It's funny you have something to say, Fish, most of this nonsense comes from your Debbie Downer posts. You should give porn a shot, being a sports fan really isn't cut out for you.

After this historic meltdown, the Red Wings are the first team in sports history to be eliminated from the playoffs after being just 12% of the way through the season. Who is to blame for this embarrassing monstrosity?

I personally would like to take a cheese grater to my Red Wings tattoo for making me represent such a poor run failure of an organization. I'm off to San Jose or Washington where I can get some real success in the playoffs...

i read previously that the wild didn't deserve a point out of this game.

i'd argue the exact opposite.

the wings played like total morons and didn't deserve a damn thing.

this team is embarrassing.

So are you... why are you still here?

Maybe Detroit should be more like Toronto and have an annual fire sale, I mean, trades definitely guarantee success.

Do you know what I like about the Red Wings? In my 15+ years as a fan, I've never seen them miss the playoffs, raise four Cups, produce some of the best players that this and any generation will ever see, do the unthinkable and put teams together like 2002 and even the 2008 squad in the salary cap era that missed another cup by one game, a GM who doesn't make knee-jerk reactions and trade assets for rentals and has faith that the team's they have will be successful.

The negativity on this board blows myf****** mind. The Wings haven't had it easy like the Hawks, Penguins and Capitals who have put their fans through hell while piling up draft picks that finally led to some success. They put good teams together with good late drafting and signing key free agents.

No wonder no one respects Wings fans... the comments on this thread just confirm the fact that everyone thinks that they're arrogant, spoiled fans. It's three weeks into thef****** season... knock this s*** off.

I don't care if the Wings win it all or miss the playoffs, I'll continue to watch these guys do this thing and enjoy Lidstrom's potential last season while everyone attempts to kill themselves after EVERY SINGLE LOSS.

make more bad jokes, guys!  that will help ease the pain when holland does nothing at the deadline and the wings lose to the sharks in the playoffs for a 3rd straight season.

bra-vo!

Maybe if you can't hack all of this failure, you should root for the Sharks.

I now officially hate Burns, and I once really liked him.

Tool.

It's amazing how fast a once respectable player turns into a piece of s*** after jumping on a squad like this.

The Sharks can have all of their dumb luckj and favorable officiating... I'll take satisfaction knowing these douches will never win the Stanley Cup.

Getting away from long tenured players and those who spent their career with the Wings, I would go with Brett Hull... I always loved that guy and loved him even more on the Wings.

I loved the "Two Kids and a Goat" line, that's where I fell in love with Datsyuk <3.

You're joking, right?  I was responding to Mason getting put back into the game after supposedly being pulled because of an injury.  Then I compared that to another sport and said that it can't happen in baseball - once you're pulled, you don't get put back in the game, even if turns out nothing was really wrong.  

Didn't think I was speaking Greek, there.

Goalies can rotate in and out... especially if there is an injury. Two goalies suited up, not a bullpen worth.

Besides, don't you remember on D2 when Goldberg got pulled for Julie the Cat and she immediately got tossed so Goldberg came back in?

Craplin did not even look like he belonged in the NHL Saturday and a shut out against the Avs is hardly worth writing home about.

You're right, that one loss defined his whole career and shutouts don't come easy no matter who you're playing. Last I checked, the Avs are off to quite the start, too.

Since the market is flooded with so many legit backups, who would you prefer to see out there with Conks salary?

They were all special in their own way, 2008 was the most satisfying for me.

Given that it was post lockout, post Yzerman, Shanahan and Federov and the re-emergence of Osgood in the playoffs that season. It all but debunked the theory that the Wings only "buy championships." It was proof that the Wings are a well run organization that drafts well, treats veterans well and is indeed the true "Hockeytown."

I'm working on this thing... I'm still kicking around a few ideas on what to do with the rest of it.
