People won't appreciate how actually cool and good and not bad Osgood is unless we spend the next four pages passive-aggressively trumpeting the career of a sub-.915 goalie

I think I'd be totally happy with re-signing Smith (DAS collectively takes a horrified gasp) as long as the contract isn't too dumb. He was pretty much a perfect 2nd pairing guy with Skjei last year.

I remember when Smith came from Wisconsin, that hope, that possibility, that promise, that nice <40 game sample size where he managed not to poo poo his pants and hey look! They finally got that Rafalski replacement! Oh gently caress, it turns out he's actually terrible.

Whoever gives him that Jeff Finger+ money is gonna feel real smart until he is actually playing hockey after the first half season of that contract.

It's going to be Holland. He's coming home with Hudler and I'm coming home to the Lord

More Holland apologia from Detroit media.

gently caress you gently caress you gently caress you gently caress you fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucckkkkkkkkkkkkkk yoooooooooooooooooouuuuuu

quote:

The selections of Rasmussen and second-rounder Gustav Lindstrom were panned by some observers, but showed the Wings recognize their weaknesses.

They were too small and tried to get bigger. They were too old and tried to get younger. Holland respectfully disagrees with those who plopped the Wings in the "losers" category after the draft.

Yes because it hasn't become universally accepted across all four major sports over the last three decades that GMs that draft for need over talent are the ones who are bad and destroy their teams

Remember Matt Millen?? loving remember that guy or no??????????

God drat this bullshit Fire Holland and the entire Detroit sports media.

Yes and I wouldn't be shocked at all if that was the main contributor in his decline, because in games I watched last year, the ones he played the best were the ones in which he was the most aggressive

If Justin Abdelkader is the next captain of the Red Wings I'm literally done until every last piece of Holland is scrubbed from that team.

c u in 2035 when they make the playoffs again

e: I haven't bought any red wings gear, watched or attended a game since right after they lost to Tampa the first time and I almost assuredly won't until Holland is gone

Last game I went to was vs. the Islanders 1-25-16 and last one I watched on TV was probably against the Rangers that March

No professional sports championships before free agency count, especially in baseball, and I believe hockey, where teams had territorial rights to incoming players
