I will definitely be there. Heading to denver for saturday's game right after. Should be an epic weekend

1) Who is your favorite Detroit Red Wing player overall to wear the Red Wings Logo? Lidstrom 2) Who was your favorite Detroit Red Wing player that joined the red wings? (Non drafted by Wings, could be threw Trade / FA / Waiver etc...) Cleary 3) Which current player would you dream of them joining the Wings? Ovechkin 4) Which are the players that really "hurt / bugged" you when they left the Red Wings to join another team? Hossa, Schneider 5) Is there a player that you never wanted him on the team ... but eventually joined the team? Bertuzzi- although I have actually come to like him.

Even Cleary thought this was one of the loudest games at the Joe: " And the crowd was amazing. I think that's the loudest I've heard the Joe since I've been here."

Here's what I am thinking will happen. When I was in college at uofm, there was this penalty box chant that included some not so family friendly words. They handed out warnings and started kicking people out. At the beginning a bunch of people would get kicked out and it was enforced regularly. As more and more people got kicked out, more people started using those words, to a point that security pretty much stopped enforcing it. To this day, that chant still goes on. I think the nhl will closely enforce it at the beginning, but it gets exhausting to kick out and cite all the people who throw octupi out on the ice every game. And are they going to start enforcing this with vancouver and nashville "traditions" as well?

I went for the home opener this season. Spent a few nights at a hotel within walking distance. The surrounding area is beautiful. A shopping area with lots of bars and restaurants. My sister and I didn't rent a car, just used a taxi for the airport. There were a few hotels within walking distance. We stayed at the sheraton, which was nice. Theres a hotel called the renaissance, which is literally right next to the arena, but is also a little bit more money. Hope this helps

I actually noticed something before the game on wednesday. It was posted on the video board and said a few times, that if a fan throws anything on the ice during the game(I assumed this to be octupi) that the home team will be assessed a 2 minute delay of game penalty. I had heard of this before, but never had I seen this said/posted at the joe. I wanna hear the boos the first time a penalty is called for throwing an octupi. Lame.

I went to a wings game in columbus. Stayed at the marriott and the wings did stay there. Given it was 2 years ago, so I dont know if it has changed.

Seriously. Before the last game in phoenix versus the wings, a bunch of stores were selling red wing gear. Guess they need to make money when they can.

Has babcock changed his mind with playing hudler on friday? Just read this on mlive. "It makes it hard for me,'' Babcock said. "The good thing is, as coaches, just like my wife, I have the right to change my mind. How's that?'' Who knows

LMAO. The tie domi one was great. I always laugh when I think of shanahan in 2002 against carolina sitting in the penalty box motioning for some lady in the crowd to shave her arm pits, pretty funny.

Already been said, but the november game versus the ducks. That was the most insane regular season wings game I have ever been at. And of course, I loved seeing the wings beat the blackhawks to stop them from taking first.

Not that I am happy with a second round exit. But at the beginning of the playoffs I said if the wings can get to the second round, I personally would consider this season a success. The wings have the longest summer they have had in like 4yrs. Get healthy. Hopefully they will be ready to go in october. That said, go sharks/bruins!!!! My worst nightmare for a finals is chicago/pens.

Has kopecky been better lately, sure. But saying most wings fans regret him leaving is a little ridiculous. Here's his numbers from this year with chicago and last year with the wings: 2009-2010: 10G 11A for 21pts in 74games 2008-2009: 6G 13A for 19pts in 79 games So yea, not much of a difference for that pretty big increase in pay. He never would have worked with the wings under this salary cap.

Well, that looks to be the season. Can't win when your goalie lets in 2 soft goals, then a piss poor effort in the 3rd. Only ones to blame for this loss are themselves. Not the reffing this game. I can't remember feeling this crappy after a loss.

Well, not to be a pesimist, wings are in some serious trouble.

HAHAHAHA. "Also known as the splash".

This game is bizarre. Between penalty shots, reviews, last second goal. It just has a weird feel to it.

Dammit, need to have that. Need to have a better shift to end such a good period.

Ugh. dammit.

Are they serious? A review?

That is a good goal!!!!!

Damn, knew that was coming.... ugh.

Another penalty. Kind of a fitting ending to this game. Between bad breaks and s***ty calls, the wings weren't going to win... on to the Joe I guess.

That was pretty awesome. I kept thinking, why is this relevant to this site, up until the end lol.
