They booed him MANY other times, including Savard's jersey retirement night. And yes, people wear Hull jerseys, but when you look around the UC, you see every jersey under the sun, unlike the Joe where all you see are Yzerman jerseys and people foaming at the mouth mumbling "Steeeeevie, Steeeeeevie, Steeeeeevie" like a buncha zombies.

Now that Hossa is on the Wangs, I hereby declare him Marion Hoser.

Grading Day 1 of free agency
Grading Day 2 of free agency

The Devils are bringing back Rolston and Holik : \. Let's see if they can find any more scorers in free agency.

Avery left the Rangers and signed w/ the Stars. That's a big loss for the NYR.

Oh good grief. Get a life. People aren't chanting "Stevie, Stevie, Stevie" unless he is there playing or by chance dropping the puck. Exaggeration much? You see people wearing all sorts of jerseys in the crowd at the Joe too. Believe me. UC ain't all that special.

And booing someone upon their death is pretty tacky if you ask me. There are a handful of types in this world where that may be fitting upon their death. Being a terrible owner of a hockey team is not one of them.

I'm sure all the newspapers will take Steve-O's declaration of Marion Hoser as gospel and hurriedly right it down for their next articles.

I truly hope that you Wang fans have to suffer through what Dollar Bill did to the Hawks, ONLY THEN WILL YOU UNDERSTAND. What if your owner cut all your home games from TV? What would you do? Youd be pissed and probably boycott!!!! Right??? Right! Then what if he raised ticket prices on top of that. Strike two!!! Then say he was overheard (as Bill Wirtz was) saying he doesnt want the Cup in Detroit. Youd probably never step foot in the Joe again. And to make things worse, he gets rid of Zetterberg, Datsyuk, etc, in the same fashion Wirtz let Chelios, Belfour, etc go. Then let this happen for many years, and w/o any playoff appearances because your owner was too cheap to buy any talent.

You have no idea how much we've suffered around here. But the Hawks are back, mark my words.

And regarding your cute little "get a life" statement, I aint the one wearing a Wang jersey, sounds like someone else needs to get a life.

You have no idea what I would do. I can tell you right now that I most certainly would not Boo a man upon his death, just because he didn't do what you and your fellow Slackhawk fans would like. There are few things in this world that deserve that sort of tacky treatment after they are passed. Just shows what sort of person would do that.



Suffering. This is HOCKEY. It's a passionate game. But it's not life or death.

As for the 'cute' get a life comment I gladly have one. And fortunately, for all us Wings fans, we have the cups to prove it. We should be really ashamed of wearing those jerseys proudly eh? Especially when the Wings have proved themselves. Gotcha.
