Nice! I miss live hockey. I used to go to loads of RPI games when I was there; and saw a Devils game where they beat the hated Flyers!

The Red Wings flight left about 9:30 this evening for Stockholm. On Friday, they will open the 2009-2010 NHL season against the St. Louis Blues.

We have 7 Swedes on our team - Andreas Lilja, Niklas Kronwall, Henrik Zetterberg, Nicklas Lidstrom, Tomas Holmstrom, Johan Franzen and Jonathan Ericsson.

A little known fact....

The first testicular guard "Cup" was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974.

It took 100 years for men to realize that the brain is also important.

Hockey for me begins on Thursday. The Flames will be at home taking on the Canucks. And I will be there to see it all live! Woohoo!!!

oh, really?

It took me one minute to realize that you can't skate around with a testicular guard on your head to protect yourself.

Your comments are sexist, therefore you get at two minute pass to the sin bin for Unsportsmanlike (woman) Conduct....

Go....

Get your 'someone' to take a penalty before or after you.

Oh crap!!

DETROIT -- Bad news on the Johan Franzen injury front: The Red Wings just announced that the big forward will be out a minimum of four months after sustaining a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Thursday's 3-2 win over Chicago.

This is the third straight season in which Franzen has injured his knee in October. But this is his most serious injury.

Franzen, whose first goal of the season proved to be the game-winner at 17:49 of the second period Thursday, is starting the first year of an 11-year, $43 million contract.
