Dabura 12,198 Report post Posted June 15, 2014 Maybe I'm going too far here (I'M OUT OF CONTROL, MAN), but I thought it might be nice to have a thread of random hockey-related news item stuff. The idea being, like, I come across this a few minutes ago... https://twitter.com/BarDown/status/477884296900800512/photo/1 ...and I kinda wanted to make a thread about it, in which I'd say, "Yeah, slow news day." But it'd be a stupid thread that'd get, like, one reply. I dunno. Can we give it a try? We're bound to have some really slow news days this summer, even with the draft and free agency and prospect stuff and whatnot. Cool? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,908 Report post Posted June 15, 2014 ..aren't most days "slow news days" when it come to a Ken Holland Summer? Just kidding! I like the idea, get some general NHL news talk going on to pass the time and bring us to two of the three best days in a NHL season... Draft Day, UFA Day and of course Trade Deadline Day... 1 SaCkaveli20 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope I don't have to start liking the Lemieux's. It was probably just to hell him not to piss off the wings or he would get his ass beat just like his daddy and the whole team did. 2 Hockeymom1960 and wings4thecup06 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently it was a serious interview, and Brendan said the Wings were very professional about everything and wouldn't mind playing for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BottleOfSmoke 5,965 Report post Posted June 15, 2014 Only a handful of posts and this is already my favorite active thread.

Dabura 12,198 Report post Posted June 16, 2014 That's a stand-up bass. I know this because I play the cello. Yup. (I was making a Weezer reference, ftr.) I've actually been needing a celloist for a few of my own recordings. I'll keep you in mind and nothing will ever come of it because I have a bad back and I'm lazy. In other news... NHL's West is best again in Stanley Cup Finals [Larry Lage, Associated Press] "Both of those teams have built programs with a lot of depth after being terrible for a long time," Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said in a phone interview. "They made good picks and made the right moves." Mike Babcock, folks. He'll be here all week, hopefully longer. 1 Son of a Wing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Din758 371 Report post Posted June 17, 2014 Hilarious Babcock would call them terrible like that. I don't see that coming from him. I look at Chicago and Pittsburgh more at being terrible then getting some high picks. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't even care if they sucked*, just seeing those names on the back of a Wings jersey again would make me cry, laugh, get a LadyBoner and find religion. *I would totally care if they sucked. 2 Wingsfan72 and number9 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BottleOfSmoke 5,965 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 @JasonGregor: MacT admits they went after Dekeyser last summer. Met him for dinner and had great meeting, but his licence plate had Red Wings on it. @JasonGregor: "That was not a good sign for us," laughed MacTavish about DeKeyser's licence plate. #Oilers 5 hooon, derblaueClaus, Wingsfan72 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
