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.

HYPE!
LGRW!

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

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!

I agree, it was fine the way it was with 6 divisions.

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?

Given those two options, I think most (if not everyone) would pick option 2... the problem is, there's an option in between the two extremes...

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

Lets look at this from a different angle for those that want Mrazek playing 70+ games. He is the future of this team no doubt. This team needs Howard to get into games and play well though. They tried to trade him all off season and nobody bit. He has no trade value and there was no guarantee LV would take him. They need him to play in 25+ games and to play well. If he keeps playing like he is then come trade deadline someone will definitely be offering up for him and at the very least he probably gets taken in the expansion draft and the Wings get some cap relief. If they dont play him we will be in this same two goaltender boat next year so everyone needs to really push for him to play well and get in games.

Hanta yo baby!

While that may be true but did anyone realistically expect the Hawks bowing out in 5 games? The Blues are a fantastic team and are playing the brand of hockey I like but this outcome has to be surprising. If you think about it with the right calls in game 2 they would have swept! the champions already. To me that should be a big story and raise some questionmarks for the Hawks?

Is that the alcohol content of what you're currently drinking?

The bad news is that we suck.
