Don Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Beagle got wrecked for sure. Not sure what the hubbub is about. I saw Ashams gestures, he got caught up in the moment, I dont blame the guy that much, he showed some class afterwards tapping his stick on the glass as Beags got helped off the ice. Asham owned up to his gestures being classless after the game, no harm no foul, but I hope King gets in and shows him a thing or two next time. Its hockey!

maz Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I didn't see what he did until I watched a replay just now. As a pens fan I know that Asham is one of the classiest guys out there, so I was surprised to see him do that, but like you said, it's hockey. He got caught up in the moment, and owned up to it later. Just another anecdote in story of the rivalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFB Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Two games into the season, and I don't recall a single mention of the Red Wings on sports radio thus far(and I listen all day, every day at work). No training camp coverage, news on position battles, reaction to the first couple of games...nothing. I know we've got a lot of other stuff happening with sports in Michigan, and I know the "wake me up when the playoffs start" attitude around here. But nobody's even mentioning the Red Wings...Hey, hey, Hockeytown!Seriously? Let's see the sporting events relevant in the state of Michigan this week:- The Tigers are in the ALCS for only the second time in the last 20 years. - First Lions MNF game in 10 years vs. the Bears... (Have you heard they're undefeated?)- The undefeated #11 Michigan Wolverines travel to East Lansing to take on their rivals, #24 Michigan State Spartans.- The Red Wings play one regular season game all week... vs. the Vancouver Canucks. What, are you upset there is no Pistons lock-out talk too? I'm as big of a Red Wings slappy as you will find, but the Red Wings are currently on the backburner, at least until the Tigers season is over. Come December, when college football wraps up and there is no basketball to talk about, the Wings will get there fair share of radio time. We'll also have a better sample size to look at some of the issues this team is facing and how they're dealing with them... (such as: Is Howard solid enough to win a cup? Are they going to have to make a move to fill Rafalski's skates on the blue line? Is Mike Babcock's hair really that exquisite?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySmalls Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Caps kill me with all this overtime, but a win is a win and I'll take it.It will take time for all of the new integral parts acquired in the offseason, Ward, Brouwer, Hamrlik, Halpern, and Vokoun, to adjust to the Caps defensive/dump and chase playing style. However, they are settling in to the new line combinations and are beginning to play better than the first two games this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But zero Red Wings talk?!? In Hockeytown™?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess keeping the spirit of this conversation in mind that the Red Wings shouldn't write "Hockeytown" on their ice when every other sports story in town over shadows the team in question.

Lately they've been going with really poor slogans like "Sea of Red" or "Red Alert"... I think the only reason it's still even remotely around is due to establishment of the Hockeytown Cafe, Hockeytown Authentics, etc... which were established around those late 90s Stanley Cup teams. It was also a pretty popular campaign in the area, right up there with "Whose Your Tiger?" and "Going to Work" (Pistons). But I don't think that they're still desperately holding onto it like you imply that they are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabokov for all intents and purposes will be used as a trade pawn come February, but if DiPietro continues to be hurt at that point, idk they may have to keep him on board for the time being Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
