    Concerned - we might not make it in to the playoffs

    I said "seems" And how do you know the interaction between owners and GM's?

    Concerned - we might not make it in to the playoffs

    Cities that have a long history of having a team and where people actually go to games. Columbus is last in the league in attendance this year, according to espn. Dallas is not far behind. Neither of these places is deserving of having a team, imo. And not just based on this year's attendance. Everytime I watch a Stars game on TV, I see a bunch of empty grey seats. And this team is going to the playoffs? Swell. Why is Columbus' attendance so low? Their GM is willing to spend and they're making a playoff push. But no one there seems to care. I understand the league loves growing its game, but you can't teach elephants how to fly. I wish they'd contract these and several other teams from the league.

    Red Wings lack offensive creativity

    Playoffs will be harder to make next season, playing in an 8 team division. Not to mention, what makes you think Holland will do anything significant in the offseason? Certainly not recent history.

    We have "Hockeytown" written on our center ice logo, and we're being outplayed by Columbus and Dallas for the last playoff spot. Two undeserving hockey cities. Ilitch needs to put his foot down if this team misses the playoffs. He's not afraid to spend, but he seems afraid to put any pressure on Holland.

    4/13 Around the NHL GDT

    I don't want us to be the only original 6 team that doesn't make it. Especially since all 6 rarely make it in.

    4/13 Around the NHL GDT

    There are no good outcomes unless the Wings keep winning. All these teams are playing against each other and getting points against one another. Hard to root for anybody, really. And it's funny that a team like Dallas is winning games, despite selling players at the deadline and playing in a city where no one knows they have a team.

    nhl.com calls Kenny the best GM

    Datsyuk probably has like 1 or 2 in him. I don't expect Holland to do anything significant during the offseason or next year's deadline. The prices are unlikely to go down and he's still too bullheaded to get with the program.

    The Oilers aren't rebuilding, because they have nothing to rebuild from. We've had a good core the last few years, but Holland has let the pieces around it dwindle without adding anything of value. We do have some decent young players, but Datsyuk and Zetterberg are current stars, whose careers I'm afraid will wind down on an average team. Do you think when they retire, guys like Nyquist and Tatar will be stars on their level? I don't. The real rebuilding will start when Pavel and Z (or either of them) finish their careers. Then we can start to suck. Now, we can be better than this.

    4/12 GDT : Red Wings 2 at Blackhawks 3 (SO)

    We need to go on a run, like the Blues had before they lost tonight. I know it's unlikely, but that's the only way to secure a playoff spot. We can't finish .500 and hope everyone else will too. At least one of the teams below us will go on a run.

    I was hoping Hossa's career would be over after that Torres hit last season. Too bad.

    We're not making the playoffs. We have too many morons like Smith and Quincey who like to give away leads in 3rd periods with poor defending. Back to back nights, too.

    Helped us last year when we didn't need it.

    If not for Quincey kneeling on the ice like an idiot, we could have had two points in regulation. Holland should buy this idiot out in the offseason, and I will personally donate some of my money to help if needed.

    Have we ever beaten the Hawks in a shootout? Toews, Hossa and Kane seemingly always score on us.

    Did Leddy just push Franzen with one hand and make him jump up?

    Good play by Quincey, but he's still responsible for the tying goal.

    Who cares? Are we trying to model ourself after that franchise now?

    Because our forwards are vanilla midgets. We need bigger forwards on this roster. Too one dimensional.
