Ditto here in Harrison Township...which is in Macomb County. Awesome.

Better Justin.tv link: http://www.justin.tv/nyr1994 More live then the other..and smoother.

I can't tell from your post if this was an authentic or not, although I think you're saying it is. To be the bad news bearer, the lettering is not authentic on this jersey. The wings use a typeface that slants each individual letter and these are just letters that are rotated. Authentic:

I think what you meant to say was he looks like Teddy Roosevelt.

Ryan Miller will be with the Sabres for 5 extra years. http://sabres.nhl.com/team/app/?service=pa...rticleid=368707

That's what I heard, too!

Further..the two cups were held in 1996 and 2004. So we're not due until 2012 if they keep the 8 year gap

Shores Inn is in St. Clair Shores on Mack Avenue, just south of 9 Mile on the East side. Plenty of parking in rear. I spend many games there. Derian's Hatchy's in Utica is also very nice for Wings games. Flat screen TV at every booth. Oh, also: They changed the official JoeVision watching place to Hockeytown this year...as proven by the 80 emails the Red Wings website sends me a week. I can see them possibly reintroducing JoeVision in the Finals if we make it.

And it's Jose as of tonight: http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/hnicplayof...h_for_detr.html Also:

That's why you have two mother effin refs...the first guy never would have seen it because he was looking exactly where he should be. And it was a penalty that HAD to be called.

Is anyone else getting commercials in the middle of play? It started in the pregame. It just cuts away from the game to go to commercial!

Certainly not true. All goals are rounded to the highest second remaining. You don't normally see tenths of seconds until the game is under 1 minutes. A goal scored w/ 59.4 seconds left will be marked at 19:00. A goal scored w/ 22.1 will be recorded at 19:37 and finally, in our example above, NO goal should ever be recorded at 20:00. If the time was more than 0.0 seconds than the goal must be recorded as 19:59. EDIT: This is shown by the game sheet of the game in question found at : http://stats.theahl.com/stats/official-gam...game_id=1004548 The goal was recorded at 19:59, not 20:00..just a mistake by the PA announcer.

The Holmstrom Effect will follow us all year.

FSN HD sucks for everyone again tonight I assume? Awesome..

It's clearly a little joke all the sites have contributed to. It's been this way for years..I remember an article on either ESPN or Fox Sports that talked about it.

Just as a note...Datsyuk definitely has an A tonight as well.

People! It looks like we're getting the radio feed AS WELL as the feed from the jumbotron at the Excel center. The wild TV crew isn't there so its the only video they have.

Seriously? The NHL just doesn't get it. What in the world do they think most people are watching on New Year's Day? It's a sporting event, but it sure isn't hockey. *EDIT* Ahhh wait, both of these articles are from July 10th, when the talk of this was first brought up. Nothing new to report and certainly not official

Kopecky will be sporting #82, actually.

I'd be kind of surprised if anyone in the NHL, let alone just Detroit, wears the number 91 in the future. Just like no one would ever choose number 66 or 68, even outside of Pittsburgh. I'm not necessarily comparing Fedorov to Lemieux...but it's an odd enough number to wear that people would immediately compare you to that person if you were to choose the number.

It's all good...we have JR coming in to take his place next year

Every personal penalty in the NHL rule book has an optional Major Penalty for injury causing penalties. Interference was the only penalty that didn't have the option. Now it's the same across the board.

I tried to start a thread discussing the likelyhood of #91 and #14 being retired..but then i realized I had to post here first Juuuust kidding. I won't be the starter of that thread when it is sure to happen again.

I'm definitely with the previous poster on being surprised that this came up tonight. As soon as I saw him just lazily try to pass the puck out of the zone, I knew even before the camera changed that the pass was picked off at the blue line and that if they scored I was going to cuss out Markov to myself. And sure enough I did.

I had a hockey game to referee at Great Lakes in Fraser. I was listening to the game in my car in the parking lot...it was 2-0 when I finally had to go in and get ready. All the fans watching the game I was doing kept running to the lobby every time we scored to watch the replay.
