Am I the only one who thinks we didn't play that bad as a team?  For the most part anyways.  Our D wasn't so great and we didn't throw enough rubber at Crawford, but I thought we were good in finishing our checks, being hungry on the puck, and we had good goaltending.  Watching that game, I wasn't pissed off because Chicago dominated us; I wouldn't have made that conclusion.  They played an overall better game than we did, but I've seen much worse on-ice products from the Wings this year than that.  I liked our compete level.

Hey everyone, I don't post to the site very often, but I do visit almost everyday, and enjoy reading the insight posted by the folks who visit the site. I came across this video tonight that recaps the last 22 years of playoff appearances made by our beloved Red Wings, and felt the need to share with everybody in this hockey community. Hopefully you take the 22 minutes and 22 seconds (ironic, huh?) that it takes to watch the video in its entirety, and enjoy it as much as I did! Go Wings!

 

 

 

 

Stream tsn or cbc depending on which broadcast gets the wings series. (probably tsn)

Mute Button.  Turn on Ken Kal.  Problem Solved.

Classy Selanne taking a smart penalty.

I hope this clown plays his last game tonight as a loser on his home ice.

Nothings over...was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour?

Gonna be a crazy atmosphere at the Joe Friday....hope we put on a good show!!

 

It was the Swiss who bombed Pearl Harbor.

Feel bad for the people who paid to watch them at the Joe.  

 

Nice bunny hop there.

Brendan Smith D-

Yip, Beck, Fisher, and Hornquist are questionable for tonight's game.

It would seem the stars have aligned for our Wings this day.  MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

 

Go Wings! 

Hate eddie olczyk so damn much. Tries to find any negative thing he can with the Wings.

Root for Dallas to win in regulation tomorrow. Of course, the Red Wings need two points as well for that to matter.

Have my cheer cheatsheet

Even though I knew there was going to be a lockout, I bought WC tickets.  They went on sale in August last year, before the lockout was official, and there was no way I was going to chance missing it.  When I had the option after the game was officially canceled, I retained my tickets, because for me, this is a once in a life time opportunity.  People in Michigan have substantially more opportunities to attend Wings' games than I do, so when I get the chance and the means to go...I go.  I've been to 8-9 Wings' games and only one was at the Joe, so this is a big deal for me.  I'm just hoping they release the Winter Festival schedule so I can plan my trip already.

 

I would rather take the $400 I would spend on the NHL Winter Classic tickets, go downtown Detroit, and spend that money watching the game at a local restaurant or bar.  I would spend about $100 there, and then go to the next bar or restaurant, watch the game and drop another $100.  In the end, I would have given $400 to the people who were really affected by the lockout and not the NHL or NHLPA.

 

I know, it all comes down to personal preference and I don't disagree with what you are doing.  I do hope you enjoy the Winter Classic.  I am just venting at this point, and probably will be for a little bit longer.  The wounds are still fresh.

To me, Iginla's choice of Pittsburgh over Boston (which clearly had the better trade offer) is just a big middle finger to Calgary. If he truly cared about bettering Calgary as he was leaving, Boston would have been the choice. I've never liked Iginla, seen too much dirty goonery from him (spearing, fighting while readjusting his visor as he does so, etc.). Only thing he needs to learn to fit in on that Pittsburgh squad is a good reverse 1 1/2 somersault to draw some penalties.
