The "DAVE" CORNER

Here is a tribute to the guy (DAVE BONKOSKY-GM DETROIT RED WINGS) who gave us many laughs throughout the course of the season. He was our comedic relief, so to speak. Enjoy some of the doctored pictures courtesy of Travmerica Industries.

(Top picture)-Dave suited up for the injuried Zetterberg. He played only 2 minutes before coach Sather took him out. "You can't hover at center ice all shift long. It's called D-fense. Look into it."-said coach Sather of the 'cherry picking' General Manager. (Bottom left)- BobbleBonkosky night was a huge success at the "JOE" this season. (Bottom right)- Dave Bonkosky thinks the NsHL is AYYYYY OKAY!!! "Let's go party in my Scirocco" said the GM.

It was a well known fact that the Red Wings and the Anaheim Mighty Ducks became huge rivals this season. GM Bonkosky was seen here before practice with his "ANTI-ANAHEIM" campaign gear on. Dave still refers to Giguere as the "Flopping Blob".

Draft Day Eve was spent in a Pirates Super Box watching an impressive game and fireworks show before the Draft weekend.

Draft Day 1- July 22nd, 2006. Who was missing from the group picture to the left? Yes, it was Roger Gorbet. Winner of the prestigious Jaegermeister Trophy seen here the morning after. Ouch is all I can say. Roger spent the first day of the draft at home recovering from the welcome party.

Draft Day 2- July 23rd, 2006. On the 2nd day of the draft, Calgary's GM Andrew Drummond summons the expertise of his wife Shelly to make the next pick. Shelly led the charge of women to the Grove City outlets for a day of shopping.

Draft Day 2- July 23rd, 2006. Dave hugs Chris Malagise, our stand up comedien for the Commissioner's Cookout the night before as Mark Kopsack yells "bitchin!". Chris is still looking for his heffer with cheese for Julio. I feel a lot of love in this room.
