    Dom! Dom! Dom!

    I'm still amazed that people are surprised by Hasek's play this season. But for an injury last year he was playing this good in Ottawa until the Olympics - which is why I was so pleased when we signed him in the summer

    Soccer!

    I lived in Manchester for 9 years, it is true. All true Mancunians follow City and it is retards from London, China & Ireland that follow United I watched that game live and Rangers were excellent. Rangers will definitely win the SPL next season with Walter Smith in charge. The imrpovement in Rangers since he took over from Le Guen has been amazing. Next year will expose Strachan as the poor manager that he is - Rangers have been pathetic for most of his time at Celtic and that has made him look like he has done a decent job.

    Canada beat Switzerland 5-1 and will play Sweden in the semi's. Am annoyed that I can't see any of these games, not even allowed to watch the highlights from the TSN website

    IM a canucks fan

    I really wish we had Sergei on the team right now, how great would it be to be able to have him drop back to the blueline and fill in for our injured guys there

    Thanks Red Wings for a great birthday present Woke up at 0630 here in London to get up for work fearing the worst then saw the score on TSN website!!!!!!!!! Given the slow repsonse of the TSN & ESPN websites I think I only just missed the winning goal!!!!!! Much better than the birthday 3 years ago when I woke up to find out we lost game 6 in Calgary GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Grapes says Dats has no......

    One of the things that makes Don Cherry's anti-Euro rants so funny is that he is married to a lady from Ukraine

    Non-Michigan fans: How did you become a Wings fan?

    My father grew up in Kalamazoo and has been a Red Wings fan from the 1950's and his hero was Gordie Howe and I basically inherited it from him. Living in Britain it wasn't easy to follow the NHL until the last decade or so through satellite TV & the internet so was really only the mid 90's that I became a Red Wings fan, although I really started to get into hockey in the early 90's thanks to the EA Sports hockey games!! Still have family in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo & Detroit so try to get to games whenever I'm over on holiday. If you are ever over in London and see someone wearing a Red Wings jersey there is a fair chance that it is me

    Should we build our own "Legion of Doom" ?

    To me Franzen always looks like more than 6-2 out there on the ice - he seems to tower over everyone

    What city deserves an NHL team

    London would be good(for me, but not really likely to happen), we are already getting two NHL regular season games in September

    Top Ten hockey players since 1980

    Surely Gordie Howe should be on the list, he was still playing in the 1980's

    No thank you

    David Beckham joining LA Galaxy

    He's not so much washed up but was never ever very good anyway. The ultimate hype over substance sports star. He is a one trick pony and that is taking free kicks. Other than that he offers nothing to a club other than merchandise sales - which is the main reason Real Madrid signed him. Most people here in England have been wanting him dropped from the England team for a very long time. Beckham and his wife must surely go into the Guinness book of records for the highest amount of money earned compared to talent ratio

    Why is soccer the only sport.....

    Soccer is not the only sport in the orld with a world cup, it's just that soccer is far and away the biggest sport on the planet so everyone knows about it. As you mentioned hockey has many international competitions as do basketball and now baseball. There are other sports around the world that have world cups but will recieve litle or no coverage in the USA. Next year the West Indies will host the Cricket world cup, and just this past month the qualifying rounds for the 2008 Rugby League world cup in Australia began. Tennis has the Davis Cup, golf has the Ryder Cup and other international events. Name a sport and it likely has some kind of international competition.

    Anyone watching the world juniors?

    I would love to watch it if it was shown here in Britain, so far only seen a few little bits during TSN's NHL:On The Fly which we get to see here.
