    Sellout: yes or no?

    Why were you driving to Cobo AFTER getting validated? Since there are automatic machines that validate the parking passes I can't see any reason why you couldn't still park for free...as long as you have the willpower to stay away from the gambling. Think about it, even if only 1 out of every 5 people stays in the casino and loses...I mean...gambles money, Greektown is still coming out ahead.

    Sellout: yes or no?

    When it gets really busy in the area they might enforce it. They didn't do this during every Wings game I went to over the years but be prepared to be turned away if it gets packed.

    Sellout: yes or no?

    Some of those Greektown garages are requiring you to show a Club Greektown card or they won't allow you in. I've had a card for years so I could get around that.

    Sellout: yes or no?

    Yes they are reduced compared to last year's playoff prices but they're still pretty high. IMO the first round should be closer in price to what seats costed during the regular season.

    The Fight Thread

    Boll got punked pretty bad in both of those bouts. Janssen will be someone to watch next season if he can get in the lineup.

    The Fight Thread

    Hard to argue with that list. Personally I think McGrattan is too high. He's actually looked worse as the year went on while Orr, and even to a lesser extent Riley Cote, got better as the season progressed.

    The Fight Thread

    Alright...the regular season is pretty much over. So who gets the nod as the heavyweight champ for 07-08? I think my finalists have to be Laraque, Brashear and Orr. Boogard and King just weren't in the lineup enough to warrant consideration. Am I overlooking someone?

    Maltby out; Abdelkader gets tryout contract

    Hopefully its a minor injury to Malts that he would play through if it was a playoff game.

    3/28 GDT: Blues 4, Red Wings 3 (OT)

    I thought the same thing...they kind of owe Downey a chance to get back at Mayers and Walker after they tried mugging him at the end of the last game here. No way that happens if he and D-Mac are on the ice together.

    Redwings Medallion Collection

    I'll get the free album and will probably buy the Lidstrom medallion. It will depend on the quality of the medallion before I decide to drop $2.99 on 20 more.

    WINGS TIE NHL RECORD

    Yet so many are quick to complain about the Wings front office. Yeah, maybe we don't have as many Stanley Cups as we wish but dammit at least they put us in position to win it for the last 15+ years.

    Both of them landed some good shots. I'd score that one a draw.
