Another Wings PP!

EL CAPITAN!!! 5-2 Wings!!!

Wings on the PP!!!

Wow, what a goal by Mule! Reminds me of the one he did against Montreal at the beginning of the season!

Ooops, forgot about the racing slicks in my post I'll fix that. Yeah, the lack of a North American Grand Prix will certainly hurt the sports interest in the US. Bernie's sky-high sanctioning fees make it impossible for anyone but a government to pay for the rights to host a GP, not to mention some of the outrageous demand for paddock areas (seriously, do they really need to be like uber-luxury suites?). And the dropping of the French GP and moving more races to Asia/Middle East are going to make it more financially difficult for the teams to justify their existence in F1 (a lot of cargo to transport, and the lost of markets to the teams' sponsors). An Indian GP is slated for 2010, I believe, as well as a Korean GP. At least they will be on purpose built circuits instead of on city streets (ie Valencia, Singapore, and Monaco). The French GP is expected to return in a season or two, but on a street course near Paris (from the rumors I hear). And there's a rumor that Hermann Tilke (the main guy who designs many of the modern F1 circuits, like Bahrain and Turkey) was in Rome scouting a location for a Roman/Italian GP. And speaking of circuits, nowadays newer circuits seem WAY too flat to me, compared to Spa. There seems to be little character to the newer circuits. If it were up to me, I'd have a USGP at a track like Road America or Road Atlanta, Watkins Glen or even Laguna Seca (though, it might be too narrow for a modern F1 car). Hell, Detroit used to host a GP, right there at the Renaissance Center. F1 needs to be more hospitable to privateer teams like Williams/Minardi/Jordan/Tyrrell/etc. Being too reliant on the manufacturers can hurt the sport if they hit a rough patch in the economy (like right now). I like some of the ideas that the FIA have come out with (giving the teams an option of running a "standard" engine like a Cosworth). I would like to see them institute a optional standard tub/monocoque for the privateer teams so that there is still the car development, but will take out a big part of the cost of making a F1 car. That would still keep to the spirit of a "constructor" without having to completely jig the rules to deal with customer cars (like what Super Aguri was and Toro Rosso is, to a certain extent). I hope they don't institute the damn medals rules. Seriously, if you want the championship determined by wins, then increase the damn points for a win. It's that damn simple. Also, there's a rumor of an US-based F1 team being run by SPEEDtv employee Peter Windsor and former Ligier mechanic Ken Anderson. Their base of operations would be in the Concord/Charlotte area, right in the home of many NASCAR and sports car teams, as well as the home base of a state of the art wind tunnel. They are expected to race in F1 in 2010, so they have 13 months to get their stuff together. Right now, it's only a rumor, as there is no hard reports of, well, a lot of other stuff (drivers, engines, etc). Hope it does happen and will last for a long time, but until they are on the grid in 2010, it's just a dream to many US F1 fans. And I agree about the color commentary with Hobbs He can certainly make a boring race at least a bit entertaining

So, when Stuart gets back, will Homer be put on LTIR retroactively to keep the cap space and still be able to bring up the GR guys?

Conkquerer with another shutout! Pasha with two goals and Hossa gives the boobirds a reason to boo. Great game, but bad officiating. The Pens had gotten away with a lot of s*** and the Wings nailed by the smallest of "infractions" 3-0 Wings over the Penguins.

Capitols win it 4-2. Wings are now in a five-game losing streak. Wings defense was just pathetic out there at times during the game, and it cost them, as well as not converting on the 6-3 PP/extra attacker situation at the end there.

And Ovi gets another goal. 4-2 Caps.

It was only a matter of time before Ovi scores. 3-2 Caps.

Wings PP coming up after the TV timeout.

FEED THE MULE!!! TIE GAME!!!

Wings PP coming.

Damn, Caps score on the delayed penalty to Flipper. 2-1 Caps.

Another Wings PP coming up.

Caps back to ES.

Lebda gets hit with a high stick. Wings PP coming after the TV timeout.

Wings back to ES.

Lebda hit with interference. Wings PK.

Blah, the Caps tied it up. 1-1.
