Detroit

What does everyone think about Bill Laimbeer leaving his WNBA coaching position? How would you like to see Laimbeer taking over the reigns of the Pistons? I have al

So with game 1 in the books, Detroit has shown that familiarity breeds dominance.  With that, here are a few things to take away from last nights game 1 and to look for in game 2.

First, it is plain to anyone who has working eyes that Henrik Zetterberg enjoys the hell out of shadowing and dominating Sidney Crosby.  It wouldn'y suprise me if Gary Bettman blew up Hanks phone all day asking him to please take it easy on pet Sid.  In fact, it's not even funny how glued Z was to The Kid, whose own shadow wasn't even visible.  If Zetterberg wins this matchup 85% of the time, this series will be short.

bly only get you a top 5 draft pick, for real, James Laurinaitis should start shopping for homes in Detroit right now.  

Still, though, Michigan isn't just supposed to skate by with a few wins.  They are supposed to rule the big ten and then crumble in defeat under the mere presence of Jim Tressel's sweater vest, but if you've watched this year you know that youth and inexperience has been the main issue with Wolverines.  Now, just read that last sentence only replace the words "youth and inexperience" with "fumbles and more fumbles".

ll the blame.  Which I'm sure will lead to all sorts of breakdowns and an eventual boom in the Detroit mental health industries.

Again, I ask.  What now?  

Week 4 is a BYE.  Thank god, we can't lose.   So, we'll just have to wait and see who gets the job.  I imagine the job will go to an immigrant, because they are the only ones who'll do this job that no American wants.
