Nosek has more goals this season than Sheahan

You could see after AA scored that goal last night that he was sore. He was wincing. Hope he's back for Saturday cause I wanna see him live

Thanks for stealing my thunder , but here it is anyway. Nosek officially has one more goal than:

oh boy! here I go again nothing can stop the Red Wings!

so what are you gonna do in the offseason? Me:

You're spare parts aren't ya bud

Nosek's 1st!!

Well, our "play of the game" was the time Hank ALMOST scored. It WAS beautiful, almost Datsyukian, but he came up empty.

No... AA is probably sore from that wicked cross check to the lower back! It's a shame AA is getting a bunch of crap for "running over" a goalie when it's clear his skates were perpendicular to the goalie when he get bulldozed by a guy flying down the ice to break it up. I'm with you Leftwinger, they should be going after their own guy.

please give a warm LGW welcome to our newest members @johntucker and @gretzkyGOAT

The Detroit Red Wings crash is officially here. There’s no easy or quick fix. So, settle down and in for a rough time. For the 2017-18 season, the Wings have 17 players signed with a $67.7m cap hit against a projected $73m ceiling. And, for the 2018-19, the Wings have 10 players signed with a $51.7m cap hit against a projected $73m ceiling. Regardless if it counts against the cap number, Johan Franzen hasn’t played a truly meaningful number of games since the 2011-12 season, but still draws almost $4m a year. Meanwhile, GM Ken Holland’s albatross Stephen Weiss, who last played NHL hockey in the 2014-15 season and was bought out in 2015, will draw an average $1.6m for the next FOUR years. Yes, every team has hiccups and busts, but savvy hockey operations offset those mistakes with corrections in other areas of the ledger to prevent falling off the cliff. We hear repeatedly around the trade deadline, draft day and off season that hockey is a business. However, the DRW front office – Holland, Assist. to GM Kris Draper, Player Evaluation Jiri Fischer and Sr. V.P. Jim Devellano – is seemingly incapable of biting the bullet for fear of burning bridges or pissing someone off. As a result of the “we are family” approach, the Wings, in part, have slipped into the playoffs in recent years and today are 25-27-11 and -29. The 28th best team in the league. There would be no point or value in assessing the current roster. These are OUR Red Wings … for now. Rather, I would like to see is a fundamental shift in how hockey operations and the coaching staff assemble and build the team. Trusting fans have told to be patient as the precious assets (young guns) are slowly worked onto the big club, learning and maturing with superstars and wily veterans. It was supposed to secure a successful future. So, where is the line on the ice, where difficult hockey (business) decisions are made to determine if a manager or player is truly an asset or an albatross? This is where tough decisions need to be made for the club’s betterment. I grow weary of excuses like “salary cap,” “long-term contracts,” “a different NHL.” Blah, blah, blah. Yes, I am spoiled. I follow one of the most successful hockey teams in NHL history. There was a dogged reason/strategy/purpose on the bench, behind the bench and in the owner’s box that is now missing. I’m not asking for change for the sake of change. I’m asking for tectonic shift to reset/restore what it means to operate and represent the Detroit Red Wings.

Nosek! Congrats (hopefully)!

Z with some nice moves.

Oh Anthony. You're hot lately, but THAT was not Athanasiouian. I feel bad. I require tank GIFs please.

Welcome to the last game of the Hockeython (not to be confused with Hockeytown).

I hope they can take the boards at the JLA and put them in the new stadium. Always made games more exciting when the puck plays pinball.

Didn't feel like it justified a whole new thread... But on this day 3/27 (1973) Mickey Redmond became the first Wing ever to score 50 goals in a season. And the man is still a treasure.

Of all my good memories there, watching my son's play there is one of my greatest! Here's a photo of my son Mat, #21, waiting for the puck drop!

I wouldnt say Green hasnt worked out. He's no savior, but hes also about the only steady hand on that blue line.

you're such a like ***** i hope my post outlikes yours

Fixed dude.

I've always liked the guy too. He made some silly mistakes sometimes, but he was incredibly underrated at getting the puck from the opponent and distributing it to our boys. Sometimes its was pretty incredible what he did under pressure, to be honest.

Well most of these players we got when we were a good team and had s***tier draft picks, not really anyone's fault. Some of the others we traded away for some nice draft picks. The way I see it, we shed some bad players for sure. Need to rid some more, and go back to high standards.

Just think of how awkward it would be if you knew your team left you exposed and then you weren't claimed: It would be like returning to a marriage when your spouse tells you they don't love you, haha. It'd be even worse if everybody else knew the situation. The expansion draft shouldn't be something that causes animosity amongst other organizations. I hope even the player don't hear about the lists.

Lions had a chance to avoid this mess and play someone else (like in 2014) and couldn't get it done. Easy win for Seattle, as much as I hate them.
