Winging It In Motown Tips Needed for Visiting Fan


Hello there.... I am from St. Louis and will be attending the Blues @ Red Wings game on January 23 with my best friend. We have never been to Detroit, and we are looking forward to our trip to the Joe.

We are flying to Detroit Metro Airport, and staying downtown near the arena.

There is no shuttle to/from the airport provided by the hotel, so can someone let me know what our best option would be for transportation to/from? Cab ride is estimated to be around $55.... one way. Is there a subway or train system in place?

Also, any tips on eating/drinking places downtown near the arena?

Thanks for any help folks!

St. Louis Game Time McDonald Out Indefinitely


 chriskerber: McDonald out indefinitely with a concussion via Twitter for Android

 "Hello Phil McRae, you can use this locker right over here...."

 

So another blow to the Blues roster.  Maybe I am just in denial, but I still have hope that we can weather the storm.  This team looked so promising during the first dozen games of the year. Maybe we can hold on and make an epic playoff push again this season...

Seems that the NHL.com webmaster isn't a Hawks fan either.

Good for him.

Ok, here's the deal. My buddy Aaron and I went to the Summer Ice Radio show tonight downtown. His brother-in-law Alex was supposed to go with us, but he wussed out complaining of a stomach ache or something stupid. We actually think it was MPH (My Pussy Hurts).... but whatever.

He still wanted us to bring him back something autographed.... so we did. HAHAHAHA

St. Louis Game Time Hossa Injured!?!


http://blogs.dailyherald.com/node/2302

Pardon me as I laugh at all those poor Chicago fans.......

Some are already calling this is part of the on-going "curse" that Hossa brings to the table.  They mention how this may have happend in the playoffs, but would Chicago be putting up big bucks for YEAR 1 of the contract, knowing this injury was there?

I guess we will soon find out..... btw, any word on Jackman's knee injury from last season?

St. Louis Game Time Hockey in KC again....



Is anybody going to Kansas City again this year to catch the pre-season game at the Sprint Center? Its on September 22, with the LA Kings playing the NY Islanders.

I made the trip last year when the Blues played (got interviewed by SLGT....brad i think?).

Anyways, even though the Blues aren't playing, me and some friends are gonna take the Amtrak again and catch the game and drink some beer.

Anybody else going?
