Bob, good pickup with Savard. He had a damn good start to the season. I was going to pick him up again yesterday but I picked up Cowan instead because I needed a left wing. I might hold on to Avery just because he will get me a lot of penalty minutes. I don't know when Lemieux is going to play again though. Forsberg hasn't really played in a couple of weeks and Spezza isn't doing as good as I thought he would.

I think my best find was picking up Jagr in the other Ants league. Who would drop him? :ugh:

Spartans vs Kansas tonight. Should be a great matchup. MSU #3 vs. #5 Kansas. Kansas lost it's two best players from last year. MSU has most of their players returning.

Spartans have a tough schedule this year and hopefullly they'll live up to their ranking. I'm excited for this game tonight at 9pm on ESPN.

It's funny because there is a school in A2 called "High Point" and it is a school for mentally handicapped people. It's down on a road off Scio Church.

I was joking around with my brother that UofM was playing this high point.

i havent heard about that matt. and your right, i doubt we'll be getting any warehouse packages this year.

[AdamP]

time for turkey day predictions. despite it being thanksgiving and the tradition of playing for the lions, they've just looked pathetic lately. they also werent too hot last year vs. new england. and while green bay hasn't been dominating this year, their still pretty good. 23-15 green bay, despite 5 field goals from hanson. even then, im still going to root for detroit. just not sure they can pull it off.

[KJ.]

I'm not sure if I'm going to Pontiac or Mt. Clemens tonight. I'd like to go to the Clem because it's much closer to home. But it is the biggest bar night of the year. Who knows. Just another of lifes tough decisions.

We're getting one. They said it would be 'worth the wait' during the WH chat a few weeks ago. :o

[rockyracoon]

go wings. god damnit.

[rockyracoon]

okay, people always talk about key players on a team. not necessarily superstars, but key players. players that can change the course of a game with one shift, one shot, one hit, one play. and i'll tell you what, kris draper is a key player for the detroit red wings. that guy is out there every shift busting his balls. in the corners, in the neutral zone, just everywhere. he is a guy that the red wings can NOT afford to lose. at all. kris draper. #33.

Speaking of concert posters, I'd pay top dollar in this holiday season for a Palace poster from this past summer.

[cavecricket34]

I find myself listening to the Palace show the most out of all the shows I have from this summer. I remember we (or at least I) didn't think the set was too good, but it really does have a good mix. LIOG, BOWA, So Right, Last Stop, some crazy DDTW outro, and a funky beat from carter on Warehouse (at about the 3:12 mark I think), even a sweet Grey Street, albeit truncated.

[rockyracoon]

that's the only show i have from this summer. i thought it was a pretty solid show.

[cavecricket34]

Looking back, it was pretty good. I remember I wasn't too impressed at the time. It took forever for the show to pick up, which didn't happen for me until around LIOG. Satellite -> WTWE just killed it for me, especially since I was hoping for BOWA in one of those slots. ;)

If you plan to make a vacation out of the drive go for it. Take the southern route. If you are doing it just to try and save money and doing it as fast as possible don't do it. It's a bloody long trip. Hotels plus gas will add up. I don't know how much time you plan on taking to do it, but I would recommend flying.

fuck, tack on another. 5-0.

So the Big Ten officially got their asses kicked in the Big Ten/ACC tourney. They can't win now that they are down 5-1.

#6MSU vs #6 Duke. Kinda wierd that they're both ranked the same. But it happens.


Wings are up 6-1. Fedorov scored his first road goal of the season.

At least it'll up their RPI. Also, I think I remember Izzo said he'd ba happy to win 3 of 5 of these games (Kansas, Dook, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Syracuse). I guess we'll see...but yeah they sure didn't look good last night. It was all over after Duke went on that 20-2 run...

We drove it when OSU was in the Rose Bowl last. I think we left Columbus around 9 a.m., drove all day and spent the night in Oklahoma City. Got up around 5 or 6, drove all day and spent the night in Flagstaff, AZ. Got up early and got into Pasedena around 1 p.m. There were four of us taking turns driving. On the way home we spent the night again in Flagstaff and then drove straight back. We spent about three days in LA and then for the game, stopped in St. Louis to see the Arch, Grand Canyon, etc.
It was very much well worth it. I had a blast.

Sportscenter was sweet this morning. the first four segments all Michigan/Detroit related, completely talking up Michigan sports.


that Wings game was kickass.

[John L Smith]

Duke owns us. They played awesome awesome D. Izzo seriously needs to get some offense. On the way out Ron Mason and the Hockey coach were behind us, and Ron says "Well sometimes when two great teams play each other, one team dominates. We did it to Florida last year, it just happens. They're going ot have to pick up the pieces and move on."

About 2 seconds later he gets into his bling of a Caddy.

well, it was pretty obvious to me that the Wings were gonna lose tonight once i saw that hasek was starting. plus the fact that this is the second time in a row that they have faced the blues in st. louis on the 2nd night of back to back games. fuckin bullshit. oh well i guess. 2-0 after 1. still a lot of hockey left, but hasek will let in at least 2 more goals.

[rockyracoon]

god damnit hasek pisses me off. did anyone catch sportcenters "hotseat" with brett hull? it was pretty cool.

[rockyracoon]

no, he said " cuz i want to kick his ass". fuck, they're playing like raw ass right now.

[rockyracoon]

dear dominek hasek : please get hurt again. you fuckin dickhead.

[rockyracoon]

[rockyracoon]

just the fact that they played like absolute shit for 2 periods and down by 3 after 2. and they come back to score 4 goals in the period, and get a tie out of it. wow. that's all i can say is wow. when you can get points out of games that you ply terribly in, than i think you're a pretty good team.

Well MSU and Michigan play a home and home series this weekend.

After both schools lost both games last weekend it will be interesting to see how things turn out.

I'm predicting a Michigan victory tonight at Yost and an MSU victory up at Munn.

All I know is either school can't afford to lose both games.

Steve Yzerman was drafted fourth overall in the 1983 Entry Draft by the Detroit Red Wings. That year, he made his NHL debut on October 5 with a goal and an assist against the Jets. Later that season, he played in the mid-season All-Star Game. At year's end, Steve was an All-Rookie Team forward and had set team rookie records for goals (39) and points (87). He was named The Sporting News' Rookie of the Year and was the runner-up to the Calder Trophy behind Tom Barrasso. More importantly, Steve helped the Red Wings improve 12 points in the standings to make the playoffs for the first time in six years. In four playoff matches, Steve scored three goals and six points.

In 1984-85, Steve led the Red Wings with 59 assists and finished tied for second in team scoring with 89 points. The Red Wings again made the playoffs and Steve scored two goals in three games. In 1985-86, Steve scored 42 points in 50 games before suffering a broken collarbone that sidelined him for the balance of the season. The team dropped 26 points in the standings that season and missed the playoffs. In 1986-87, Steve succeeded Danny Gare as team captain and paced the team with 59 assists, 90 points and 217 shots on net. He led the Red Wings to a 38-point improvement to finish second in the Norris Division.

Steve played in his second All-Star Game and paced the team with 50 goals, 52 assists, 102 points and a +30 plus-minus rating, all despite playing only 64 games.

[Matthew]

yeah, so I was born in '83, he's had 20 years in the league and could still be considered one of the best players...he's amazing.

[cavecricket34]

Steve's a cool guy. I saw him once outside Comerica Park. Didn't talk to him though.

[AdamP]

yzerman has been captain since i was born. and im a senior in high school. think about that. thats just insane. it will be a sad day when he retires, yet also a happy day. probably my favorite yzerman memory is the goal he scored against st louis a few years back, when he went just across the blue line and let it rip then kinda jumped around behind the goal as everyone crowded him.

So tonight didn't turn out as cool as I thought it was going to be. We were going to go to this club in Detroit but this "cool" band didn't end up playing. So we drank until midnight and then went to Mt. Clemens until closing time. Then went back to my friends house to drink some more. Does anybody remember Ernie Whitt who played catcher for the Toronto Blue Jays? I was at his house tonight. I grew up playing soccer with his son and we're still friends so it's cool to hang at his nice house.
