WingNut 25 5 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) Well, when the Wings played the Stars in game 6, I decided to stay at work until 5 and listen to period 1 (or most of it) while driving home from work instead of leaving early to watch the entire game. That obviously worked well so I decided to do that same thing tonight and so far so good! Edited June 5, 2008 by WingNut 25 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cheffy 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Don't worry the Wing's have it in the bag. My astrologer just said that if I see the words "Douchenozzle" and "cock-meat-sandwich" today all my dreams will come true. Thanks posters on LGW for making my dreams come true tonight.

aflac9262 211 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Bob Cole might be old, but he calls a great game. The way he says "Scores!" is pretty great too. I know, he's great. His "Scores!" call is so unique. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) Detroit comprehensively shut them down that period. A few questions/comments: 1. Why are we the ones always getting thrown out of the face-off circle? 2. Fleuery is annoying how he always freezes the puck. 3. Kronwall had a shocking period. 1.) The other team is Pittsburgh 2.) He's a very annoying person 3.) Agreed, I guess Kronwall couldnt keep it up all playoffs. Edited June 5, 2008 by Detroit # 1 Fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 I know, he's great. His "Scores!" call is so unique. It's legendary in Eastern Canada, gonna be a sad day when Bob retires. Jim Hughson is pretty good and all, but having Greg Millen of all people as his replacement isnt something to look forward too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stan Leycup X 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Sigh... so when a goalie with three times the size of a forward blocks the lane, the forward is expected to stop and go the other way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redwingsfan18 1 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Bruce Martin is my all time favorite. I might be too young to know/remember who that is... I remember Dave Straider's calls on PASS and obviously on Versus now and then. He has a good call but Ken Daniels has him beat by far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FinRedWing 172 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Really, no man-love for Flip and Ruutu? Too bad Antero Mertaranta doesn't do NHL games. I'd watch that over anything except Ken & Mickey. Well there's always some man-love in the air. Going for a another 100+ GDT posts? btw. anyone knows filppulas faceoff %? i think he's lost every faceoff i've watched him take last 2 games 33% today and 42.9% on Monday.

cirov19 1 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 you've cleared nothing up, sorry. as you know, the nhl isn't doing so hot, not since the black and silver gretzky jerseys were selling like hotcakes. well, there is a new hotcake for sale, and a lot of people want to see it selling. the red wings represent consistency, which does the league no good. a graph with a straight bar near the top of the graph promises nothing but the same. the penguins represent that curving graph that shows unlimited potential. crosby is the driving force behind the penguins success so there is no surprises that his name is mentioned every 3rd word. of course the people who work for the nhl want the game to become more popular. they'd lose their jobs with the alternative. lol.. I wasn't trying to clear up the problems of the NHL. I said 1) the refs aren't against us, and 2) NBC isn't against us. Then I pretty much said, "Don't whine so we can never be compared to Pens fans." Thanks though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
