The Detroit Red Wings have been coming to the same party for 24 years now.. and in no way is that depressing!

Take it with a grain of salt but, I've heard from a friend who knows a guy with an office in the Joe that Abby has a broken index and middle finger on his top hand and has pins in them right now. Hopefully he's just misinformed but if that's true, it sounds pretty serious.... :/

bad gas?

Not a Photoshop but, obligatory rafter comparison That's cute.... Let's add to it! LGW!!

Not to mention they had to restrict ticket sales out of fear that wings fans would out number bolt fans on their home ice

Apparently a Tampa area blogger published an article bashing the city of Detroit and the lightning website and Twitter posted it.... So, this guy wrote a perfect comeback article. http://detroitsportsnation.com/detroit-nhl/jporter/tale-reality-tampa-bay-vs-detroit/32815/?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=facebook_page&utm_medium=Detroit+Sports+Nation&utm_content=Tale+of+Reality%3A+Tampa+Bay+vs+Detroit Stay classy, Tampa Bay.

"@DetroitRedWings: Per Coach Babcock; Justin Abdelkader is out for Game 1. #RedWings"

"@Real_ESPNLeBrun: NHL discipline chief Stephane Quintal confirms P.K. Subban not facing any more discipline for slash on Stone. Penalty last night sufficed."

I kind of thought the same thing at first.. but it's Babcock. The lines probably won't even finish the first 100% the way that they start the game.

Is it 7:30 yet?!

It'll probably be up to the next GM if Julien stays or goes.. I won't be surprised when he goes too.

Hopefully Bert round 2 is called to g.r. I'm going to the final home game Saturday

But does mcgrattan have a s***ty dagger tattoo across his chest?! Point, lesnar.

I didn't read every other post (sorry) so this might've got said already.. But, I've always thought/agreed that a good way to increase scoring would be to not allow teams that take penalties to ice the puck. Why reward teams for breaking a rule by allowing them break another rule? It never made much sense to me and would increase power play scoring.

It's just too bad that the wings play their best when he doesn't.. Let's just build a time machine and go back to '07 & have Kenny draft pk subban instead

Ditto. Should be fun though.

Sounds like trade value to me!

I wouldn't mind dealing for Phaneuf but only if the leafs terrain salary. Phaneuf at 5 mill sounds good to me.. 7, not so much.

I'd love for the kings to get McDavid haha. Or could you imagine Dallas getting him and having a potential Seguin, Benn, McDavid combo. Really though, just anyone but Toronto

I wouldn't be opposed.. trade him in a package for a top two d man, move Ericsson to the third pairing and our defense shouldn't look too bad. If only top two d men were ever available..

What frustrates me most about Smith is he'll occasionally have a good stretch of games and then right when you start thinking along the lines of "okay, looks like he could be trending toward the solid defenseman we hoped he would" and then he'll have a couple bad games and regress right back to me not being a fan of his play.. I understand everyone goes through growing pains and all that but, at what point does the inconsistency stop being considered "growing pains" and become just a part of who that player is?

Tank for McDavid!!

I forgot they do that annually... My hopes are back. Miss away, penguins!

It sure is! I love it. (I can't take credit though, Idk where I found it) Most satisfying loss ever though
