    When was your first Wings game at the Joe?

    First game was in December of 84, can't remember all the details, I was only 4 Last game at JLA 1/2/07 don't have to say much about that one

    we need Colorado to win the cup

    The 7 words in the title of this thread should never be mentioned again.
  3. By default we should move east, since the Preds and Jackets do poorly in battle against us.

    Balsillie wants a Cup run IN NASHVILLE!

    Deep pockets allow you to have a 600 goal scorer on your 4th line circa 2002.

    Nicklas Lidstrom

    Yes, I strongly agree that the greatest D man ever to play the game and the Wings best player the last decade deserves to wear the C.

    You know you're a Detroit Red Wings fan if...

    I yell that at every Wings/Preds game if 1/2/07 will go down as one of the greatest and saddest days of your life, I call my grandma once a week to thank her for that ticket.

    Kirk Maltby

    You can't put a price tag on what guys like Malts bring to this team. At some point stats become meaningless, we all know he used up all his goals in juniors. If not for Malts aggressive forecheck Cleary wouldn't have nailed that shorty against the Flames. The guy gets others pissed off and off their game. We have blessed the last 10 plus years with having some pretty damn good players don the Winged Wheel, Malts being one of them. He is as friendly as they come off the ice and as professional as can be on it. You'd have to be crazy no to like a guy that is willing to go down and block 100 mph slappers several times in a row, case in point watch Red Alert 3. Malts loses his stick and blocks three shots in a row. What does he get for that? 20,066 chanting Maltby! Maltby! Maltby! Players are defined as to what they do on the ice, Sid the Kid is a pure scorer, Stevie was a natural born leader, Lids has the best stick in the game, Malts and Drapes are one of the best PK tandems in the NHL. Yeah other people may be able to do it with a s*** load of practice, but I'd rather have the guys that everyone knows already can.

    Nashville Staying put!

    Dear Mr Bettman, I am a resident of the state of Tennessee and am a huge Red Wings fan. I will never in my life root for the Preds, however I would attend more than 4 games a year at the GEC, Nashville Arena, Sommet Center, BlackBerry's on Ice, or whatever the hell they are calling the place this week if there was more diversity in the schedule. I would love to see Sid the Kid or AO and many more up and coming stars in the NHL but instead you give me 12 games of the Blues, Bluejackets, and Blackhawks to pick from. If you want Nashville to increase ticket sales, schedule them to play the Wings 82 times a year, otherwise you attempt to broaden the hockey spectrum has failed. Regards, A former GM kid forever tied to his Motor City roots. Dear northern transplant, Hockey is on the up and up, we're on Versus now. The purpose of the heavier divisional schedule is to create more rivalries, regardless if one team continues to beat the s*** out of the other team for years at a time. We here at the NHL think the best thing to do is drive the NHL into the ground before it can be successful. Don't forget to watch the Stanley Cup finals on Versus, its the Duck vs the Sens, you know, that Disney team. G. Bettman p.s. I came from the NBA

    Is the jury still out on Babcock?

    Mister foreman has the jury reached its verdict? We have your honor. What say you? We the jury find no reason why Babs won't be back next season. Futhermore we would like to point out had the D not been killed by injuries this case wouldn't have made it to trial. Thank you for your service, you are excused.

    Round of Applause - LGW.com Crew

    I've been a Wings fan for 25 years but I've lived in Tennessee since 91 and I never knew this place existed until my uncle turned me on to this site when I was in D town for Stevie's retirement. I want to thank all the LGW'ers, Matt and the rest of the crew that keeps this placing running. This is the best run board I've visited and look forward to discussing the offseason and the 07-08 run to the cup with you guys.
