S'matter Yzerman, afraid of the jersey you wore for so long?
MidMichSteve and 5 others reacted to number9 for a post in a topic
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. -

I remember when Ozzy was never good enough, Hasek was a has-been, Yzerman was washed up with a bad knee, Fedorov was a money grubbing prima donna, Chelios was too old, same for Fetisov, Larionov was too frail and fragile, Shanahan was getting too soft, these new kids Zetterberg and Datsyuk weren't ever going to fill the shoes of the heroes before them. Man...those were the days. -

No Scoring and No Fighting
Internet.Unknown reacted to GMRwings1983 for a post in a topic
No this thread is not about the Wings. So the league leader in points this year was Jamie Benn, with a whopping 87 points. Ovechkin led the league in goals with 53. Only two other players even hit 40 goals! Only 15 players hit 30 goals. I know this is the era of butterfly, oversized pad goaltending, but this can't be what Bettman and company want to see. You'd think all the top players in the league spent the season overseas when you look at these stats atop the leaderboards. Oh and only 16 players hit 100+ PIM, with only 4 of those players hitting 150+ PIM. I can't imagine that happening any other time in a full season in the modern era. To sum up, this "new NHL" has no scoring and no fighting. I guess if you're a fan of big goalies swallowing up pucks, you'll love today's game. Oh I almost forgot. There's parity, so that makes everything more fun to watch, despite the fact that nobody scores, hits or fights. Parity is what really counts here folks. -

I felt like this thread needed to happen - I usually don't do this, but seriously guys... Almost every post I have read (from our fans) has the Red Wings out in 4-6 games. It's not going to be an easy series, but what am I reading? Our biggest disadvantage is in net... and the other team has Ben Bishop starting who has NEVER played in a playoff game? Since 2008 this guy was a backup goalie before starting his first season last year, since then he's had 2 good seasons, or 1 fewer than Jimmy Howard has had and Jimmy's best seasons were a lot better than Ben's. But who cares because..that's right! Petr Mrazek is starting in net for us - now were doomed! Wait a minute, lets check his resume... 2012 - IIHF WJHC - Bronze Medalist - Named Best Goalkeeper in the tournament. 2013 - AHL - All Star, Calder Cup Champion. 2014 - AHL - All Star, 2nd in GAA, 3rd in SV% - Played his first games in the NHL. 2015 - Named playoff starter for the Detroit Red Wings See a trend starting here... Next, Well if the goaltending isn't as lopsided as advertised, were still doomed because in 2014-2015 the Tampa Bay Lightning averaged the 2nd highest 5 on 5 goal differential and Shots For/Against (for you analytic fans), and because playoff hockey is played much more at even strength, we have to be in big trouble! Like I said, it wont be easy, but playoff hockey is much different as we have seen our own teams built exactly like this lose to LA, Anaheim, Edmonton, and Calgary in early rounds as prohibitive favourites. People lose sight of the fact that we have 2 of the worlds best defensive (and offensive) forwards playing against them... As long as we win those matchups, we can win the 5 on 5 puck possession game as well. Obviously, this mean special teams are imperative - but didn't our PP finish 2nd in % and 1st in goals scored this season? Finally, no explanation required. KRONWALL - ERICSSON DEKEYSER - MARCHENKO QUINCEY - ZIDLICKY HEDMAN - STRALMAN CARLE - COBURN (injured) SUSTR (inured) - NESTEROV Lets go boys. -

Jimmy Howard look at it this way. As the old saying goes. What have you done for me lately? Ya, your a good goalie. Prove it in the playoffs when it's your turn. -

T-Ruff reacted to 8 Legged RedWing for a post in a topic
I'm all for them restricting ticket sales. Any good organization would do this to try and create more of a home environment and I don't blame them. If the shoe was on the other foot, and say the Wings were playing Toronto after a few down years and the popularity wasn't what it is today, we'd want to restrict sales to Ontario residents. What bothers me is the banning of opposing logos and colors from areas. If you paid to get in, you shouldn't be treated any different as a guest because of what you're wearing. You're already in the building... None of this is going to stop Wings fans from going anyways because of so many secondhand ticket sites. It's just giving us something to talk about. -
