They've proven so much the last couple of years.

I knew I should not have laughed at Yan and his stray cat story

At least, this one doesn't look injured...just very very hungry



I went back to the dépanneur and bought a can of Friskies.

Hall would be closer to Franzen.

gotta love golf coverage. 7 minutes of British Open highlights on Sportsnet this morning. when they finally show the leader board, the top 2 guys were not featured in a single highlight, half of which were obviously Tiger Woods.

Not even close.
Hall equals future superstar.

They have some GREAT pieces no matter despite Cloutier being an idiot.

Hall will be closer to Zetterberg than either Franzen or Holmstrom.

They definitely have the building blocks but need to fill holes and their management has thus far been unable to even SEE the holes.

I think they go on a bit of a run this season. It would be disappointing if they miss the playoffs.

Yeah, tanking for 5 years and firing their coach when the team sucks is exactly the Red Wings model

How old's Clouts?

Only a year after making the Finals, the Red Wings finished a distant fifth, 24 points out of the playoffs. It was the beginning of a slump from which they would not emerge for almost 20 years. Between 1967 and 1983, Detroit only made the playoffs twice, winning one series. From 1968 to 1982, the Wings had 14 head coaches (not counting interim coaches), with none lasting more than three seasons. In contrast, their first six full-time coaches – Art Duncan, Adams, Ivan, Jimmy Skinner and Abel – covered a 42–year period. During this dark era in franchise history, the team was derisively known as the "Dead Wings" or "Dead Things".
