Guest Playmaker Report post Posted December 25, 2013 The wrapping is finally done, the stockings stuffed and Santa has dutifully eaten all the cookies set out, with not a lot of time to spare. A definite highlight of my year was finding LGW. Nothing better than passionate, informed Red Wing fans. Best board out there, hands down. Credit to the mods and all the fans who contribute. Through the ups and downs of the lockout (seems so long ago now, doesn't it?), the injury plagued shortened season, the unexpected playoff run, the crazy offseason and onto the so far disappointing 2013-14 season, it's been a pleasure. Merry Christmas to everyone here at LGW. Next up, Winter Classic and hopefully better health for the Red Wings and another good playoff run. 12 55fan, derblaueClaus, MabusIncarnate and 9 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted December 25, 2013 I second that. Thanks to Matt and the mods for giving us this great place. Thanks to all the in-staters who have the info for all us out-of-market people. Thanks to the friends- new and old- and people who "watch" the games with me. For those who are celebrating today, may you enjoy time with family/friends and get joy from the gifts you give and receive (thanks, Loo! I'll be toasting you!). May you all have a wonderful 2014, filled with health, wealth, dreams that come true, and many Red Wings victories to celebrate. 8 BottleOfSmoke, F.Michael, KATIEBARTHEDOOR24 and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RyaN_84 Report post Posted December 26, 2013 This thread should be moved to the Water Cooler section. that is what I originally thought too but since its a dedicated to Wings fans of one of the greatest sporting franchises ever...why not keep it in general discussion! 1 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
