WingNutt

With the USA and Canada game at 12:00 and the Finland Sweden game going on right now, does anyone have a link to a decent stream for the remaining. I have tried Justin.tv but those feeds always get shut down and the NBC website wants to charge or something after the first half hour of watching. thanks in advance everyone and Go USA

EVeryone in Michigan live close enough to Canada we should be able to get the CBC feed haha, I just saying CBC is part of my Cable package so that should count for something.

never gets old lol

What he said, its obvious why Parise chose Minnesota. It was more about location than money or being on a stanley cup contender. Family came first apparently

Silver Lining, Parise and Suter still will both be playing for the Red White and Blue in the upcoming Olympics in Russia.. ???

drumnj any chance you can post (share) that animated wallpaper?? you would make a lot of Wings fans happy and a Nashville fan at my work would be quite irritated by seeing it all day

Another thing that makes me sick, is that the NHL11 cover is going to be the second year for Hawks player being on the cover, last year was Kane, now this year is Toews, stupid s***. I'm not even a big fan or anything but think Steven Stamkos deserved the cover for his play this past season, or why not a red wing?? I could have seen Pavel, Z, or Lidstrom all being a perfect candidate for the cover this season.

posted in GDT before last game, figured I need to follow the same routine for good luck, Lets go Wings, lets remind the Sharks who we are one more time. 60 minutes of solid Red Wing hockey

fair weather fan ? You should know what the Wings are capable of. The only question with tonights game is which Wings team will show up?? I know they can Win any given night, problem is will they come to play or be the team that plays as though they don't want to put in effort to win.

bump

One of the things I love about our sport, is how loyal we fans are to our team, and the crazy fans and traditions teams have. As any wings fan knows we have Mo Cheese guy that dresses up with weird hats and dances at every game to hey moe!, The Orange Hat Guy, and a lady that knits. All infamous fans that bring something special and different to our team, and as far as tradition goes, We have the Octopi, Nashville has Catfish, Florida Panthers have plastic Rats, and so on. The Canucks have these crazy guys that dress in all green spandex head to toe, and they mess with the visiting teams players who visit the penalty box try to get in their heads at how weird and bizarre the whole thing is. In Calgary they have a little 11 year old kid that dress up like Kiprusoff and mimics his every move, He has goal pads, jersey, matching mini mask, they call him little-kipper. Every team has something special and unique like this If you guys know some of the others post them up discuss and see how either crazy NHL fans are or how committed they are as fans to make it special for their home team. Another thing to consider is the tradition of the hat trick. this one has been around a long time and every team and hockey fan honors it what other sport is this great?

yeah he imitates every little detail that kipper does. now that is a fan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmhkazMc5Wk I also just noticed something creepy in the mo cheese picture, looks like the guy holding the beer in the background is checking out moe's back view with a creepy smile on his face haha

Not sure if anyone knows or not but, I have noticed throughout the NHL and other hockey leagues, including a few players in Beer Leagues I've seen. There is a new fashion trend in hockey, where with visors are starting to push them up so much that the top edge of the visor nearly touches the bottom edge of their helmet, Cindy Crysby is one of the players sporting this look, and actually our own Kronwall as well as others. I figure some of them don't want the visor getting in the way of their vision so why wear one at all? I suppose it would help with protecting their eyes when they are looking down in the corners or at least protect their foreheads. Even players during the Olympics were doing this mostly Canadians, thanks god Pavel, Z and others are not doing this. and I'm also Glad Ovie is wearing his visor the proper way as well. I personally thing it looks stupid and wanted everyone input and see if anyone else has noticed this season.From playing hockey my whole life I've noticed Hockey trends come and go. I remember the socks being pulled over top of the heels and sometimes the front of the skates, also remember the trend of some players cutting the inside portion of their pants so they could have better movement or hockey pants gangsta style.

they have all kinds of different visor colors now, Mclaren who used to play for San Jose uses one, Ovie had a blue in the all star game a few years back. Ovie Blue Visor well I would say the "TREND" is starting this year, one guy wearing it for a few years doesn't make it a trend. This season is the first year multiple players are doing it, and players that didn't have it like that before example is Crosby. watch and see how many more guys start copying this, it looks so stupid

wow what a bad idea, April fools or not, do you guys remember when the Pistons changed their whole logo colors and everything to that ugly ass teal black and yellow stuff from the Grant Hill era? with the flaming horse on the front lol ?? it would be almost as bad as that. Thank god they changed back to red white and blue the pistons have the best colors in the NBA with them. Trying to make us into a Cali team?? Remember the LA Kings Yellow Purple jerseys haha wow, and how about the Lakers same thing ugly ass colors.

So has Canada and we all know what happened with that game, besides, both US and Finland have to beat another team before we can even begin talking about this matchup better watch out for Karma, Latvia almost upset the Czech's last night so anything can happen we might be talking about the Swiss playing the Czechs' although never underestimate the determination of Americans

Datsyuk, Ovechkin, Malkin, Kovalchuk... enough said. Can't wait for this game, Time to take it to the Canadians on their home ice,

couldn't agree more, I like how everyone is saying the US won this game by a fluke, that's bulls*** the entire US team played their hearts out and came out with the win. Miller was amazing, Falski was amazing, young fast talent, no egos, just playing for the Red White and Blue

Well its not helping out Canada very much, I think Canada might have lost the only thing they could ever try to claim as their own ( they obviously don't have anything else as far as culture goes, they copy the US culture like its their own only thing they got going for them is Tim Hortons haha), USA, Russia, and Czech's all looking better than your mighty team Canada this time around even with Cindy Crosby playing on the team, what was he a minus 2 or 3 last night I forget? Congrats US,

After reading the #1 hockey country thread, I was thinking about Hockey's popularity in general as far as how much is played and watched and the general location the Pros grew up playing. in USA it would have to be between Michigan and Minnesota, I live and play hockey in Michigan so I would have to say Michigan because I know first hand how big the game is here and how many passionate people there are about the sport of ice hockey here, not just Red Wings fans or people who watch the sport on TV, I'm talking Michiganders who live and breath hockey, Little Caesars, Honey Baked, Travel hockey, High school hockey, Beer Leagues, etc etc. Minnesota is similar as far as I know as well. both Northern States with Brutal winters and plenty of Lakes, We have always had the better Pro franchise though haha. Canada, I know Ontario has the similar popularity of not only viewers but players. Russia, Omsk hockey is huge here as well What are your thoughts?

yeah I would put Boston at 3rd probably, although Illinois is higher than most would expect also. I also left out the consideration of College teams, Michigan, Michigan State are both really strong hockey teams, along with Ferris State. We all know the Golden Gophers always have a amazing team, and Boston as well. Another over looked state is Maine, I've heard hockey is pretty popular over there as well.

not trying to be a jerk but this is the wrong place to post this.

I absolutely love the new opening video they made for the start of Wings games this season, I think it captures a typical night at the Joe and all the special people that all contribute to make this the best hockey city in the world, HockeyTown. The music goes perfect with the video, with ennio morricone's classic "L'Estasi Dell'oro. Everything in it symbolizes the passion for the game of hockey in Michiganfrom Little Caesars travel hockey team, to the staff at the Joe, the players prepping for the game, broadcast team getting ready etc etc. Awesome video if you haven't seen it yet they have it online at redwings.nhl.tv I was just curious to see what everyone thought of it and what your favorite parts were etc etc. Go Wings

Yes, you go type redwings.nhl.tv into your address bar and its like the 3rd or 4th video down. Let me know what you think

I agree with all of this 100% I also like how you don't even mention Howards name LOL!! man he is terrible
