Personally I think in a few years when Nyquist and Tatar are carrying the team offensively, with a couple of Dekeyser, Smith, Sproul, Ouellet, Marchenko or Backman carrying the defensive load. We'll be looking at these last few years in a much more positive light than we are right now. Teams like Edmonton are insanely jealous of how we've managed to rebuild on the fly. He's made some bad signings and a couple of questionable trades, but what GM hasn't? What he'll be evaluated on is how well the organization transitions from the Euro Twins era into whatever the next generation of our team is.

Congrats to Stevie. He deserved the extension. Whether we like him or not Holland isn't going anywhere, he'll get his own extension in a couple years if he's interested in continuing as GM.

Simple yet oddly addictive game using pictures of Nyquist. The goal is to use the arrow keys to merge identical pictures. Every time you merge you get a next level image, If you can match 2 eleventh level tiles you win. http://games.usvsth3m.com/2048/the-goose-is-loose-edition/

That gave me the final push I needed to get to the end. I was using the top row but I didn't really think to keep the 4 tiles in order up there until your advice. When I finally beat it, I actually screwed up and ended up with a level 1 tlie in the top corner while all the way up to level 8 and somehow managed to get enough tiles up to it to advance it all the way up to level 8 as well, from there it was smooth sailing.

Why not...I'm open for any pointers. I keep getting to the 10th level and massing tons of pts but I can't seem to clear that last hurdle.

I was hoping they'd use the gif I made as the final image. Glad to hear they did

The order of pictures I've gotten to go 1 Goose 2 AHL Allstar picture 3 AHL headshot 4 NHL Headshot 5 NHL Shot followthrough 6 Nyquist and Tatar hugging 7 gif of his playoff goal vs Chicago 8 gif of his highlight reel goal vs Tampa 9 Dancing Goose GIf 10 Attacking Goose Gif 11 ?

The key seems to be to never ever move the tiles down. Up, left or right only, unless no other options are available.

Anyone able to finish it yet? I've gotten close, with a score above 25 thousand, but I can't seem to finish it.

If Weiss is going to be bought out it will be after next season not this one.

I didn't want to have to start putting it there, but I too have seen some of my work being claimed by others. Including the dancing gif I did the other day. I'm happy to have my work shared by anyone, but I'd like to at least be recognized for creating it. This way people will have to do some work to steal it.

Like every other fan base in every other sport the loudest and most outrageous fans tend to paint the entire fanbase in their colors. For all the Leaf fans that deserve those trades there are millions who really do deserve to see some success. Night after night through decades of futility they continue to fill their arena, while also paying the highest ticket prices in the league. The waitlist to get season tickets there is so long that signing up right now would give your grandchildren, or great grandchildren the opportunity to buy tickets. I may hate the team, but living in this city it's hard not to feel bad for the fans that just want more than anything else in the world to see their team win. We should have some sympathy for them considering the 42 years our fanbase went without a cup. They're closing in on 50.

Sportsclubstats numbers are odd at times. According to the site the Leafs enter tomorrow nights game vs Calgary with a 4.6% chance to make the playoffs. Should the lose in regulation those odds drop by 3.6% leaving them a 1% chance. Should Columbus also win that would drop the Leafs chances by 1% leaving them at 0 despite not being officially eliminated. Even worse, should Washington win their game tomorrow the Leafs odds drop another .5% leaving them with negative odds to make the dance, with a Philadelphia win dropping them further by .1 %. So if things go perfectly against them they will have a -.6% chance of making the playoffs despite being only 4 pts back with 5 games to play. I don't disagree that the Leafs odds are ridiculously long but those numbers seem out of whack.

Where there's smoke there's fire. The Wings aren't known for starting false rumors and there were reports for months leading up to the trade that he was unhappy in Grand Rapids. Just how unhappy we'll never know, and while I don't believe the reports that he already had a deal in Sweden, I do believe if he had stayed in Grand Rapids and not gotten any NHL time he would have went home.

ummm did you read the edit to my post where I provided the article where he admits himself that he was close to moving back home?

If you're counting on Jarnkrok to shadow Crosby you're going to get destroyed, that's why he isn't even considered for Miller, or Glendening's roles. He could play in Andersson's spot that he's currently occupying, but at the time Calle was traded, Andersson was on the checking line which is the absolute worst place for Jarnkrok to play. Emmerton wasn't even in the NHL at the time of the trade, he was only called up because another center went down. Had Jarnkrok not threatened to go back to Sweden necessitating the trade he would have got his NHL shot with the Wings right then. And before anyone claims that the idea of him going back to Sweden was made up, he admitted it himself to Swedish media. http://arbetarbladet.se/sport/ishockey/1.7003458-jarnkrok-jag-var-nara-att-flytta-hem-till-brynas- Headline translates to " I was close to moving home to Brynasgatan"

Not only was he pointless, he took a penalty that lead to Washington tying the game. Tonights Jarnkrok looked like he didn't really belong in the NHL.

Average goals for per game when Gustavsson starts - 3.27 goals per game. Average goals for per game when Howard starts - 2.71 Over an 82 game season that's a difference of 46 goals. It's gotten closer in the past month or so, but that's still a pretty drastic difference in goal support. I don't think Gustavsson has really played any better than Howard over the course of the season, but for whatever reason the Wings tend to score more when he's in net.

What game did you watch? or did you watch at all? Franzen led the forwards in ice-time and hits was tied for the lead in faceoff %, had 0 giveaways, 1 assist and finished +1. I swear for some of you guys if he doesn't score 23 goals a game he sucked. If this is how you react to a good game, what is your reaction when he actually has a bad game?

I don't think that was a "Let's go Red Wings" chant. I believe they were chanting "Let's go Raptors", who clinched their first playoff berth in years last night.

Riley Sheahan. He was pulled over driving "Super" drunk wearing a Tinky Winky Telletubby costume a few offseasons ago. If I had a dollar for every "expert" who claimed the Wings were in for a long playoff dry spell I'd own the team.

I'm pretty sure its from the Wolf of Wall Street.

I'm interested to see if you guys and gals pick out how many Wings are in that gif.
