Hicketts with his first NHL point

What business do they have winning? That's not helping out the future at all. Need to see a better effort next game.

Awesome, we get to hear more of the same excuses next year.

Not sure how anyone could be surprised. I would be much more surprised if they didn't come back.

Luke Gl-EN-dening! well lookie here, the prodigal son is back!

I will never complain about a win over the Penguins.

Not singling you out Martyrme19. ...but just remember this conversation when someone says, "Remember when Holland didn't trade Glendennnning for x. He sucks. He's gotta go." This is typical behavior for LGRW. Need I recall the names? Pick the least of our problems -- typically a fourth line, veteran character guy with some specific skill set -- and harp on it needlessly. Is Ken Holland out of his ******* mind if he thinks he's getting a second round pick for Glendennnning? Absolutely. Should we trade away a guy for a fifth -- a guy who's doing his job, not hurting the team in any way -- just for s***s and giggles and to make a rival better? Nope. If Hicketts is in the lineup and we get to see what he's got, I'm all for it. There's no time like the present to give these guys a shot. Certainly not gonna hurt our chances at improving that draft pick.

another good Ralphie reaction would be after he waited for the decoder ring! "Son of a *****!"

if they're back get ready for another top 5 draft pick. Blashill isn't an NHL coach.

We're tied at 1 in the 2nd. Don't let Cindy get the best of you, Wings.

Dahlin this year, Hughes next. The stars are aligning!

The Illitchs don't care about the Tigers more than the Red Wings. Have you seen that roster!? So, Blash is not a great coach. We can all see that. ...but are they really gonna fire him so they can go out and get a coach for a year and then when the new GM comes in (Yzerman? Maybe? Possibly? Anyone holdng out hope?) and decides that the coach we hired (...and probably gave a multiple year contract to...) isn't the guy who's going to take the team he's going to build to the next level, so he's gone. What's the point? Don't we all agree that a couple years of high draft picks would be a good thing for this team? Let Blash lead us there. You think Darryl Sutters gonna lead another #steathcampaign. I know the ChickenLittle's of LGRW think that we're the worst team evah. ...but we just beat the Pens 5 -2 last night. With a good coach, we'd be right back in the middling pick pack. Which is exactly where we should not be. If we're gonna rebuild -- even on the fly -- lets not pretend it's going to be only one year of mostly painful hockey, and doesn't involve some pain when it comes to coaching and management.

you knew it was coming, brother!

There it is.

No worries. Some days I'm defensive of Holland where I think that the rebuild is just a necessary evil and missing the playoffs and having bad contracts is part of the process. Which honestly, it is always eventually. Other days I'm like "WTF Holland....Trade Zetterberg! Trade Kronwall! Trade Abdelkader! - Sign Martin St. Louis out of retirement and trade him for a 2nd rd! - Sign Jagr - I don't care if it doesn't make sense!"

Foirst!

No worries. We all do it sometimes.

Y'ALL ACTIN' SURPRISED??

I'm okay with a top 5 pick again next season. Bring it on.

I'm not going to (over)react until they're extended.

Hmm maybe this was the REASON Blash was brought was to ease us down into draft pick territory setting us up for a better coach after one more spin at the wheel next year Just trying to think of a good reason whyhe remains
