Anyone having trouble with Sopcast? What do I do when it says the Detroit feed is offline?

Ok I finally figured out the Sopcast thing, but it says the Detroit channel is 'offline'. Help!

HoH, what do I download on that site you showed me? And is that all I have to do?

Ok I click play and an error message comes up. Know what to do?

200-something replies, you all havev too much to say. Where can I watch the game online? Center Ice sucks.

HoH, you gotta post that intro at the beginning of every Wings game. And don't you forget it. It could become a custom; you could change it every year as the roster changes...

Nashville will be eliminated early, while San Jose will be picked clean! Win win.

Nashville is a rival of Detroit, that has been established. But it's hard to hate a terrible team. Don't get me wrong, Nashville is very talented and hard working. But Kariya ans Sullivan were aquired. Timonen was aquired. Forsberg was aquired. Vishnesky and Vokoun... aquired. Arnott, Dumont, Nichol, and Zidlicky were also ALL aquired. Nobody drafted beyond the first round makes the team. The point is, the team is an awful drafter. Not to mention, they traded away their future for a guy who could be injured pretty early into the playoffs (As a matter of fact, it would be a safe bet). Proof, their best prospect: (From HockeysFuture Will Nashville be competitive a few years down the road, when their stars begin to age? Many of them (Forsberg, Kariya, Sullivan, Zidlicky, Arnott, Timonen, and more) are years above 30. I don't think so.

We have no organizational depth. We have an abundance of over-the-hill players. Luckily our drafting is top notch. Nashville's isn't. Just an opinion. Although you all hae convinced me that it's not horrible.

Someone that reads the whole thread=someone who doesn't look like a jackass. This is directed at multiple people. Ok, so who IS a rival? Do we have any?

I was hoping to hear about striped horses. Couldn't you just say 'refs'? Yes, they will, if the end of the season was any indication.

Shh... I need you're calm logic on my side for this one. Tell them how Nashville sucks.

Friggin double posts.

... So! We're better. You guys win. We'll see if my theory pans out.

Oh I see what you mean. I thought you were pointing out that he was at the top of their list, despite being a sucessful NHLer. BTW, they passed up Mezaros, Wolski, and Zajac to get him. We'll see whether it's worth it. It surprises me that they drafted a right winger when they are obviously short on centers (like Wolski). <-- Another testament to their crappy drafting. "Before Detroit games, the meetings are always longer." - Nashville's Paul Kariya Rivalry?

Look up the word prospect. He is a graduated player on the roster. Let me put my arguement another way: Can Nashville hold onto an elite team over the next 3-4 years?

Rivalries are tangible to you and emotional to me. Agree to disagree.

A rivalry is official when the teams hate each other, and the fans hate each other, and there are guys like Tootoo and Chelios. The fact that you cannot acknowledge that they are a great team rests my case. Edit: LOVE your avatar. Emailed it to everyone I know.

Am I just slow, or... huh?

Cory Stillman was a big part of it, so was Staal, but they were offset by Brind'amour's better numbers and the often-dominant play of Whitney. Goaltending was about what it was lst year. Kaberle was injured, but defense was deep with the addition of that LA guy. They may have just been worn out. Next year will be better. Ok, so Carolina was a bad comparison.

1) 3 players does not make great late-round drafting, especially when one of them cannot play the game of hockey. 2) Skrastins, Hall and Upshall; I had no idea so many quality players were tearing up the NHL. 3) I would say that many teams have comparable or better records in the first round. And their picks caould not have been as high as Nashville's, who was a very bad team for awhile. The Wings WOULD be so lucky if they could grab a first rounder. 4) I don't know who they got these players for, but I think if you looked, the results would only support my ideas. I would say they didn't get them for much. Some were late bloomers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ But the Wings could simply replace older players with MORE bought talent. Now they can't. Maltby will be gone next season. Bootland is taking his place. Lang may be gone. Ellis will take his place. We are not too deep. We /are/ paying for it. They traded yound talent for another shot at the cup, which they didn't get. One run at the cup at the expense of next years season does not pan out. That's all I was implying.

Ok, let me start the arguement: "But Sam, if they have aquired stars, what would stop them from continuing to do so?" Well, lets look at New York, circa 1995-2004. As they continue to trade away their picks and prospects for aging vets, the vets will go on to retirement while there will be very little yound talent to clog the holes. Nashville will have to go for whatever they can get, which will not be a Stanley Cup roster. Give it time.

No kidding. But isn't he signed for around 6 million? Lidstrom and Zetterberg are our 6-7 million players. More than two and you better be Ken ******* Holland. Oh wait, not worried.
