Marry me. I’ve got 18 year old Laphroaig in my cupboard

Repost this so I can like it again

I’ll take that deal!!!!!!!!!

Wow. Poulet. Genius.

Franzen’s a bum.

It’s funny. When he was working the hallways and corridors pulling interviews I used to think he was the biggest schmuck on the CBC broadcast. Now, when he’s at a table with Hrudey, Kypreos, and Strombo he’s obviously their best broadcast journalist.

If Franzen doesn't put in an effort tonight I'd like them to seriously consider this for tomorrow's game vs the Flames Nyquist - Zetterberg - Abdlekader Weiss - Datsyuk - Helm Tatar - Sheahan - Jurco Miller - Glendenning - Andersson

Totally. And being "that guy" means you'd be chewing on straws in the Leino Lounge with Kindl, or you'd be chasing cars on Glendenning's wing.

Soooo funny. Fav quote:

If he was referring just to his own play, it would be more than tolerable. I'd actually condone this philosophy.

Sure he wasn't just talking about his role and DeKeyser's role as a blueline tandem? That would make sense.

But Detroit's numbers are better in nearly every major team catergory: GA, PP%, PK%, Shot attempts allowed, faceoff wins, etc. Unless those numbers turn, the wins have to start coming again soon. Plus the 3 OT/SO loses have helped open up the lead over the Leafs by 3 points. Anytime you can do that in a 10 game stretch, you're doing OK.

Bertuzzi with Detroit: 2007 2010-14 Detroit Stanley Cup: 2008 Detroit Stanley Cup Finals: 2009 Coincidence or the Bertuzzi curse??????

Hard to believe that's a professional hockey player. Looks more like one of the IT guys here at work. Subliminal? There is nothing subliminal when it comes to Leafs nation and Babcock. I almost expect either Horacheck or Spott to be wearing "the McGill tie" behind the bench tonight.

Word. I remember Malik sulking a few years ago when Babcock accused him of "starting fires" when he heard he was a blogger.

That's amazing.

At least herpes can be preceeded with a little spring break fun or something. Yes. Losing our coach and getting a newer suckier coach that we want to replace right away IS a "good point". You're right. As a sincere Wings fan, I can totally see how you'd want that to happen.

Sorry. Just the mere mention of Lucic, and I get all debased.

Absoloochly

......like urine from a drunken hobo standing up on the overpass.

Because we suck. Right?

Jesus Frank. We get it. Babcock's your man and he's been performing miracles with this welfare line-up that Holland The Incompetent has shackled him with. Like how he took a borderline ECHLer like Weiss and turned him into a serviceable 4th line plug. Coach of the year move there. But things will be different in Toronto. Because, unlike the Wings, they a deeply sophisticated organizational structure and philosophy that other teams covet. I can see it now, Babcock will go to Shanahan and demand that they trade Clarkson and a 4th for Tavares, and it will be so. Why? Because Babcock will have more "say".

Conspiracy "theory", by you. I love your pro-Wings hubris. Believe me. But come on. Look back to the most recent period where the Wings were contenders. Circa 2007-2009. Holland got the final piece from LA (Stuart) for a 2nd and 4th round pick. That's hardly trade-rape or whatever you want to call it. I would further add that beyond that deal we have a desperate Holland knowingly overpaying for Legwand last year. Was Poille in on some grand league-wide conspiracy? Hell no. If I were a Nashville fan I would have demanded his balls on a platter if he didn't take Holland's lunch money on that one. Then you're left with the Quincey trade. Fair enough, maybe Colorado won't deal directly with Detroit because they were butt-hurt or something, but do you really think Stevie Y was out to get him? Of course not. He was after the best deal for his club, and Holland was dumb/desperate enough to give him a 1st for Quincey. Also, you're crazy if you would "balk" at a Mantha for Weber deal. IMO, that's the one guy you give up the farm for.
