I’m a to the the Joe right now, that was crazy! Did you guys see mantha and harmonic going at it UFC style lol?

Best game of the season.

Yup, first eight-goal game for the Wings since that Vancouver game in 2013. I remember that one well. GAME OVER. Wings win 8-2. What. a. game.

Is that better? Mantha again!

What a fun game to watch

Abby TOTALLY redeems himself for the penalty!

An embarrassment of riches of first period goals: Athanasiou Nyquist Mantha Larkin

I'm not much of a DBZ fan, but like the rest of the internet, I always appreciated the "Over 9000" meme. Here is somebody's take on that:

Dragon Ball never disappoints. Source of happiness for an entire generation of kids. Looks like the Saiyans showed up tonight. Always come thru in the clutch to save the day don't they.

I just got home from work and see the usual crap out of this team. Only 4 goals in the 1st? Get it together, jeez.

This effing veteran PP unit. They are bad and they should feel bad.

the goose got loose, I repeat, the goose got loose!

I could see how if you were just looking at numbers you might think that, but I couldn't disagree more. The average and top end talent is better and much less one dimensional. Everyone on the ice plays defence. The disparity between the players is less so statistically you don't see anyone run away from the pack very often.

Zetterberg's such a sneak he grabbed someone jerseys and threw him down lmfao. Mantha got wailed at and wailed away at someone in bench Howard not giving f***s and in it too. Taking his gloves off lmfao.

Lol omg there was a "BRAWL". AHAHA THIS IS SO DRAGON BALL Z

Mr Satan!!!! Knocked em down.

Witkowski the pitbull, look at him go. Beat the whole team!

Lol I love when Howard defends his honor.

AA!!!! Wings up 1-0

wasn't much of a fight, though...

Abdelkader and Booth in Frk and Helm out. Lol at Trunks always telling daddy to control it. Can't stop the flash bruh.

Overall talent is not not down, the average athlete in 2017 is stronger, faster, bigger etc. compared to the average athletes of previous generations. Go watch a game from the early 90's, its a lot slower then the game now a days. The big difference is parity, you have a system set up now where it is very hard to have many elite players on one team, and you dont have many teams that are awful. This in addition to larger goalie equipment, more of an emphasis on D, and many other factors are the reason why guys are not scoring like that anymore. Just one example, look at Mark Messier. As a kid, I can remember him always scoring that wrist shot while coming down the right side (at least that's what I remember). I feel that now a days that shot would never go in.

I haven't heard that one before. Blame the lawyers.
