Caught myself screaming for the Blues last night. They will win the cup.

Current logo is better and has history. This looks like a MLS logo.

If you don't like Helm I dont know what to say. Sure, he shouldnt be in the top 6 but anywhere in the bottom 6 and hes one of the best in the league. Its not his fault that our coaches think he should be playing on scoring lines

Made this little number since NBC won't

Regardless of team and Mgmt rationalizations for the 2015-16 season and softball assessments from Detroit's press, it's clear this club has worn the tread off the Winged Wheel. So the faithful don't hyperventilate, get a paper bag handy. The present day Wings can't score or defend. If not for the Parise-less Wild, they would have been the worst team to make the playoffs. Ah ...., let me restate that: They were the worst team to make the dance at a -13 goal differential. Now that we have the cold hard facts of the away, let's give the DRW brain trust something to think about: * No one, NO ONE, on this team should be considered untouchable. * Who really believes Petr Mrazek can be an elite goaltender, capable of putting the team on his shoulders and win a PLAYOFF game(s)? * Who really believes that there is a #1 or #2 D-man on this team? Call me old fashioned. I remember Jacques Demers and Bryan Murray to Mike Babcock and Jeff Blashill. The 25-year playoff run and four Stanley Cups were built from the Defense out. Understanding that Nicklas Lidstroms and Duncan Keiths don't grow on trees, the Wings -- with an excess of more than capable and trade friendly forwards -- need to make the strongest play for THE top defenseman in the '16 Entry Draft. What better way to pay final respects to the Joe and open a new barn than with the reassertion by the Detroit Red Wings as SERIOUS players in the chase for the Cup!

Wow! He may be completely right, and the reporter may be a complete jerk, but when you are a professional you can't speak to the media that way. Just makes you come off as immature and ridicoulas.

I have no idea what your beef is with the Blues... I'd like the Blues to win it all. Blues in 6

Vassili Zaitsev? I guess we do need a sniper, so why the hell not.

but they're nanny dogs whenever a dog is aggressive or ill tempered most of the times there's a human(s) who turned them like that http://thebullybreeds.com/2015/02/10/pit-bull-rescues-little-girl-attacked-labrador/ just saying...

Eh, why not? The locker room is reportedly a mess anyways. For real though, I would pass. Just give AA and Mantha the top-six time instead.

Read between the lines. All he is saying is that the team can't be a dominant force like it has in the past. The best a team can hope for now is to get a young core together and be competitive for a bunch of years, then start over. He is not saying we should be okay with scraping into the playoffs every year and lose in the first round. It's gonna take a bit of time to contend again. He is trying to keep expectations in check until the team once again gets there.

Helmerroids' hilarious. I see it as if BoS had a twitter account

I'm with F. Michael on this one, once the Red Wings are eliminated, I start pulling for the remaining team that has either never won or has gone the longest without winning, in this case I'm hoping for a Blues/Caps final, with the Blues winning it all since they have been around longer than the Caps by a few years. In all honesty though, I don't really care who ends up winning, as long as Chicago is out.

If Holland were an ancient Japanese samurai (in other words, a man with honor), he'd commit seppuku to atone for his disgrace to the Ilitch family and the fanbase. Alas, those kinds of men don't exist anymore.

They haven't won it all because the Gods hate them. The Stars have never won a legitimate Cup, so they have something to prove also. I suggest you change your avatar to a Scott Parker Sharks avatar and root for Joe and the boys to bring a Cup to Silicon Valley.

Put a plexiglass between him and Blashill.

Goaltending is not our ONLY issue.

This year is weaker than years previous, and next year and so on will be weaker again, that's the way the NHL is going. Teams are locking up their stars, so not near as many hit the open market, hence the importance of drafting and developing... I've stated my opinion on this so many times now, but here it is again. Like you said, we're not getting any of the top "current" defensemen, aka Doughty, Weber, Pietrangelo, etc. The key is looking for young, up and coming defenders, that you think have a chance to develop into the next wave of elite defensemen. Who that is? I'm not sure, but they're out there. I want us to go hard after Jacob Trouba, not because I think he is an elite defenseman, but because I think he has all the tools and potential to become an elite defenseman in a few years. I also think he is better than the majority of what we have on our blueline right now, and even if he doesn't hit his ceiling, he will still be a very solid second pairing defenseman. So we can go after a Keith Yandle and pay him $6+M to be our second pair defenseman, basically a left handed Mike Green, or we can package together a deal that could bring Jacob Trouba in with a floor of second pair defenseman and ceiling of elite top pair defenseman...

hopefully out of our lineup

Bring Stevie Y back..make it happen Mr Illitch.

That goal always gives me chills. One of the greatest moments of the streak, even if they were knocked out the next round.

Figured this thread needed to be updated. Here's Lori, my niece born in January. Raising her right!

Not mine

I used to love the wooden stake gun, pinning enemies to the walls and whatnot. It was a fun game, I used to play it on PC a lot when it first released.

I wonder what kind of deal we could get if we ordered monocles in bulk.The whole lgw community needs one for celebrating our wins.
