    Wings At The All Star Break..

    No, not at all, I've had a truck load of fun watching the Wings dominate night in and night out. It's just that EVIL little voice in the back of my head that says: "Don't get too excited, we've seen this all before..." Sergei had a great point though...the difference this year is that the younger players will have great deal more cinfidence heading into the playoffs....

    Sick of all the NHL commercials this year

    No prob, as for scoring 10 points, ahhh what a dream, I haven't scored 10 points in 4 years of pick up hockey!

    Favorite to least Favorite Wings Players

    If I were prone to man-crushes they would be for Hank & Ozzie!! I have NO USE for Samuelsson or Drake.......

    Nash puts the puck on a string

    That is un-freakin' real. If I we're Gretzky I would have just thrown my hands up and said" That's it I quit!"

    Blake pining to become a Wing?

    So if these two rumours are true (Blake and Hossa) whom does Kenny go after, because I can't see him getting both......??

    Ugliest player in the NHL?

    Okay is Datsyuk really that ugly? Or is it just because his head is shaped like an upside down triangle?

    Ryan Smyth out with an ankle injury

    This is true, you didn't say that, I think maybe it just came across that way. I think that may have been CSdan's point as well. The best example I can use is that I am also a football fan, as well as hockey, and I think the "black hole" fans that attend Raider games need to seriously get a life, BUT I don't begrudge them for rooting for their team ( even though they suck almost as bad as the Lions...) It pisses me off when I hear fans in other arenas chant "Osgood, Osgood..." but I get it, they're being fans and trying to get under the other teams/players skin...it's what we do as fans. So if you're simply stating that you hate the Avs , fair enough, I do too !! ( along with the Maple Loafs, Sharks, and the Anaheim Mighty Sucks! )

    Ryan Smyth out with an ankle injury

    GMR, gotta back CSdan up on this one. I loathe the Avalanche, but their fans have passion and root for their team. I despise the Maple Loafs, but their fans are near fanatical. How can you diss someone for being passionate about their hometown team??? That IS classless, I have family in Colorado and have worn a Red Wings shirt their many times only to have people say, "The Wings, SUCK, dude!!" to which I just smile and say "Fair enough...". I do not wish serious injury on any player no matter WHAT team he plays for. Because karma is truly a *****, and some NHL fan SOMEWHERE is rooting for an injury to a Wings player. So in CSdan's case , I agree, show a little class........

    sell outs at the JLA

    I am totally with OsGOD on this one. I also have about a 1/2 hour drive from the Joe, but I have not been to a game in over two years, reason: It is just not in the budget. My son is a HUGE football fan, and I haven't been to a Lions game in 4 years for the exact same reason. Could I squeak it into the budget? Oh sure, but there is just so much more I could spend my hard earned money on. This is NOT to say that I am NOT a fan, I think I've only missed 3 games on TV all year ( whether it be live or on TiVo ). But because of gas, parking, etc... it is much less stressful to stay home with a 6 pack and some hot wings and watch the game on TV. Also....Illitch really needs to get a clue with the "cheap seats" and concessions at the Joe. My son and I went to 4 Tigers games this past year, and hmmm, go figure, I had VERY decent seats, bought drinks , and hot dogs and a SMALL souvenir for the kid, and STILL managed to come home with a few $$$ in my pocket.....

    Help with song played 3rd period Wings game

    I'm taking everyone's word for it that the title is "O Fortuna", as I am not sure of the title, but I do know for a fact it was used in the movie "Excalibur".........

    Crosby gets a Gordie Howe Hat Trick

    Outstanding! Is it just me, or does it seem like fighting has been much more commonplace this year than in years past? I hope it's just not me, because I am an "old school" guy who believes fighting is GOOD for the game. ( to an extent of course...).

    If Bettman stepped down as commissioner....

    If Gary Bettman stepped down as commisioner, we would have World Peace.
