FYI: I mean nothing personally, personally I'm enjoying the discussion. Have the wings heard if they'll get Chelios back yet? I never even heard why he missed Game 6.

Thanks for adding me to your lineup. Just wait 'til you see the article I am already concocting for when (I expect) we get knocked out...
