Grew up in Westland, and would love to see a double championship, especially if they play the 'Canes for the Cup.

It is much more likely to be Dallas celebrating the dual championships

I guess the head coaches threatened to make them all live in Dearborn if they didn't perform.

Who the Cowboys and the Texas Rangers? Because although I am not sure about the Stars, I know the Mav's have no chance.

A football coach was watching the news, and saw a kid in the new Afghan Army throw a grenade 5 stories high into a building, and the terrorist was blown out the window.

The coach says, "Wow, kid has an arm!" and flys to Afghanistan, convinced him to come to America and play football.

The kid agrees, and practices constantly. He tries out for an NFL team, as a walk on, and wins a place as a backup quarterback.

After a few games, the starting quarterback gets hurt, and he steps in, and wins the game in the final minutes. He continues to play, and gets better and better every week. Finally he takes his team to the Playoffs, and to the Superbowl. In a supreme effort, in the last few seconds he shakes off a tackle or two, and throws a pass to win the game!

He flys home to see his dad. "Dad, I won the Superbowl!"

Dad says "You are not my son!"

"Dad? What's wrong?"

"Look at us! We have no water, we have no electricity! I have to keep your sisters in the house to protect the family honor! We have no schools! People shoot at our house every day!






We never should have moved to Detroit!"
"

Could we maybe at least start the playoffs before we hand out the crowns? Just a thought.

The Mavs are soft. Should they somehow manage to emerge from the West, (Phoenix and San Antonio are better bets)the Pistons will beat them to death physically and mentally.

Now if Detroit could just produce a winning lineup of cars And better Senators and Governor), maybe then they would have something real to cheer about.

Steve Yzerman is an absolute class act - arguably the best leader to ever wear the "C". If this is gonna be his last run at the cup - and I hope it is not - if my Avs get bounced from the playoffs - I hope Stevie Y gets his name on the grail one more time.

Big deal. The owner of the Pistons is the same owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Both those teams cashed in on championships in 2004. The Dead Wings were no where to be found on ice the day the Lightning won the Cup.

Watch the Dead Wings crash and burn. Hockey Town, indeed.
