It's a shame...if I were in MI right now, I'd buy tickets for me and my dad in a heartbeat.

I remember the Cup win in '97, I was friggin' working...but there was humor involved. I was a wedding videographer back in Michigan and we were at a wedding reception. Half the tables at the reception hall had people who had brought in portable TVs or radios, trying to get good broadcast signals. Needless to say, uh, we weren't concentrating on shooting footage as much as we should have been. Some guests were even wearing Wings jerseys (with shirt and tie underneath). Even the DJ was giving score updates as the night progressed, up until the point where we won and he was announcing over the speakers, "THE RED WINGS ARE THE 1997 STANLEY CUP CHAMPS!!! CONGRATS TO THE RED WINGS!!!". We were all high-fiving each other and everything. The bride and groom weren't amused. Thankfully in '98, I got to head down to Royal Oak right after we won Game 4 and reveled in the debauchery going on there and then got to experience the parade in Hart Plaza with a bunch of my classmates from Specs Howard (we were "shooting a project", allegedly). And then in 2002...uh...I was in Jersey and I was like, "Woo hoo!"...and no one was around to high-five. (But at least I was in Michigan for a couple JoeVision games that round... )

My wife is being quite supportive of my hockey habit lately. It's scaring me. The DVR was overloaded for tonight from 8-9, so she actually said she'd kill the recording of one of her shows so I'd be able to watch the whole game. Yeah, she's doing it because it's an episode that's little more than a "clip show" and a behind-the-scenes deal, but still, it's a gesture.

Ooh, crap. That reminds me, I need to get beer tonight. Wine just won't cut it for the playoffs. I've been getting more and more excited as the day has progressed.

AAAAAAA! IT'S MCGEOUGH!! KILL IT!!! KILL IT!!!!!! *cough* Sorry, too much Robitussin. Pretty funny article, although the "HAHAHA CHRIS CHELIOS IS OLD HAHAHAHAHAH!!!111" jokes are still a bit tired.

Put my Zetterberg jersey on this morning. Strangely, I see no Devils jersey around here. Oh wait, that's not strange.

Wasn't Crisp the one that said that Brett Hull would never make it in the NHL?

http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=203743&hubname=nhl Wayne's lucky he has part ownership of that team.

Now I'm glad that I'm not the only one in this thread that picked against the Wings.
-
How Lou Lamoriello-ish of him.
-
Is that even confirmed, though?

Those of us with cable providers that dont have VS

I already had the digicable, but I went and ordered my provider's "Sports Pack" yesterday to ensure that I have Versus for the playoffs. It'll only end up being an extra $5 - $10 for me ($4.99/mo and I'll cancel it as soon as the Wings are no longer playing). -

Keep hoping...Versus has the NHL through 2011. Link -
Hey, I'll gladly take the goose egg if they can win the series. I figure it this way...probably at least 75% of the time when I picked the Wings to win during the weekend picks...they lost. And vice versa. So this may work in our favor.
-
Well, these are all picks that I posted on my blog back on Monday...and I know the first pick is going to be unpopular here...I'm just trying to be consistent. Western Conference Detroit (1) vs. Calgary (8) - Calgary in six. Anaheim (2) vs. Minnesota (7) - Anaheim in seven. Vancouver (3) vs. Dallas (6) - Dallas in six. Nashville (4) vs. San Jose (5) - San Jose in five. Eastern Conference Buffalo (1) vs. N.Y. Islanders (8) - Buffalo in four. New Jersey (2) vs. Tampa Bay (7) - Tampa Bay in five. Atlanta (3) vs. N.Y. Rangers (6) - NYR in seven. Ottawa (4) vs. Pittsburgh (5) - Ottawa in seven.

Well, I think this speaks volumes of Calgary fans. They're all fans of Justin Timberlake.

Babcock's just playing head games with Playfair and the Flames.

Can you blame them for being skeptical? Since we won the Cup in '02, we haven't exactly been a force in the postseason. I know I'm skeptical. Doesn't mean I'm an *******, just means I'm being realistic.
-
Woo hoo! I finally cracked the top five! I'm extremely pleased with my finish in the #4 spot. Nine points out of first ain't too shabby for me at all.
-
Looks like (if I calculated right) 15/22 for the final weekend for me. Just about average for me.

I have to admit that I've become a pessimist when it comes to the Wings in the postseason. Yesterday was my last day of shaving before the playoffs begin for the ol' playoff beard (or playoff stubble, as is more the case with me) and my wife was like, "So you're not going to shave until June?" My response was, "Nah, I'll probably be able to shave again in a couple weeks." As I always say, though...prove me wrong, boys. I got my hopes up the past three seasons (especially last season), I'm not doing it again unless they give me reason to. Do I think they can win? Of course. Do I think they will? In all honesty...nope. (Keep in mind, I was horrible picking Wings victories and losses during the Weekend Picks, so take my predictions with a grain of salt... )

Ken Daniels was on XM about 45 minutes ago and raised a good point. He says the Wings are most likely not going to pursue a new contract with Lang. That frees up $3.9M. Dats was making $3.8M. Combine those and you have Dats' new contract with $1M left over. I think we can all agree that Datsyuk > 2 Robert Langs.
