Missing Larkin in this first period and a few soft calls.

Let's go Wings!

He had a decent, nice career. He was a great Red Wing. Never elite. Tough when you're following in the strides of one of the best to ever lace them up, sure. Is he a HOFer or will he have his number retired? No, I don't think so, IMO.

Decent career for Kronners. Glad he knew it was time to go. Thankful for his contribution to the organization. LGW

Shaping up as one of those games that the DRW are supposed to lose and then win. LGW.

Let’s go wings!

Let's go Wings!

Brian Lashoff baby. The Savior. Really though, hanging with Lightning and now the Leafs would be cool. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about this Wings team but what I do know is they're making me tune in more than I have in the recent past. Let's go Wings!

Let's go Wings!

Let's go Wings!

For me, it has reached the point where Lions season is officially over and Red Wings season has officially begun. The date changes from year to year, sometimes it's earlier, sometimes it's later, but it always comes around sooner or later. Let's go Wings!

Fine with this. Decent enough haul for a guy that was never gonna be here much longer after they didn't protect him in expansion. Good luck to him and let's keep the rebuild going.

Leafs look good. But coming off back to back. Could happen. Should be a nice measuring stick. Let's go Wings.

Let's start out first road trip of the year on a good note. Let's go Wings!

Here's to the start of another DRW season. Gonna be a different one but still got some hopes for good things. Just glad hockey is back. Let's go Wings!

Would like to see the octopi throwing limited to playoff games, think it's been a little bit overdone recently.

Caps have to take Game 4 to have a shot. Looked like a heartbreaker/collapse last night. Need to ride the win to have a shot and Holtby needs to play perfect.

Where is the biggest need to be addressed at the draft? I want defense. With the upgrades made the offensive line, if we have at least 1 or 2 more playmakers on defense, could actually be really excited for the season. Typical Lions to make us excited then let us down...

Agreed. I think the NHL was trying to have the conference finals be representatives of each region of the countries to have locations involved, but with parody it does not make sense to me, should just do 1-8 in each conference, do not overcomplicate things

I would recommend Lafayette Coney Island for a bite before or after a game for a genuine coney. A great place for feather bowling is Cadieux Cafe. Some other good bars for before or after a game are Anchor Bar and Andrew's on the Corner, both of which have shuttles. Frozen pond, your best bet is probably Clark Park in Detroit. If you're looking for an adventure, could check out Belle Isle to shovel off your own pond, if it's cold enough. For a comedy club, the only one I know of is Mark Ridley's Comedy Castle in Royal Oak. If it's your bag of tea, I would check out the DIA, just a cool building in general. The Midtown area in general is making a lot of strides in the past years. Traffic Jam is a good spot in Midtown. Eastern Market is another cool spot downtown - is a good place to walk around. Finally I would suggest a place to get true Detroit style pizza, Niki's in Greektown or any Buddy's location, there are several. Oh and get some Better Made potato chips, preferably barbecue.

What is a realistic expectation for this team at this point in the season? Playoff appearance? Playoff win?

Let's go Wings! End this lame never winning in Philly stat.

This. And both goalies will be hung onto for some time unless the the deal is right, IMO.

Hope the Tigers can pull off this Wild card berth
