The Detroit Red Wings came to our town this weekend to play the Phoenix Coyotes !!

Let me start by saying this might as well have been a home game for them ! It was a sellout crowd of 18,000 and as we looked around the arena, it was a sea of red and white!! It was so surreal and special to experience something like that!

Cindori has always wanted to see them play live and now I know why... I have never seen a tighter, more talented group of players, ever.

They wasted no time scoring on us, and controlled the entire game...even when we had a 5 on 3 advantage, they took the puck down the ice and kept it there...absolutely amazing.

I am a Coyote fan...a big one, but the next time they come to town, I'm joining the sea of Red and White.

I understand now how the Swedes won the Gold Medal...Detroit Red Wings, baby!

lol! Tigerfan. Welcome to the club! We watched that Phoenix game and were amazed that even though 10 of the Olympians were still struggling with jet lag, that didn't stop them from doing what they do best. We could even hear the crowd chanting "Let's go Red Wings!" It's that way in Nashville too.

I'm glad you got to see them play live. I got to see them a couple of years ago in Minnesota. It's one of the highlights of my life!

People thought I was a bit "off" cheering for the Swedes, but I just love my wings, and the Swedish ones are some of my favorites.

Thanks Mary! Yeah, it was so funny, the announcer guy was trying so hard to get the crowd behind the 'Yotes, and it just made the crowd cheer louder for the Red Wings...it was deafening! We loved every minute of it!

We got a few comments when we were walking around between periods, because Cindori had on her Red Wings jersey and I was wearing my Coyotes jersey..
"I'll bet it's a fun night at your house" was the main one. lol!

They're playing the Coyotes again tomorrow night in Detroit, we'll be watching that game from a Red Wings sports bar!

If they were playing like that with jet lag, I can't imagine them at full strength!!! Amazing.

Tigerfan, same here in San Jose. They played here last Tuesday and you would of thought we were in Detroit. Luckily we beat them 5 to 1, so they didn't have much to cheer about, but when they scored that one goal it was so loud, that if you were standing on the concourse, there is no way you would have know who scored. There must be millions of Detroit fans out there. At least that is the way it feels. And they wear their red so it is really obvious by just looking at the crowd!!

Eggsactly Mamapors! I think they have the biggest following in Hockey! Rockin' fans, I'm tellin' ya'

Hey, cool, San Jose! We've seen the Sharks play here, it was a great time!

We have a couple of games left on our mini-season passes: The Ducks (always a good one, because they really dont like each other...lots of fights)
and the Kings...last game of the season, and we scored center ice seats for that one, we're so excited!!

Cindori turned me on to Hockey about a year ago, and I've turned into the most rabid fan of the game, I absolutely love it!! My only regret is that I went all these years without it.

Ok, the Red Wings and the Rangers need to kick it into high gear!! I know they can both play better than that! I wanted to see them play each other for the Stanley Cup!

On a Red Wings note... My Sweetest Cin bought me a collectable Cujo (Curtis Joseph) bobblehead, I was so happy to see him in a Red Wings uniform!! What a wonderful surprise that was!! Now, if we can just keep the real Cujo in Phoenix, I'll be a happy camper!

OH MY! That was heartbreaking! Did anyone see yesterdays' Edmonton vs. Carolina game? Poor 2nd goalie had to step up after Roloson was taken out. Four minutes left in the 3rd period, tied game, and this was the goalie's 1st NHL Playoff game, ever. Gets stuck behind the net and loses sight of the puck, next thing you know...

Roloson is out for the remainder of the season. I hope that Ty Conklin can get over his nerves in the coming games and bring it home for Edmonton.

We saw the game, Karen. Yes, it was heartbreaking, we feel so bad for Rollie, he's done such a great job for them!! Ty admitted it wasn't his smartest move and he said he'll shake it off and step it up.

Go Oilers!

Ugh. It's nice here, and I think I'll get called in to work tonight, so I won't get to watch the game, nor will I be able to post Don Cherry's attire. Hopefully I'll have enough time to get home to set my tape....

Time to gear up for Pre-Season! The Jackets GM is (again) telling us that we have a contending team. Uhhhh, heard that the last 5 years, Doug. That said, on paper, we do have a better team, as long as they can stay healthy.
Go Jackets!
(Is there usually much chatter on this thread? Looking for someplace other than Metroboards to talk hockey. TIA)

We're so excited that the season is just around the corner! We got our Coyotes season tickets via UPS on Wednesday. Our first pre-season home game is Sept. 20th against the Dallas Stars, we can't wait!! Let's go Coy-otes !!

We're hoping there is lot's of chatter in this thread this year! We're rabid hockey fans!

We're pretty excited here too! Counting down the days...

Our team has changed sooooo much since last season, we're a bit scared. New faces...fresh start.

Go Canucks!!

LOL, Cinnamon -- I'm looking at the 'Nucks this year thinking, "Gee, the team has changed so much, maybe I can finally cheer for them..."

Funny, that. :-) GO LEAFS GO!!

Me and my big mouth. "As long as we stay healthy"...and last night Feds goes into the boards, shoulder first, and may be out 3-8 weeks. Good thing the regular season doesn't start for 3 weeks.
OTH, so far the Jackets are 2-0-0...too bad these games don't really mean anything. lol

Sorry about your team Blujaxrocks. I was upset with the whole Zherdev situation. I had the little guy on my fantasy team last year, and he was great! I hope they get him signed, but so far it isn't looking good.

Then to lose Fedorov like that. I hope he heals fast, but it looks like he will be out for a few weeks...but like you say, hopefully that means he won't miss much more than the pre-season games. It helps that it happened at the start of the pre-season and not the end of it.

How's Rick Nash looking? My Fantasy league draft is coming up.

As far as I know, Nash is healthy.
Noticed some 'Nucks fan here. We got Anson Carter...what can you tell me about him?
