@Jonas Mahonas So if Chicago signs Miller, does this mean Bowman is an idiot that needs to be fired?

Defense is good. Defense at the cost of having little offensive attack is bad. I prefer the best defense is a good offense approach. Blashill seems to prefer sitting in a shell all game getting out shot, as long as most of those shots aren't "prime" chances. That's a loser mentality. Let's try to not lose and hope the other team makes some mistakes that we can capitalize on, as opposed to let's force them to make mistakes through pressure.

This is the best.. Mainly because I am a video game nerd and I completely understand the Dark Souls reference, it's great and spot on haha. Now whenever I play Dark Souls I'll really know it's really base on Red Wings.

LOL Perfect!

I just wanted you to confirm it before someone says "kr doesn't believe that the Wings have been drilling defense defense defense into their players." ...and for the record, I agree. There needs to be a balance. While we shouldn't let anyone slack off on defense to the level of some the aforementioned players/superstars... this notion that every forward also has to be some sort of defensive machine atop of being an offensive stalwart is stifling our ability to score goals. Hell, some of our forwards are better defensively than some of our defensemen... and that's a big problem.

Off mlive.com this morning the odds of the cup being raised by a team. We are deeeead last with the other bottom feeders. Think at 100 to 1 50 bucks down would be worth the payoff...LOL http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2017/09/red_wings_tied_for_worst_stanl.html browser double hit can a mod delete 1 of the 2 I accidentally posted

Pretty good video, sparked some emotions, mostly laughs enjoy

To be fair, that's every politician and every hockey coach.

I watched most of the game last night. I really liked how quick the forwards were at getting in on the forecheck. They caused a lot of turnovers and capitalized on them as well. Sure there were some odd man rushes the other way but this young defense is very mobile and good with their sticks. They broke up a lot of the threatening odd man rushes with out much of an issue. Honestly this is probably more of a coaching thing and knowing how to utilize the players you have. The defensive shell the wings play is garbage, boring, loser mentality hockey. I think Dickie mentioned this in the AA thread. This team with its speed and skill should be pushing the pace offensively not sitting in a shell and trying to block shots all game.

Being able to play at least decent defense is what separates someone on the third line from the top 6. If you're playing against the other team's best talent, you don't get to pass on defending.

Sir, "good boy points" your mommy gives you for picking up your basement bedroom are not "investments" or actually even real money. Let us know what you cash all those GBPs in for though. I suggest a big plate of chicken tendies. Tyson brand. Yummy yummy

Holy s***, where you been bud. Missed you so much! *fartnoise*

If he makes the team he'd be a SilverHawk

Most likely. This franchise was legitimately on top for about 20 years which in completely unheard of. Since things started to go downhill, have some questionable/bad moves been made? 100%, there is no denying that. But no management team in sports can keep a team on top forever given the cyclical nature of sports. Had Yzerman taken over and this team went downhill, fans would be screaming at the captain, and wanting Holland back. Whoever was steering the ship during the decline was going to get s*** on. As far as this video goes, I'm not going to say that there are zero relevant points, but you guys can't be serious when you say its well done. For me, his tone is way too over the top.
