    Octopi Question

    First of all you have to pick your timing. At a certain point the wings can get a penalty for delay of game. My guess if you do it during the N. A. you'd be ok. But I would buy an extra ticket aka cheap seats $9 so if you do get thrown out, give them that ticket as your seat, walk around to the other entrence and return to you org. seat.

    Roster on starting day

    And according to Mcwhatever from the MaComb Daily the wings will carry Howard until his broken finger heals. He will count against the 23 man roster.

    I bid you good luck sir. You're attacking 90% of the people here aka "Yanks" You're sparing with one of the girls here which means you're sparing with all of them. and finally if you call a "bird" your girlfriend what do you call a thing with wings, feathers, a beak, and two feet?

    Where's Bud Lynch?

    My guess is you'll hear more of the young guy. The wings want to do more at TV TO with Jennifer and this guy can yell. He was yelling who wants a T-shirt and they were throwing them, plus some times it's hard to hear Bud.

  8. Are you a season ticket holder? If so contact your rep and explain. Believe it or not I have emailed mine with questions around 10pm one night and got a response that night. Can't say it will happen but you never know.

    Oh, well then yes it's worth it. If you have a list of things you want, you might want to call them. A signed jersey is probably more at the arena then there. ANd I'd hate to see you get something at the Joe, and then it's cheaper there, that would suck.

    As much as I hate it too, it is a business. He does have to pay the team, workers, and others, then pay himself. You get a raise every once in a while so why not the beer guy. Plus the stuff to sell isn't getting cheaper. I'm sure the price to run the arena hasn't gotten any cheaper. (you want ice right) Plus it is an old building so it's more. He is trying. He has brought in a Buffalo Wild Wings stand and they were working on some other things. Hopefully there will be more give-aways this year. It seems like a group bought out the boxes between the miller lite party deck and the legends club, so that's not for us, but still improving. Also, I believe he's playing the Phoenix card and charging more for bigger games due to out of towners buying tickets. Season ticket holders got last years prices for ALL games. We weren't charged the up charge for big games. So if you remember that it doesn't all go into his pocket and the beer guy deserves a raise, may be it won't be so bad. Yea we can *****, and it will make us feel better, but I can see why.

    Is it worth it, depends what you want. Since you're going to the game, probably not. That is if you're looking for jerseys and player stuff. You will find more of the less named player stuff. Signed and game worn. Lots of Pictures. However if you're looking for sweatshirts and shirts not really worth it (IMO) 15 to 20 min to the joe?? Hmmm 5pm most people are trying to get out of town, however the 75-696 interchange is a pain. If you plan on going to another game, I'd skip it. Not worth missing opening night. The joe has a lot of the stuff they have there. I go once a year. They might have lots of SCF stuff on sale though now that I think about it.

    Sad day indeed OsGod. Glad you got to keep your job. I guess you won't be needing that reference for the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader lockerroom boy. It's tough in MI. I keep hearing people talk about the last time Mi was this bad. People keep saying, last one out turn out the lights.

    Ugh, I swear the young ones one this board are slowing down. First of all don't let it get to you he's a dumb ass. If you remember one thing and one thing only from this, remember this: If someone says I don't remember anything, I was drunk. Your response should always, always be, "do you remember when I ran and got us some more ____ (beer, drink, food) and you said you didn't have any money but would pay me back. Well you owe me $X . And he says no you didn't, I remember that. Kick him in the balls and say I thought you said you didn't remember. Or you'll get the money if he's not lying.

    Really it's not your fault that you are H-O-T and a wings fan. May be if she knew what "drop the gloves" ment, she'd be in.

    How do you identify a fake jersey?

    Ummm you're in Japan, who cares, as far as most of them know it IS a real jersey. After you explain to them what hockey is, hell you can say Z wore it and you're good to go.
