    Ryan Suter agrees to 13-year, $98-mil deal with Wild

    And now the Wings miss the playoffs for the first time in 21 years. I feel like Holland dropped the ball.

    Who are the top 23 players in the NHL?

    Dustin Brown is absolutely not part of the 23 best players in the NHL.

    2012 SCF : Los Angeles Kings vs. New Jersey Devils

    As much as I want to see the Kings win for their franchise and so we can get Parise, I don't think I can handle the bandwagon Kings fans and instant hockey fans that will come with them winning. I live two hours out of LA, and hockey is completely overshadowed by basketball and football. I guess it can't be avoided now though; bring on the douchey bandwagoners. Edit: The Parise comment is me hoping.

    Nick Lidstrom retires after 20 seasons

    If we don't sign Suter or some other big name defense man, then I feel like we will be in trouble. Not that anyone can replace Lidstrom anyway, but it would be nice to see a top guy like Suter step up. P.S. Don't retire Nick; we all love you too much. Edit: Am I the only one tearing up watching some of Nick's highlights and thinking about his retirement?

    #8 Los Angeles Kings vs. #2 St. Louis Blues

    Anyone see the intermission report? It showed Jordan Nolan's name at the bottom with his stats and then it showed Crosby's face like for Nolan. Hahahah. Just can't keep Crosby off of their minds.

    #8 Los Angeles Kings vs. #2 St. Louis Blues

    I think the Kings have a great shot at the cup this year. Seem to have all kinds of offense in the playoffs, and Quick is outstanding.

    An article I wrote about Hudler for Bleacher Report

    This is about Jiri Hudler on the Detroit Red Wings right? The Hudler I remember seeing won probably 15% of his board battles, and he was the recipient of perfect plays by Fil and Z.

    Your favorite moments of the season

    Some of Bert's shootout wins stand out to me. Especially during the home win streak; he was so clutch.

    #6 New Jersey Devils vs. #5 Philadelphia Flyers

    Haven't really watched much of Parise previously, but holy crap. He is an amazing player. I will be so happy if we get him, but unfortunately I'm doubtful.

    #7 Washington Capitals vs. #1 New York Rangers

    Yes, I believe you have to pay 25 games in a season in order to remove rookie season tag. Ah, okay thanks. Wasn't sure, so that means Smith can win the Calder next year!

    #7 Washington Capitals vs. #1 New York Rangers

    Probably not the place to ask this, but I'm not sure where else to put it. If a player plays for only a few games, say under 15, such as Nyquist or Smith, is that considered their rookie year? (Not sure if Nyquist played more than 15, but I'm pretty confident Smith didn't) Edit: Plays in their first season.

    Report: Luongo officially requests trade out of Vancouver

    Howard is a much better goalie than Luongo imo.

    #4 Nashville Predators vs. #3 Phoenix Coyotes

    That 3rd goal by the yotes was pretty badass.

    #4 Nashville Predators vs. #3 Phoenix Coyotes

    I'm sort of afraid for Phoenix. If Weber had virtually no punishment for what he did to Z, imagine what he will do/get away with if they lose the series.

    #4 Nashville Predators vs. #3 Phoenix Coyotes

    Rinne lets in a stoppable puck on the fourth shot...Awesome.....He's probably going to play average even though he was unbeatable against us.

    What's Kenny Holland's Offseason Plan?

    I think the Bertuzzi signing was extremely stupid. I like Bertuzzi and am not one to bash him, but he brings nothing to this team besides crafty shootout victories. He had zero points in the playoffs and was minus 5. Also, if it were possible I would really enjoy seeing Franzen leave this team, just can't stand him anymore.

    #5 Philadelphia Flyers vs. #4 Pittsburgh Penguins

    These teams are scoring on EVERY SINGLE scoring chance they get. Would say Wings need to take a page out of their book, but the sole purpose of all these goals is because of extremely inferior goaltending/defense, but mostly goaltending so far.

    WCQF Game Four GDT : Predators 3 at Red Wings 1

    Well I'm glad that Franzen stepped it up to his playoff level.......................all he did was stand by the net while a puck went in off of his leg. This guy is terrible wish we had Hossa.

    WCQF Game Four GDT : Predators 3 at Red Wings 1

    Haha I really don't think Howard could have been any more pathetic in this game. My God absolutely no way we can win with goaltending like that. Way to go Wings, as if this game wasn't important. Should've played it like a game 7. Now the Preds will go back home and end this series easily.

    WCQF Game Four GDT : Predators 3 at Red Wings 1

    It's pretty apparent the next level that Rinne is on, making Howard look really average.
  21. CaliforniaWingsFan

    WCQF Game Four GDT : Predators 3 at Red Wings 1

    That goal was not all Howard, but you can't help but wish he could perform at the same level of Rinne completely out of position on that one. Just can't steal a game for Detroit obviously. Edit: Howard is definitely off of his game can't believe it.

    Are you joking? Wow f*** everything about this.

    Could Cleary have blown a better opportunity there? So stupid.............

    Game over, series over. Wings don't even care.
