Brent Sopel’s a happy boy today. Because nothing makes you smile like the misfortune of others, at least that’s the case when you used to make millions and now you’re about a 50/50 shot of playing in the NHL this year—at least for the Wings.
Kulfan/Detroit News
There’s one fewer candidate to win a roster spot on the Red Wings defense.
Kyle Quincey was walking around the locker room Friday with a cast on his left hand, the result of a broken bone suffered during intra-squad scrimmages back in Traverse City earlier in the month.

Did Sopel check him in the scrimmage?

OT: Anyone having any luck at all with CI online? I show all 4 games, yet no video or audio. Both IE and FF.
Yep, I’m ready to plunk down MY $150!

Working fine for me Dub. Heard the leafs announcer deflate on Kronwall’s goal.

It literally just popped on as I read your reply… you have strong mojo, sir.

I may actually do this online thing; do you guys know if I would just have to tap into the away feed in order to watch wings games because of the local blackouts?
Also, are we this homerish on our broadcasts? self lovin until you’re blue and white in the hands i guess….

So much for Sopel: good luck with your fellow giveaway partner with the equally dashing hair…
Go Meech!

You snatched the words right outta my mouth, Srt… no tears shed here.

Fantastic.
After being able to watch roughly 40% of this game, the whole kit and kaboodle decides to freeze up with a few minutes left.
Tell you what, NHL/Neulion (sounds ominously euro-trashy) give me this travesty free for this season, make it work right at least 90% of the time and I’m a buyer next year. Period.
I wouldn’t pay $20 for this headache.
(enh, yeah I would… I just can’t help being mesmerized by our one-dimensional pluggers, even if it 640x480 at 6 FPS. And no audio.)

Sopel travelled with the Red Wings to Toronto on Friday afternoon, and was scheduled to play against the Maple Leafs in a pre-season game that night, but informed the team shortly before the game that he was in serious contract talks with another club.
He had been in Detroit’s training camp on a tryout basis, and was offered a contract by the Red Wings shortly before signing with Chicago.
Disaster averted.
Sure, he’d be an occasional distraction from the usual “Oh my g*d Lilja,” but his offense is more than offset by his Langsian tendencies.

With all due respect to the Leafs (it should be Leaves you queen worshiping dolts), we’re going to spank you tomorrow. You will, however, have the hope gained from splitting the PREseason series with one of two original 6 teams who still have respect in the league.
6 goals…I would be *shocked* to see you get two tomorrow…
good pace to the game though eh

From my pixelated, freeze-frame mute point of view, it seemed like it.

Wow, thanks for the heads up, Gang! I’ll stick with only the Center Ice TV package. 640x480 6fps and all the dropped connections would make me punch my screen repeatedly. And I like my screen.
I still wish i could see pre-season.

Does this injury really change the situation much? From the sound of it, Quincey was headed for GR anyway, leaving the battle for the final spot between Sopel and Meech.
