Wings thus far
Thursday, October 16th, 2008So I'm sitting here watching the Wings (and more precisely watching them scoop Stuart off the ice) and I'm thinking they don't look so hot yet this season. Yes, I realize the season just started, but they haven't impressed me yet. Except Holmstrom. That dude has managed to get his stick ...

Avery a Movie Star?
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008I knew he was an actor, but now they're going to make a movie about Sean Avery's internship with Vogue? WTF? Hockey star fashions Hollywood gig Seriously? I don't think I could endorse such a movie nor watch it when it comes out, but what do I know? Maybe it would be ...
Osgood and Lidstrom on Leno
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008Osgood and Lidstrom were on Jay Leno last night with The Cup (and with some Wings fans in attendance). It's cool to see they were on the show, but the stupid skit they did was just horrible.

My Thoughts on the Wings Win
Thursday, June 5th, 2008As Brandy pointed out in her comment this afternoon, yes, it is long past morning and I had not discussed my "thoughts." It was just a kind-of-maybe long day today. But on to my thoughts of the Stanley Cup Finals... First... obviously excited about the win. How could ...

Ted Lindsay: Konstantinov was greatest hockey player in the world
Monday, May 12th, 2008Ted Lindsay must be one of the least shy guys in NHL history. I've heard stories, but it sounds like he's still willing to say whatever is on his mind. Ted Lindsay: Konstantinov was greatest hockey player in the world "He was the greatest machine in the world," Lindsay told the ...
Cherry joining ESPN for Eastern Conference, Stanley Cup finals
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008I think Cherry sharing his opinion on ESPN will be good, but the thing I find really amazing is the part below. ESPN - Cherry joining ESPN for Eastern Conference, Stanley Cup finals - NHL Cherry will donate his ESPN fee to the Humane Society. That's pretty spiffy if you ask me.
New Round, New Predictions
Monday, May 5th, 2008So my last round didn't work out well for me. Or it did. Depends on how you look at it. Detroit beat Colorado, but took 4 instead of 7. Way off there. Dallas beat San Jose, so Turco hasn't buckled under the pressure as I expected he would yet. I'm hoping that ...
No Forsberg, no Smyth, no Stastny for Game 4
Thursday, May 1st, 2008I'm not complaining, because undoubtedly, it's better for the Wings if these guys aren't in the lineup, but what happened to the days of tough hockey players that stuck it out for the good of the team? Maybe it doesn't matter because they are down 3-0, but this could be ...
Sold the call?
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008Red Wings go up 3-0 on Avs - NHL - Yahoo!

NHL Star Called Up To Big Leagues To Play For NFL
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008Damn, The Onion slammed hockey AND Detroit in one video. That's harsh.
Wings 4, Avs 3
Friday, April 25th, 2008Let's interrupt our regularly scheduled work day as I waste some time discussing my thoughts on last night's game. I thought the Wings looked great in the first period. They controlled the puck well and looked like they could beat any team. But what happened after the first? The rest of ...
Predictions for Round 2
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008So, let's see how I did in round 1: Detroit over Nashville, 6 games - I was going to originally pick Nashville, but now I’m seeing Detroit making it out of the first round and getting creamed in the second. I was right, at least about Detroit winning in 6. I'm thinking ...
