LeftWinger

Officially cancelled. I'm calling it now, at the end of the regular season they will be 1 point out of the playoffs and this makeup game will be the most important 2 points of the season!

2:1..... Which player did the Red Wings want to draft in 1989, in the round after Fedorov, only to be told he wasn't eligible, then he became eligible in the following round and someone else drafted him?

That reminds me of a classic Ken Daniel's comment one night in Buffalo... "Datsyuk picks the pocket of Peca..." Mickey was laughing saying that "you couldn't wait to say that, eh?" Funny stuff!

Is this your trivia question? No is the answer!

So, after next season John Tavares is a UFA. What are the chances that we'll be able to use Nielsen to lure him to Detroit? Wouldn't that be nice?

You're pretty much right mom. It was kind of a tricky question. 3 players are the answer. Officially, Mickey, then Fedorov AND Sheppard both in 1994. None since....your turn.

Couple more minutes and I'll give the answer so we can get another question.

Not quite....

Who was the first and last 50 goal scorers for us?

Ottawa

I agree with most of it.....Holland was not GM until July of 1997. So he did not bring them that Cup neither. I don't give him credit for 98, even though he was there as GM. In 99, I give him credit for trying to get the ever elusive triple Cup win. I believe the NHL screwed the Wings that year. I actually do not give him credit for 2002 either. Sure, he made the deals and signed the papers, but Bowman got what Bowman wanted. He built that team with Holland's signature and Mike's wallet. I give him some credit for 08. I do give him credit for listening to his scouts and inner circle. To me, Holland is not and was not anywhere near the best GM in the NHL. I thank Scotty Bowman, Jim Devellano, Bryan Murray, Steve Yzerman, Bob Probert, Sergei and the Russian 5. I also thank Shawn Burr, Dino Ciccarelli, Paul Coffey, Nick Lidstrom, Brad McCrimmon for being Nick's first nhl regular partner and teaching him the nhl game. Thank you Dominator. Thank you Patrick Roy for game 7 and making ABC look like the biased jack assess they are when they didnt give Detroit a chance and made all the news about you and still had to run all the pieces on how you've never lost a game 7, even after you were down 4-0 in the 1st. Thank you Holmer. Thank you KFC for many,MANY early nineties nights of Hot Wings and Red Wings. Thank you Stash, for my 27th b-day gift of a little old hockey game on March 26th, 1997. To quote him, after the goalie brawl, "I don't even care if they lose, this is the best game I've ever been to in my life!" If any of you were there live with us, I'm sure you totally concur with his statement...but hey, they even won. My God, where has the time gone?

...and the last update....I hate this team.

Just saw the update...which goalie gets more goal support?

There's our #1 D-Man. No I'm not watching, but the app updates.

I rather enjoy these... https://www.google.com/search?q=shocked+michigan+fan+gif&prmd=ivsn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiD2N3fwfzQAhVJ6oMKHUJHDWMQ_AUIBygB&biw=360&bih=512#imgrc=L3L6XnBPpAQAZM%3A

Release the McKee

Probert and Kocur weren't part of the Dead Wings era. They were rookies in 86. The Dead Wings were 70's and early 80's. They ceased to exist when Jacques Demers took over the bench. He did win two Jack Adams trophies in a row.

I'm mad too, but you can also say they are only 6 points out of being the 2nd seed in their division. Remember also, the 2009 Penguins were out of the playoffs at this point as well...isn't this fun?

You mean Having a GM that makes the necessary hard changes and cuts ties with vets, right? Wish we had that...

I'm done watching until he's gone. I'm definitely not giving them any of my money. I wish more people would too. Sad, because I actually wanted to make it down to The Joe before it closes. Blashill is worse than Dave Lewis.

Yes, welcome, unless you are an old user who was kicked and are here under a new user name! That Gordie guy just won't stay gone, he's like The Man of Steel.

I hate Holland and Blashill.

I don't even trust Holland in a fire sale, he'll trade away the kids and keep his loyal vets. Plus get raped on any trade he may make! I sure as hell don't trust him with a lottery pick!

So, tuned in for a second, out shooting them 33 to 18 and we're losing 4 to 1? Goalie?

The sad thing is, Ken Holland finds this acceptable, and we as fans should accept it as well. Bulls***! This is The Detroit ******* Red Wings! We are The Juck ******* Pott! This is unacceptable! Have some GD pride in this franchise Holland! Do something or step the f*** down! Pardon My F's, but I'm very upset about this...
