Jimmy is gonna ask the Illitch family if he can be a Tiger next season instead

They’d probably say yea 

[Dabura 12,206]

I feel like there should be an official asterisk next to Kucherov's stats line this season. Yes, he's put up a ton of points, but at least 80 of those points were gifted to him by the Wings.

MOOOOOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MabusIncarnate 5,344]

5-4.. Rass got it I think. Zadina could have a hat trick tonight for all his amazing chances.

[Dabura 12,206]

Zadina is good.

[MabusIncarnate 5,344]

Wow, exciting finish. Zadina wants it so bad, leave a lasting impression before heading to GR

[Dabura 12,206]

• Rasmussen (8) from Vanek (20) and Kronwall (19) - TBL 5, DET 4

[puckloo39 5,686]

he really wants a goal here.... good for the crowd at LCA, making lots of noise for our boyz....

[MabusIncarnate 5,344]

Valiant effort, hard fought loss.

[Dabura 12,206]

Game over. Wings lose...and Sens win! The tank is intact!

I'm not trying to argue with you guys.  All I said was basically "Lol the Wings are really bad."  Then I got the response of "Well, it's more that Tampa is really good."  It seemed to challenge the validity of my post, so I defended my statement.  Just because Tampa is awesome doesn't mean Detroit doesn't suck.  They are both equally true, imo.  Anyway, hopefully not for too many more seasons.

No, I don't think anyone disagrees that we suck

That said - what do you want, or expect to happen at this point of the season? This team needs a handful of high-end quality players, AND most likely better coaching.

And we're missing Larkin and Green.

Moral victories are for losers, but this was a decent showing from a skeleton crew Wings team.

Wings are the best team in the league. I dunno what you're smoking.

I get where you're coming from - no worries considering the frustration being a Wings fan today.

There's really not much to expect - we need MASSIVE luck at the future draft/s, and HOPEFULLY our young guys can develop into sumthin that resembles NHL talent.

The only bright side is that we're not alone (Edmonton, Buffalo, Florida, and a few others) are in the same boat...Hell - look at Toronto - a bunch of pretty-boy millennials that'll once again get knocked outta the 1st round.

[F.Michael 4,590]

 

Vanek in the post game interview...What's the point - he's not gonna be here next season.....Right?

[Dabura 12,206]

Press Z to pay respects to Zadina.

We'll miss you, dude. Do some '80s training montages over the summer and come to training camp dressed like Bane.

YAS Z SLAAAYYY

[Dabura 12,206]

Looks like we have a scoring change: Vanek and Kronwall Zadina with the assists on Rasmussen's goal.

Missed this one.  Zadina looked good eh?

Wasn't exactly an unholy terror, but he was pretty dangerous at times and he was rarely/never dangerous in a bad way (i.e. defensively). Made some good things happen, easily could've had a three-point night.

His future looks bright. The HYPE! is real.

[GMRwings1983 8,793]

We traded Tampa the pick that became Vasilevsky.  Could have had Kucherov as well.  Seems like they don't need high draft picks to find franchise players.

Is that so?  Those teams all have franchise players already.

I know you guys want the Wings to lose.  I don't.  This makes me sad.

I agree. There is absolutely no benefit to establishing a losing culture. None.

Which is why tanking in order to rebuild is a complete fallacy. You dont have to suck in order to draft good players.

And they still suck.

Not really.  18.5% odds are a lot better than 9% odds.  If we get stupid at the end like we did last year, we could find ourselves in the 4th spot instead of 2nd or first.  I hate the fact that our brass doesn't realize how much Dahlin mattered.  Dahlin + Hughes and our rebuild would have been expedited 5-7 years.
