Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted December 18, 2011 Just got back from the game. That was a great game!! A lot of fun but LA sure was beating us up there in the 1st and 2nd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doc Holliday 1,888 Report post Posted December 18, 2011 They've been doing this for a long time from what I understand. I believe that they are NOT game used sticks, they're cheap sticks they keep in the tunnel for the giveaway....each stick IS signed by one of the three stars and given away near the tunnel...not sure if they know whom is getting the stick beforehand or not......still a really cool thing to do though, especially if they're going to kids. Honestly, I don't find it cool. They have hundreds of sticks available to them for use during the game. Just give them one of those, instead of some cheap piece of crap that is only interesting because they put their signature on it. 1 P.

It's a good thing that they do regardless of if they are game used or cheap one. It might be some kid's idol that gives them a stick and they'll always have that memory.

It might be some kid's idol that gives them a stick and they'll always have that memory. Still, it gets cheapened for me when they do it after every game, with a stick that I think has some sort of advertisement on it. It's like those bobble-heads they give away with the Amway or Ram logo on it. What a crock. 1 P. Marlowe reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted December 18, 2011 Worst 3 stars ever for a game? (In terms of talent and likelyhood of ever being a star for a game) Miller, Emmerton, Cleary. I love our bottom 6! Miller and Emmerton had as many goals this game as the LAK have had their past 3 games. 2 P. Marlowe and Jenny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingsfan4795 552 Report post Posted December 18, 2011 I don't think anyone else mentioned this but this is the first time all year the wings lost only 1 in a row! They still haven't had a winning streak below 3 so strap in for a good week:) 2 LasVegasRocks and Z and D for the C reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) fine. whatever.... the Detroit Free Press and I stand corrected: "Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall checks the Kings' Dustin Penner into Wings goalie Jimmy Howard during the Wings' 8-2 win Saturday at Joe Louis Arena." link to apparently incorrectly captioned photo, #6 Edited December 18, 2011 by puckloo39 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted December 18, 2011 It definitely looks like Stoll. Penner's too lazy to drive the net like that. 6 Konnan511, GoWings1905, VM1138 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
