Using the same logic, Kenny should get points for 'recovering' so quickly from this huge 'blunder' no? (I.E. "I really blew it this time, and now we're set to win the President's Trophy?" Waitaminute! aloha

Always love to read stuff like ^that^. aloha

This is a great day for hockey. When is the last time anyone followed the French on anything?

Floppa preparing for the playoff 'run'.

Little tip for you ladies: What you really wanna do is get about 500 of these and individually wrap each color around it's own matchbook-looking-thing. Then you purchase this little tackle box thing to put them all in. Now - and this is the important part - store this box, UNLATCHED, concealed directly atop something that the man of the house would need access to on a weekly basis - and just wait for the cussing to begin! Good times. Good times. (Also - of course - never ever actually cross stitch something.)

Who could forget >> 3/27/07 <<? I have the entire thing etched in my brain.

He shoulda said: "I would rather coach these Detroit Red Wings, more than I would one of the finest teams in the NHL." aloha

Good call! It is funny. So much for 're-building years'. Apparently it can be done over a weekend. C'mon Habs! They won't, but if they do make the SCFs, I will purchase an authentic Habs sweater. (#10). Oh - and they hafta play the Wings. aloha

I remember the same. The Hawks might be 20 pts out with 2 games to play, Toronto would be right on the bubble - Chicago would decide to bring their A-game and get the 'W' for no reason. I think The Norris Division was where "Any team, on any given night" came from. Fun. (Good news is: Chicago looks like they're making some moves to rejoin the NHL no?) aloha

Hate to agree but, as of post time, AO has 106 pts. The Caps have only one other player to even break 50 pts so far this season.?!.?!.?? For those of you who say he should 'carry his team' to the next level - he cannot skate every shift. There's no rule against it, but I'm pretty sure even AO might get tired. My hat is off to him for making this playoff chase/next level. Go Washington Ovechkins! Get that 8 spot! aloha

(Could you repeat ^that^ 50x for the kids?) I thought around here, at LGW, the general concensus is: - We wanna bring up the new kid(s) and groom 'em quick. - We really don't give a s*** about the regular season record. - We wanna sign the big expen$ive $tud(s) at the deadline. Chelios brings enough to the Wings' table to warrant another go. He's earned it anyway. I'd keep him around just because he's willing to get in the refs' faces. And again - it's minimum wage folks.....he's staying out of the way if things go south inna hurry. Hell - let's have this talk after this coming playoff run. aloha

I would take 2 weeks off and kick my family out of the house. I would pre-pay my cable bill for the year and get 2 dishes installed. 5000w Honda generator would be on standby next to 100 gallons of fuel. Phones unplugged. Cells off. Water main shut off - too close to the electronics. Fridge rolled out into the frontroom. Shhhhhhh...........

I'll root for SJ. (was the last NHL game I attended) Hope to meet them in the Conference final. I also hope they have a blistering and brutal first 2 rds. 7 games in each......155 OTs total. (And on the other side, I can't help but root for the Washington Ovechkins to somehow claw their way into that 8 spot.) aloha

>> Thread << was a couple pages deep. aloha

Aloha and welcome to my world. I've called our cable company each and every year for the last 7 yrs to request that they offer the Centre Ice package. I've spoken with the same lady no less than 3x (her name is Porsche) - she laughs at me. I WISH I could take some heat from someone! Wings are rolling, playoffs are coming, we're generally healthy..............when's your next visit? We'll go to the SportsPage and force them to turn all the TVs to the Wings game. Demand some heat! aloha nui loa (I'm across from Kam III - yer across from the boat ramp.)

From the locals? I think the Winged Wheel confuses them mostly, and I've grown tired of trying to explain why I am also not a Lions fan. The occasional knuckle-headed Canadian visitor will know the deal. But they're Canadian, so, y'know - what are they gonna do about it? Win a Cup in 1993? Tip 10%? aloha :::::::::Explanation of the above '10% tip' joke for my canuck brethren::::::: If your tab is $80......leave the hundy. Not $8, not $12, not even $16 - just leave the 20 and walk.

Don't tell Scotty.

If the Wings do not sign him, let's all hope he doesn't just sit on his couch and get fat and lazy during his 0.067 nanoseconds of unemployment. Sure has a lot of W's for a dumb guy. Lucky to get those 58 wins as a new coach with a team who had their payroll cut in half. Luck.

Now that's precious. Tell them that the last count shows no less than 16 Canadian born players on their starting roster. (Well - Also maybe tell them that Canada is that country to the north of us?) Y'know what? Nevermind. aloha

Correct on the beauty part. She's always hot. But no brains? Sorry. She does sell dumb. And very well. But she ain't. Count the other hot ones who've come along and disappeared during Pammy's reign. They're dumb. aloha

1 - kinda screwed on this one. Was a Leafs fan till we moved to the states in 79. Didn't make the switch right away either. (Sittler didn't quit till the mid-80s 'eh?) 2 - Reminds me of what makes me feel old when I see that many of you were born after I graduated. Gah! YOUR Red Wings have had quite the run! aloha

Name of the thread led me to believe that all the players skate blades were going to start wobbling after 3 shifts or maybe one hinge on the bench door was gonna pull loose. Hold on tight to your armrests.

I think that those in the *** community will not allow this. Once you're out, you're out. I don't think they have a 'Trial Period". aloha

Younger Stripes? I disagree. In the Beginning, (Genesis 1:1), I HATED Ron Hoggarth - it was only his last 6-8 yrs that he actually turned into a decent referee. (High accolades for a ref from me.) Prolly one of my favs in the end. Shick? Same. He's now palatable. His early career textbook game was as follows: Call one team for everything in the first - other team for everything in the 2nd - then in the 3rd look for a way to make the calls to get it into O.T. Saw it 1000x. Now Marouelli? Correct - he can be replaced by C.O.B. today. He'd call Yzerman 2 mins for skating. Hated Stevie. McGeough? Just turn the ******* TV OFF. Lower your blood pressure. I could go on.......of course. Replay? Agreed. Give the coach a beanbag - limit it to review the goal/non-goal call. This ain't the NBA. Goals mean something. And of course - lessen their workload and get rid of the instigator rule. aloha

I wanna pee on him. Can I pee on him?
