Please note: "" comments are actual MSS excerpts with a minor tweak to reflect the Detroit/hockey thing...... ******************************************************** BP: Welcome, all. And, please give a great Hockeytown welcome to the newest member of the Red Wings' organization, our new PR man, Mohammed Saaed al-Sahaf. Or, as we refer to around the office, MSS. MSS: Thank you, Brian Pate. You are our loved and respected great leader, yourself and Allah be praised. BP: Thank you, MSS. We will now open the floor for questions. HSJ: MSS, Helene St. James here, Detroit News. Many fans have questioned the lack of updates on the team's official site. What do you plan to do about that? MSS: "They are becoming hysterical. This is the result of frustration." HSJ: Um, I'm not sure how you can conclude that the fans are hysterical but, do you plan to update the site more frequently? MSS: "I will only answer reasonable questions." NC: Nicholas Cotsonika, Detroit Free Press. On the upcoming series with Nashville, who do you think the Preds will start, Osgood or Garnett? MSS: "We expect the aggressors to use anything, we don't rule out that in their depression at being vanquished, those losers will become hysterical and commit even more folly." NC: I see.... What preparations have the Wings made for the Predators in Game 1 here in Detroit? MSS: "They are most welcome. We will butcher them. We will welcome them with old skates and pucks." BM: Barry Melrose, ESPN Hockey 2Night. I think Nicholas meant what do you plan to do to defeat the Predators? MSS: "Today we slaughtered them in the airport. They are out of Detroit Metropolitan Airport. The force that was in the airport, this force was destroyed." BM: Doesn't that take away from the spirit of competition and good sportmanship? MSS: "We went into the airport and crushed them, we cleaned the WHOOOLE place out, they were slaughtered" BM: I caught that the first time.... But, if you slaughtered them all as you say, why did I just talk to Sergei Samsonov in the hallway? MSS: "Samsonov, he needs to be hit on the head." BM: But, if you slaughtered them, why are they here in the arena? MSS: "There are no Nashville infidels in the Olympia. Never!" HSJ: Ok.... Well, how do you feel the team will fare in the first round and, in the cup playoffs as a whole? MSS: "Our initial assessment is that they will all die" HSJ: I'll take that as an assesment of the first round. How about the playoffs overall? MSS: "My feelings - as usual - we will slaughter them all. They're coming to surrender or be burned in their skates." The Stanley Cup will soon be ours, Allah and Brian Pate be praised. NC: So, you're optimistic of the teams chances? MSS: "My feelings - as usual - we will slaughter them all." BP: Ok folks, one last question... JD: John Davidson, ABC and ESPN sports. MSS: "the louts of colonialism." JD: Um, ok.... Anyway, what's your prediction for game 1? MSS: "We will slaughter them, Casey Hearn and his international gang of bastards! Our Red Wings will be slapping those gangsters on the face, and then when they flee, we will kick their backsides." ************************************************************************* End of transcript
