Great beer, hockey as a national pass-time, women allowed to walk around topless... Canada's nothing but a win in my book!

Beer too expensive plus more alcohol which means a tougher time coming home, actually Lacrosse is listed ahead of Hockey as their National Pastime, and outside of the Ballet, I have never seen a woman walk around topless. (I know it's legal, but noone does it.) But hey, Canada is still the second greatest country in earth!

just messing with you!

I hope Datsyuk is ok to play soon!

Remember when they actually used to say what the injury was? "Lower body injury" and other vague descriptions were only really used in the playoffs.

Nowadays it's practically like "Datsyuk injury? Who's Datsyuk? I don't know anyone by that name, and if I did I would have no information on his injury."

They actually made Hockey apart of there national sport a couple years ago, and there is a ton of beaches in Toronto where woman walk around naked, just gotta find them.

I don't get why people need to know. With some of the idiots in the league, the team releases "datsyuk out with sore ankle", they hear "hit datsyuk in the ankle when he comes back". This close to playoffs, you don't want anyone knowing any possible weak spots.

[Barrie]

Me too! We're headin' out to Deetroit to see both the Penguins and Canucks get their beehinds handed to them on a tarnished platter. Not asking too much, I don't think...?

Good stuff, have fun!

I'm 3 hours from Dee, so I'm driving there and back in the same day. Gonna call my friend tomorrow to set up details, but I'd like to leave about 2:00pm and get back at 2:00am. It'll be a long day of work on Tuesday, but so worth it!

Cros-by SUCKS! Cros-by SUCKS! Cros-by SUCKS!

I have decided not to wear my Crosby Sucks t-shirt on Monday. As much as I find Cindy annoying, and wanted to wear it at The Joe, I'm rooting for that dude to make it back... Edit: Then I'll wear my Crosby Sucks t-shirt

I shall be sheets to the wind, but won't be coming from me. I'll chant Matt Cooke sucks first. Sure it won't catch on either

I was thinking a Bettman Sucks chant may be a great replacement. I bought those tickets to say someone sucks!

Bettman would decide to fine our team and not let us into the playoffs if that happened lol.

Actually they did have the FSN-Detroit feed. It wasn't listed on the online guide but it was on Channel 771, which the channel guide also showed.

I think the Center Ice stuff is regional and also depends on your cable provider. My games are on channels 629-642, not in the 700s at all. There were a lot of games that night, and they had to cut somebody's feed out, it's usually Detroit. At least down here.

Marc Methot - he's always played with an edge, pretty decent defender actually, but he seemed to have an extra chip on his shoulder last night

Wow. I must really be going blind then. I'm not being sarcastic either, my vision is getting worse and I could've sworn on more than one occasion I saw a P for his name. I had never heard of, or noticed, him before so I'll take your word for it. Just thought he was being extra douchey last night.

[kylee]

I want Methot. He can replace Salei. Is it possible? I have no idea but the Wings could use a defenseman with an actual edge. Not a guy who once kinda had an edge to his game (Salei) or a big oaf of a defenseman?( Ericsson)

[Vladifan]

Yeah, well, it's gonna happen.

Not from me, it ain't. I'm from the South Side of Chicago and those idiot fans embarrass me with their stoopid bleating.

I am totally with you on this. I've already thought about it - that I've got a big mouth and that s***head Cooke needs to hear from me.

[Mabuhay Red Wings]

ill be there with 5 of my buddys. well do our part.

Thanks Din! Oh and Barrie suggested a Bettman Sucks chant. That one isn't bad either. I personally prefer the Matt Cooke chant but you guys are the ones that gots the tix. I trust you guys. I'll be watching it for it for sure!

"Canadian Porn... Trust me when I tell you their universal health care system doesn't cover breast implants. If I have to sit through one more flat-chested Nova Scotian riding a Mountie on the back of a Zamboni, I'll go OOT of my mind."

When someone says Center Ice channel in the 770+ range, I assume they've got Directv which, despite its many other flaws (I want my BBC Amrica in HD, darn it!), tends to be extremely comprehensive in its HD hockey offerings.

If Dats has to sit out this game to avoid further injury, no problems here.

Fully agree with you!!!

[haroldsnepsts]

So as a fan, you might have some idea as to what is wrong with one of the star players and when he might be back in the lineup?

As I said in my original post, I get that they do it in the playoffs, and it's a litte more excusable in the stretch run. But it hasn't always been like this. Now every injury is super secret, like no matter what part of the season guys are going to go after a weak spot.

And let's be honest, at this level if an injury is hampering a player in the slightest, there's a really good chance the other players will notice and have a pretty good guess what it is.

If anything he can sit tonight's game out then come back Monday then sit some more out to appease me because I am attending and well, Pav is worth price of admission everytime.

Selfishness aside, we know Hank will step it up and probably pot a trick or something if Pavs can't go. I shall get in my playoff mindset and say, come back when fully ready #13.

[wings_fanatic]

Personally I want to see Pavs and Rafi sit out tonights game. There is no need to risk their well- being for a game against Nashville. Quite frankly, I don't want to risk them getting hit with one of Weber's shots either... I mean it looks like Pavs hurt his ankle or knee, and Rafi hurt his knee, so all we would need is for them to play tonight and get hit in that area by one of those shots. IMO even if they can both go tonight, Babs should let them rest until Monday at home.

I'll be in section 217A, I'll see what I can do...

Edit: Maybe I should make a t-shirt that's says, "Crosby's hurt so Bettman Sucks?" My friend and I have aisle seats too!

I would help out with a "Matt Cooke sucks" chant. Maybe 2nd period we can do that, and switch to Bettman for the 3rd? If that's the case, I'll fit Cooke on there with Bettman. I'll go to Wal-Mart this weekend and grab a cheap white t-shirt that I can write on.

I'm planning on being there for warmups.

Well, f**k!! Looks like the boys will be out for Monday's game as well: MLive. I would rather they all get healthy, but damn, why does Pav have to be out for the game I'm going to, especially because I'm in 123?

Get well, boys! I'll be back on 4/8 to see you take on the s***hawks.

I know how you feel. I got glass seats for a game at the Joe(I live in California) in january against the hawks. I think it was the day I bought the tickets that Pavs broke his hand, then Cleary and Holmer went down after. Flip ended up having the flu that game. I swear, I felt like I was watching the griffins.
