At the Joe

Red Wings players plan to scatter if NHL lockout occurs | Detroit Red Wings | Detroit Free Press | freep.com
As long as no one gets hurt and everyone is in shape and ready to go when the season starts the day after Thanksgiving...I don't care where they play.

Tootoo starts new chapter - Detroit Red Wings - News

Brian Burke says ESPN ‘stinks’ after they name Maple Leafs as pro sports’ worst franchise | Puck Daddy - Yahoo! Sports
Jim Schwartz is a big whiny crybaby and I heard he asked Gary Bettman to lock out Jim Harbaugh so that big meanie couldn't mess up his Yu-Gi-Oh deck. Jim Harbaugh cries himself to sleep every night and has that stupid scowl on his face because his brother John -- the better football coach -- broke his My Little Pony set and burned down his Barbie dream house. Suck it, J.J. Schwartz Rules.

Let's Go Red Wings.
