sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 23 May 07

My Red Wings play a tough,clean, fast paced game. They may be small in size but they can play any big team. They may not start a fight but they wil finish it. They finish their checks.They play with a passion regardless of the...

jimbl75 There are a lot of factors in it. Not only Schneider, but Kronwell, shoot even think if we still had Fischer. I know people don't think of Fischer these days, but he would be crucial for depth with all of the injuries. Sure, we can blame officiating, it...

heatherc @heatherc (398) • United States 21 May 07

jimbl75 Not only was that a fluke of a goal, but the penalty on Pavel was kind of a fluke too. I am a huge Red Wings fan, but I have my doubts. Giguere is outplaying Hasek, and I believe the Red Wings injuries are starting to take it's toll, the Ducks are just deeper...

I have to rant about the gas prices!

sunshinedap @sunshinedap (615) • United States 21 May 07

This morning gas is $3.09 here in our small town! I am so tired of this. I drive all day for my day job and this cuts into my pay. Price gouging is supposed to be against the law, right? Well, it's gouging me! Just because...

jimbl75 I've been dealing with 3.42-3.50 for the past week here in Michigan, and as of today it is going up to around 3.69. I'm just as tired of it as all of you. I'm also tired of people that complain about the gas prices so much but don't do anything about it. What...

jimbl75 This is funny, I am just about to finish The Green Mile book. Of course I had seen the movie a long time ago, but as is usually true, the books are usually better than the movies and this is no different. I'm not a huge fan of Stephen King, some of his stuff I...
