SweWings

I don't mind the attitude. It's rude sure but way better than Axelsson or Omark. You think Osgood really cares what this pip-squeek thinks? You think Howard will be insulted by this, or see it more as a reason to play better? He didn't dump on the team and management then burn his bridges like Axelsson and he didn't insult the GM and his teammates the way Omark did. In an organization like the Detroit Red Wings, yes you need to show respect, but a little smack talk never hurt anyone. Sure, he still needs to prove that he should get to play for the big boys up in the NHL, but if whether he shows his thing in the SEL, KHL or AHL doesn't matter much to me and given his success so far this season and the response from Håkan Andersson seems optimistic to say the least. It's more important that he takes the No. 1 spot with the national team...

What team wouldn't?

I want him to succeed obviously but still, I saw the article and then this thread and my immediate gut response was: "NO!! NOT AGAIN!!"

I think they've tried to fix it... it didn't work very well so now they're supplementing by attracting other customers. Sounds like a pretty good idea.

While the charity work is the best part, I really like the tv show and was pleasantly surprised

Financially, the top tier teams can still easily carry the bottom teams... I wonder how long this will be accepted though, especially if another team joins the ranks of Phoenix...

Official streams, probably not. Fans-uploaded streams, sure.

I haven't actually managed to watch more than one game so far this season; how have Kindl and Janik worked out so far?

Yeah, it kinda looked like Lilja gave it away. I mean Datsyuk is Datsyuk but still...

Seems like an ok amount. The guy doesn't have any history of doing anything remotely close to this so that likely limited the amount of games to 6. How many games do you think these guys would've gotten?

Given that the other lines are doing fine there isn't any easy way to mix it up. Probably best to leave them be a few more games and see what happens. Fixed it.

Kanye might not be the best person to quote in matters of respect and honoring people...

Out of all the teams in the league... why LA I wonder... Seattle could build a nice local thing with Vancouver. I really don't get why there isn't a team there. Oh and the city size thing, check metropolitan areas, Atlanta is kinda big

but he's the best poster in LGW history!!!?!?

More than 4?

But the wings are also "red". The Red Wings can be either white or red... black is very iffy for me and this blue abomination... I don't really know what I'd do if I saw one... probably dye it red with the wearer's blood.

But if they lose, they don't really get away with it.

WHAT! A! GAME! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Very admirable.

Edmonton is going to be a new team this season that's for sure.

YES!! Getting more and more hyped about this season with every passing day!!!

His shot is that good? Should've kept him around then...

I like the sound of Joakim Andersson... gonna start paying a bit more attention

Difficult to say given that he only played 13 games for them... But I see your point. Edit. Forgot the play-offs. Meh, doesn't really change my thought.
