There was always a special something watching Yzerman, in my opinion. Lidstrom is probably my second favorite player of my lifetime (12/1989-present), but way ahead of number three.

I was born in 2/1990, so the three favorite players of my lifetime are McCarty, Lidstrom, and Yzerman. Every time I turn on a Wings game, I miss the Captain. Hopefully he'll take Kenny Holland's job, whenever he wants to retire.

Fat Tire?
Fat Tire?
Are you in Colorado?
It's been nice having Wings games on NBC Sports and the Michigan game on ESPN this week. If only they would put BTN on the basic package.

Indiana actually.
I can also get it at home in Illinois. Love me some Fat Tire, it's my go-to session beer 3/4 seasons. I'm actually drinking it out of a can right now, which I thought was really cool when it first came around.
Go Blue!

I do love Hopslam, but I can't drink more than a couple in a night. That and it's twenty dollars a six pack and I'm still on a student budget. Fat Tire is perfect for drinking-drinking, because it's much better than Budweiser or something, but it's still a pretty light ale, and available year round.
Probably gonna get the banhammer for this, but all I ever drink in the summer is Leinenkugal's Summer Shandy. I get a craving maybe five times all summer for an Oberon, but other than that, those are the two beers I rely on throughout the year.
Go Blue!

I have to agree with you,

I have to agree with you, Summer Shandy is delicious. Of course, my usual fall back beer is a cold Budwesier, being that I'm still in undergrad. Just had my first Hopslam not too long ago. Delicious.

I've also got Hopslam tonight. Hooray Bell's. Anyone try the Sam Adams Alpine Spring yet? The commercial definitely intrigued me. Looked like a hopped up bock.
Whatcha gonna do, little brother?

Lidstrom did not come with the team to the Bell Centre tonight. His streak of playing in 213 straight game will come to an end.

Luckily, Montreal's abject lack of discipline is keeping us in the game.
