  1. I am thinking about young newusername. Working at a factory during the day and a liquor store at night. Finding many a buyer for my true passion in places like that. Oh those were growth moments in my life. I would have actually had to support my dope habit on what I made at my jobs if Cannabis was legal. Keep it illegal for all the young entrepreneurs!
  2. As a Wings fan I was not happy that the Wings did not add a forward, but after seeing what it cost for 4th line centers I am glad we passed. I would say that the Wings current window is going to be closed before the Hawks. I also think teams like Nashville, Vancouver and San Jose have various issues that make them more desperate than teams like the Hawks. I know right now it doesn't look good, but I still think the Hawks can be a Cup contender this year and are still much stronger going into the future than most of the other Western Conference powers.
  3. I think Nashville realizes that their clock is about to run out. Unless they can somehow re-up both Sutter and Weber
  4. I was happy to have him when he wanted to wear number 64...after he ended up being 20something, I was hoping he would be a healthy scratch every game
  5. What kind of blue liner is he? Would he be a 2nd pairing on some teams or a 3rd pairng? I don't know much about him. 2nd or 3rd pairing. defensive defenseman. Not big but not small. He had several solid seasons with NJ. I think it is a solid pick up for the Hawks. Steep price though
  6. I guess Rick Nash is really pushing for a trade.
  7. I like Pahlsson. Of course he has never played for the Wings, so I didnt get the every game feel that Hawks fans got
  8. someone on a Wings board says the Hawks got Oduya...no link though
  9. the only rumor that I see the Hawks involved with so far this morning is a prospect and a 1st round pick for Mikhail Grabovski
  10. Good rule. Helmets are coming off way to easily
  11. agreed. MLB really needs to make this a personal health issue and not a cheating issue.
  12. But it seems that the Hawks are running it a lot lately. Of course I do not watch all Hawks games, so maybe I am just catching them at the right times.
  13. I only watched the 3rd period, but I am now convinced that the Hawks are playing the trap.
  14. I don't think the Wings would be hurting with Adelkader off the ice either.
  15. I do not mind Quincey. I may even think he could possibly be worth a very late 1st rounder. I just think it has to be slightly embarrassing to the Wings how Quincey has gone full circle and cost a draft pick because management valued other young dman more highly.
  16. Kronwall has been very effective this year with his hits on unsuspecting right wingers. I can see Q thinking John Scott may prevent that from happening. I can see Q thinking that, but he would be wrong. Without out a doubt he would be wrong. Kronwall isn't going to fight anyone. Scott cannot catch him to hit him. Scott would just end up fighting Bertuzzi or Adelkader. Both Bertuzzi and Adelkader will just tie him up after a couple of punches
  17. As a Wings fan I am interested in Ruutu. Carolina's posturing has me thinking that their asking price may be too high. However, I would be willing to overpay a bit if the Wings could sign him to a contract after the season. I think he would be a good replacement for Holmstrom/Bertuzzi.
  18. Kronwall has been very effective this year with his hits on unsuspecting right wingers. I can see Q thinking John Scott may prevent that from happening.
  19. No Toews either. I was going to miss the first couple of periods because of my son's BB game tonight. No Toews and Datsyuk will lesson me having to miss.
  20. no Datsyuk tonight.
  21. I think Cy Young it going to far, but I think Z will have a solid season. That being said, I am still glad he is with the Marlins and not the Cubs.
  22. Philly gave a 2nd and 4th round pick for Kubina...too much I just checked and they are already over the cap...I have no idea how they add anyone without subtracting.
  23. it's not that it needs to be heated, curing concrete creates heat on its own. The issue is that while concrete cures, it needs to be kept wet. The water used to keep it wet needs to be kept from freezing. That's why you temper a space that is receiving a pour. Admixtures help too. but yea, they pour in pretty cold temps in MPLS, they can do it in Chicago too. I have worked a lot of construction in my life and from personal experience you can pour concrete in some really crappy weather conditions, including very cold. It probably needs to be covered to trap in the heat while curing also.
  24. are the Hawks playing a 1-2-2 trap? It sure looks like they are on Nashville breakouts
  25. I think Columbus is in a tight spot. They have some talent but not a lot of depth in their system. They have several bad contracts and are even paying a player like Mike Commodore a couple of million a year to be the Wings 7th dman. They have a very disgruntled fanbase. Lastly they have a GM that is without a future. If they trade Nash what the organization would really need is good young prospects and draft picks, which is not what the fans will want. I guess I am saying they really need to fire the GM before they go trading Nash.
