    OK so probably no one except Bobda and maybe Corey saw it but the Red Wings came back from a 3-1 deficit after the first to spank the Blackhawks at Wrigley Field. How often do you get to see a view from the blimp and a flyover at a hockey game?

    I saw some of it. Those fans down the foul lines, in the bleachers, and on the rooftops could not possibly have had any kind of view. I guess they just wanted to say they were there. It actually was pretty cool to watch.

    Chicago is fighting for the division lead they really wanted to win. They are playing a home and home with the Wings and lost Tues. in Detroit, they really wanted to win. It was outdoors, in Wrigley, with a big TV audience. They really wanted to win. They led 3-1 after 1 they really wanted to win. Damn it was great scoring 5 straight goals and whipping them at home. We don't have much else here in Motown...

    Congrats, Gip...with my usual loser mentality I remain a Bluejackets fan.

    That was a fun game to watch and a great result. It took a little big of the sting out of watching the B10 bowl fiascos although I think Stu's regimen of self medication might be the best way to watch the B10 carnage.

    I watched it while flipping over to the football games. I love NHL level pond hockey!
