Ok, so I remembered I had saved several photos from the 2009 Photoshop war we had done against the Hawks when we beat them. I don't know who the authors of all of these are so please, if you did one of these let me know right away so I can add the credit. Enjoy!

Do they remember when they had shame? Of course, most of them don't since they still have fresh tags on their jerseys

A reference to Blagojevich, which I still think is funny since I live here and know how corrupt this town is.

I know I made this one because I was really into Arrested Development at the time....

I don't know what this is, but it's awesome

Obviously, this is a reference to that year but I still chuckled since the Ducks were in there

Although the Hawks did win the cup in 2010, this is still funny

This one is MY FAVORITE

Meh, no photo editing needed here

I don't know if these are archived or not, sorry if they are, but they are pretty cool.

So sick, I must know who made this one!

LOL random? But funny

Ok, so Nick is gone but this is still amazing am I right?

You know your boy rocks #25 and has all year, right?

No matter what happens, I'm proud of this team. With all the changes, all the kids, and the short season with next to no training camp and no pre season. The way they responded when in a situation where they had to win out the last 4 games of the season just to make the playoffs. Having the kids learn playoff intensity on the fly and make this a hell of a series that WILL go to game 7. 

Love the direction this Wings squad is going, and even if no moves are made, this team will be even better next year. 

When most teams rebuild, they dwell in the basement for a few seasons. When the Wings rebuild, we give the #2 seed all they can handle in the playoffs. And when we force game 7, anything can happen! BELIEVE

I complain about Holland. That's about it. I root for the players.

From just a cursory search:

It's too bad Ken Holland is TOO STUPID, or we'd have many more good playoff runs and few more cups to show for it.

Holmstrom = WTF? This guys is SO USELESS. Why is he around still?
Bertuzzi = WTF? This guy is Tomas Holmstrom, but .25 mph faster.
Stuart = WTF? Why does anybody care that he wants to go to the West Coast? He's horrible. Great. Go ruin San Jose or L.A.
Hudler = WTF? This guy is 5 foot 6. He belongs in the McDonald's playland. Not in the Winged Wheel.
Conklin = WTF. Enough said.
Jimmy Howard = WTF? This guy isn't a top 10 goalie. He should be the BACK-UP. Not the Starter.

If Sammy makes us bigger and stronger, im afraid. He is the biggest floater in the league. Absolute ZERO playoff value. Does anyone honestly believe the team, as it stands now, can get past the first round?

If all of these "prospects" were so good, they'd be with the team. You dont hold talent thats nhl ready back. You hold talent that is not nhl ready back. Unfortunately, if your not nhl ready by 21 or 22, odds are your "talent" isnt nhl caliber talent.

Tootoo, gustavson, samuelsson, bertuzzi, and quincey. 13 million per year for JUNK. Great job Holland.

Yah. I think Fil, Hank, and Dats need to stay put still. Cleary and Franzen are expendable.

If our amazing amount of young talent is so amazing, why are giys like Holmstrom, Bertuzzi, Tootoo, Eaves, Miller, and Samuelsson getting the minutes? People need to wake up and realize that Tatar, Nyquist, Brunner, etc all would have had 60-80 games played last year if they were so amazing. The Darren Helms and Dwight Kings of hockey dont get held bacl for development long, much less the Datsyuks and Kopitars.

Should I keep going?

Like I said, I understand getting upset when a team is losing or not looking good, then feeling more optimistic when they actually play well.  But spare me the lectures on how people should post just because you're feeling good about the team. 

One last one.  You claim:

Like I said, Holland is my complaint. Ericsson? Nope. You all bashed him. I didn't. Emmerton? Nope. Kindl? Nope. Quincey? Nope. Cleary? Maybe a little razzing, but the older guys having their careers extended (Holmstrom, Bert, Sammy, Clearly, etc) beyond their usefulness is all on Ken Holland. Not the player's fault that they got old / washed up.

But...

People praying to Ericcson to become a solid d man? Please. This guy is a 6th dman. Not a top 4.

Now that the Wings have gone beyond all our rational expectations, can the people who are posting things like "God, we are awful" please just cool it for the rest of the playoffs? We are going to get scored on. And we are going to lose games. That's not Kind. That's not Samuelson. That's not Howard. THAT'S F$%KING SPORTS, PEOPLE. Now is the time to cheer for the Wings. Not trash them. We've got a good squad.

Do I need to go dig up all the posts of you complaining?

Just because you've decided to be all sunshine about the Wings now that they've evened the series doesn't mean everyone here needs to fall in line with whatever way the winds have blown your opinion today.  Your newfound optimism is no different than people venting saying the Wings suck after a tough loss.

I absolutely knew what you were doing, unfortunately, the sarcasm face on here isn't as good as the one on HFB

I don't know if there is any highlight videos for broadcasting, but Pierre was basically drooling over the Wings' defensive zone breakout passes, mainly DeKeyser. Then later he overheard Abby chirping at Doan and Doan replied "You have 11 points playing with Datsyuk, you should be ashamed of yourself."

Play reflects personality. Someone like franzen slacks off. Ie needs a kick in ass. Dat and z bring it every night that y they don't. Watch a game you might learn something.

 

No, no it doesn't.  I'm guessing you've never read many sports autobiographies?  Or at least the good ones, not the by-the-numbers ghostwritten ones.  Because if you had, you would know what a complete fallacy this is.  You'd learn about the swashbuckling, fearless player who was a terrified crybaby in the dressing room.  You'd learn about the player who had ice in his veins when the game was on the line, but would be so nervous before every game he'd be throwing up.  The dressing room bully who would hide out on the pitch ("don't pass that bloody white thing to me" syndrome).  The innocent patsy whose career the coach destroys to make a point to the rest of the team. 

I can think of countless examples in all sports the buck the trend.  Babcock, with his sports pyschology background understands this.  Tough guys like Tortarella and Keenan don't.

This should be the Special Olympics here. IIRC Vancouver blows at shootouts too (except for now of course).

Franzen is such a talented power forward. I just wish he had that grittiness that guys like clarkson and callahan have

Franzen's talent + Cleary's drive and desire =  pretty good hockey player.

We have the technology, we can build him...
