Let's Go Wings! Beat the Kings!

Go Wings! Beat the Rags!

This is interesting considering it's the season after a 1/2 season lost to a lockout. Y'all think Gary's stupid. He could probably out 'Keyser Soze' Keyser Soze. Makes me think of Field of Dreams - "If I re-open it, they will come." Wonder if this means the NHL is moving up the overall popularity chart or if the fanbase is just more attentive? We all know hockey fans are a dedicated, die-hard bunch, but are they expanding? http://extramustard.si.com/2014/01/08/nhl-versus-nba-attendance/ TLDR: More NHL cities are running at 100% sellouts than NBA cities. Couple this with the NFL issues last weekend where they couldn't sellout PLAYOFF games, it becomes an interest read.

No there aren't. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUlyh2Aj0vU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3hjEOTU71Y

Better yet, how does an arena that holds 20,066 somehow average 23,780? Did they throw in the Winter Classic's 105K to up the average since it was technically a home game??? Quick math... 105K/~23 home games.. ~4565 added to each game.. I think that's what they did.. How positively anomalous. That's silly.

Canada vs. the World. They didn't figure either team would medal - makes sense since these folks were deemed not good enough for the ACTUAL Olympics. http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/how-would-canadian-all-snubs-do-against-world-all-snubs/

Don't worry, he didn't make THAT team either.

GOAL directly related to Howard not taking possession of that puck and stopping play. Grrrrr.

At least that's something. Sucks that someone double dipped tho.

I have my tickets and I'm at the event, but I can't get into the venue. We have an excellent Trust and Safety team dedicated to preventing problems just like this. If you can't get into the venue because there is something wrong with the tickets, call us immediately at 1.866.STUBHUB (1.866.788.2482). Our Customer Service team will immediately start working on finding you tickets that are as good as, or better than, the ones you bought. If for some reason they're unsuccessful, you will get a full refund, including service and delivery fees.

Little problem with that theory.. 11/19/13 - In his FIFTH NHL appearance, Marek Mazanec stopped all 27 shots he faced for his first NHL shutout to lead the Nashville Predators to a 2-0 win against the Red Wings. Nothing's a given. http://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/recap?id=2013020316

The whole water bottle debacle was hilarious. My wife and I were laughing since they sound like our 5 and 6 year-olds fighting over a Barbie. I was waiting for the ref to give them a 'time out' and make them go sit in the corner - not a penalty - but an actual time out.. haha

I found that story pretty funny as well. http://www.letsgowings.com/forums/topic/75656-hull-avery-doesnt-get-to-talk-to-sakic/?hl=avery

It even includes a goalie fight. http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/the-top-10-nhl-fights-on-2013/ interesting fact: 7 out of 10 involved at least 1 Eastern Conference team.

That's not as nefarious as it seems. On 24/7 they mentioned that they ran out of stalls with so many people on IR.

I'm with ya.

CHARGES DROPPED. http://t.co/R34wUq1GxX

Um, come again now? Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?

Just got a text from the Wings. Stevie Y WILL PLAY in the Alumni GAME!!!! In case anyone is wondering.. text a message to 21732 and it should reply something about joining.

What's the joke/reference?

Go Wings!

Great behind the scene story about 'respect' in the NHL among veterans (even those on different teams). FYI.. I liked Avery simple because he was.. un... predictable. http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/previously-untold-sean-averyjoe-sakic-story-shows-how-nhl-veterans-enforce-on-ice-respect/

Does that mean he got fired from his 'job' at American Jewelry and Loan?

You just wanna watch pr0n.
