Seats are a *hard* commodity to come by in the BIGS! Detroit head coach, Scotty Bowman sent media heads rolling with an annoyed plea for seats (for players' families). He expected a little help from them to get NHL Higher Up (Gary Bettman) a "leg-up-on-it". At Colorado the Wings had to bring their own bench for extra visitors! We thought we had problems ( Division 1 college hockey). When asked by the media how he puts his teams together, sometimes mixing positions, Bowman said, " We have some forwards who can't skate backwards." I particulary loved this comment! (-: According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune today, the team that wins game 1 has gone on to capture the Cup 46 out of 58 times since 1939! Any predcitions? P.S. Snow in goal for game 2! Price
