    If you have a chance to make life better for others, and fail to do so, you are wasting your time on this earth.

    So should we be wearing nametags to this thing or something? I would assume this is the first time I'm going to meet most of you off of the forums.
    If hope can grow from dirt like me ...

    You can if you want to......we will have the "Hello My Name Is" stickers at the table. I kinda have to wear one, even though EVERYONE should know Dirty Tom by now ;)

    Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for all the work you guys are doing, especially for us out-of-towners. :clap: Posting the hotel info and blocks was a huge help for those who have not been to Detroit.
    Now this may be a stupid question, but do we have to attend the pre-party to stay at the blocks in the hotels? Work schedules don't give us enough time to get there until right before the show :x
    Thanks!

    He was born Christos Tselios. . . Chelios is what he anglicized it too. Are you a wings fan Mr. Tom? Wouldn't want a Sabres fan showing you up about your own players? :D

    Good question - I think you should HAVE to attend the pre party :) But reality is you do NOT have to attend (but you'd miss out on all the cool people :) )

    Agreed!
    And the cause couldn't be better (Beneficiary: Michigan Humane Society) or closer to our hearts. Not to mention there is no better group of people to hang with than fellow fans of Eddie. :mrgreen:
    If work schedules allow (or if we have to play hooky) we may see you there to help the cause!

    That response just made my morning!! And to think I was talking to a NON hockey fan...very nice!

    And for the record i'm also a huge Sabres fan. One of my all time favorites was Alexander Mogilny #89!!

    Absolutely NOT. You don't have to go to the pre-party to utilize the hotel deals. Yes, we would obviously love for you to be there, but it's not mandatory.

    Alexander the Great. He was just unbelievable. It still blows my mind I don't know how many years later that Bure, Federov, and Mogilny all defected to the NHL. Honestly, I think the Wings got the best deal out of those teams by landing Federov, but could you imagine if they all went to one NHL team?

    I still think it's wrong that Hasek and Mogilny's numbers aren't hanging from the rafters in HSBC. Lafontaine wouldn't have been half the star he was without Mogilny.

    If the Sabres make it deep into the playoffs this year, there's a good chance you'll get to see me with a sweet beard at the pre-party. If they dink out of the first round, I'll probably be clean shaven.

  • I def have a 03 Dallas poster to donate. Just can't pm on my phone.
    Just, not enough.
    I need more.
    Nothing seems to satisfy.
    I said, I dont want it.
    I just need it.
    To breathe, to feel, to know Im alive.

    I could never imagine the Wings without the Russian Five. They were what made me become a hockey fan, Fedorov, Larionov, Kozlov, Fetisov, and Konstantinov. They also helped me become very good at pronouncing Russian names. :) I miss hockey...
