Whoa whoa, check yourself friend. Yzerman is not a whiny turd because he wantedto manage a team that wasn't the Red Wings. By that standard all of Holland's and Babcock's proteges for the last several years have been whiny turds. Are you saying the RedWings have been run by whiny turds??? Yzerman was sent off with best wishes. Holland wasn't stepping aside so he, like Nill, had to go somewhere else for their career to continue to progress. I hope Steve has an illustrious GM career, whether if it's for us or not. He was raised by us and trained by us and thus I hope he continues to reflect that high standard when he's apart from us. He is the opponent now, I understand, and I want nothing more to trounce his team. But that doesn't mean I don't respect the man or his team.

Ding! Ding! Round 1!!

Why can't it be Thursday? I want to start loosing money like a drunk at a blackjack table!

You can't win a playoff series in 2 games doofus Tampa in 8

Honestly if I can say this. These might be my fav posts of the years I've been on this great great forum. Ozzy very very really really likes. Thank everyone

BAN HIM *weeps softly in the corner*

I joined. I'm pleased to inform everyone that the Wings beat the Blues in the Stanley Cup finals.

Wings in 3

Had a foot-in-mouth moment today. I was talking to one of the reps that comes into the store. He's also an off-ice official for the Force. Mike Babcock (the younger) plays for the Force, and the rep is always telling me what a great kid he is. The rep asked if the Wings had made the playoffs. We started talking about all the match-ups. After a pause, he commented that he had thought it was odd that Babcock's dad didn't come to the last game. I was still thinking NHL and said, "Oh, didn't you hear? He passed away." The rep had a look of shock on his face. Then I realized that he was talking about the younger Babcock's dad (our coach) not being at the last Force game. We got it straightened out, but it was an awkward moment.

Wings go to eleven. I hate warm beer.

But does mcgrattan have a s***ty dagger tattoo across his chest?! Point, lesnar.

Is this the one you are looking for?:

I have absolutely no problem with any of it. Restricting ticket sales to local area is nothing new and it makes total sense. If you can sell all your tickets to locals, more power to you, why would you want it open to anyone. In terms of the logo issue, it's not like they are banning other logos from the building, only an exclusive club within the building....again, that just makes sense and if you don't like it, it really is the proprietor's decision, there would be no grounds to call discrimination, etc. In fact, I'm pretty sure a corner store owner can choose not to sell to someone for any reason they want (not that this is the same scenario)

That's laying it on a bit thick. He really didn't have that bad of a year. And showing his stats shows very little. 4 goals was 3rd for our Defence behind Kronwall and Kindl. As for his +/- (-2) : half our team ended up as minus players and 9 players had larger minuses. Yes, he made a really stupid mistake and hasn't been great, but people are just piling on now. If the thread keeps going he'll end up at Lebda levels of distain.

Doubt it. Holland is quiet fond of the younger players. He had a lot of good stuff to say about Marchenko on his own accord at the FSN interview few months ago. Babs is also fond of Marchenko (hence he's starting game 1) So they both meet eye to eye on that. Babs has said it time and again that him and Holland have a very good relationship. Before the trade deadline he said that he gave Holland a list of what he needs and Holland followed up with 2 veterans. Holland basically gave what Babs had been wanting. A right handed shot and a big body (Zids and Cole). If they disliked each other you wouldnt hear them agreeing on basically everything and you wouldn't have seen a right handed shot on our roster after trade deadline (a damn good one for cheap too). I'm pretty sure both Babs and Holland agree on one thing. We need a goalie that can win it for us. Whatever it takes. As of now, seems like coaches believe Mrazek is the guy. Holland just wants results.

After getting our asses handed to us in Chicago in the playoffs when they started pushing us around and we just sat their like a bunch of pansies I'm not sure how anyone can say we don't' need some toughness on the team.

I can't even remember seeing many big hits this year. For or against the Wings. I can literally recall maybe only two or three for the Wings this whole season. Granted I know the Wings aren't the team to watch for hits but still.

Not to dump cold water on this, but they missed an opportunity to name it Ice Bracket Challenge.

In October if someone told us we'd finish 3rd in the division (assuming we hold on tonight), we'd all be thrilled! We moved up a couple spots compared to last season. I think the Wings accomplished their goals for the year. Let's see what happens in the playoffs!

Why do so many people act as if we get bounced from the first round every year? Since 2007 we have only lost in the first round 2 times, its by no means the usual. Ottawa scares me, they seem like a team that cant lose. I have to wait and see who they play, but I think are going to upset one of those 3 teams. The team was great in the late 90's and early 2000's, I miss that as well. But they also spent way more then mostly everyone else, its now an even playing field (or at least to a closer degree).
