Wy return it, just keep it, if its flex fit i would assume you wouldn't be able to buy it in a smaller size, but maybe. Still though, i would keep it even if it didn't fit, i don't think i ever wore my '02 hat, but i wanted it anyway.

k, nvm, didn't look it up before i posted, just thought i heard it somewhere.

Lemieux missed a month of that season too, just putting that out there, probably the best offensive year of all time, if he had that month back he would've put up 225 points.

In the canucks last game he got a standing ovation from the crowd as he took a lap around the ice waving to them, so a lot of people have seen this coming.

When comparing Yzerman to Lidstrom, I have to go Lidstrom, His consistency does it for me here. Comparing Lidstrom to other D-men like Orr, i think is tough to tell. The game is almost impossibly different now than when Orr played. I think, just my opinion, the league on a whole is much better now than it was then. 3rd and 4th liners are better and goalies are better. If defensemen like Orr were to play today i believe they would have a much tougher time going end to end and jumping up in the play, and would pay much more dearly on the defensive end for it. Many people will take Orr because of his scoring and "The Goal", which was a nice play to win the cup, but wouldn't be nearly as remembered if he hadn't been tripped up afterword. But i will take Lidstrom, a consistent well positioned defenseman, who never seems to get caught off gaurd and can put the puck in the net too.

It's great Cheli still wants to play, hes been good for us since he's been here, but i must admit, i was a bit annoyed when i heard him say he still wants to play.

I still get amazed when i see that 38 wins got us 3rd in the west in 97, a 24 win drop from the previous year, and we went on to win the cup.

Dan Cleary, he would definately be my choice.

I liked the way it has been set up already, i think if there are going to be changes the only one i would personally choose is heavier points as we get deeper in the playoffs.

Ill be in my too tight Osgood jersey with stains all over the front, look for me

Wow, i like this guy, this makes sense, the Red Wings lost, not Osgood/Franzen/Hudler. High sticking is part of the game, it could've happened to them just as easily. Turnover happen all the time, but many times turn into nothing. The WINGS did not capitalize on chances and let Pit hang around too long. They are gunna get a chance to score eventually, and they took it.

You do realize that we are fans, not players, right? Talking about free agency is not going to distract the actual wings players.

I truly hope we work within our own organization this summer. I don't want Sundin. I don't want Fedorov. I don't want any of those guys. We need to see what these young guys can do up here. If it doesn't work out, we can figure something out at the deadline. But seriously, we should spend our money solely on guys we are trying to RE-sign.

I can't confirm an open box office, but i got mine online for a little under ten bucks each, so if it changes your mind, they were only two times the ticket price.

I'll be there, got 4 tickets

I'm guessing the tickets say row 113, considering they dont assign sections when it is general admission. I got row 113 seats 116-119(obviously no such seats). However, i am extremely pumped, and i hope a lot of people go, more fun that way. http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/080040BB...mp;minorcatid=1

I 100% agree with everything mentioned in this post, i would love a 10 minute OT, and if you lose, you lose, no we feel bad that you had to take a loss in a sudden death situation so we are giving you a point crap.

1030 on the gory version Make that 1090.7

They are playing the gore version, there are bombs set up along the way to propell the penguin, or whats left of it farther. The origional version is what you are talking bout, the highest ive ever seen anyone get on that is 324

Hmm... Datsyuk

Ok, i just don't get how anyone could leave an exceptional 1-on-1/Defensive/Playmaking/physical (leads team in hits) player with a great shot who is amoung the league leaders in points out of a top ten list. I get that it is your opinion, but i must say, a large number of people, and not only wings fans, will strongly disagree with you. Find me ten players in the world who can surpass him in all of these categories, then i will agree with you.

So then lets see your top ten.

Please explain why you have Datsyuk below Kovalchuk

The only chance i may have is to pick the Pens, but i don't want to win that bad. DET/PIT: 4-1

Maltby gets the game winner in overtime.
