I guess I am rooting for the flames . . . . . . since they downed my beloved Red Wings. No I am not a band-wagon fan, but originally from Hockey Town and grew up going to the Joe and watching the Wings.

Too old I'm afraid. May not stand without a major rebuild.

 

I saw an interview with #19, "The Captain", last week. He's coming back. He said, he didn't have any inside info but he's optimistic that Dave Lewis & gang will still be coaching (as nothing been announced otherwise yet). He feels there will be change but not as major as many suppect. Time will tell. Bret's gone according to everyone - I think the team felt he was too lazy throughout the later part of the year. He seems to be the only one that's gone for sure, but I'm sure there will be others.

 

If the team decides that a rebuild is necessary you'll see many of the top calibre old-timers traded off for some younger talent.

 

More shitty hockey. Lowest ratings since '98. Big ing surprise.

 

What a game........ a heck of a lot of people missed some wonderful hockey! I'm exhausted from watching!!!!!

 

Not surprised the ratings are low but I'm amazed you didn't like the game (Billy). I thought it was great.

First two pers we had Calgary pouring it on and TB fighting them off in net... last period we saw Cal fighting back hard with TB on fire. 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2... win on OT. I'm all FOR it!

Low ratings are because of the team markets. Die hard fans will watch but there aren't many non-die-hard Calgary or TB fans.
