Is it weird that I would be happy for either team to win this game?

Too bad, I fell that way about both teams.

There is a conspiracy against Detroit.

I love watching the Wings play the Maple Leafs on Hockey Night in Canada. Well, the Red Wings are playing Toronto tonight on CBC. I’m convinced the networks knew how much this meant to me and purposely created a scheduling conflict.

It might be a good think for Schaub

He has potential to be a top 5-8qb. With a full off season hating that he did not get to play. Might be just enough to push him to the next level.
