    Do you recall when Datsyuk first came to Detroit? All he'd do was pass the puck! WOW! Look at him now!



    Yep. And now he's probably the greatest all-around player ever to lace 'em up. Hard to make an argument to the contrary.


    Don



    Although he didn't get a ton of ice time, I had the privilege of watching him play during last Saturday's game which ended up a shoot out loss to Chicago at The Joe (attached). He did contribute to tie it up late in the third.

    Amazing to watch him handle the puck!

    Is this only with paying customers or with first time students? If not, then I believe the current record is 103 tandems in 24 hrs by Chip Bowlin.



    Actually, that record was broken (reported in Parachutist), but not by very much. Would have to check the world record web site to verify the current credit.



    Correct. 105 jumps in 24 hours. T/M was Luther Kurtz. Experienced pax was Angela.

    Is anyone here that was there when Don flew his MIG that night...the hundred foot fly-by over the big-top at over 500 MPH???



    Yes.

    Was also there when they were manifesting for 'Mile-High-Club Initiation' loads on the Ford Trimotor. :D

  19. Wendy is pretty spot on. He likely won't take to heart any threatened consequences that you give him verbally. Alcoholics don't like to be told what they should do. Especially from family members. It's usually experiencing those consequences that gets their attention.

    It's been my experience that the hurtful things an alcoholic says to loved ones are only a reflection of their own self-hate. They will attack those closest to them in reaction to their own self doubt and character defects.

    Please feel free to PM if you need. I'm blessed to have 3 years of clean sobriety recovering from 25 years of active alcoholism. Been there done that.

    Detroit's biggest problem is with their defence. Also, the fact they do too much passing the puck and not taking shots. Drives me nuts! They'll pass-up a good chance to shoot and pass the puck, usually ending in a turn-over.

    I agree and feel your frustration. Despite that, they are still 4th in the NHL standings as of this morning. :)
    GO WINGS!

    How 'bout Ozzie! 401 wins! I got a hunch, this will be his last year.

    Chuck



    I agree with your hunch, Chuck. Though I'm hoping he'll remain close in some capacity. Maybe start a kids league using his backyard hockey rink in Plymouth, Mich.? B|

    401(+) wins and 3 Cups under his belt? H.O.F. is definately somewhere in his future IMO.

    So, I guess my point is, as human beings when are we going to knock this crap off?




    Never. Civilized society is but an illusion wrapped around our eyes to prevent us from seeing the reality. Most people, when left to their own devices will revert to their feral animal states and act accordingly.

    There is no reason to have any faith in humanity.



    All hope is not lost.
