Red Wings-fan since 1993/94-season. Born and raised in Norway. (Who would have guessed..right?)
Fell in love with the Red Wings-hockey when I saw what a great (the greatest) player Steve Yzerman was. #19 - no other Captain like him - ever! Best Captain to ever play the game!
Been to a few Wings-games through my life (born 1982). Mostly I have to follow them through TV and Internet though.. bit of a travel from Norway
When I first saw the 25-game suspension, I thought it might be a bit heavy-handed, but after watching the explanation video that showed how many times Torres has done this exact same thing over his career, I think it was definitely warranted.
Two old ladies are standing at a bus stop when it starts to rain.
"Oh dear" says one lady, "now our cigarettes will get wet."
"No they won't." replies the other, and she pulls two condoms and a manicure scissors out of her purse. "You see, we cut off the ends, unroll them on our cigarettes, and roll them back up as we smoke. The cigarettes stay nice and dry."
"How nice," says the first lady. "What are these things called?"
"They're called condoms." the second lady tells her. "You can get them at any drug store."
A couple of days later the first lady is standing at a bus stop when it starts to rain. As luck would have it, there was a drug store right across the street. The lady walks in and asks the pharmacist if he has any condoms.
The pharmacist wonders what an 80-year-old lady needs with condoms, but being a professional, he asks, "Why yes we do, ma'am. Is there any particular kind you need?"
"I don't think it matters," she answers, "just so long as they'll fit on a Camel."
drumnj any chance you can post (share) that animated wallpaper?? you would make a lot of Wings fans happy and a Nashville fan at my work would be quite irritated by seeing it all day
