GOING WITHOUT
January 7, 2005

The regular season doesn't mean anything in hockey -- until it's gone. Some things we miss most during the NHL lockout:


?Steve Yzerman. Realistically, how many seasons does he have left? It's a shame to waste one.


?Mickey Redmond and a little bingo-bango.


?Cheering-booing for our Red Wings goalie of choice.


?Scotty Bowman. Actually, we've missed him for a couple of years now.


?Debating what physical defenseman the Wings should pick up at the trade deadline.


?Don Cherry. We still like him, even if a lot of Canada doesn't anymore (apparently it's a red province-blue province thing).


?Kerry Fraser. Whom can we yell at now?


?Even the left-wing lock. Dull, yes, but it's still Red Bull compared to the West Coast offense.
