    Bob Probert: 2 Years Ago Today

    Also, here's a video that has the Probert/Domi fight but has interviews with Mark Messier, Don Cherry, Domi and Probie. They show the fight and talk about dirty plays and how Messier ripped Domi a new one for showing up other fighters on his way to the penalty box. I had no idea that Domi and Probie were facing a 20 game suspension for the rematch. I found it interesting, getting the info straight from the heavyweights themselves.

    Bob Probert: 2 Years Ago Today

    I remember the day very well. It was on my birthday. Bummer news. I was going to post the tribute video and was really glad that it was already in the first post RIP #24 Bob Probert

    Your Favorite Hits

    Huge fan of Webb. Got to see him with the Muskegon for a year back in 95-96. Also had Steve MacIntyre as well.

    Your Favorite Hits

    I know someone put a "Best Of" for Scott Stevens, but this hit in particular has always stood above the rest in my opinion. Hell, Babs was coaching Kariya and even Rafalski gets a mention http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXimH_N7TMs

    March 26th, 1997...The Movie?

    I think Nick Lidstrom - Michael C Hall. (He never loses his cool, no emotion most of the time, etc...)

    Who is your favorite player from a team besides the Wings?

    Hands down Chris Neil of the Ottawa Senators. Good size, great hitter, great fighter, gives it all every night.

    Red Wings re-sign Quincey: 2-years, $7.55m total, $3.775/yr

    I like this. People may say "Well, it was basically Quincy vs Meech and they chose Meech." Meech has gone on to Winnipeg and has 0 points and a +/- of 1 in 2 games played. I'd say reaquiring Quincey was a very good move. He wouldn't have been in Detroit's system (Detroit and Grand Rapids) for 9 years if he was a plug.

    Chris Neil Signs Extension With Ottawa

    Bummer. Good for Chris though. He's been my absolute favorite non-Wing since he played in the playoffs with the Muskegon Fury in 1998-99 and his years with the Griffins when they were Ottawa's farm team.

    Ryan Suter agrees to 13-year, $98-mil deal with Wild

    f*** Suter and Parise. They can eat s*** and die. They already knew the situation and continued to string everyone along. Well, I was a fan in the 1980's Dead Wing era and will continue to be a fan, but expect to miss the playoffs for the first time in 20 years. Maybe they can have open auditions like American Idol? Awesome.

    Jokinen to WPG

    They must've known Jokinen was leaving, so they had to upgrade his spot with Huds. lol

    favorite wing never to win the cup in Detroit

    Mindfly has been "gone" for a bit, right? I've been here since 2004 and was amazed at some posts of his/hers. That said, Dino all the way. Dude gave heart and soul every shift. He got the s*** beat of of him like Homer does and he's a small dude. For sure Dino, in my opinion.

    Babcock and Holland want to keep Homer.

    I'm all for it. He's a role player. We need role players (yeah, yeah, yeah, I know we need a defenseman and a sniper too) but you can't have too many role players. I know Cleary and Bertuzzi could take Homer's spot, but I'd rather have Bert and Clears fighting for the puck in the corner or going up ice for scoring chances. Oh, and he is THE BEST goalie screener in the entire NHL.

    Bettman wants to tout the "Original 12" now, haha

    Oh, f*** NO. Doing this disrespects Detroit, Toronto, Chicago, Boston, New York and Montreal.

    For once I agree with Don Cherry

    Yeah, it's not like most Canadian (and Pittsburgh fans in general) fans are bias: TSN Poll: Who would you take first overall in your playoff fantasy draft: Sydney Crosby: 42.6% Evgeni Malkin: 32.4% Pavel Datsyuk: 12.1% Henrik Sedin: 9.3% Marian Gaborik: 3.4% 23345 Votes * Pittsburg players bringing in a total 75% if the votes.

    4/7 GDT : Blackhawks 3 at Red Wings 2

    Back to horrible car commercial, does it remind anyone else of the scene in "Step Brothers" where they are driving and singing in perfect pitch and the wife keeps messing up and the ****** of a brother ******* her out? Maybe it's just me LOL
