Covenant 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2007 Check! I made sure to grab beer yesterday. Me too! Couldn't bring myself to sample during the Senators game, so there are 18 lurking in the fridge! .. and P.S., I'm much older than 25, and also no longer in college, the Redi-Whip reference was a joke!

Hell no Yeah I don't care... We will be down near the ice for warm ups... thats for sure. I am working until about 4pm and then I have to go home and we will attempt to be at the joe around 6pm. I am uber excited now. The last time we went to Game 1 of the first round was a sad loss to the Canuckle heads... However, we all know how THAT playoffs turned out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would I want to be around other huge Ozzie fans anyway? lksjdklgjsgs seriously though, this is going to be amazing. I am so excited for tonight! I've never been to a home opening playoff game! Ohh they were saying on the news that us Wings fans need to be in our seats at 6 because they are starting the excitement then. My sister gets out around 5:30 and I said OH HELL NO and then I talked to her people at work and so she's leaving early. haha Okay I am done being dumb. GO WINGS!!!

Vansmack-CP 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2007 Hey everyone, a visitor from CP here. I will be at the game tonight, hopefully I don't get hassled too much! I will be sitting in the wings attack end for the first in 3rd, much to the chagrin of myself and my friend coming with me. I have never been to the Joe before, so I am really looking forward to it. All i can say is that hopefully we don't pull a vancouver/dallas and play 7 periods tonight, i have to drive back to London! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I will sneak out a bit earlier today I thought it was weird too. Maybe it's something different and then after warm ups it's the fesitivies. I heard it was something 'special.' So that sounds exciting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monctongoldenflames 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2007 And we meet again....Flames vs Wings. This series should be a blast and most likely a long one. Even though I feel the Wings match up well for the Flames, it won't be an easy ride for either side. I just wanted to wish you good luck in the series, and may the best team come out on top. Go Flames Go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

esperti33 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2007 I am going to miss games 1-4, I am leaving for vacation tonight before the game, I will be in glorious Hawaii but thinking of the Wings always. I have not decided if I am going to check the scores while I am gone or just watch the Tivo'd games when I get back. I don't know if I have the will power of not checking scores.

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted April 12, 2007 That blows harcore. I remember those days. I was in class when Stevie Y scored his 500th goal vs. Roy. Me an another guy were listening to it on the radio with headphones in the back of the class. We high-fived each other. It was actually pretty funny. I remember the Cup win in '97, I was friggin' working...but there was humor involved. I was a wedding videographer back in Michigan and we were at a wedding reception. Half the tables at the reception hall had people who had brought in portable TVs or radios, trying to get good broadcast signals. Needless to say, uh, we weren't concentrating on shooting footage as much as we should have been. Some guests were even wearing Wings jerseys (with shirt and tie underneath). Even the DJ was giving score updates as the night progressed, up until the point where we won and he was announcing over the speakers, "THE RED WINGS ARE THE 1997 STANLEY CUP CHAMPS!!! CONGRATS TO THE RED WINGS!!!". We were all high-fiving each other and everything. The bride and groom weren't amused. Thankfully in '98, I got to head down to Royal Oak right after we won Game 4 and reveled in the debauchery going on there and then got to experience the parade in Hart Plaza with a bunch of my classmates from Specs Howard (we were "shooting a project", allegedly). And then in 2002...uh...I was in Jersey and I was like, "Woo hoo!"...and no one was around to high-five. (But at least I was in Michigan for a couple JoeVision games that round... ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OsGOD 3 Report post Posted April 12, 2007 I don't think it is sold out yet... We ended up almost getting our exact season ticket seats (which we turned down for the playoffs) for tonights game about an hour ago or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
