    NHL will not participate in 2018 Winter Olympics

    This. The NHLPA is adamantly opposed to this decision, wouldn't be surprised if the tune changes at some point. Honestly I hope the superstars are the ones who say f*** it and go anyway. Then again I'm kind of fed up with the NHL in general right now so I enjoy things that may f*** them over. #teampetty

    Farewell To Joe Louis Arena

    Doesn't seem real to me that the next time I see a Wings' home game, it won't be at the Joe. Honestly I think I've got some denial going on. I'm trying not to think about it.

    When will the Wings fall?

    Frankly this post alone was worth re-reading the whole thread. Juckf***ingPot's younger brother??? You be the judge.

    Mike Ilitch passes away at age 87

    RIP Mr. I. You believed in a city everyone else had given up on. The revitalization will be your legacy and a constant reminder of your tireless commitment to the city of Detroit.

    Pilgrimage to Detroit - Must Do Things

    Here to second (third?) the DIA. Love that place. All good suggestions in this thread, don't let the Lafayette bullies pressure you . If all else fails, walk around downtown and see what moves you. Stick to the well-lit streets and you'll be fine--good rule of thumb in Detroit is if the street lights become scarce, so should you. I love the DSO, not sure what shows are coming up in the new year but if that's your thing definitely check out a performance.

    Ken Holland's Achievements

    My family was literally talking about this xmas eve. My cousin was complaining about some of the opposing high school basketball teams and someone threw out a "paint the visitor's locker room" comment. Good times. Say what you want about Scotty, but he is an amazing hockey strategist. In regard to Holland, I think the truth lies somewhere in between all of our histrionics--I think he deserves more credit than the naysayers are willing to give and far less than the apologists heap. I think he played an important part in an organization that, at one time, Had It All Figured Out (tm). I also think that hard times have exposed some serious chinks in his armor (is chinks going to get censored? Ay Caramba), and while I clung to the sinking Holland ship for a long time, I will reluctantly admit that it may be time for a change. Problem is--who is better than Holland right now *that we could actually get*? Bottom line, failures now shouldn't invalidate the successes Holland had with this team in the past. On the same token, success should in no way give him a free pass out of the Sucksville Station at which we seem to be broken down. Someone needs to quickly hoof it down to the next stop and pick up that spark plug from the sketchy bump shop so we can get back on our way. :/
