

    I think Cleary's trying to avoid detection. He's changed from 71 to 17 in hopes that no one will realize it's him.

    Barry Trotz Wants Ovechkin to be more like Yzerman

    Not only were the Wings the first to use the quote, theirs is properly punctuated.

    9/22/14 7:00 PM. Preseason GDT - DET 2 @ PIT 1

    I love preseason games. This is where coaches mix it up and try out things you won't see the rest of the season.

    TSN ranks all major league sport franchises.

    When are people going to stop paying any attention whatsoever to ESPN, especially when it comes to hockey? When I want to know about poker championships, I'll turn to ESPN. Look no further than their vote for the Number 1 worst team in North America: The Toronto Maple Leafs. Seriously? While they have indeed struggled mightily in recent years (decades), they are far from the worst. I don't care what the criteria was, ESPN is dead-ass wrong. As usual.

    potential team names for las vegas!

    I liked 55fan's idea of the Las Vegas Crapshooters.

    Las Vegas rumored to get an expansion team

    Just another reason to be grateful we're no longer in the west. Our exposure to this travesty will be less. That is until the league has to buy the team for 6 years, and then I'll be pissed again.
