    Zetterberg named TSN's Player of the Year

    Z is awesome, I can say I have been a dedicated Wings fan since 1985, and he REALLY is the best two way player I have ever seen on a Wings Roster (yes, even better than Sergei..). Now I have a dilemma, I have money burning a hole in my pocket, do I buy a Hank jersey? Or a Mule Jersey? Help!

    I am SO glad this thread was posted, my AC has been broken since last Friday, and i am delirious from the heat, I would have totally forgotten it was on tonight!

    ESPN takes shots at Detroit sports teams

    Okay seriously, is there a POINT at ALL to this article, does it actually serve any purpose whatsoever other than to show the writer's FLAMING IGNORANCE?

    Roster Prediction Thread

    I've seen Cheli's name in almost every predicted line up so far? Has there been any realistic speculation on his possible retirement?

    2008 Stanley Cup Gear Checklist.

    I have been STRICTLY FORBIDDEN by my family to buy ANYTHING until Father's Day. So I have a feeling I'm going to get hooked up quite nicely on Sunday!

    what is everyone's problem?

    No, actually I accept FULL responsibility for the loss! Yesterday without even thinking I got dressed for the office, putting on black pants, and a yellow shirt! DUH! Then, I got home and realized the Wings flag had not been on the front of the house all day like it is for every game day. AND I didn't call my brother in law in Colorado before the game like I do, EVERY game. These are unforgivable errors, that WILL NOT be repeated on Wednesday !! My apologies to all!

    Best place in Detroit to buy Red Wings merchandise

    If you're looking for Stanley Cup merchandise, I was quite shocked when I was at Wal-mart of all places. The t-shirts were very nice, you could WCC shirts in black gray or red. OR you could get SCF shirts with Sid & Hank on it, or just the Wings and Pens logos and they were only 13$ !!

    Man the Pens board is just as bad as their coach...

    Flyer fans? Hell, ANY Philadelphia sports fan period. I believe if you are born and raised a Philadelphia sports fan, the gene that provides "class" is automatically sucked out of your DNA .

    You two crack me up! Ticket Bastard! They do have quite a racket going, it SHOULD be illegal!!! That being said, Joe Vision! I can't wait, it will be a blast!!!!

    Anyone worried about game 3 at all?

    This is probably the least amount of stress I have had getting ready to watch a SCF game in my life! Even if (heaven forbid) the Wings lose, I still can't be worried. Seriously does anyone here think Pittburgh can win 4 games before the Wings win 2 ?? I think the biggest key is to weather the storm for the 1st five minutes of the game. The Pens will probably throw everything at them including the kitchen sink. If they can get past that intial flurry, I think they will dominate the rest of the game.

    SCF getting more viewers

    This can only be a good thing. A team full of young stars , the so called "future" of the NHL vs. the most dominant team of the past 12 years. I HATE to say but I almost hope the Pens win A game to help boost ratings a little more. I think the only way ratings could be better for the league at this point is if it were the Wings and the Rangers.

    Lets count how many times they say Sidney Crosby

    Better yet, let's see how many times the name Sidney Crosby is combined with words and phrases like: Stymied, Neutralized, Shut Down, Frustrated, Knocked off the Puck, Dominated, and Ineffective!

    Time for some respect

    I too, tried to keep my mouth shut about the Great Goalie Debate most of the season, because for the majority of the year, BOTH goalies have been very solid(sometimes GREAT) in net. I CAN; HOWEVER say that prior to the season, I was not a big fan of the Wings using Hasek for yet one more year. But, no harm no foul, everything has worked out VERY well, wouldn't everyone agree on that? The cool part is that Ozzie is only 35, he can be a solid starter for 3 more years, and if Howard doesn't pan out (which IMHO I don't think he will...) those 3 years can give Holland some time to find and develop our "true" goalie of the future!

    Osgood Is a Diver

    I didn't get to watch the press conference did Sidney say Osgood dove, or did Therrien? Because if it was SIDNEY than: "Hello Pot? This is Kettle, YOU'RE BLACK!" As for Ozzie, I can honestly say I am in AWE, and the crowd chanting his name relentlessly at the end of the game last night gave me goose bumps! Ozzie has now officially earned a "man crush" from me.

    Expecting anyone to step up?

    Sorry, I meant good as in chipping in on the score sheet. You're right defensively and physically he has had a good playoff run...

    Expecting anyone to step up?

    It was really cool seeing Drake have a good game in Game 6 against Dallas, I would love to see that trend continue.....

    Awesome Stanley Cup Finals Commercial

    Geez, go figure, the NHL finally does something right! That is one helluva commercial!

    Wings/Pistons

    I remember in 1989 The Pistons were NBA champs, and Michigan won the NCAA basketball title. There was a giant billboard coming from Ohio into Michigan that showed both teams and said : "Welcome to Michigan, Basketball Capital of the World"

    Penguins franchise deserves no credit

    Okay, I realize that Dakine is in Hawaii, so I won't see a response to this until tomorrow, but classifying Mario as a quitter, and implying he is a GIRL, is THE most stupid, idiotic, assinine thing I have read on these boards in quite some time. Grow up, and learn a little hockey history ...dude....

    Welcome Pens Fans

    No kidding this IS a blast, yesterday I bought my 1st Conf. Champ t-shirt in 6 years (too bad it's too FREAKIN' cold to wear it, Global Warming! BAH!!!) It's too bad the Pens will have to lose eventually but they will be VERY good for many years to come! As for Super Bowl XL, I still have the Terrible Towel I bought that weekend, I had to root for the Steelers in that game because I can't STAND Matt Hasselbeck.
