Red Wings Hockey's finally back with the First game at Little Caesars Arena GDT to be updated.

First GDT of the season! F***ing pumped for tonight! GO WINGS!

To add: There was a software update last week that I performed and it seemed like the spammers showed up following that. Another update was released today which I just finished installing -- hopefully that takes care of it. If not, we'll be vigilant.

So obviously, we need to throw double the octopi!

Complete construction aerial time lapse. Also my final video for this project.

Ehlers, Laine, Trouba, Scheifele, Morrissey...the Jets have an enviable young core. Little, Wheeler, Byfuglien...the Jets have a few very good veterans. Steve Mason is a decent starting goalie, so I don't think "Yeah, well, our goaltending sucks, so what can you do *shrug*" is going to fly anymore. If the Jets don't take a step forward this season, their fans should rage at the front office. At the very least, they could give us Trouba. It's not like they're putting him to good use.

Red Wings-Golden Knights SCF. Book it, nerds.

Spammers really are pieces of ****. Yeah. I can prove it mathematically. Actually, let me grab my white board. This has been a long time coming.

We on staff, unless we access this site 24/7 for the next few days, or weeks, don't know when these spammers strike unless you report it as soon as you see it, and it sends us an e-mail which myself, and other mods likely will receive immediately on our phones. It speeds up the process when we receive a report, and we can get rid of this annoyance faster. Please LGW, as tedious as it may be, report these spammers so we can clean this garbage off of our forums until we find a more permanent resolution to this issue. We will snuff it out as we have done previously, easier and faster with your support. Thanks in advance for all of your help and patience during this recent raid of spammers on our site.

I thinmk the way that he was used destroyed his confidence. But we'll never know for sure

I don’t watch Eichel very closely but he basically got paid on draft hype. And all the media reports is how he took less for the benefit of the team. He’s nowhere near a top 10 player in the league but is paid like it for the next 8 years Late bloomers and unexpected stars on nice contracts is what gives you that edge when building a team

Same lines they've been practicing with... Tatar - Zetterberg - Nyquist Mantha - Larkin - Frk Abdelkader - Nielsen - Helm Booth - Sheahan - Glendening Kronwall out. Ouellet in. DeKeyser - Daley Ouellet - Green Ericsson - Jensen Howard starting. Looking for win #200!

Would like to see the FML line click early. Go Wings!

This is what happens when the Wings suck. EVERYONE TURNS ON EACH OTHER.

It's Frk's birthday today.

Here's to the start of another DRW season. Gonna be a different one but still got some hopes for good things. Just glad hockey is back. Let's go Wings!

while you two waste your lives arguing semantics to impress others on the internet, i was out in the REAL WORLD stocking investments and stimulating my bank accounts economy. Do you even know what a 400K is? Put down your keyboards, realize you are a peasant, and start generating real USDA money like me. Your internet "friends" are in the end meaningless. If you continue like this your bloodline will become weak, and your savings account will not survive the winter.

Ottawa took them to double OT of Game 7 in the ECF . I was cheering for Ottawa there whole playoff run but they had no business being a cup finalist. Honestly, the East is a crap shoot come playoff time. I know it’s a red wings cliche but any team can catch a wave and take some far more talented teams out As for Winnipeg I think it’s crazy they can’t be a consistent playoff team with there roster. I know the goaltending sucks but still I think Rangers will surprise people this year and be a top team. Turning this into a predictions thread

I see you like to live dangerously...

Cause he hits people in the face

Really? Your argument is, "Other people believe it too!"? And no, it's not a matter of me "not believing in that sort of thing", but rather the mountain of evidence to the contrary that makes me think you're wrong. By objective analysis, we have been above average in our drafting success...even through more recent years where we have not had any lucky home run picks to bolster the numbers. Our team consists mostly of players we have drafted and developed, and despite a few notable holes and popular opinion, many of them are pretty good. I can't reconcile that success with the notion that we are so bad at development that you feel it's appropriate to make sarcastic "imagine that" comments. You might then say that we aren't bad at it, and it's just a few individual exceptions. But then I would have to question the extraordinary coincidence of this supposed mismanagement only afflicting a few prospects that you happened to be notably excited about. I also can't agree with what few specifics you have given regarding how and why these players were mishandled. Sproul was bad in pretty much every way you can measure last year. His usage rather perfectly reflected the level of his play. Jurco was worse than every player used above him. Smith never demonstrated any notable scoring ability. There was never anything more than your belief in their potential to justify a different usage. And this myth that the Wings prefer defense, and that "offensive" players are suppressed based on defensive deficiencies doesn't jive with the usage and success of Nyquist, Tatar, Mantha, Larkin, AA, and Vanek (among others in the past), nor with the fact that the offense of these players thus far is really nothing more than, again, your belief in their potential. Nor does the alleged bias against offensive defensemen fit with all the offensive defensemen we've drafted, or the Green signing. And now we have some evidence from different organizations, where Smith and Jurco were used basically the same way, with the same results, Jurco has apparently washed out and cleared waivers, Sproul clears waivers...that does undeniably suggest that at least some actual professionals around the league beyond just the Wings have drawn the same conclusions. So given all the logical incongruity I would have to accept in order to believe your theory, I find it infinitely more plausible that you just made some inaccurate predictions, and these players are just a few more among the dozens upon dozens of prospects each year that fail to meet their more optimistic expectations. But hey, at least you can still say it's all just your opinion, and I can't actually prove you're wrong.

that's waicist d-don't cover you-*burp*-ur ding dong MooOorty

Here is the real question: who cares?
