“Hossa’s slap in the face of Pittsburgh”
We signed Hossa, we should have signed him at the trade deadline but we have him now.  Should solidify our scoring for the next season and bring ‘another’ power forward/strong 2 way player to the team.
GO WINGS!

I was fortunate enough to be able to actually attend the Stanley Cup Finals with my Dad, Game 1 in Detroit on Saturday May 24, 2008. The Wings dominated the game and shut out the Pens. We had fantabulous seats, just off center ice, 15 rows up. We arrived about an hour […]
