    #5 Philadelphia Flyers vs. #4 Pittsburgh Penguins

    So Crosby actually shook hands... Wow...

    Which team would piss you off the most if they won the cup?

    So the top three teams that would piss us off the most if they won... won't. Nice.

    #8 Los Angeles Kings vs. #1 Vancouver Canucks

    How is that not a part of Avalanche games? "He's so fat he covers up the entire goal." "Nah-unh, I just have a sweet hockey body."

    Have we seen the last of Holmstrom?

    It's one of those couples where you don't mind that the funny guy got the pretty girl.

    #7 San Jose Sharks vs. #2 St. Louis Blues

    So I guess it's all about the mustache. Babs' hair no longer has its magic. And Todd... Doesn't really have a defining feature on his face/head. Maybe that's his problem.

    What's Kenny Holland's Offseason Plan?

    Magic fixes and pixie dust aren't in his repertoire, hehe.

    #8 Ottawa Senators vs. #1 New York Rangers

    Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide. No escape from reality.

    BYE BYE GUPPIES!

    Merge coming?

    Who do you blame for this unsuccessfully playoff run

    There should be poll options like Cleary, Bertuzzi, Hudler, Ericsson, etc, for our pathetic resident schtick people who say the same s*** over and over again about the same players.

    So Who Do You Cheer For Now?

    Nobody in particular. I do like watching the Blues a little but their fans that come on here are as moronic as any generic troll.

    2012 Free Agents

    Anyone here have any thoughts on Chris Kelly from Boston? Not a top six winger but he's definitely a tweener guy who can be a jolt for your depth. I see him as a very good linemate with Helm.

    Death of the integrity of the NHL.

    Pretty much. It's pretty sad that I feel as if I have to "find a way" to enjoy the NHL product.

    Have we seen the last of Holmstrom?

    Hopefully. They say Lidstrom and Holmstrom are a package deal, which might have some truth to it. Draper and Maltby seemed to be a package deal too but they brought back Draper for one more year than Maltby.

    Will #5 be back?

    Haha. Yuh-oh...

    4-1 1st rd exit best thing for Wings

    If they're not going to win the Stanley Cup then yeah a 1st round exit is probably up there. Players want to keep playing and Ilitch probably wants to make more money off playoff games but for fans it's probably more preferable in the long-term than a 2nd or perhaps 3rd round exit because then you can say, "Well we were close and bleh bleh bleh."

    Death of the integrity of the NHL.

    You wouldn't by any chance have that article that was released almost immediately after the finals were over in 2008 about how the writer really raised his eyebrows towards the end of Game 6? The main message was that something really smelled fishy. Lilja's stick slashed out of his hands, Pav getting tripped at center ice, etc.

    What's Kenny Holland's Offseason Plan?

    Again... Admit it, I've trumped you.

    What's Kenny Holland's Offseason Plan?

    Miller is tall but he doesn't provide as much of a physical impact on the ice for my liking. He works really hard and he definitely puts effort into his checks but they're far from halfway scary. I'm not looking for the next Dallas Drake from him but I want the opposing dmen to have a little something to worry about.

    What's Kenny Holland's Offseason Plan?

    He's going to need to do a lot more than that. For the top six, ideally you want a shooter and a complimentary power forward/grinder to take care of the puck down low, basically a younger version of Bertuzzi's current job. For the bottom six, oh man, that thing needs a major overhaul. Keep Helm... I think that's pretty much it. Look for upgrades for everyone else. I guess it wouldn't be the worse thing in the world if they still had a healthy Eaves, a significantly improved Abdelkader, and perhaps Drew Miller. I'd also be open to using Mursak on the bottom six. I'm more concerned with speed than size when it comes to the bottom six. They really need to get faster and they really need to have more clutch abilities.

    What's Kenny Holland's Offseason Plan?

    Don't forget Helm. My God... Again I really hope Holland doesn't believe that Helm's absence from the series will lead Holland to believe the team doesn't need major changes.

    23 game home win streak

    Nice. Although I guess in hindsight we did witness some major signs; the road record and very mediocre-ranking special teams as the big ones. Also their annoying habit of games that need extra time wasn't good.
  23. Red Wings Addict

    What's Kenny Holland's Offseason Plan?

    If he cites luck as a major reason for no changes then I'll probably jump on the "Fire Holland!" bandwagon. I'm not quite there yet but I hear its wheels turning towards my stop.
  24. Red Wings Addict

    What's Kenny Holland's Offseason Plan?

    They need major upgrades seemingly everywhere. Top six, bottom six, top and bottom dmen, backup goalie....
  25. Red Wings Addict

    What's Kenny Holland's Offseason Plan?

    Now that it's all over I'm thinking that after what we all saw that Kenny HAS to make changes. No "Well we were neck and neck with them the whole way and bleh bleh bleh."
