I was just wondering whatever happened to Christy. I have not been here is a while.

Hey, I'm heading to Detroit for "College Hockey at the Joe" this Saturday. What are good places near Joe Louis to get dinner? How early should I show up (going with my dad and uncle as well)? I figured this blog might be the best place to ask. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

"One time [the Red Wings] had played poorly on special teams and we were practicing the penalty kill," [Aaron] Ward says. "The puck comes to me, I stop for a second and then shoot it out of the zone. Scotty blows the whistle and starts screaming that I should get rid of the puck before I get it. There I am, wondering if that's even physically possible. Now we're doing a drill where the [defensemen] have to get the puck out of the zone off the face-off, and he's standing at the boards at the blue line. For me to get it out, I'm going to have to wing it right at him. At this point I probably haven't been in the lineup for two weeks. Off the face-off the puck comes to me way too easy in the corner—you can see [centers] Steve Yzerman and Kris Draper grinning—so I fire it around the boards and wham! it hits Scotty in the head. He's bleeding. My career's over. He blows the whistle and screams, 'That's how you get the puck out of a zone.'

HI: So if they had ultimately given you an apartment, that would have been enough to keep you from fleeing to the NHL?

Fedorov: I think so, yeah. Even if they had just provided me with a car, that probably would have been enough for me to stay.

"Yesterday, I had 16 beers delivered to my apartment, and I turned around and said to my wife, ‘See it’s better here than in Detroit where they give you an octopus.’ There was a note attached with it that said, ‘Drink one after every win on your way to the Cup.’ Now that’s why I love this town. I don’t know who sent it. It was anonymous and now they’re at home on ice. Last night I got a series out of the way already and drank four of them, though."

Sources tell TSN Johan Franzen and the Detroit Red Wings have agreed to a long-term contract extension.

Sources say the deal is believed to be a long one, upwards of nine or 10 years in order to keep the salary cap hit to a manageable level for the Red Wings.
