I'll tell ya what. It's only been a few minutes, and we're playing the Sabres...but "I like our team."

Edzo must have a Sasha Grey video cued up for commercial breaks if he's using phrases like "gaping hole."

Also chaulk up another rookie who buries his 1st career goal against us, seems like it happens 3-4 times a year

Because we Turned Up the Awesome, apparently...

If by appetite you mean liquid appetite and if by Humpty's you mean my house, then YES.

Our D is hard as f***. #hockeyporn But seriously. PK is the boobs tonight fersure.

so far weiss is more entertaining to watch than filppula

I feel like Datsyuk and Zetterberg are carrying some retarded kid around on their line. Abby works hard, but his numbers last year on the top line weren't very good. Cleary.

I think this needs to be our unofficial slogan this year. Detroit Red Wings 2013/2014: We Turn Up the Awesome

Nice period. Just keep it up for 2 more periods ... then 81 more games ... then 16 more wins ... LGW!

Like I said, I'm not sure exactly how I feel about fighting being taken out of the game, but the more it gets talked about the more I see there's not a lot of strong arguments to support it. And I'm kind of hoping someone will make one. Because overall I like fighting in hockey. But think of the guys you just mentioned. Cooke and Torres have a long history of cheapshotting players. All while fighting is still a part of the game. It's apparently not an effective enough deterrent for either one of them to stop cheapshotting. What finally got to Cooke's attention was a 17 game suspension from the league. The league's suspensions clearly haven't gotten Torres' attention yet, but neither has any enforcer.

Great attitude. Red Wing class personified. Meanwhile, somewhere, Sammy's getting a boob massage, eating quail eggs, and listening to Robin Thicke.

Bob Duff on Twitter just made me actually LOL: Bob Duff ‏@asktheduffer22m Cory Emmerton hat-trick - assist, missed penalty shot, foolish penalty. #RedWings Retweeted by George Malik Expand

Our penalty kill is our enforcer lol

Homer, is that you?

Seems like a Spinal Tap ish vid could work. These Wings Go To 11....

Babcock trolling the entire Wings fanbase.

Alfredsson with six attempted shots so far. Certainly doesn't look like a guy at the very end of his career.

Stephen Aweissome.

Wow, Pavel scored. After Samuelsson scored I thought for sure it was Lebda's turn.

We have double drinking games tonight! Aw, I miss the Zetterbeard.

the rest should wear "B" then.

Cherry has seen and probably played more hockey than 90 % of this planet he knows what he is talking about and I am glad there are people like him, who don't tolerate the watering down of this great game.

In the Dreger article, it looks like Scotty Bowman is all onboard the no-fight train: The "Poll All Players" part caught my eye because as it says in the article, 98% of players polled in 2011-12 do NOT want fighting removed. Some might say don't let the inmates run the asylum, but when all but 2% of the NHL players want fighting left in the game, I think the players know how to handle the on-ice game. Let them play.

School tomorrow and 3 am puck drop here in Finland, but hey it's the season opener can't miss that! Sooo pumped, Go Wings!
