My face whenever I see that clip

I really liked that we didn't fizzle out after the Canucks tied it. We didn't sit back -- we pushed back. That's good stuff. Didn't see much of that sticktoitiveness last season. These past two games have been pleasant surprises for me. To my eye, everyone and everything looks better. Even Kronwall. It's a far cry from perfection, but it's closer to our full potential, I feel. Props to the players and to Blashill. There've obviously been some discussions and adjustments. Having said all of that...we're exactly where we were at this time last season, in terms of points and the standings: http://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2017/11/07/road-tested-red-wings-feeling-bullish-after-two-wins-out-west/107435274/ When you look at the Red Wings’ record, it was the exact same (8-7-1, 17 points) through 16 games it was last year, with the same number of regulation wins (six), same spot in the standings (just out of the wild card) and the goal differential was plus-2 this season compared to negative-2 last season. In that sense, it's looking like this is more or less the same team as last year's team and we're probably going to have more or less the same end result. Which is a little depressing, though not surprising. But, having said that...this team is deeper than last year's team, Zetterberg isn't being forced to carry the team on his back, and we're generally playing better hockey. Larkin has taken a huge step forward.

Good read. Thanks for the post. Looks like mantha is coming into his own

Championship rings arrived today

Whatever you say Kakarot.

I like fighting

I call bulls*** and screw the PC movement.

Fighting plays a very minor role in head injuries. The issue was always elbowing, shoulder to head hits and glove to head hits. That's why the department of player safety address those issues. Someone needs to do a follow-up study on the results of those changes if they haven't already. Maybe I will one day actually. https://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/20/sports/hockey/citing-costs-nhl-injury-study-urges-more-safety.html https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23637116

Basically made the thread for those of us who enjoy hockey fights. Most people don’t care for hockey fights anymore but I figured when I watch them it be fun to talk about them here Milan Lucic and Dalton Prout just had the fourth rematch recently I’ll post the video soon

I love hockey fights. Some are better than others but who cares

Abdelkader now has 9 points (2 goals, 7 assists) in 16 games. Keep it going Abby!

On pace for 38 goals and 71 points. 10/10. Would draft again.

No you dumby, you sign the deer. They obviously have good chemistry.
