Switch to decaf & take off the tin foil hat. From Craig Custance: "Red Wings GM Ken Holland likes to joke that Lidstrom's retirement press conference will be followed shortly by his own" From Bob McKenzie: “DET GM Kenny Holland always used to joke, at least I think he was joking, that he would retire five minutes after Nick Lidstrom retired.” From Kevin Allen @ US Today: "GM Ken Holland used to joke that he was going to retire when Lidstrom retired" And strung along? The same man who was at the top of pretty much every team's wish list that had an opening the past couple of years, was given opportunities to interview for them, & turned them all down due to the fact he wanted to stay in Michigan as his wife was battling cancer? The same man that was paid as much as GM's throughout the league & was on record saying that he loved the autonomy that Kenny gave him to do his job? That's being strung along? In the immortal words of Sgt. Hulka, "Lighten up, Francis". Good for Nill. He's ready to move on to the next step of his career & run his own team and good for the Wings to recognize it's time too, just like they did with Stevie.

No Lidstrom, no Stuart, tons of injuries, a year in transition---no problem! What a job by the team and the coaching staff.

That was awesome game,Had a great time and got high fives from wings fans after the game,because I had my brothers osgood jersey on

This was the biggest game of the year, and Zetterberg led the way! Let's hear it for the Captain!!

If anyone took what Ken Holland said seriously about retiring when Lidstrom did, you have some serious issues. Best of luck to Jim Nill.

I don't always make the playoffs... NM.

SOUTH DETROIT! Oh this is Dallas? Sorry it looks like a home game

That's cause droids don't rip your arms out of their sockets when they lose. Zetterbacas are known to do that.

Why is Dreger making all these tweets right before the biggest game of the season? I don't give a f*** what Jim Nill is doing until this damn game is over! Go home, Dreger! You're drunk!

We won't tell your Nashville brethren. Thanks for reppin'. FSD post game is all about the matchup between the Wings and Ducks. Pavel said in his post-game interview that the biggest incentive they've had the last couple of weeks has been the fans. Hank responding to the usual questions with answers straight out of the press handbook.

I tried to embed the video but failed . But for sure they'll be showing this video on the jumbotron at the Joe.

Words cannot describe how thrilled I am this will be the last year our playoff games start at 10:30 before we make it to the Finals.

Good on NBC commentators giving the Wings some great respect.

I think most of us are cheering for cbj to get in over Minnesota

Ya know...the Arbys here in Maryland actually honored the curly fries deal.

Well then, burn him. BURN HIM!

Benn is like that pesky little brother that is annoying as hell.

Can we go back to the way it was in the 1st? K thx.

No call on the Franzen mauling, and they call that? Is Benn the new Setoguchi?

Sign of a good club. Everyone else hiring our guys.

Good rule of thumb is always take an octopus everywhere. Better to have one and not need it than find yourself thinking, "Damn, I wish I had that octopus".
