    Questions about 2008 tix

    If you have the extra $17/seat, I'd put that down for SRO instead. It's the best cheap seat in the house. I do wonder how popular the $9 seats have been though.

    Jerseys - Around the League

    This is a no-homers thread that wants to see what you guys got in your closets, on your wall, or even on your back right now! What jerseys do you guys have? And with the Christmas season rolling around HERE, what ones do you want? Please do include non-Detroit teams/names. Wing lists are more than fine, for sure, but let's keep this thread varied up too. I'll start... and I'm a very poor choice to begin this thread, because I got nothing. I have an old style drawstring white Wing sweater (It is not at all like a modern jersey) and then the '97 Starter black jersey. If I told everybody what to get me for Christmas though, I would say: Bruins - Bourque (black) '90s Canucks - Bure (black) Detroit - Hank (home) Detroit - Osgood (red away, '98 SCF patched) Stars - Modano Flames - Fleury Detroit - Kocur/Ciccarelli (either or, white home) Toronto - Gilmour Rags - Richter (blue or the dark Team USA) Yzerman - red Team Canada Blackhawks - Kane And last but not least... Preds - Forsberg (Babypuke yellow) So what do you guys have/want?

    I think it's a select server down with Photobucket (some others still work). It's temp inactive but it'll be working later.

    This is the slickest border-hopping plan ever. Read it, if you like stories about blushing brides. You know you do!

    Happy Birthday Ozzie!

    Reem... tell me that you have pictures. Or beat up a children's hospital patient to get his. That's funny though. And I can imagine Homer responding just like that too, thanks for posting the story! It's just cool to read.

    If it can be added as "dead money", I'm all for puppies.

    I don't even know how they could resign him. There's no way. Unless they dumped Kronwall, Samuelsson, Chelios, Lilja.. hell anybody who's not a star and making +$1M. And that'd be tight as it is.

    Jimmy Howard

    When were the last good goaltender prosps Detroit had that we wasted away in the minors? I ask truthfully because I hardly recall any homegrown goalies that showed promise beyond Osgood and Legace. I could be wrong though.

    I think $3 is a little on the high side. Draper's cap hit this year is like 2.1 and next year he'll be 1.8 or something. I'd say somewhere around a high 1 max. And I'm not sure what it'd take to get Hossa, but considering he'd be a rental... he's probably a lot more attainable than some would think. It just depends what kind of deal the Thrashers want in return, picks/players or a combination of both.

    What Would You Do?

    Titleing Boogard a peacemaker is funny, but it's funny because it's true. It's the perfect word for the intimidation factor he brings. I like it. I'm not sure about trading Franzen for him though. What did Atlanta toss away at the deadline last year? I know their GM got some not so stellar reviews for the end result of the Tkachuk trade and whatever else they dealt for a quick playoff punch.

    I don't understand the Cleary pick either. Did you just happen to pick him or is he a purposeful selection? I think he's one of the more consistent players out there. I'd sooner let Samuelsson go (his contract is up after next season and Cleary will probably get a similar figure, $1.2). And I agree with GST on Bryz. The guy has a chance and also, you don't go to Detroit if you want to solidify your rep. He has a good thing with Phoenix.

    This was alluded to once upon a time. She's still not living bad though. The stalking wonders of Google, you can find anyone's former cardboard castle residence!

    What Would You Do?

    Lou would become a literal fountain he'd be pissing himself so hard. It'd be great! Now with 1/4 of the season finished I'm definitely curious about deadline talks for later. I don't know what we can actually get out there though.

    Happy Birthday Ozzie!

    Are you kidding? Twelve tops, fifteen with wrinkles. No but seriously, he's got that lucky youthfulness. I want that when I'm hitting my thirties.

    It is freezing outside. It is FREEZING inside. Librarians have taken to winter coats. I should have brought some gym stuff.

    Stevie Should Play One More Game

    Right. I think she's just expressing her love for Stevie though - he's only a year retired and we know it'd be silly to come back for a game like that, ultimately. Or ever. On that note though, hypothetically I think the captain would feel much less injury prone if he were centering a line of Downey and Pain Train. Even the guys at hockeyfights would uh... concede this bruising point.

    Dom Bashers Welcome!

    Say what you will about Eddie Belfour, the guy knows how to party! This matters more than you think.

    Downey Love

    I am tempted to make that a Downey sign for the Calgary game Tues. And I'm not sure about the team's girlfriends saying their guys smell better because of Downey... but I'm sure they do feel better without the bruises from unchecked crosschecks.

    11/24 GDT: Blue Jackets 3, Red Wings 2 (SO)

    I TOTALLY understand! If we had you planted in Columbus imagine the mayhem! Let us know about next game Lou, their fans will never expect that. (I seriously couldn't type that out with a straight face man, whooooo...)

    11/24 GDT: Blue Jackets 3, Red Wings 2 (SO)

    I still find the timing utterly sick. He needs them but damn, was that a good five seconds to be the Red Wings.

    11/24 GDT: Blue Jackets 3, Red Wings 2 (SO)

    I'd give him the edge in that one. Downey was too wrapped up to do anything. Funny thing about the Whalers though, my sister was mentioning going to a Wheelers game a couple different times over two days and both times I'm baffled.... Wheelers? What sport is that? Then the third time she said something and I'm like OH! You mean the PLYMOUTH WHALERS wth geez

    I don't have any of them, that's my dream list though. And THAT ^ is why the Bure '90s Vancouver jersey is worthy. I am envious OsGod!
