Thrashers over Oilers 4-1

Enough money is in proportion to your bills.  I used to make $2.95 an hour.  My rent back then was $85 a month.  

Ellis has to buy a new house and probably a new mask.  These things don't come cheaply.  He also has to invest for his and his family's future.  Not everyone can play until they are over 40.  If you had to make do with what you had made by the time you were 40, you'd need some cash up front.

It's all relative.  I used to live on one job.  Not any more.  Maybe some day, but not now if I want to have my ducks in a row when I retire or die.

I suppose he could open a used car dealership or something, but that seems like a lot of work.

I get where he's coming from.  There's an old adage that if you ask someone how much money they need, the answer is always "more".

As long as he plays every game in grand rapids i approve this, do NOT wanna see him in detroit though, if there are injuries there are several other players who should get the nod in favour of maltby.

Ya don't say.  We never would have guessed you felt that way.

I would like him as a call up in certain situations- and certainly in the playoffs.

Bring him up as a black ace and let him skate once more with the Cup, even if he doesn't get his name on it again.  Then let him and Drapes ride off into the sunset together, with the love and good wishes of many a Red Wings fan.

If this comes true, I'm a happy camper.

Maybe he was playing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".

you're a girl????  This whole time I thought you were just a chemistry/physics/Red Wings loving male.  My world just got flipped-turned upside down, and I'd like to take a minute just sit right there, I'll tell you how I became the price of a town called Bel Air.

This thread is chock full of shocking things.  Who knew a town called Bel Air was so cheap?

(And then I left the h out of chock.  That would be another shocking thing.)

It's sad, but the one thing that stood out from that article for me was that he's over 6 feet tall and over 200 pounds, but he's not physical.

Yep, should fit in well with us.

Such a spectacular thread. I have teared up like 191491 times. Yeah, you are still a man if its because of the Wings.

RIGHT?  

Of course.

This made me cry like a baby:

My mother was in the kitchen getting food for a houseful of relatives the night of my dad's funeral, and she still dropped everything to run into the living room when I told her that Hossa was fighting.  She had to explain to all of the knitting ladies in the living room that she doesn't like it when they fight, and she was just making sure Hossa was ok - and then went on to tell them all about him.

I'm trying to get her to understand the importance of fighting, but as you can see, she loves the Wings.  She also thinks Mickey Redmond "looks like a very nice man".  Uh-huh.


My last hamster was a big Danny Cleary fan.  I haven't gotten the current one excited about hockey yet.

Hes a multitasker what can you say? He can do a lot of things well at once  

I suppose, but imagine the confusion when a player gets called for high sticking twice in one play.

And also dealing with an off-ice transvestite hooker scandal.

Good heavens!  I should hope that would be an off-ice scandal.

The odds of him getting on the team are pretty slim.  Talking about something hockey-related in the offseason that hasn't been hashed and rehashed is what is keeping this thread going.

That said, if he comes along and puts all of his competition to shame, I'll be the last to complain.  I can dig it when anyone comes along and shines surprisingly bright for Detroit.

If he does make it, I hope we can trade for Selanne so we can find out what the Finnish translation is for "two kids and a goat".

from twitter:

"The Stanley Cup is currently filled with Buffalo wings. Was told Cup handlers had to call to double-check before giving okay on that one"

So the cup is filled with wings.

Perhaps a good omen?

If the wings win the cup next year i will personally mail patrick kane a case of beer.

OK, but be sure that it's really cheap beer and put it old plastic bottles so he doesn't get the 20 cents for returning the cans.

Daisy always struck me as a *****.  She strings poor Donald (who has always struck me as an arrogant a$$hole) along until he blows up.  Usually I think he needs to take a Valium, but where she's concerned, I think he needs to slap the *****.
Minnie is just a ditz.  She wins due to lack of annoyingness.

Candles or air fresheners?

Is that a new iphone app?

No.  It's just something to freak out Gaborik if he's reading on this site.
