    Red Wings Sponsor?

    I actually bought into Amway a couple of years ago. What a complete line of Bulls*** this company is! They basically make their money off their Independent Business Owners (Me) because you have to purchase your own items from Amway or your not following the scheme! I wish I could meet the Son of a ***** that got me into Amway in a Dark Alley! I'd Probably Tie Domi his pencil neck geek ass! Oh well, lesson learned.

    Away Games

    I have seen the Wings play in Nashville and Colorado. I would have to say the atmosphere is much better in Nashville since the Crowd is about 50/50. The Nashville fans have no idea what they are cheering for or against, all they know is if its Red and White they do not cheer for it! Pretty simple, but hey, its Nashville they are not the most intelligent people around (trust me I wasted 5 years of my life down there). Colorado was fun, I was suprised at how nice people were to me. The Pepsi Center is a great venue and I loved Denver. Denver was a ton of fun! I have also been to Mellon Arena and that Stadium SUCKED!! What a Dump, and I have also been to Nassau Coliesum in New York for an Islanders game, that stadium was even worse than Mellon! I also atteneded a game in the Meadowlands home of the Devils. Great Place, Plenty of Parking and I mean PLENTY of parking. The place was ice cold though, other than that great people in all venues. Have fun in BC! and as always...... GO WINGS!!!

    NHL Research and Development Camp:

    I don't know if I like the proposal of the no icing if you are short handed either!! I'm also not in favor of having to serve the entire 2 minutes, and the main reason for this is simply because of all the BS calls that get called on the interference and garbage. It makes a bad call look even worse. I would like the idea of getting rid of the trapezoid and I never understood why they put that rule in anyway! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get rid of the damn Shootouts, if they are not going to serve a purpose, they why waste the time. 4 on 4 and then 3 on 3, if still tied, then tie the damn game! Seriously!! I really like the changes to the net with the "green zone" and the better overhead camera angles and the shorter nets. All in all I like what the league is doing, but honestly there is not much to change. Just simply go back to the pre-lockout rules and all will be well again. There was nothing wrong with the game before the lockout, so just revert back! Just my two cents!

    Weber Arbitration hearing...

    This just shows that everything I have said about the Nashville Predators is true! A JOKE Organization!! You are not going to come to terms with your franchise player????? WTF!! This would be like the Wings saying see ya to Zetterberg or Datsyuk!! And yet, people still follow the Preds, but then again the people down there in TN are not the sharpest pencils in the box either!

    Detroit Fans Have Turned Ugly

    That is exactly whay I thought when I read this article too. I served in the Navy as well, and I wanted nothing more than to come home to Michigan/Detroit why????? Because its home, not because we hate the Lions organization! All of his opinions valid or not are all open ended and that is not a good premise for an arguement!

    Detroit Fans Have Turned Ugly

    I'm confused at which angle the writer was going with this story? One thing is for certain he has never taken a Logic course. First its wrong for me to get pissed at anything, but then its ok to do so???? I'm suprised the Free Press actually posted this article! Not good at all, not to mention he never backed up anything he stated with facts. Oh well, we all have our opinions I suppose!

    Thank You Chris Osgood!

    I actually remember that game on UPN 50 that RedWings TV showed in Ozzie debut. We were in need of a young goalie at the time, and Chevy was for the most part on his way out as our Goaltender and Reindeau was a joke in the first place, so in comes this "baby face goalie" and 20+ years later Ozzie is hanging them up. As I sit here in my office typing this, I look around at all the Stanley Cup Championship newspapers and autographs that I have and none and I mean NONE of this would have been possible without this guy in net. Sure, Vernie won 1997, and Dom in 2002 but whenever the Wings needed a win, Ozzie always steped up to the plate. I gave this guy soooo much s*** throughout his career and he always made me eat crow. I sure hope that Ozzie realizes how much the fans of the Detroit RedWings love him and I will miss him not being in net, but I will never forget the memories this "baby faced" goalie gave me as a Wings fan. If Ozzie is not in the Hall of Fame soon, than the NHL has failed. Thanks again Ozzie! You deserve it!!

    nashville's new home jersey

    The actual reason they have a Sabertooth Tiger is when they were digging the foundation for the Bridgestone Arena they dug up a fossil of a Sabertooth Tiger! So when it was time to vote for the team logo and what not, it was decided to use the Sabertooth Tiger! Anyway, there is not a hell of a lot you can do with this logo and I still do not understand why they keep changing the frickin logo every 2 years! I understand its for sales, but to have your fans buy new jerseys and merchandise every 2 years is pushing the envelope! And yes, the 60's called and they want their Yellow back please!

    Bettman aiming to overhaul cap?

    I cannot agree more! But hey, the South has been dragging this nation down for Hundreds of years, why change now!!

    Wings looking to sign Drury?

    That is the best response I have seen in sometime!! I use to bartend in Pontiac and we would get women in there like that! Too funny!!

    Wiz is a dick.

    Fair Market Value..... So Wiz gets a front end loaded deal that will pay him 7 million the first year and I think its 5.5 the next 3 or something. He is saying that is fair market????? So.... he is a better defensemen than Lidstrom???? RIIIIIIGGGHHHT! Sorry Wiz, fair market for you is what Ericsson got! There is a reason Chicago shipped you out at the trade deadline the year they won the cup and then Anaheim didn't want ya! Hmmm..... Good Luck in The nations armpit!!!

    Stamkos Re-Signs With Lightning

    I remember when Tampa made that deal and was like holy s***, I like Vinny and all, but damn!! Now they may have to let one of the best players in the league walk away because of that! Lets face it Stamkos has more skill than Vinny! I think he is better all around and he is probably asking for the same type of numbers. Just one issue, Vinny has a ring.... Stammer does not!

    Wings re-sign Ericsson to 3-year, $9.75m contract

    This is the worse signing in a very long time for Holland! We just signed a guy do does not play phyiscal and gets beat to every God damn loose puck! Joe Thornton and many other Shrks players made this guy look like a pylon! If we do not get another top D-man by this weekend, we are doomed! Now we can't even trade Errorson, not even Brian Burke would pick this contract up!

    Nashville's New Logos

    Yeah!! You fit in to what I am explaining, but I digress....You'll never understand, I respect that your a Preds fan and I have no problem with that! I just have a problem when a team that refuses to try to win and actually make money and then turns around and changes logo's and such so that the fans shell out more! What is this the third time in five years they have changed logo's or jersey's, Good God Man!! I will say this, I use to live in Nashville, and the town is a complete joke. For that matter the entire state is a complete joke!

    Nashville's New Logos

    Who cares.....Its Nashville!!! This organization simply just keeps playing these redneck fans like a fiddle and the idiots keep buying the teams crap!! Joke City and Joke Fans= Joke Organization! Hopefully this team will move to Quebec soon!!
  19. Donaldjr2448

    Is THIS team good enough to go the distance?

    I actually like this!! Tim Connolly would be a great pick up and those Defensive pairings are SOLID!! I wouldn't mind seeing Huds gone, but you make a great point baout what he did with those line mates!

    Epic Boooing of Bettman

    After the Boston Bruins earned their first Stanley Cup in 39 years, the Commissioner of the NHL came on to the ice to present the Conn Smythe trophy. Before Bettman could reach the red carpet, the Boo's began raining down from the stands. I have watched sports for over 25+ years and I have never heard Boo's like that for one person! I also have never laughed soooo loud in my life either. I think we can all agree that Bettman totally deserves this, but I wonder if he got the message? If former players do not like him, and the fans; whats the point of staying at your current work place? I understand he is good for the owners, but I do not believe his best interest is in the game! I guess the better question would be, would the boo's have been as loud if Vancouver was being presented the Cup??? My guess is yes, but its hard to say! Anyway, I could go on about different angles of this, but what is everyone else's thoughts????

    Congrats to Timmy Thomas

    Congrads Timmy! I have been a big fan of this guy for awhile now. He struggled at the beginning of the year and then took over when Rask started to decline. I too live near the Flint area and would LOVE to see Timmy T bring Stanley back to its home!! Maybe Holland can convince him to sit behind Jimmy Howard next year Just Kiddin!

    No, No, NO! Jagr interested in Detroit.

    I'll pass as well! About 12 years ago I would have jumped at the chance, but not now! Sure, he was a horse in the World Championships, but lets face it, I do not think he can handle the grind of the NHL. Please, go to Pittsburgh and join Crysby!!

    Raymond out 3-4 months

    Perhaps a game time decision!!!! Seriously though, hate to see guys get injured, but that hit looked difficult to judge anything on!

    Red Wings offer assistant Paul MacLean extension

    Hey ya never know, the Wings may sign Hitchcock for the D and Ron Wilson for O Whouldn't that be something!! YANTAHO!!! Or whatever he said to the Capitals in the Cup Final in 1998!

    Ryane Clowe: Kronwalled After All!

    Well.... Vancouver and Chicago players talk the most crap on the ice! I personally believe that Chicago takes the cake, but I remember this video from a couple of years ago With Kesler and Burrows as well as Bieksa against the Blues. I agree with Trash talking and what not on the ice and I have no issue with it, however when you bring someones family into the trash talking, I do have a problem with it! Call each other a puss or pull your balls out or whatever, but when you brings someones wife into the frame, it's over the line!
