PK Wow, their power play really is worse than ours. Not sure how that's possible, but there ya go.

It really is.

Hear, hear! Dayum, we have ourselves a hockey game!

Classy tribute to the late, great Mr. Lindsay.

This mofo? Probably the worst mascot in sports, tbh.

Filip Larsson Named to the NCHC All-Rookie Team [WingsNation] Filips! Filips everywhere!

Gord willing.

You're not wrong.

Nope!

how. dare. you. sir.

I'd really like to see Zadina get some more minutes, spend some time on the top line in place of Mantha or Bertuzzi. I think he's earned it and I also think the players around him have earned a pointed reminder that 1) accountability is an actual thing that actually matters, 2) no one's job/role is safe, and 3) playing to their capability is all that's being asked of them.

HYPE! LGRW!

Has it cost us a top target? Did we lose the Suter-Parise sweepstakes because we didn't have enough cap space? Did we lose the Stamkos sweepstakes because we didn't have enough cap space? Would we have had a shot at Tavares? If the most damning thing we can say about the bad contracts is that the money could've been spent on different players...that's not exactly a knockout blow to Holland's credibility. "Yo! Holland! You shoulda signed Matt Niskanen and Eric Staal! Idiot!" I mean, sure. Maybe he should've. But would it have really mattered? I'm busting your balls on this because all I hear from Wings fans these days is that Holland is a colossal failure who's brought shame upon this once-great franchise and that Yzerman is the one who must set things right. And so I'm pushing you for specifics, for things that will make my blood boil and make me hate Ken Holland. And what I seem to be getting from you is "Coulda spent that money on better players." I don't even disagree! The money absolutely could've been spent on better players. I just think there's a disconnect between the "Holland must go!" fervor and the crimes he stands accused of committing, and I think it's all a bit comical. The point is that we don't have a foundation. We have Larkin, and that's a start, but it's not nearly enough. The Wings are a victim of parity; in today's league you have to spend time at the bottom. There's no way around it. If you don't have a core group of outstanding young players, you're a dead franchise walking. That's the dark heart of parity. I say it's not a big deal because the Wings were always going to end up in this hole. It was an inevitability. I absolutely buy that Holland could've handled the post-Lidstrom limbo era better than he did. But, in the absence of young superstar talent (replacements for Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Lidstrom), it ultimately didn't really matter what he did. The Cup window pretty much closed when Lidstrom left and the playoff streak ended when Datsyuk left, and now we're finally where parity dictates we must be: the basement. Now Holland has a chance to do something the "Playoffs or bust" mandate didn't allow him to do: build a contender "the right way." Get lots of draft picks, get lots of young talent, assemble a new core. He seems to have embraced the rebuild and, to me, he's done a pretty good with it thus far. Like I've said, I don't think Yzerman would be doing things much differently. I'd love to see Yzerman take over, but I'd hate to see the fans turn on him when he doesn't immediately produce a Stamkos and a Hedman and a Kucherov from a magic hat. Do they? Does it really matter? (I kid, I kid.)
