    Damn Detroit, 10-1? I have a ton of respect for what Ken Holland has done, but Wings need to move in a different direction.

    He's one of the most overrated executives in sports. He can't comprehend how to build a roster in the cap era

    Or the team can act like some damn professionals and show some effort. Utterly disgraceful.

    Funny thing is that's like 2 weeks worth of goals for the Habs in one night

    Expect for, you know, the fact they went to back to back Cup finals (and won 1) in the cap era.

    With Nick, Pasha, and Z.

    If you look at that roster, with the contracts for Abdelkader, Helm, Ericsson, and Dekeyser, among others, it's pretty clear that he can't adapt.

    There wasn’t some exemption for those 3 guys that allowed Detroit to go over the cap to pay them. They were part of making the cap work too.

    Yeah, 3rd worst goal differential with arguably the least talented roster in the league, and within $200k of the cap just screams "great management".

    Missed the playoffs for the first time in the cap era last year too.

    But yeah, he’s overrated.

    Yeah, those 3 playoff series wins in 7 seasons. Congrats on all those Music City Bowls.

    Detroit hasn't gone to spring with a pitcher's chance of winning anything since Lidstrom retired, and that might be a little lenient.

    Gotta think Ottawa will flip Duchene, was moronic getting him, they were bad before and have been worse since.

    As someone with a deep appreciation for ridiculous things, the Jets playing and singing along to "My Heart Will Go On" in the room after wins is pretty impressive.

    Grubbauer vs Pavalec might have been the best goalkeeper head to head I've watched this year. Go figure.

    I like how we match up with the Blues. And pretty cool that we are showing last year wasn't fluke. I just dread the line of horrible musicians ready to destroy the Anthem and outdoor concerts by tone deaf singers and fans

    USA Canada was a hoot, but you really can't play a game that counts in a major international competition outside where they're clearing snow off the surface every 7 minutes.

    The decent return the Rangers could've hoped for for Big [penis] Rick took a big hit with Patches being more or less guaranteed to be leaving Montreal

    Anthony Duclair will be a star for Chicago.
