Oooh good thread!! Let's see here. Lidstrom- Met him twice at Troy Sports Center after practice. Very nice, down to earth, quiet guy. Was great both times I met him. Larionov- Very quiet, humble, and nice. Actually played hockey with him and Kozzie. I was the goalie and they took around 10 shots each at me at the Wings rally back in 1998. Haha oh the good ol days! Cleary- Just said hi to him, after practice. For some reason I forgot to ask him for his sig?! I don't know what happened. lol but he was really nice! Datsyuk- Met him at Troy, and the Wings vs.Tigers game this summer. Very nice, and quiet. Doesn't say much. lol Shanahan- Met him in '98 at the rally. Very nice, and funny. Maltby- Met him three times. Hockeytown Authentics, Troy Sports Center (2) Probably one of the nicest guys you are ever going to meet. Yzerman- Met him at Troy. VERY down to earth, and kind. Soft spoken and just all around great to his fans. Lang- Met him at Troy, and he was very nice! He knew we'd been waiting to get his autograph so he came up to my cousin, sister and I and signed some things and took some pics with us. He's awesome. Chelios- Met him at Farmer Jack! Hahaha he looks soo mean but he's a great guy. Really funny, and down to earth. D-Mac- Of course he was funny, and nice. Really laid back type of fella. Awesome person to talk to. Osgood!- Met him this past November twice in a day! Once at DMC where my Dad works, and then later that night at Hockeytown Cafe! He remembered me so it was pretty fantastic. Easily the best day of my life. Oh, and he's really nice, and VERY quiet and shy. Draper- Met him three times. *Troy 2, Hockeytown Cafe* By far the nicest guy. So talkative, and nice to all his fans, will never deny an autograph or pic. Legace- Met him three times at Troy. Very nice, likeable, and down to earth. He's probably one of the nicest players I've met. Franzen- Really nice fella, signed my jersey, and was talking to my cousin and I about how he changed his number. lol Hank- Met him twice *Troy, and Hockeytown Authentics* Great guy, nice, and appreciative of his fans. Whitney- Met him at Hockeytown Authentics and got to take a pic with him even though no one was allowed to. I remember they said no pics allowed but I asked him for one and then he whispers to me "Okay, but don't tell anyone else about this!* haha Avery- Met him like a gazillion times. Haha I absolutely love the guy. I remember when I first met him at practice he saw me taking pics of him by the boards during practice and he came up to me and said "Why don't you wait till after practice and we can take a pic together." He definitely kept his word, right after practice he signed my jersey and we took a pic! I met him twice after that and he was great. Very nice guy despite what many think Kronner- Met him this September. Super nice fella! Very humble, and kind. Kocur- Met him at Gibraltar. Funny, nice, and awesome. Cujo- Met him after practice. Really nice, and pretty quiet. Homer- Met him about three times. Funny as hell, just when he talks..you have to smirk a bit. Really nice guy. Fedorov- Really nice, and kind and was thanking us for getting his autograph. EDIT: I forgot to add Franz Cujo and Cleary!

It's always easy meeting the majority of the Wings after some practices they have at Troy. Very rare that they practice there, but when they do it's definitely the best place to meet them.

Aww that's great! Langer is really awesome. I met him this September and he was great. Very nice, and pretty darn funny. That's so cute bout his daughters, but I swear I thought they were boys and not girls?! Brooke and Kelly, right? When they showed him with the whole thing of him and Huds at his house I thought at least one of his kids was a boy!

Only if this post made some sense a little. Look at his numbers, and winning season records then tell me again how he isn't able to put a solid full season together. Thanks!

I absolutely love Hud's reaction everytime he scores. Priceless!

Good for him! He seriously made me VERY teary eyed when I watched his PC about leaving the Oilers. Great to see him happy.

Hahaha I watched RWW and recorded it as well of course. I couldn't believe he knew all the answers opposed to Ozzie, Drapes, Homer, and Lids who have been around forever. But I heard little Huds may have cheated! I love how they ask Oz when the JLA was built and he picks the year he was born and says 1972! Haha and then Homer about the seating he just randomly says ehhhh 19,992.

Offsides pretty much hit everything right on the head. Great posts. I was going to make a huge post, but I'll refrain because it wouldn't be pretty.

Great post! And anyone who knows about the Wings past playoffs will realize that they don't lose the series because of goaltending, but because of lack of scoring. Osgood is always at his best come playoff time. Anyways, i'm sure Dom will fine, and if for some wacked out reason he is not, I have no doubt in my mind Ozzie could get the job done.

LOL that is not funny, but it is. klsjdlkgjsg bad!

Agreed about White. That hit was NASTY. He'll definitely be suspsended and rightfully so.

Thanks!

I absolutely love him. So much that he's probaly already one of my faves. Seriously. He's brings a lot to the Wings. He's really fantastic along the boards, strong as heck on the puck, good on the pk AND pp and really knows how to cycle the puck and doesn't give up on plays. Really tough fella as well.

WOOT ^^^ Nik's bro. I haven't seen the hit, but it sounds dirty! Hope Kaberle gets better soon!

LOL. Some of you are hilarious. OH how HORRIBLE it would be to have a goaltender play in the post season that has won over 300 games, has one of the best winning percentages, won trophies, been to all star games, and won a Cup. OH THE NIGHTMARE THAT WOULD BE! Get real. You can say what you want about Oz, but guess when he plays his best? Oh yeah..that's right, the playoffs!

Great game! The Wings flat out OWN the Hawks. It was GREAT to see Langer get back to his old self tonight. 4 points!! Atta boy. Those that have been hating on him...well in your face. I've always thought he was one hell of a player and I told you all to just give him time. Yeah it's only one game..but when on <i>his</i> game he is a dominant player and everyone knows it. His new 2nd linemates have definitely sparked him. Btw, I absolutely LOVE Calder! He is absolutely great around the boards, smart, and tough as hell on the puck. He really knows how to cycle the puck, and he's not afraid to throw his body around either. Great pick up by Holland. Ha. And everyone was doubting this move. SHAME ON SOME OF YOU! Schneider's goal was an absolute beauty with the passing from Dats to Langer and then Schneids. Beautiful Ozzie was really solid in net tonight! Didn't have a lot of work but was there when they needed him. Oh and damn you Williams for ruining his shutout! How fitting for you to score now. Congrats to Lids for #200! Also, Rex was GREAT tonight! Probably one of his best games of the season.

Which means Holland deserves even more credit. He already added Calds and Burt and he was going to add Nolan TOO. The man knows what he's doing. Anyways..like everyone said, family does come first. But let me tell ya..if the Wings win the Cup, he'll regret it.

Sore groin for Cheli.

By Calder!

I like this article. Cheli going to take Calder and Bert out for dinner. This is greaaaaat. Seriously though, WHY AM I SO EXCITED? I have to like posting everything Cheli/Bert related. Ahaha Cheli and Bert go from enemies to friends

I think it's a great article. I respect the Preds A LOT, I just don't like them.

Wings play their most physical game of the season tonight! I'm predicting Calder gets into a fight. Wings win it 4-2. Langer, Datsyuk 2, Lidstrom GO WINGS!!!!!! GO GET 'EM OZZIE!!!!

I love Luda!! "OH NO! The fight's out Bertuzzi's 'bout to punch yo...lights out!!"

Don't worry. It's better now than later. Let the guy get some rest. He should be getting rest anyway! So he can be ready for when it really matters. I've got all the faith in the world in Oz. He will shut them Hawks and Avs down!

Oh my! I am stealing this. I HAVE THE COACH OF ALL COACHES AUTOGRAPH! *cherishes it*
