Welcome back!
Shakira is our GM, I'm dating Angela Lindvall, and the Oilers are good again.
jk the Oilers still suck.

So now Leaf fans are saying they are the front runners for Blashill....
They wonder why they are hated soo much. All I have heard at work today was Babcock is going to Toronto and if not they are going to take our "Other" coach. Yes, they say "Other" coach.

Re-sign Dan Cleary please.

Not mine, saw it on twitter...

Quick one from me, considering the above ^^

Spraying the goalie

I think lumping us in with the Maple Leafs is a bit of a stretch.
While we're worried about a one month slump and our team continuing a 23 year playoff streak in which our Wings have had a winning season every year from 1992 on, 6 trips to the SCF in 14 years and 4 Stanley Cups in 11 years, many Leafs fans are probably wondering if their team will ever get back to the Finals in their lifetime because they haven't won it, or even been there since 1967. Given the current ownership group in Toronto, the future's not looking too hopeful there.
The Maple Leafs are run like a big, faceless corporation while the Illitch owned Red Wings have been more like a family for the last several years.
As someone who's been a Red Wings fan practically his whole life, I couldn't ask for much better. Some of my fondest childhood and adult memories are of watching all of those great Red Wings teams of the 90s and 2000s with my dad. Such memories as seeing my 40 year old dad screaming at the top of his lungs on his bed as the Red Wings clinched their first trip to the Stanley Cup Finals in 29 years against the Blackhawks, and the "I Want Stanley" song during the 95' Finals, the fight on March 26, 1997, my dad on the floor screaming in front of the big screen when the clock hit 0, and the Wings won their first Cup in 42 years, the nerve racking 1998 playoff run and repeat, the 2002 All Star team, and rushing home from my high school graduation to try to catch end of game 7 against the Aves, and of course 2008 and 2009.
I could seriously write a book, but I won't... tonight.
And if you really think we have it so bad, or "deserve better", try putting yourself in the shoes of a die hard Blues, Flyers, or Sabres fan, all teams with very loyal fan bases who've endured decades and decades of frustration.
As for what other team's fans think of us? Who cares? Win or lose, they hate us, call us know nothings, crybabies, obnoxious, spoiled etc. etc. Why you might ask? reread my post.

I deserve better, I don't know about everyone else.

Don't care if the game against SJ isn't over yet. 3 goals on 9 shots. The first goal he went down too soon and that is no one's fault but his.
Don't care who says "but they weren't his fault" because he gave up a point against PHX in OT and it has been a consistent trend since he got back from injury.
His stats are horrible. His puck handling is horrible. He can't control rebounds. He can't stop breakaways. Why is he the #1? Because of loyalty and seniority. That's it. That's all it CAN be.
Petr Mrazek is an NHL goalie. He has superior stats. He is a VAST upgrade in puck handling and speed. He is aggressive and plays pretty well positionally. And he has just as many Cups as Howard has as a starter. So what's the upside in keeping him out?

Sorry...too fired up. I'll tone it down!

Whoa dude.Dial it back like 98% less homophobic.

But. He already coaches the best player in hockey.

How exactly is he much more talented?
Yandle:
Games played: 544
Career points: 302
highest point total: -59 points
highest assists: 48
career +/-: -25
Pim: 368
Current points: 32 in 49 games
Green:
games played: 544
Career points: 344
Highest point total: 76
Highest assists: 57
Career +/-: +50
Pim: 398
current points: 29 in 41 games
Well I guess those 30 less career pim make yandle way more talented....

The universe will not allow the Red Wings to acquire Yandle before he is 35. Fact.

Let's forget Yandle and get Doan for Franzen

Ya but his bad pass save% is almost perfect

+10 points for originality

Nyquist continuing his incredibly high scoring rate is great news, no sign of a sophomore slump so far and he seems to be the real deal.
Also impressed by Smith and Quincey so far.

They've all been average. Zero great saves.

Nice to see no “Bad Pass Goals” so far by Howard

Think Howard wants this one? What an absolute average game!!

Howard with another average save and no rebound.

Who has two thumbs and is The Bryz' biggest fan?
This guy.
