What about poke and hope?

I just noticed that Frk didn't make your replaced players list.  So, it seemed like you must have liked him over de la Rose (and Ehn) and I was curious why.  Personal preference works, though.  I get it.
Now that you mention it, I would keep Ehn over Frk also.  But, I guess I just like de la Rose a little bit better, just on reflex - I didn't really think much about my previous post and de la Rose came to mind before Ehn. Although, I can see the argument that de la Rose has had more of a chance to prove his value at the NHL level than has Ehn.... so maybe de la Rose is what he is and we know that, but Ehn might have more to show (positively) that we haven't seen.
I don't hate Frk or anything, I just think de la Rose or Ehn would be better options as a reserve forward for Detroit next season.  I was a little surprised that they brought Frk back this season, to be honest.
 

Oh, no, sorry.  I don't think the league is rigged or biased.  I didn't think the officiating was particularly poor in this game either.  I did think the embellishment call on Athanasiou was bad.  If you thought it was a good call, that's cool.  We don't have to agree and I don't take issue with you opinion on that.
It's not that your point is an awful one... whiny fans are annoying and those of us that whine probably should try to do that less... but, maybe if you approach the subject with less arrogance and condescension, you'd have better results.  That's, of course, assuming that you were actually trying to effect change in people.  If you were just trying to piss everyone off, you were obviously quite effective.
Plus, just my opinion, but I don't believe that the vast majority of fans (or anyone on here) actually think the league is rigged or the refs are biased.  People just respond in the heat of the moment with emotion.  I mean, different things are big deals to different people... but maybe just try not to care so much about it.  I doubt it's going to go away.

There's no such thing as a non-whiny fan base.

Whatever became of that 'down vote' button...

It's called entertainment.  I thought it was hilarious and hope they do it again and it does have it's place in the game.

Bahahaha - Hanta Yo Baby!!  I wonder if Caps fans can laugh about that now that they've finally won...

Would've been better if Zajac came out if that with fewer teeth, though

Miroslav?

OOOooohhh!   lol

Stupid penalties.  Still had chances and failed to capitalize.

Just don't take a stupid amount of idiotic penalties and that period is a lot different

STOP TAKING PENALTIES YOU FOOLS

Not sure they could've been much worse this period.  Making Carolina look like Cup winners.

One of my favorite things about Joel Quenneville for a long time was that he always lost to the Red Wings in the playoffs...and then the Wings would go on to win the Cup
Coach Q lost to Red Wings in round 1 with St. Louis in 1997
Coach Q lost to Red Wings in round 2 with St. Louis in 1998
Coach Q lost to Red Wings in round 2 with St. Louis in 2002
Coach Q lost to Red Wings in round 2 with Colorado in 2008
Coach Q lost to Red Wings in WCF with Chicago in 2009... well, for a while they won the Cup.  At least they made the finals.
Almost had him in 2013 too...
 
If it had actually happened, my favorite thing would be if he'd actually fought Joe Kocur in that game where Kocur threw the chair on the ice.

Lol Trevor Daley is livid

Good call

FS Ohio announcers keep pronouncing Frk 'Frick'
