    lol Vanek was our top goal scorer this year and we traded him for a conditional third round draft pick and some scrub AHL player. The 2017 draft class is nothing to build from so most of these draft picks are a waste, especially with Vegas jumping in the mix. I love the fact that people hate the wings and our fans, just will make it 10 times better when we come back in three years and start our streak over again.

    If Vanek is the team's leading scorer, the team sucks.

    Damn Hawks are looking good; 9 out of the last 10. Kaner with 2 hat tricks in 3 games. Seem to be clicking as a team the last month, I would not count us out just yet.

    I have never dismissed the Hawks, it only takes one loss to lose the home ice advantage.

    Ugh tough loss 0-1.

    I do not understand the coach game plan. When we are in the attacking zone, he uses three guys the blue-line, two forwards in the corners, then they alternate who is in front of the net. I don't know why he keeps doing that, it does not work. So frustrating. I've never seen that done anywhere before, and obviously we know why.

    The guys in the corner alternate who is in front of net? that is odd...

    you would think they would just do the standard four corners with the center floating around looking for tips and rebounds.

    I remember one tournament where my team got blown out in the first game 8-2. We ended up winning the rest of our games and met the same team that whopped us in the first game for the finals. We ended up winning that game and taking home the trophy for the tournament, man I miss organized hockey.

    Yeah I'm not sure what the guys thinking. You're exactly right no one is in front of the net. The guys are going to the corner, and winning the one on one battles, but there's no one in front of the net to pass it to.
    Apparently he's trying to reinvent the wheel.
    Hoping for a turnaround today. A 6 PM puck drop.

    I tried telling my son enjoy every single second of it, because once you graduate next year, it's all over.

    Oh the joys of coaching, win and everybody thinks that you are great, lose and people question every play call.

    Nope, I don't flip flop. We won state last year, and I thought the coach was a ****** bag. We win I think he's a ****** bag, we lose I think he's a ****** bag.

    I can't stand the way he coaches and his over use of certain players.

    Well my team ended up winning our beer league :chewy:and I scored which is always a plus.

    On a sad note, the streak is officially over at 25 years and the Wings are out of the playoffs, time for a new start in a new arena!

    I saw the peta people wanted the octopus throwing to stop, I don't think they realize that live octopus are not being thrown out, and on the other hand I doubt most of the octopus throwers even know why it is an octopus is being thrown out there.
