  1. I was listening to 97.1 the Ticket for the first half of the game tonight and he said the same thing to Paul Woods and Ken Kal during the first intermission chat. Followed it up with, 'yeah, we've got a lot of cap space, but the trade deadline isn't like the trade deadline 10 years ago. Those of you looking for change, are outta luck from the sounds of it.

    Bryz's new mask - cool Star Wars theme.

    To bad the force is not strong in this one. http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/blog/eye-on-hockey/21773710/photo-ilya-bryzgalov-has-a-new-incredible-star-wars-mask

    I think people are reading WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much into Yoda's saber color. Clearly it's just orange for the Flyers.
  4. I lived there for 3 years - in the winter time there's not much difference anyway.
  5. Me for one. Buf, Tor and Bos are fine. However, I couldn't give two sharts about the Habs. Much rather watch a Nash/Det tilt that one involving the CH.

    Datsyuk "upper body injury"

    So, what you're saying is - a one-armed guy in a wheelchair.

    Datsyuk "upper body injury"

    Can we just steal uninjured parts from all of the injured players and make a Frankenstein?

    For some good news....

    There's no way we'd be in first. Chicago is looking like world beaters right now. STILL undefeated in regulation.

    When does Nick Jr. Turn Pro?

    Somehow, I just don't think he'd make it to the level of our draft pick numbers - based on pedigree alone.

    Silly Ken Holland video on nhl.com

    Apparently the in-suite tvs weren't working, so KH gets called over to fix them. Its funny to watch your grandpa get mad at the tv set. http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=35&id=200270&navid=nhl:topheads

    Doug Wilson: goalie pads are too big.

    Well, you don't say. Where was this outrage when pillow pants JS Giguere was running rampant? http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/49921-Sharks-GM-Doug-Wilson-others-say-its-time-to-shrink-goalie-pads.html

    Looks like he just wanted to go to the trainer's room for repairs after the takedown/fall. Ha.

    Goalie proposal

    KH: -dialing - *ring ring* CO: Hey, Ken! What's up? KH: Um.. well.. this is kinda awkward. Um, are you busy for the next few months? CO: We tried this before and then I had to bail Hasek's ass out in Nashville. Remember that? *rubs Stanley Cup ring* KH: Um, yeah. Well, you see, we signed... CO: (interrupting) A guy who's injury prone? KH: Yes, and you see the guy on the bench, well.. LGW forums have no confidence in him. CO: Still trolling that place? KH: Yes, it's a guilty pleasure - you know, like watching Honey Boo Boo. CO: Whatever. I'll pick up Drapes and Malts and I'll be there in 30. KH: Um, Chris, about Kirk and Kris. We kind of have a *mumbling* log jam at forward. We like our team. We kicked the tires but no one was available. CO: *sharply* What? KH: Nothing. See you in a bit.
  19. Coach weighs in on the toughness debate and compares TooToo to Downey, McCarty and Drake. The Wings see Tootoo as someone who can help them regain their footing after last year's especially disappointing showing in the playoffs, when they lost in the first round to Tootoo's Predators. Tootoo, who turns 30 on Feb. 2, isn't a big-minutes guy, but it's what he does with those minutes he is on the ice that they like. Babcock sees Tootoo as the same type of player the Wings had on their most recent Stanley Cup winning team, in 2008, when Dallas Drake and Darren McCarty roamed the ice and Aaron Downey was on reserve. "When we won the Cup last, we had great toughness on our team," Babcock said. "Dallas Drake hunted you down, and we had Mac and we had Downs. We had lots of grit. We haven't been near as gritty since. We're not talking about guys to stop and fight at stoppages, we're talking about guys who will get on you and forecheck and make people nervous. He always made us nervous." http://www.freep.com/article/20130115/SPORTS05/301150143/Helene-St-James-Tootoo-brings-just-the-right-touch-of-toughness?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|Detroit%20Red%20Wings

    Paul Kelly: Expansion coming

    According to ousted NHLPA boss, Paul Kelly, the NHL spoke with him about adding 2 more teams. (when this allegedly happened is not clear) WTF?? http://aol.sportingnews.com/nhl/story/2013-01-29/nhl-expansion-paul-kelly-markham-arena-quebec-city-seattle-hockey-coyotes-sale

    1/29 GDT : Stars 1 at Red Wings 4

    They're in 9th, we're in 8th.. I'd say as far as the standings go, the Wings have been quite average as well.
