I know this is stupid and nitpicky, but the A is ALTERNATE, not assistant Captain. If you're going to win an argument, you have to be flawless in your execution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hockey_jersey

Nashville's deal is similar. PA announcer: " One minute left in the period." Entire arena: "THANKS, PAUL!" (or whatever his name is) They even flash it on the scoreboard to encourage participation. wait, so does that mean you're not going to post some topless pictures? i keeeed, i keeeeed...

Don't forget the ***.. errr. FAnG FINGERS! To whoever mentioned the ratio of red v. gold at the Nashville Arena (formerly known as the GEC). I've been attending Wings games there since I moved to Memphis in 1999. At first it was a sea of red and white - some nights it seemed damn near 90%. However, the ratio has steadily shrunk over the years. I was at the game on the 13th and it was probably 70/30 Pred fans (granted it was a Tuesday night). So, yes, Detroit does draw a ton of fans on the road, me included, but Nashville has come into their own a little bit with this rivalry. Yes people, it's not manufactured, it's become a rivalry. Don't let your blind hatred for Nashville cloud the fact that they put a good product on the ice.

He answered it better in the paragraph I cut out. I was trying to be brief. Damn you, brevity.

I just came here to add this when I saw someone had already done it. The follow quote gave me goosebumps.

indeed he did. I mean, NO, OF COURSE NOT! That would violate my SBox user agreement and I would never do that. I'm pretty sure they would only allow 1 computer to be logged into an account at a time.

check yer pm.

yeah, weird to be pro-Kipper as well. fsn feed from nashville here. why not pull up nhl.com/radio? or is cbs video live?

How weird it is to root for Vancouver.

my bad. sorry about that.

Rule #1: When making fun of a player, spell his freaking name right. Rule #2: If Rule #1 is violated, you look foolish no matter how good or bad the attempted joke was going to be. LILJA....

OK, the tickets are bought, the hotels are booked - we're set. Nashville game section 112 - not sure what row. I'll be wearing the Yzerman jersey before I retire it after this season. My friend, unfortunately, will be wearing his Preds jersey. You can pick your friends, but you can't pick the crappy teams they want to root for. If any Nash/Det fans are near there, you can't miss us - loud, probably drunk and my friend looks like Shrek - 6'4", 285#. Thinking about a sign - something like "THIS ISN'T DATELINE, BUT WE'RE HERE TO STOP A PREDATOR." cool? sucks? opinios? Detroit game - Section 103 - 3rd row. Not sure what he'll be wearing, but I'll be in a red Memphis Wings jersey 07 on the back.(http://pages.prodigy.net/oldchl/wings.htm) 1964 - 67 Detroit affiliate in the CHL. Feel free to stop by and say hi if you're near that section. I can not put into words how friggin excited I am. Where is the best place to go and drink after the game?

No prob, I'm just glad you thought it was funny enough to quote it.

At least credit it to the right person in your sig. It was my sign idea

No way. He's got a back injury and you'd keep checking for priapism.

update: the story gets better, Shrek is puking in the hotel toilet.. hehehe, Preds lose and Shrek loses his lunch. pictures available ;O

pre-season doesn't count in the standings.. therefore, it doesn't count period..

The back to back was great. Tonight's game was full of hits, goals and hockey. The section razzed my friend quite well. All in good fun. Went to Greektown afterwards for dinner and then back to the hotel. I can tell a mean story in person, but I can't write a story to save my life. Suffice it to say - what an effing trip!

Game 1 down and it did not disappoint. 500 miles in the Titan and here we are - 6 blocks from the Joe. Tonight should be interesting. My friend bought one of those ugly mustard 3rd jerseys just for tonight. Oy vey. Look for us in 103.

Random thought: I noticed tonight during the mini-interview with Hasek that he and Ilija from Sleeper Cell bear a resemblance. That is all.. go back to bashing Lang and feel free to ignore this thread.
