Haha I love Mickey's stories. "One time I knocked this dude's teeth out with my stick" type stories will always be awesome.

That's one of the worst hooking calls I've seen. They had couple bad ones against the Caps last night too though. Erskine and Backstrom both got hooking calls for lifting other players' sticks.

nice

Damn that woulda been a disgusting goal by Flip. Good PP so far though. Sort of, anyway.

Let's get another super quick PPG. Unless the 2nd unit starts it, then let's wait until the 1st unit gets out there to score.

Nice goal Rafalski. Now get like 8 more guys.

Wow, scary ending. That stuff isn't supposed to work.

Flip smoked Backes, that was pretty sweet.

Wow sick steal by Pavs there. I score a lot of goals in NHL 08 from the angle he had to come in from there. Just sayin...

Little better tap pass there and that was a full-blown 2-on-0

Boooooo. Is that a minus for McCarty? I say we trade him!

At least he broke it blocking a shot. Gotta love Cleary's intensity so far tonight. That was missed big time while he was gone.

That's not a penalty if that's anyone on the Blues but Kariya.

Sweeeeeet, D-Mac with his 2nd shift. Can't say I'm stoked about the line combo though.

Cleary giving it right back. Looks like it's gonna be a real physical game.

Grind line starts. Nice one, Babs.

Nice little Mac video montage there. Goddamn am I excited.

Damn, why can't I get SM-Liiga games here if you can get NHL games there?

An OT win is not a blowout. Other than that I like it

Haha, didn't you say something in another thread about postponing your brother's birthday dinner tonight for D-mac's return or something like that? And now you have tickets to the game instead? You must be really good at manipulating your parents.

14-2 Red Wings Datsyuk gets 9 points to break 100. This has become my standard prediction, and will continue to be so until it happens.

They were talking about this on XM204 the other day, Hradek and LaGreca I think. They were saying how they wouldn't be opposed to a ban or stricter penalties for fighting in lower levels of hockey because of stuff like this; because a bunch of 16 and 17 year olds don't always understand when it's ok to fight and when it's not, how to do it and how not to, etc... They definitely make a valid point, but I don't like seeing fighting being banned anywhere. But for the government to do is just downright ridiculous. This is nothing short of a knee-jerk reaction.

Can I have a player's entire shooting mechanism? Or do I have to just take his arms or something?

Yep, you got it And welcome.

Haha, that's the greatest part of the Olympia Club - no line for the bathrooms. No, you can't. Unless they changed it. You need a membership to the Olympia Club to be able to go there. For the most part yeah. I've seen them let women wearing tennis shoes in after some protest, but I've also seen them turn people away for jeans more than a couple times. One time there were these guys that came from Toronto or something for a game and to go to the Olympia. They got turned away because they had tennis shoes on. I felt so bad for them that I almost offered to switch shoes with one of them I'll vouch for Legends Club too. I haven't actually been at the Joe, but I've been to the Champions Club at Comerica. It's such a great way to watch the game.
