Euro_Twins 4,476 Report post Posted December 21, 2017 Simple question. Would you rather the wings be a top team in the league now and for years to come, and never win the last cups? Or be stuck with the current team and have the memories of 97-08? Something to discuss while we suck lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think DeHaan and Cole could put the team over the top... of the mediocre team list. It would ensure a middle of the pack finish for the next 5 years 1 kliq reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckbags 863 Report post Posted December 22, 2017 26 years as a fan and I wouldn't trade the 4 cups for anything. So many cool memories as a fan. Great players, great games, great fans. . If you've been a Red Wings fan long enough you've been spoiled by a very classy and successful franchise. Good things all have to come to an end and it's a totally different perspective and I look forward to the years ahead even if some of them are pretty lean. Cheers to another cycle of 25+ years. 2 kliq and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just with everyone so upset about how bad we are, I thought it would be an interesting question/debate. 1 kliq reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neomaxizoomdweebie 3,083 Report post Posted December 23, 2017 I chose B. Wings won 4 cups in just over ten years and have been going downhill for almpst another 10. I wouldnt even mind another 10 years of suck if it meant another 4 cups in 10 years thereafter. 1 kliq reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the real world we call that "capable GM who's gonna fix your organization in short order" a diamond in the rough, because reality is only that simple and efficient in your schoolgirl daydreams. 1 kickazz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
