Yes doctor he's right over there... *points at jimmy*

Can someone please call 911

Why does no one want to talk to Hampus Melen about Hampus Melen

I feel like you might need to go talk to somebody about this intense trauma you've experienced

Yeah, but he plays some mean bongos. I'd make a joke about the GGs, but god DAMN I love that show

SHOTS FIRED

Lucic is a piece of s***. An absolute scumbag. I don't give a damn how good of a player he is, it would be an embarrassment to have him in a Wings jersey. There's a lot of players I hate that would be great on the Wings and I would be more than happy to suck it up and bring them in (Weber, et al) but Milan "Human Garbage Can" Lucic is not one of them. f*** that guy.

Psst Jonathan Toews has halitosis and uses that all-natural deodorant that doesn't work Pass it on

BOOM *Glendening flies away from your triflin' ass on the wings of a bald eagle wearing nothing but American flag underpants*

You can really tell who around here has friends/family that take the piss on the regular and those who don't

Beat me to it! I spent, like, a WHOLE MINUTE trying to come up with a cattle joke only to be robbed at the last minute.

@Real_ESPNLeBrun: Therrien re: Prust comments on Watson, Habs coach says he believes what's said on the ice should stay on the ice. @Real_ESPNLeBrun: Therrien added that it will be dealt with internally. Which suggests a chat with Prust is coming

Some would say I have a nose for Hampus

He's the lesser Hampus. Just you wait.

Thoughts on Prusts comments? http://www.tsn.ca/prust-has-choice-words-for-referee-watson-1.274336

Which makes me really sad. We really are our own worst enemy.

Perfect And since there's some sensitive people *points* up there who can't handle some levity in the thread, let me be painfully on topic in sharing my opinion on The State of the NHL: The game is changing. The league is changing. The way the game was played 30 years ago would be a bad fit for the current situation on multiple levels. As someone mentioned before, players today are faster, bigger, and stronger than ever before. Gear is more high tech. And we have knowledge now regarding health and safety issues that was not widely available before. The league would be foolish and unprogressive if they dug their heels in and refused to develop the game in a way that addresses these challenges. Do I like every change that is made? No. But I also have no misconceptions that me raging against the machine is gonna make a rabbit's fart of a difference. "Pretend we have an audience.". We *do*. Social media has developed to a point where officials ABSOLUTELY know how fans of the game feel about each and every little thing. They just don't *care*. Because here's the kicker, and if I have to pick the one thing that bothers me the most it would be this: WE are not who the league is reaching out to. The die hard, post on a hockey team's message board, donate money to charity based on playoff performance, contemplate homicide of other players not on our team who are probably pretty nice guys otherwise type people are going to follow our team /the league *anyway*. Our $ is not the growth, because it has always *been there*. These changes, the outreach, the people pleasing (if any) will not be directed at us. It will be directed at Joe Non-hockey Schmo whose ass they're trying to pull into a seat. Trying to pull into the NHL shop. Trying to pull into buying that cable package or GCL. So the game is gonna change. Because hockey is not very accessible to people who aren't familiar with it. Do I like it? Not necessarily, but in a way that mirrors why my grandpa doesn't like it that he can't find a doctor with a name he can pronounce. There are some changes the league is looking into that I think will be beneficial like 4-4 overtime and video reviews, but to opine that the league is "changing" because it's not like it was 30 years ago is short-sighted, unnecessarily nostalgic, and unprogressive. Time marches on. Things change. And now I've forgotten my larger point. Which is why "old man yells at cloud" sums up my feelings perfectly, and isn't as sarcastic as you thought. You...should probably step away from your keyboard for a minute.

@Bill_Roose: According to Don Cherry on Coach's Corner, #RedWings coach Mike Babcock is not going to Edmonton. He's going to a ready-made team, San Jose. Please, tell me more Don.

If I wasn't on mobile, I would be posting the "old man yells at cloud" picture from the Simpsons. So just imagine that's what you're looking at right now.

WOOO! That's how you battle back in a series. *glares at the Detroit Red Wings*

@tkulfan: Zidlicky has concussion symptoms...has not decided whether he wants to play anymore @KenKalDRW: Babcock said that there's a 24 hour rule for sulking in his house (after game 7 loss) and he used all 24 hours. @Bill_Roose: #RedWings coach Mike Babcock said he doesn't know what the future holds. "I'm not trying to snow you. I don't know." http://t.co/MrSCsNf6rX @HeleneStJames: "I don't want to be a general manager. I'm a coach" Mike Babcock @Bill_Roose: #RedWings defenseman Kyle Quincey said he'll undergo surgery next week to remove bone chips from an ankle. @CraigCustance: Jimmy Howard says he won't request trade. Looks forward to competing for starting job in Red Wings training camp.

Honestly, I'd rather keep it in Detroit. What are everyone's thoughts?
