    Would You Buy A Modano Jersey?

    There is not a word in the English language to describe all the levels of no in response to this question.

    Calgary reveals Heritage Classic jerseys

    I think they're trying to ensure a win by inducing seizures on the ice with those. It's the only explanation I can think of.

    Hockeytown leads

    I read this earlier today. What saves our bacon is the fact that the Wings are the biggest road draw in the NHL. YAY for RWN West!

    It's Official: Turco to Hawks

    Even with Huet gone, they can't afford Niemi.

    It's Official: Turco to Hawks

    Turco is on a downslide - Neimi has a very good chance at getting better. As a Wings fan, I'm thrilled with this move. Thank you!

    How are you dealing with the off-season?

    Thank God for DVRs. I just watched game 2 of the Phoenix series again. 7-4 drubbing, Z's hat trick - ah, life is good.

    Most hated team in NHL.

    Detroit/San Jose garners interest around the league? I didn't get the memo that we were rivals let alone one of note. I have to agree - Pittsburgh is definitely the most despised team in the league right now. I think a second WC tipped the scales in their favor.

    Pick Your Favorite Wings' Title

    Easily 97 for me as well. It WAS a life-changing experience. Russian Five, Vladdy in his prime, Darren having a career year. The Wings steamrolled their way to their first Cup in my lifetime. I shed a tear or two.

    Antti Niemi files for arbitration

    There's a rumor on the Chicago boards that Huet is looking at going to Europe this season. Would that entail a buyout of his contract, thus no cap hit?

    Red Wings Making Play for Modano

    This is a thread about Modano - not enforcers, not deleted posts, not the "adminstration." FOUR PAGES of crap have been deleted from this thread. Keep it on topic or it gets pulled and you run the risk of being suspended for derailing threads. Carry on.

    McCarty hired by 97.1

    I gathered that from the "CBS" - I'm confused. Why can't he listen online if he's in Canada? There are ways to change your IP if that's the issue, right?

    McCarty hired by 97.1

    You can listen on line. www.971theticket.com Darren's been on The Ticket on and off lately. He's hysterical. Glad he's staying around.

    Red Wings Making Play for Modano

    I understand the decision process on Modano's part, but if it's affecting other signings, particularly Darren Helm who I'd much rather sign than Mikey, I say pull the offer. I don't see that he brings anything to the table worth waiting for.

    Red Wings Making Play for Modano

    26 pages of discussion about Mike Modano? Seriously? I understand those that wouldn't mind seeing him here, but it's not like he's someone anyone would kill to have on their team. Personally, I hope he just retires and fades away. I'm normally good for the home-town angle, but Modano doesn't offer a whole heck of a lot IMHO and he's an ass besides. If he signs here, I won't be Hatcher or Bertuzzi upset, but if he retires or signs elsewhere, good luck and God speed.

    Bob Probert passes away at 45

    There is a guest book for people to sign if anyone is interested.

    Hawks deal Ladd to Thrashers

    And don't forget they're not going to be drafting as high anymore either. This could get interesting.

    Parents sue because kids suck at hockey

    I'd like to know what attorney actually TOOK this case. It should never have gotten even close to getting to court.

    What is it why you're a fan of this team?

    If they moved, I'd probably watch them until the roster changed considerably, and then I'd abandon ship. The question is, who to switch allegiance to? Never the Hawks. God help me, never Nashville. (Although they'd probably move before Detroit) It's hurts my head to think about.

    Most Annoying NHL Fans

    I haven't been to a different hockey arena than the Joe since 1992, but for the least well-behaved fans that come to the Joe, it's a tie between Philly and Pittsburgh fans. Philly fans seem to come here to fight and Pens fans just come to talk trash for the most part. Nashville fans are Number Two on this list. The best visiting teams fans? Toronto. They're awesome and they get the Joe rockin'. LOVE it when Toronto's in town.

    Keeping up with the Wings

    I would HIGHLY recommend pre-season games. You get to see the final tweaking of the roster. There's players and line combos that you will see rarely if ever again.

    Bufyglien traded to Thrashers

    Even a blind squirrel...... This was an awesome deal for Chicago, but by my calculations - oh, okay, by my looking over others calculations - Chicago still has a pretty serious cap problem. Is waiving Huet the best course of action?

    Leafs changing jersey; naming Phaneuf captain

    Good grief - Phanuef wearing the "C"? What exactly are they trying to accomplish with this move?

    Fire sale in Chicago?

    I agree. The core is too good for Chicago to be cellar-dwellers the next few years. However, with this Cup win, I for one don't want to hear a peep out of a single Chicago fan about how the Wings bought Cups.

    please chicago win the stanley cup

    OMG - Chicago has bandwagon fans! Alert the media! I'll be the first the admit it's kind of pitiful - I couldn't find anyone in Chicago to tell me what time the first game started. Some of the actual fans are pathetic, no doubt about it. Their games haven't been televised in 20 years. What do you expect? I'm sure everyone here would be attending Wings games constantly because the games weren't televised in their lifetime because after all, it IS the Wings, right? Chicago is good again. I can rekindle the revulsion I have had for them my entire lifetime (twice most of yours) instead of feeling pity. But that is going to wait until Pronger is denied.
