    Free agents this off season

    Ideally, no or we are probably still watching the Wings play right now. That was my point -- their needs have been the same for years. Granted, top pairing d-men and big wingers don't grow on trees, but Holland needed a better contingency plan on defense than what transpired.

    ECSF : (4) Washington Capitals vs. (1) New York Rangers

    Henrik Lundqvist has to get the worst goal support of anyone in playoff history.

    Babcock granted permission to talk to other teams

    Agreed. I really do believe Blashill is the overwhelming favorite to get the job though if/when Babs leaves. There's a reason they aren't letting anyone talk to Blashill yet.

    Babcock granted permission to talk to other teams

    I think Babs is gone and truthfully, I believe it's the best for both parties to move on. Embracing the youth movement anyways. Let the guy who developed them take over.

    Jim Devellano on Mantha's play: "Very disappointing"

    Compared to massive expectations, probably. He's still only 20 years old and not any worse off than Tatar and Jurco at the same point. The way Jimmy D went about this is what bothers me more than anything. Let Blashill handle this instead of calling out one of your top prospects through the media.

    Jim Devellano on Mantha's play: "Very disappointing"

    Ken Holland said he wasn't trading for a rental at the deadline last season either. I don't take everything this organization says as gospel.

    Things you would like to see for 2015-16 Season

    Haven't read all seven pages, but games in May and June again would be real nice.

    WCSF : (6) Minnesota Wild vs. (5) Chicago Blackhawks

    I blame Nashville for being scrubs and not taking out Chicago when they had Scott frickin Darling starting in goal.

    Jim Devellano on Mantha's play: "Very disappointing"

    It isn't the organization -- it is one man with a history of making unfiltered comments. When has this ever been done previously? I can't recall anyone being put on blast publicly like Mantha.

    Jim Devellano on Mantha's play: "Very disappointing"

    What other prospect has a major figure in the Wings organization basically denounced after one season? Statistically, Mantha is basically at the same production as Tatar and Jurco in their first seasons with Grand Rapids. If Jimmy D wants to make this comment after Mantha serves his mandatory four years in the minors, then I get it a little more. I just don't understand the timing, nor need to call out a player publicly. If anyone should do that, it should be coming from Blashill.

    Free agents this off season

    The Wings need a top pairing d-man and some size/goal-scoring ability at wing. - This post brought to you by the years 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015.

    Jim Devellano on Mantha's play: "Very disappointing"

    Jimmy D says the stupidest things. Mantha is 20 years old coming off an injury in his first pro season. For a franchise that does nothing but overripe its prospects, I don't get the angle of these comments.
  13. The Wings could play Tampa for the next 10 years in the playoffs and I would still never root for them to lose to Chicago. f*** the Blackhawks, their fans and Eddie O. Anyone but them is my new team with the Wings out.

    Who is the coach next season?

    I want and think it will be Blashill. They groomed him to take over for Babs.
  15. Ideally as soon as possible.
  16. I have all summer to be mad about the outcome and flaws of the team. Right now I'm just so bummed I don't get to watch the Red Wings anymore. Still stings every year getting eliminated. Love these guys regardless. No more NHL watching for me now. Screw this garbage league. Somebody just take out the Blackhawks please.
  17. Game 4, man. This sucks. Feel like the Wings deserved better tonight, but they blew their chances previously to wrap up the series.
  18. I don't know if being down a goal and having your 4th line on the ice constantly is going to work out.
  19. Killorn held Quincey his entire pursuit of the puck. Z can't get a goal for anything.
  20. Thanks, will do. I was simply making a statement that I hope the third period doesn't play out that way. Not like that script ever occurs or anything.
  21. This better not be one of those games where the Wings outplay their opponent and lose on some fluke goal.
  22. I'm not sure Zidlicky makes the play Kindl just did.
  23. Pretty much an ideal road game played so far. Just need a goal or two to show for it.
  24. How is DeKeyser out there on the power play working any better than Smith might?

    Zidlicky Out for game 7- Concussion

    I won't miss Zidlicky. The only unfortunate part is having it coincide with Kronwall's absence for Game 7.
