Red Wings

Oh well. We got the win and the PP was looking well.. Again it was against a shitty team tho. I'd rather have seen Conklin in against the Jackets and Howard playing the Caps instead of vice versa.

[FCRhodes]

I'm glad I decided against spending $115 for shitty tickets to last nights game. A good seat in DC costs more than a round trip flight to Detroit and good seats at The Joe.

Good choice FC.

[jaadam4]

I like the fact that Holland actually saved us some cap space this year so we can make a move come trade deadline time. With this being Nick's last year I think it was a smart play

[jaadam4]

Actually, I should say.. Prob Nick's last year..

The Predators are schooling my Ducks.

[jaadam4]

Seriously... Fabian Brunnstrom waived!

Well that didnt take long. I will say one thing for the guy. He said he'd rather play for our minor league team than play for someone else in the NHL.

Very cool.

[FCRhodes]

Fabian cleared waivers, so to Grand Rapids he shall go. In even better news, Kronwall agrees to a 7 year contract.

Thats a nice deal for the Wings and Kronwall. Nice

Pilot error caused that KHL crash

I don't know if anyone has read the book Outliers but there is a chapter on airplane crashes, this story sounds just like the stuff that Malcom Gladwell described. Fear of causing a delay, communication issues between the flight crew.

[jaadam4]

That really sucks.

Good thing the Ducks came to town. Hopefully this will get them going.

[DanO]

Can we just play the Ducks every game?

[Panoptes]

Can we just play the Ducks every game?

For awhile at the end of the regular season anyway.

[DanO]

I could handle that.
