19 games...geez, it's been a long 19 games.

AWESOME! Our offense should not be getting shut out anymore! Ok, now lets get a backup goalie and fire McCrimmon. Thanks

That's what she said.

Cool stats bro, how about we screw all the stats, get healthy, win some games, make the playoffs, go in as the underdogs for once, beat everyone, hoist the mug !

Wings need to get their s*** together defensively or get ready for a 1st round exit. If they didn't have the second best offense in the league they would be in deep s***.

really? one game? that is a little far fetched from what im expecting... im thinking somwere along the lines of 10-2-2

Nothing indoctrinates like bible study.

Our church has no power!! OK, I mean electrical power! NO choir practice tonight!! There IS a God! Yeeehaaa!
GO, WINGS! GO, JUMPIN' JIMMEH!!

The Wings will not be sharp and Howard sucks. I wish we were Philadelphia. 4-1 Sens.
HAHAHA Just kidding. I was pretending to be Mindfly.
4-1 Wings

They're pretty good. I like their Jersey. The logo is a good look there.

I like their current ones better and the bolt on the pants was cool too.

The departure of silver is indeed disappointing and after black was one of their main colours, it's now gone entirely. Boo.
I was never crazy about the number font for these ones, but it there any way they can go back to this:

Looks a little Toronto-ish. It's not bad, but I think some silver or grey stripes would have looked great.

Meh. I thought they had a nice jersey.
A simple logo isn't necessarily a great logo. There's nothing simple about the Wings logo and it's a classic. Same goes for the indian head in Chicago.

Here's my problem, because obviously Snow did nothing wrong in terms of the rules
Hockey, just like any other business, has "guidelines" apart from the rules. If you want to be a well respected franchise where players will want to come and play their best, you have to act a certain way in business, considering all sides of a matter...
1. Players who sign a deal with a contender, halfway through the NHL season, who are 35 plus years old and haven't won a cup, probably don't want to play on a team that has already forfieted their season, traded veterans, been a perennial bottom feeder, continuesly ran into the ground, and is essentially certain to miss the playoffs.
a. Considering above, player may not report when claimed.
b. By not reporting, he makes said team look even worse in the media.
2. By claiming said player, you may: Instantly create an unhealthy relationship with the player, agent, agents other clients, signing team, or all. (Very much like Offer Sheets for RFA's)
3. By doing so you may: Confirm to the entire NHL community (again), on a large media scale mind you, exactly what kind of short sighted hockey operations decisions (Yashin trade and signing and releasing, Luongo trade, DiPietro signing, etc.) got you to be in the predicament you're in to begin with.
a. Repercussions include, but not limited to: even less ticket sales, corporate sponsership, or new fans.
Of course we don't expect anything different from them. But that doesn't excuse Snow from a little bit of responsibility for his short sighted actions. I still blame him because its a bad PR decision that is a huge high-risk, low reward move.
Some unlearned fan somewhere is saying, "Geez, what kind of smart, successful, business and personal relations trained GM would do such a thing?" And we all laugh and shrug our shoulders, trying to make them look as big as a certain late '90's back-up goaltender from the Flyers. A 'tender who's rags to more rags story has uninspired us all and left us wishing Mike Milbury would return to bring the Isle's back to their former glory!

This would be a little more exciting if Team Lids were playing like they actually wanted to be there. But I can't blame them, why tax yourself too much when this doesn't count for your own team?

This band was ok 10 years ago. They'd be better now i they were wearing jerseys.
Hey it's the one song I know from them!

I find it funny how the NHL uses s***ty bands and songs from a decade ago for this event. This and in those commercials that switchfoot crap.

Man, this new format is boring, I mean the other years were not much better. I liked North America VS the world! I am not much of a fan of the VS announcer team either. Oh well, that's an All Star Game for ya.

Mursak would give Helm a run for his money on fastest skater and Eaves is pretty good at picking the corners too against Mule.
esteef

I'll play for the wings

cool jersey, bro. you should have picked #10, though, as that's how many more cups we have than your team.

I'm doing so much fist pumping and crotch thrusting right now it's unreal!!!

If you think goaltenders today have it hard, look up that dudes career
One of the Wings most famous goalies. Not....because they did good those years...either.
