Comments like "Yzerman is lit fam, rise to the top" and real discussion goes unnoticed. It's also completely lacking in any sense of comradery or community. On LGW I know who has something between their ears and who's full of s***. I know who favors rebuilding and who favors going for the cup. I know who follows prospects and knows there stuff and who doesn't. Reddit is full of randos and you have no idea who you're talking to on a daily basis. Call it clicky and highschoolish, but I'd say the true hardcores are still at LGW. Only the fairweathers make their way to reddit. Reddit is a dying site anyway... you're about 4 or 5 years late to the party there Jiim. I give it 3 more years before most users have moved on to the next thing. Reddit lost a lot of its luster in the past 2 years as they've tried to go corporate mainstream. Same thing happened to Dig before them. If you like LGW and want something more involved for the time being, go to HF boards. Reddit is s***. 4 13dangledangle, F.Michael, Wheelchairsuperhero and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xault 272 Report post Posted August 18, 2019 I'd rather not. Reddit great for many things, but I come to LGW for the sense of community feeling reddit just doesn't have. 2 ChristopherReevesLegs and NerveDamage reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MabusIncarnate 5,344 Report post Posted August 18, 2019 I stumbled on it recently, and one of the first threads I found on the Red Wings reddit was something along the lines of "Have you ever used letsgowings.com?" and I felt obligated to reply. It is good for up to the minute news and developments, i'll give it that. I'm not huge on reddit as a platform in general though, i'm just now looking into it a bit more. 1 NerveDamage reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't normally post there, but it's still a great social aggregation website. Like facebook or any social site, they went through the period of being lawless and edgy and everyone migrated there. But, like facebook and all sites, once the user base got huge they started to try find ways to monetize and become safer for advertisers. That meant reeling in all the things that made them popular to begin with. That started like 4 or 5 years ago now. I'd say they're on their death spiral, but if you only use r/hockey or r/detroitredwings it's great for new updates if you don't wanna comb twitter.

ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted August 20, 2019 Roast of the Red Wings on Reddit today Some funny ones: Quote Be me, big Wings fan Get up and admire my picture of Yzerman, Datsyuk, Fedorov, Lidstrom, Chelios, and Hasek on the same play sof***inggood.gif Have 19 Wings Jerseys, only one for an active player unfortunately Throw on my Larkin jersey Head Downtown with my buds talking about how great Downtown Detroit is Can't tell what's a pothole, patch job, or actual road Get downtown and pay $40 for parking, still have to walk a few miles "Detroits coming back!" Game starts 20 minutes late because of the "Red Wings history" video on the jumbotron Wings score but I’m not sure, didn’t hear the goal horn Wings up 3-1 after 2 f*** yeah In our dzone for 5 minutes, one timer past Howard Perfect 2 on 1 offensive rush, Abdelkator doesn’t catch the pass Ericsson gives up the puck, break away, they score 3-3 Lose in overtime loserpoint.jpg can't even tank correctly smh “Larkin got 2 pts tonight, give him the C” "We'll return to our former glory someday" Renew my season tickets after the game Drive home saying “Driving on 75 is bumpier than when I go up north off roading” More Quote It's tough. You can't just rest on your laurels and legacy and expect that to sustain you in such a competitive environment. Others have adapted to the modern era, but you guys were stuck in the past a bit too long. Plus all those bloated and overpaying contracts you're stuck with that many people in the industry cite as huge disadvantages. I think a lot of people actually secretly want to see you do well to help out the city of Detroit itself, but a lot of us are just resigned to the fact that you'll be irrelevant for years to come. But enough about the big 3 automakers. Sigh Quote Nothing anyone says in here will hurt more than knowing Justin Abdelkader is signed through at least 2023.
