This tanking and not tanking is making me dizzy lol

Dammitol.

So I want to know how the DJ and organ player coordinate who's going to do their thing when. Do they text, "tag. your it" or maybe "Ok it's your turn".

Game over. Wings lose 2-3. The tank is back on! The game in a nut shell.

Shut up Smith-Smelly

I am proud that they have held their own with the Cup champs, and this was not a ridiculous blowout like their last meeting with the Caps. I take what I can get here, and make lemonade (with vodka).

we are not that lucky... but why not?

hockey more importante!!!

I was hoping for a Baby Bert blast... but anyone who volunteers will do!

Huge kill. Cholowski heroics?

DLR is back on the ice. Good to see.

Puck-smacked. Like gob-smacked, but it hurts a lot more....

3rd period is on! LET'S GOOOOOOOOO You lucky sonsabitch. DLR hurt blocking Ovie bomb. Headed down the tunnel, not under his own power.

The bad news: 2 fans right behind us got chosen to be upgraded to lower bowl. The good news: I got to be within inches of Carly Johnston

sorry not sorry

I've mostly lost interest in Hamilton, but if we could get him at a decent price and then maybe sign Tyler Myers to a reasonable deal in July...maybe our D corps starts to look not entirely terrible on paper.

I think this is fair.....though I would just add that for me to consider someone elite, I need to see this level of play for a few seasons in a row. Many guys have been top 5 players at their position for 1 year only to drop off the next season.

Notes: Green skating, getting closer to returning to Wings [DetroitRedWings.com] GREEN HYPE! ATHANASIOU HYPE!

Yeah, Larkin clearly wasn't elite when this thread was created, but I'd consider him close now. Not quite there yet though based on *my* definition of elite (top 5ish at his position). I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility though, for him to emerge as an elite center over the next couple years, especially if / when he's given a couple capable (maybe even elite themselves) wingers. I thought Larkin could become a 70+ point, responsible, two-way center, and it looks like that's around where he'll end up this season, at the tender age of 22. I didn't think he'd ever become a 90+ point center, which is what I'd consider him in the conversation of elite. But after seeing what he's capable of with wingers like Helm / Abdelkader and Mantha / Nyquist, I think he could definitely get there with a Hughes / Kakko / Cozens and Zadina / Mantha on his wings...

A lot can change in the next 6 months, but it's still Cozens for me right now.

Datsyuk would still be better than Glendening, Frk, Helm, Witkowski, Ehn, and de la Rose. If he's cheap, I would prefer over any of those guys in a bottom 6 role.

He is not going to play for any other team. If he comes back, it will be for Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings. But, does he have any NHL gas left?

Hmmmm...... Back to Detroit July 1, followed by Karlsson and Bobvrosky.

Me? I've been at work and then doing the dishes....

Caps tie it. PK. Obligatory dumb Kronwall penalty.
