Wings to the PP!

Great loss. Zetterberg gets a sweet assist and is now 4 points away from 900 points, Tatar scoring some more goals for his confidence sake and will likely demand a lot of money so will be signed and traded for Trouba, but at the end of the day we still lost the game and are one step closer to a higher draft pick. The sooner we can get Vilardi or Patrick the sooner we will be to the Stanley Cup. Every cloud has a silver lining.

I agree! I won't miss a minute until the very last second of the last game.

Thanks, but I was a fan all the way back in the "Dead Wings" era. It'll take a lot more than a season like this to keep me away!

Sorry I'm late, but playing hockey will always take priority over watching hockey for me. Wow! 8 minutes left and still on page one of the GDT! Hey look, they put the Hockeytown logo back at center ice. I had no idea they could change it that quickly.

Woooh! 21 for #21. A few weeks ago, I wasn't sure if we'd have any 20 goal scorers.

Pretty sure Pierre McGuire has said Eichel's name 50 times already.

Oh, I love this GDT Poster Boy. Miller is my silver haired warrior... I will hear NO bad things said about him. Ya'll can say them: I simply won't listen. LGRW! Skin them Sabres!!!

Paddy with a Hatty?

who are these guys? amirite?

OMG WE SCORED?????? AND FIRST?????? NO WAY!!! Wait a minute and we have 3 shots on goal and they have 0 after a little over 2 mins? Am I living in another dimension????

Sure. Not trying to put words in anyone's mouth. Just sayin'. I'd say this season's team was a playoff team, at least on paper. But I'm hoping the goal, from here on out, is to actually build and maintain a perennial Cup contender. Nah mean?

Debbie Downer time! So: If we get a new coach...and we get a #1 defenseman (who would cost at least one of Larkin, Mantha, Athanasiou, Tatar)...and the team plays much better than it did this season...then we should be a playoff team. While I don't disagree with that, it does kind of speak to how far we are from Perennial Powerhouse status. Like, Zetterberg is far and away our best player right now...and he's at the tail end of his career. Mantha has impressed this year, but I do think Zetterberg is largely responsible for that. (Same with Larkin last season.) Howard has been much better than Mrazek. Green is our best defenseman. We're mostly being led by guys in their 30s. This is not promising. I think Larkin, Mantha, Athanasiou, and Svechnikov all have great potential, but I'm not convinced they're going to be enough. IMO, even if we were to land Nolan Patrick and acquire Justin Faulk for a dollar, I'd still say the Wings have a long way to go. I think we're going to have to suck for two or three years, cash in some lottery picks, hope we're gifted two or three truly elite players. Because we need elite talent in the worst way. The only player on the current roster who's playing at an elite level is Zetterberg. I hope I'm wrong and that a couple of upgrades can get us right back to playing for the Cup. But, at this point in time, I'm not seeing it.

I think many have lost interest at this point in the season. Nice to see you Y19!

12-5 shots... talk about deceiving. Wings were the better team by far that period.

I think they should bring up all the Griffins!!

Dude, I was 24 when that thread was started. Don't even go there. 24 years old, still in school (girls in their early 20's all around), with my whole future in front of me. Rooting for a hockey team that made runs in the postseason. Those were the days.

10 years later....

It really should be Little Caesars Coliseum. That would take a dumb name and make it epic. Coliseum for a hockey building. NUFF SAID!

You should use that drone to spraypaint a Red Wings logo over the Little Caesars logo once the arena is finished
