    "I forgot he was a Red Wing!"

    Ok here's one that I just recently read about and had no clue he was a Wing at one time. Dave "Killer" Hanson... Yep, That Dave Hanson of Slap Shot fame, (he was Jack Hanson #16) was a Red Wing and played in 11 games for Detroit amassing 0 goals, 0 assists, for 0 points and 26 Penalty minutes for the 1978-1979 season. Dave "Killer" Carlson (Carlson was the real last name of the 3 brothers that the characters were based off of) was based off of Dave "Killer" Hanson. Anyhow, I highly recommend his book Slap Shot Original which you can have personalized if you buy it from his website. The book is an autobiography and It kept me entertained while reading it and I don't know how many times I said, "Hey, that was in the movie!" Here's a tv news spot featuring Dave. - EDIT: Oops! Saw that someone already posted Dave.. Oh well.. Use this as a plug for Dave and his Book.

    They all love ... Detroit?

    I like the gif.. I was just joking around. Ya know, if something isn't working, you try something opposite.

    I'm sorry, I see that going forward for the Winged Wheel as the "Wheel" is the front, the "Winged part" being the back.. Therefore it is going backward. So the way I view the avatar is that it is rolling backward. Perhaps it is just how each of us perceive the proper forward direction for the emblem. It was just a suggestion.. Arf Arf

    Cameras at JLA

    We were able to take our 15x zoom 10MP camera into the Joe with no problem. This also takes HD 720P video which comes out surprisingly good. I did take precautions to use friction tape to cover the text displaying what zoom the camera was capable of. I didn't want to chance not getting to take pictures and having to check my camera in at the customer relations desk. The last time we checked our camera in (it was a 35mm with a 800mm zoom lens) the dolts at the customer relations desk took a photo (wasting the film) of nothing. Here is the policy as it is written at the Olympia Entertainment website Of course you see flashes all over the place.. not that it helps.

    Zetterberg Extension: 12 years, $73 million

    Zetterberg is worth more than 7 million a year.. spread out he's making less. We won't have all the players we have forever. Lidstrom, Stuart, Rafalski will not be 10 years from now. Holland will see that things work out.. Hank should be top 3 paid, he is worth it, and like others have said if he is put on LTIR or retires early it isn't counted against the cap. It's a good day for the Wings and their fans!

    Ideas for Protest sign in Columbus

    You are welcome. I wasn't able to watch the whole game so there may be a better shot of you guys. Perhaps someone who saved the game could look through it.

    That was NOT Ozzie's fault.

    Ideas for Protest sign in Columbus

    Best I could do with slingbox. This was just after the Hossa goal in the first.

    Now now, maybe it's a stomach illness or something.

    Here's a screen cap, I am watching at work so quality off of Slingbox isn't great.

    Staal vs. Semin fight

    Wow, are you aware that we are not even HALFWAY through the season? 7 +7 is 14.. and as the playoffs get closer I am sure you will see more fighting to protect our guys. It's a bit too soon to be on the S.S. Panic already.

    Staal vs. Semin fight

    I have to disagree.. I think he was just sick of getting mugged and just wigged out. I think he should have just turtled, it would have looked better. I would die laughing if someone on Philly attacks Semin like that next game. Heard some good ones watching NHL on the Fly this morning: "That is not an actual NHL fighter... I'm gonna slap you silly kid." - Color guy for Wash. "Obviously technique is a bit of a problem for him." - Larry Murphy Then Brian Duff mentions a match up between Crosby and Semin. Duff says: "I think Crosby would crush him." to which good 'ol Larry Murphy replies... "I don't know." lmao

    Fed's sets Russian Born goal mark

    I agree, pretty damn classy. Congrats Feds! I don't get the whole booing thing when Feds takes the ice here. I understand fans are disappointed, but come on, he was a huge part of our Stanley Cup runs!

    Wings RBK Jersey from China

    Wow, how about you grow up a bit. She was trying to tell people what to expect if they do order from this company. Swearing at someone for their opinion is pretty lame. You are the one being the excrement.

    Very cool panoramic shot from the Joe on opening night

    You can save a print screen for sure, dunno about getting the flash. just press print screen and paste into a graphics program (ie ms paint) and save. Do it full screen.

    Very cool panoramic shot from the Joe on opening night

    Lol, we were in about the same section as you folks, 202B Saw the beer ruckus, watched a leaf fan fall on his ass on the stairs right next to us, and had a couple of weiner leafs fans in front of us that I had to remind that its been 3 years since they have even been to the playoffs while we just raised the Stanley Cup Champs banner.. again... Wings looked sloppy, oh well, one game that was preceded by trophies and banners. Now we can get back to winning.

    10/5 GDT: Red Wings 3, Sabres 0

    They don't check for a receipt or anything, You won't have a problem. You can grab the Cheli's Chili shuttle or the Hockeytown shuttle, they will drop you off at either.. at least that has been my experience.. so I'd grab the first one you run into after the game.

    Joe Louis Arena 61st most influential

    Hey, don't squash my dreams man! They are the only ones I have! *grumble grumble* Yeah, I am aware of the fact that with great championships comes great price increases. Still, I can hope that there would still be more cheaper seats. We should all pool our money together and get a suite. lol
