Off to the Hawks game soon. Sorry, Mike, going with the TC jersey for sentimental reasons.

Thomas made a statement that was rather anti-Obama. Mass is a "blue state" so to speak, where the overwhelming majority voted for him in 2008. Not surprising that it didn't go over so well around there.

BTW, Wings are first in the NHL with 67 points and 33 wins. Overall I think they're doing rather well. Ian White was a good pickup with the retirement of Rafalski. Not an easy guy to replace. They need to tighten up on the defensive turnovers, especially in their own zone. Also, while White is playing pretty well, I still see some plays that shows me he's not quite 100% comfortable in the offense or with the players around him. Half way through his first season here I kind of expect that. Hopefully that won't be an issue come playoff time.



Go Wings!
