Post will be updated later in the day. LGRW! UPDATE: Today's HYPE! jam: LGRW!!!

We have good supporting cast, and I think when you look at the Wings' complementary players we can stack up well against other teams, but it's the fact we don't have a Stamkos or Crosby that makes our forward group as a whole inferior to many other squads.

PLEASE NOTE: OP has been updated with vital information. Yours, Concierge

Common Knowledge. Women love violence and booze. Pretty much all my wife does is drink jack and hit me these days.

Just as a discussion: I'm not sure if it's just myself, but with all the talk about doom and gloom for this team, when I actually look at our forward group I'm a little impressed and I think it might be one of the better groups overall. Obviously we don't have a lot of major star power anymore - we don't have a Crosby, Stamkos, etc or the young stars like the Leafs do but I'd put our forward group up against a lot of teams. Zetterberg, at least as of last season has shown he can still produce, especially if Nyquist and Tatar have better years and I love our second line right now. We also have a ton of depth on the 3rd line. While I've always thought Helm and Abdelkader were way overused when in the top 6 they fit great on the third line and I feel like it has to be one of the better third lines in the league. And then our fourth line are some good grinders/defensive players that we can count on to do 4th liney things. It's too bad we have such a poor defense right now. Green has gotten to be one of my favorite players on the team but I don't think he's a #1 by any means, and then rest of our defense are 3/4 and 5/6 type guys. Again this is mostly for discussion and obviously things on paper always look better than they are, but is our forward group a little underrated?

No.

Wonder which Dingus will score tonight.

We better get a win tonight, especially since me and about 15 others will be decked out in Wings gear. Section122, we'll be the roudy ones 3-1 Wings (Jensen, Larkin, Daley)

Where did you hear this? I was under the impression that Howard would start tonight and Mrazek would get one of the back-to-back starts this week (Thursday in Arizona or Friday in Vegas). Howard has been unreal, but I'm hoping Mrazek can rise out of the ashes and resemble the Mrazek we seen when he took over 2 years ago...

Let's Go Red Wings!!!

Everybody knows women love hockey fights. Everyone also knows that when women attend events with their friends, they drink lots of alcohol. That in turn makes more profit for the team. Seems like a simple concept. That's why there's no NHL team in Seattle. Don't need more of that at the games.

There were lots of women there on opening night. They were dressed in skinny jeans, sporting man buns and long hipster beards, and wearing sweaters with the names of modern warriors like Nyquist and Tatar. I'm pretty sure that the PC term for these ladies nowadays, is, Metrosexual.

1. Fist goes into face 2. Panties go to floor 3. Males drink in celebration 4. Profit

Oh come on. He hits people and drops the gloves. God forbid the team should try to draw women to games and boost alcohol sales in the process. Also, he's Polish. There's lots of them in Detroit. Nothing wrong with that large segment of Detroit's population being more interested in this fading team.

Witkowski blows and should not be anywhere near an NHL roster. Booth / Sheahan / Glendening >>> Witkowski

Yeah, pretty much this. The lack of a young elite center is what I believe is this forward groups biggest weakness. The depth is there, but the star power is lacking. If by December Athanasiou is signed and Svechnikov gets called up (doubt it), we could have one of the deepest forward groups in the league, assuming everyone else is healthy... Nyquist - Zetterberg - Mantha Tatar - Larkin - Svechnikov Athanasiou - Nielsen - Frk Abdelkader - Helm - Booth / Sheahan / Glendening The defense is a sad state right now, but I don't think it has to be as bad as it is right now either. If Ericsson were scratched in favor of Hicketts or Sproul, it would drastically improve the defense in my opinion.

No.

f*** you? No f*** me!

Good call, I literally went to r/copypasta and copy pasted the first rick and morty entry lol f*** that show

Pickle Riiiiiick!!! now, can you post something that isn't straight out of reddit?

Make that 7 points (3 goals, 4 assists) in 5 games. They played Saturday night and he scored another goal and assist in that game.

Cholo has 5 pts (2G, 3A) in 4 GP in the WHL so far....

Congradulations gentleman we have our very own Evander Kane. At some point you have to say his talent just isnt worth it. Remember Avery? Suberb aggitator and forechecker, but the personality didnt jive. Dropped. This kid is NOT a bonafide star. Cut ties with the cancer ASAP. Theres a Frk or Rassmussen out there willing to put in the time. Its the logo on the front, not the name plate on the back.

Send AA to Vegas along with Ericsson and Neilsen. Clears about $10 million in cap space. Offer Tavares a max contract, resign Mantha, Larkin, Frk and Mrazek in offseason. Draft Svech. Cup in 3 years.
