Caught myself screaming for the Blues last night. They will win the cup.

Current logo is better and has history. This looks like a MLS logo.

If you don't like Helm I dont know what to say. Sure, he shouldnt be in the top 6 but anywhere in the bottom 6 and hes one of the best in the league. Its not his fault that our coaches think he should be playing on scoring lines

Made this little number since NBC won't

Pretty much. I've lived in towns before where reporters never asked tough questions of their coaches. As a fan, I hated that. Boyle is an athlete and getting criticized for bad play is not out of line. I haven't read all the reporter wrote about him, but as long as there were no personal attacks on Boyle or his family, he's fair game.

You hit the nail on the head, they made the right move at the time. Plus it didn't matter who was the GM of this team was, this team was headed for an inevitable decline at some point. it's a part of the cyclical nature of hockey. How we escaped it for 17 years is a testament to how good of a job Holland and company did with this team. Whoever the GM was when this time came was going to get blasted by fans. Had Yzerman been appointed GM and the team declined under his watch, people would be saying "we had the best GM in hockey, and we let him go for a guy who has proven nothing as a GM, so sad"

Curses out reporters? Tirade? I think that's over exaggerating things. He's pissed and is showing some emotion, it'd be nice if someone on the Wings showed some emotion over their losses sometime and maybe there wouldn't be so many of them.

Vassili Zaitsev? I guess we do need a sniper, so why the hell not.

but they're nanny dogs whenever a dog is aggressive or ill tempered most of the times there's a human(s) who turned them like that http://thebullybreeds.com/2015/02/10/pit-bull-rescues-little-girl-attacked-labrador/ just saying...

Eh, why not? The locker room is reportedly a mess anyways. For real though, I would pass. Just give AA and Mantha the top-six time instead.

When was Jurco's chance? He played with Luke Glendening and Drew Miller on the 4th line. He may ultimately be a bust, but I'm not going to judge a skilled forward based on that usage.

Read between the lines. All he is saying is that the team can't be a dominant force like it has in the past. The best a team can hope for now is to get a young core together and be competitive for a bunch of years, then start over. He is not saying we should be okay with scraping into the playoffs every year and lose in the first round. It's gonna take a bit of time to contend again. He is trying to keep expectations in check until the team once again gets there.

Yeah looks like the mlive article he sort of clarified his stance when he said he loves the city, team, organization. Glad that clears that up. I found this quote interesting though - "Winning is a big part of it," Helm said. "I really don't mind playing on the bottom lines as long as there's that respect factor. He definitely sounds like a "jilted" lover as you say. In regards to your point on him centering. I've said it a few times this year... it was awesome when he was our 3rd line center and I have no idea why they moved away from that. He was always a pretty good faceoff guy and his speed alone was deadly for 3rd line pairings. I really hope they use him in the role moving forward.

Forgot game 7 was last night. Before I just checked who won, won, I figured Chicago did. Makes the season for me to see the Blues pulled off the win. By one goal. Was a near choke, but the f***in Hawks are GONEZO!! Yeahhhh!!

If Holland were an ancient Japanese samurai (in other words, a man with honor), he'd commit seppuku to atone for his disgrace to the Ilitch family and the fanbase. Alas, those kinds of men don't exist anymore.

Goaltending is not our ONLY issue.

This year is weaker than years previous, and next year and so on will be weaker again, that's the way the NHL is going. Teams are locking up their stars, so not near as many hit the open market, hence the importance of drafting and developing... I've stated my opinion on this so many times now, but here it is again. Like you said, we're not getting any of the top "current" defensemen, aka Doughty, Weber, Pietrangelo, etc. The key is looking for young, up and coming defenders, that you think have a chance to develop into the next wave of elite defensemen. Who that is? I'm not sure, but they're out there. I want us to go hard after Jacob Trouba, not because I think he is an elite defenseman, but because I think he has all the tools and potential to become an elite defenseman in a few years. I also think he is better than the majority of what we have on our blueline right now, and even if he doesn't hit his ceiling, he will still be a very solid second pairing defenseman. So we can go after a Keith Yandle and pay him $6+M to be our second pair defenseman, basically a left handed Mike Green, or we can package together a deal that could bring Jacob Trouba in with a floor of second pair defenseman and ceiling of elite top pair defenseman...

I don't want any more one-hit experiments.

hopefully out of our lineup

Lol, Helm's not happy with his "situation"? Apparently playing with Pavel for a good portion of the season displeases him. Screw that guy. Tell you what buddy, make good on any of the 10,000 breakaways you get and we'll talk turkey.

Bring Stevie Y back..make it happen Mr Illitch.

That goal always gives me chills. One of the greatest moments of the streak, even if they were knocked out the next round.

Not mine

I used to love the wooden stake gun, pinning enemies to the walls and whatnot. It was a fun game, I used to play it on PC a lot when it first released.

I wonder what kind of deal we could get if we ordered monocles in bulk.The whole lgw community needs one for celebrating our wins.
