seen this before too, very interesting read!

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I think a Healthy Krejci, Savard back and some dead weight moved out really helped out last night.

I just Hope they can keep it up for a few games and this wasn't a one hit wonder for the rest of the month.
It was nice to see them beat the bag out of a team that is playing well.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I rooted for the Wings every year in the playoffs when the Hawks missed them...growing up in Detroit left me with some love for the Wings, Pistons and Tigers.

Hawks have a similar following around opposing rinks the last couple years.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

No love for the Leos Tom?

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Yeah, the Lions have a little spot in my heart too, but I try to not admit it in public, Mike. :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I don't blame you. It's hard to be a Lions fan. You have to have paper bags to wear for all the home games, fire Millen T-shirts, Fire Millen parades, etc... The "Lion's SuperBowl" questions start on Detroit Sports Talk radio usually by week 4 or 5.




The "Lion's SuperBowl" in other cities is also known as the NFL Draft.

Nice game for Luongo:lv

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I still hate him. :2

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

And I wish we never let hm go Fing DiPi really is a never was.

Isles are an AHL team masquerading as an NHL.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Me too.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

LUONGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I am not certain he would have the same stats if he played for the Isles....just sayin'.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I caught the second and third period of the Blackhawks game last night. I am pretty sure they lost because Turco was wearing those stupid red goalie pads. They just don't look right IMO.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Argggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ashgdbbbdejahsvhssbdhrs wabdhzbswsjaNsnnzn
Friggin Sharks!

Captain Morgan is gone Tom. Still think the Hawks should have kept him and let us get your Dman.
If you face the Canucks this year it will be tougher without him, and I hate to say I don't think it will happen.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I am far from convinced the Hawks will even make the playoffs at this point, Mike. :hn

I would much rather have Hjalmarsson than Niemi though.... I think both Crawford and Turco are better goalies. I am more concerned about facing the Canucks without Byfuglien. :2

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Hey I am with you brother. I don't know I will need playoff sests this year. 1/4 the way in its ugly. As for the goalies I am not a turco fan. I was refering to Buff though and without him I think the Hawks will have issues. I was saying keep Buf and let Hjalmarson go

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

You might be right. :)

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

How bout them Pens :)

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

:rolleyes:

How bout them Blue Jackets, they show potential and then...plop...:sl :td

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Stupid Turco pads, they need to be white, red is just stupid. Crawford will be the distinct number 1 by trade deadline for chicago, and I think thats fine. He should have been at least battling last year with Niemi, and could have beat him out IMO as well.
Jackets are one of the most confusing teams on the earth.
Pens suck
It is easy to say now that Buff was the right guy to keep, but they were looking to shed salary. However, he can play both forward and defense so thats money worth right there.
How bout that timmy thomas save on the laughs? wowzers

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Maybe so, Mike....but Niemi got us the Stanley Cup, so us Hawks fans are just fine with how it worked out. ;) :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Wings vs Sharks tonight on Versus. I hate their coverage. Yahoo sports shows it on VS & TSN2, maybe if I'm lucky CBC will have it.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I know the feeling, I would much rather watch the Wings or the Sharks crew call the game. I hate it when the Hawks have a game exclusively on Versus...although less though than last year when DirectV didn't carry Versus. :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Haven't seen a beating like the one Kaleta put on Dorsett in a while.... at least not from the Sabres

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Wow! Good scrap!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-j25y0Mkxk

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Thanks for the link Tom. That was a good fight. Dorsett got in the first few punches, but after that is was all Kaleta.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I remember watching that on NHL network with the wife. She even said damn! Talk about firing up the chainsaw.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

It is amazing how some announcers on their own can simply ruin a solid game.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I really like both the Wings' and the Sharks' TV broadcast teams.

That Wings radio play by play guy is another story though....Sounds like the Snuggle fabric softener bear when the Wings score. :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

hahahaha,
My dad is a grumpy guy when it comes to announcers. Many a times he will be heard yelling at them when they get names or calls wrong. It makes the game that much more interesting at my house.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

LOL, Paul Woods & Ken Kal.

Funny thing is on local radio, Mickey Redmond (TV color man for most Wing's games) gets more flak for being a homer.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I ain't saying the wings guys are epic homers, but uh I don't know to many announcers that can compare. I guess when your used to hoisting the cup the people expect a rosey picture.

I think Wings fans will be happy again tonight though regardless of the announcers.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

There is no doubt Ken Holland is pure genius, his wings since who knows when will be the closest thing we will ever get to a dynasty team again.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Hey what do you know the good guys won one. :r
Didnt see the game was at the rink with the little man.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I watched the recap on NHL on the fly and the Sharks looked good. Niemi had some big saves too.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I watched the game on TiVo after my game....Niemi kept them in it in the 1st, and SJ dominated the rest of the way.

By the by, my team is hotter than any NHL team, 10-1-1 in our last 12. :)

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

You should be getting that call up any time now.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I am wearing my skates 24/7 now.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Just spit my soda out a little on that one. :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Niemi played a great game. Wings couldn't keep up the pace. I thought the Wings dominated the 1st period and after that it looked like they put cement in their skates. All while the Sharks kept playing at a high pace. The Heatly to Thorton goal was very nice.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

How about those HABS? :D

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Looks like the made the right choice for themselves in the Price / Halak situation. :tu

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Price just needs no competition, if he has a solid backup it will get to his head that he will lose the job, its been like that his whole career even non-nhl.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I only caught the third period and it wasn't pretty. SJ was getting 2/3 of the loose pucks. Not what I'm used to seeing out of the Wings this season. Babcock said it best (paraphrased), "We got out worked in the 2nd and 3rd.".

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Hawks face one of the hottest teams in the West tonight without Kane and Hossa. Coach Q changed his mind and will start Crawford instead of starting Turco against his old mates. I hope Corey is ready tonight.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Good luck Tom.
The Sharks get the Flyers and a chance to break their win one loose one trend. Not feeling confident

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

At least Niemi is starting to find his form, now you need some healthy D, Mike.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

BTW, I love the Wings announcers. All local announcers are homers to an extent, but Mickey really knows his stuff. Very down to earth and full of unique Canadian/Michigan vernacular. Ken Daniels & Mickey Redmond are my favorite. I wish they could do all the Wings games, especially when we have to suffer through some of the national guys when it comes playoff time.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I like Mickey too, Mike. I don't mind color guys being "homers", for goodness sake, that's "his" team. :tu

Ken is fine ...except when the Wings score a goal.....that girlish "he scores" makes me cringe. :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Its funny our local guys are not that bad on the radio. They often call players out. Point out errors and will often comment if a player got away with something. I prefer that. I am just not a fan of the rah rah guys.
