He turned down a big multi year deal from Pittsburgh to sign with Detrioit because he wanted to win the Cup and knew that signing with Penguins again for that deal would've prevented them from keeping that team intact to make a Cup run. He has signed with teams with the one goal of winning the Cup and I'm happy he was able to do so in Chicago. He has been nothing but class and a great team player while in Chicago.
If anybody is a sellout it's Sergei Federov.
Always follows the money. I will give the guy credit; he is consistent. He's played on so many teams he could retire with the whole league by this point.
Sergei was my favorite Red Wing growing up. People need to get over it. He thought he was good enough to be a first option and I can't blame him. He was the most talented player on the team. He was truly a two way player. I forgot which coach/front office guy said throw him on the blueline for a full season and he could win a Norris.
Piss
Fuck.
Brendan Smith just having a wretched playoffs so far
TIED FUCKERS
Brunner!!!! 1-1!
Brunner!
Scratch that, YES!!! BRUNNER!!!
GOOOALLL!! ! YEAH BRUNNER!
including those mentally challenged Bears fans
Thanks dude.
Show those true colors. Making mentally challenged joke comments is cool.
one of the reasons ill never go back to that city for a game ever again. Bears fans are among my top 10 for most obnoxious and rude fan bases in the NFL. Ill let our current record vs you though speak for itself it's all good.
The guy making light of the mentally challenged is telling me to grow up? Priceless.
intelligence to come up with a a better chant than Detroit sucks? Guess not.
All they got
Umm. What's that one chant that ends with "Youuu s***!!" They do at Michigan stadium? Lets not be ignorant. Fans do dumb chants everywhere.
That was huge to answer so quickly.
Not so fast my friend! Brunner ties it! GO WINGS!
Wings PP!
I'm an hour south of Chicago and I can't watch the game because its only on NBC Sports Network and I have Dish Network. Fuckin fuck.
Why in the hell do you have DISH?!
Interested in switching to Directv? We can both get some bill credit if i refer you
Too much time left on my contract. I'm not giving them $300 to terminate it. I just don't understand why this isn't also on Comcast Sports Net.
Ugh yeah your screwed at this point.
There was literally no penalty on Nyquist. Fucking pathetic. Great comeback goal.
Nice save by Howard.
United Center..where we lost to Wisconsin in match :(
How is that not a major? Hit to the head, come on!
Shoot the damn puck Cleary!
Yeah, too much looking for the perfect pass right now and not enough getting the puck on the net
Why the hell didn't cleary shoot that?
Had some good chances on both power plays. Positive sign, but gotta bury one of those
I think Joel Quinneville came to my house and tried to sell me a vacuum one time.
Don't waste given chances! Especially after the way that Anaheim series went. You get chances like that, bury it!
Does Chicago's arena always sound like a library? This is pretty sad.
I'm not sure whether they take the Red Wings seriously or not.
Well they fucking better
Not a bad first period. Some good chances and I like the physical play the wings were bringing. The only physical play chicago really brought were head shots...
Fucking puck. Other than good job boys
LGRW!!
F U Hossa. Traitor.
I'm glad to see us going out there and hitting again. Kronwall is gonna pop somebody out there tonight "cough" Shaw or Rostival. He's almost connected with somebody tonight he won't miss twice. Detroit needs to start being an enforcer like team again. I love seeing our boys terrifying our opponents with big hits. When McCarty, LaPointe, Fischer and Murphy played they used the body and for the opposition it was ugly.
The Wings are definitely hitting the Hawks. No one should be complaining about calls not being made against Chicago: the Red Wings have definitely been the most physical team out there.
Just because one team is being more physical than the other does not mean that team is committing penalties.
I like the way the Wings have been playing offensively over the past 4-5 games, but if we keep turning the puck over in our own zone like we have been, we have no chance of advancing.
Ericsson is not playing well tonight - get the puck out!!!
