Missed the Morrow high stick on Glendenning.

Wings winning the special team’s battle right now. Which means they won’t get another PP until Tampa get the lead. Book it.

The good news is that they are due to go on a hot streak. On a more important note, I find it insanely ridiculous how much McDonald’s are ripping of Arby’s with that Big Mac commercial.

The whole team is inconsistent. Like, all of them. Including Mrazek.

Exactly.

O’Halloran the Wing hater with the soft call on Pulkinnen. Stamkos thinking he’s all cool throwing Pulkinnen’s stick eh?

There’s Jurco’s season in a nutshell.

I think that’s Cole’s goal.

Niiiiiiiice rebound.

Osgood was 17 - 0 career vs Lightning in his career. Could use him in the playoffs.

aaaaaaaaand hopefully that’s the last we here from you tonight.

Can we trade his ghost for a 28 year old Shanahan?

Some dude on twitter just said that there are no line-up changes for Detroit tonight. Also, it's Filpulla's birthday.

People also don't give Chicago enough credit for making shrewd moves to navigate the cap and keep the team contending on a yearly basis. They've basically one a cup with two different teams of role players to compliment the core. They also drafted extremely well (Sadd and Keith in the 2nd round were great picks). That was painful to type. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go barf.

Don't tell me you blocked the "Elder Troll"? The one who tries to use seniority as a way of validating his opinion and whose main troll weapon is the eyeroll and/or calling people Crymson.

I understand all of this. I just wish you two would settle this debate. We've got Trolls to battle.

I thought people from The Rock were supposed to be laid back? I wasn't stating my opinion. I was merely making an observation about the epic cat fight between you and hair-metal dude over Smith that's been going on for about four ******* months now. But I'll never do that again. Yeeeesh. For the record, I actually like Smith.

Sweet jesus. Win this game please. I can't take another Night of the Living Trolls.

Not that I enjoy butting in, but I'm pretty sure Kip's problem is that you think Smith is a top 4.

This guy could punch McDavid so hard, that the next 10 future first rounders would retroactively be born with concussions, sending a "message" throughout the cold depths of outer space . Which, of course, would somehow lead to the Red Wings winning more games.

Ideal playoff situation? Make the playoffs.

Only on LGWs is Andersson the whipping boy, even though Nyquist has only scored twice in 19 games.

Great post 9. Backing off the "tank" philosophy for a minute. Most of those teams you mentioned have reaped the rewards of at least one abysmal season. Star players like Price, Stamkos, Johansen, Pietrangello, Jones, etc all went top 5, but only Stamkos was a #1 pick. So you don't "have" to tank. Plain old being regular bad works too. As much as a loathe the "tank it" philosophy amongst some around here, I can understand a Wings fan's frustration about never getting a Price in the draft. Just look at how excited everyone was to draft 15th last year for frig sakes. But ultimately, cheering for your own team to suck is impossible for me to condone.

And certainly three of those four guys you mentioned would not only not make most farm teams, but also they wouldn't win the Calder Cup. Genius. Awooooooo
