Shopping for a Wings Fan

I seem to have a weakness when it comes to purchasing Red Wings memorabilia, photos, media guides, t-shirts, etc. Here are some recent finds that I found while looking for random Wings stuff…

- The only item on this list that I have bought: The Captain. It is a 128 page book produced by the Detroit Free Press and consists of articles from his rookie year through this summer all written by Free Press writers and there are a lot of Mitch Albolm columns, so if you don’t like his writing you may want to stay clear. But I just got it in the mail today and love it, even more so than the SI Commemorative Edition. It has a ton of wonderful photos and I really enjoyed reading the articles dating back in the 80s before I was even born or when I wasn’t old enough to read the Wings coverage. It cost me just under $20 after you add in shipping.

- A Red Wings skin for your laptop at NHL.com. [$29.99]

- I love eBay. I have bought and sold many things via this auction website and you can always find great buys for hockey memorabilia as well as the random crap that you’ll be surprised someone actually bid on. For all my affordable 8×10 autographed photographs, I buy from Pacific Coast Memorabilia. They currently have 163 signed Red Wings items, which doesn’t include the hundreds and hundreds more they have for the other NHL teams.

- You can buy a NY Rangers t-shirt made in honor of Shanahan’s 600th goal at NHL.com. [$19.99]

    Ooo! I like the laptop skin, but it would look better if it was blue and white….you know, Leaf colors!

    *shudders at the thought of a laptop ruined with leaf colors* NHL.com has the laptop skin for each team by the way…

    Wow I never knew how amusing the nhl site was. Especially this: http://shop.nhl.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2477480&cp=1919747&clickid=body_bestsell_img

    But holy… I’m getting my laptop replaced soon. I think I’ve made my decision.
