Most of the comments here are embarassing. I wish a lot of people would either play hockey at a somewhat high/competitive level, or shut up a bit. What has everyone here been crying for forever? "Let the kids play" "Get rid of Franzen" "Bench Cleary" Etc, etc. Guess what? All of those are happening and still no one is happy. Hockey has ups and downs, you are not going to win every game and sometimes you're going to get smoked. It's a curve, especially with teams like Detroit who have players who are still learning what it takes. You don't figure out the NHL in a couple games, in a stretch of games or sometimes even in a season. It takes time. They're learning. You think Pittsburgh is in a different class than Detroit(someone said this)? They have more talent, arguably, but they don't have leadership, heart, compete level and usually no work ethic. Have you watched all the games PIT has collapsed in? Have you taken a look at their record against their division? I get that this is an internet forum and the point is to discuss hockey and the game at hand, but it doesn't HAVE to be a hyperbole tabloid styled bitchfest. It could be real discussion with thought, not ripping your favorite team to shreds because they didn't "punch Cindy in the face!"

Brian Williams is actually telling people he scored that goal.

Detroit Red Wings retweeted The Wheel Deal ‏@Bill_Roose 5m5 minutes ago The #RedWings are 3-1-0 in games that they trailed by two goals after one period this season. Only loss was at Boston on Dec. 29.

Let's get it on! Wings 4 Penguinos 2

When re defense plays like this we don't have a chance. Forwards have been careless but the defense is consistently getting skated into the ground with no pushback

No. What’s fun is watching you and Leftwinger dutch rudder one another over how much this team sucks. Some middle ground would be nice. You know, actual level-headed hockey discussion instead of this doom-porn. Jesus christ. Jerkwater, USA. More like Knee-jerkwater USA wha?

Oh my god people relax... We have like 2 bad games in a month... lol chill I've been waiting for the patented nightly LGW meltdown ha

Funny we only have these conversations when they’re losing.

Don't give me your fancy "facts and logic," Dabura.Unless its these kinda facts. These I want.

Well, look at their overalls on NHL 15. They should be.

I still cringe at the Lidstrom last second shot in 2009. Game on.

14-3 sounds nice.

There is literally nothing about modern music that appeals to me. 60's to 90's is where i'll remain until music becomes music again.

I'll be there in person to see this one I was there for the preseason win, hopefully I'll bring them some luck again tonight. Go Wings!

Wonder if Jimmy gets the 3rd period nod or if they let him rest one more and keep going with Mraz.

You can eyeball those too!

All of you need to calm down. We're going to be fine. It's highly unlikely that we will face a team with a winning record in the playoff. "We like our team". - Ken Holland March 2015

The Pens have been off since Saturday, same as us. I am not ok with this team standing pat at the trade deadline.

Nah man the word test makes it official. FACTS Unfortunately most of my eye-ball tests have determined I need to wear glasses while I drive

IMO, this will make the Sabres a worse team this year than before the trade... ...which is exactly what they want. They want to win the race to the bottom to better their chances at McDavid.

Welcome to Buffalo Evander, here have a new tracksuit. Jets definitely won that trade, I didn't think they would get close to that for Kane with his attitude problems.

If he did that to Lucic, this thread would be titled "Hero Roussel ejected for cross check to Lucic's throat" I think Gordie had more than two fights. It may be that only two fights are remembered or recorded somewhere. Otherwise, he had only one fight besides Fontinato. That might be right, but it doesn't sound right. I mean Lilja had way more than two fights.

As much as I've come along on the Franson thing I would not trade a first rounder for an upcoming UFA, unless it's someone of an even higher calibre and that guy is not available. Franson is from BC so I could easily see him signing with the Canucks come the off-season. A second and a B level prospect might be worth it because the benefits would be a.) ~ 2 months of exclusively negotations and b.) being able to offer him 8 instead of 7 years ( = more money). He has the size to bring back Kronwalled although it would be Franson(ed) but either way a nice addition.
