We've been blessed in this town for all our troubles...

Gordie
Mr Kaline
The Captain
Trammell/Whitaker
Barry
Lidstrom
Isiah
Datsyuk/Zetterburg

Class people that no other town has any claim to.

I'm sure I'm missing some....

I'm surprised the Cup isn't there

This all feels... a little bit over the top. It's a fuckin building. The team isn't dying.

Where's Ernie Harwell when you need him. I agree. Announce the players, show a highlight video, someone give a goodbye speech and go home.

Two former Red Wings stood in the zamboni tunnel to watch the final seconds.

Steve Yzerman and Nicklas Lidstrom. Not kidding.

It is for me too....but a LOT of people lap this stuff up.

Talking about player engagements now? Yawn

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

So weird looking at these guys and seeing how old they look. Seems like yesterday they were all still on the team and on the ice.

Another stupid use of the word "journey".

Yeah Shanny looked old.

I got bored and changed the channel. I'm going to the last pistons game at the palace tomorrow, looking forward to the game ending, waiting around for like 5 minutes and Mason getting on the microphone and saying "you guys can go now. Bye."

Nice knowing ya, Kenny.

Ahhh, the dreaded VOTE OF CONFIDENCE has finally come to the Red Wings!

Yzerman's contract is up next season, as is Holland's...

[Guest]

Hard to see Holland, Blashill in current roles when Red Wings contend

Is it that far-fetched that we know the next GM of the Detroit Red Wings will be Steve Yzerman, we just don’t happen to know exactly when that will happen? Perhaps. But based on what we saw Sunday night when the fans at the Joe cheered for Yzerman to “Come Home” and Yzerman talked so glowingly about how the new arena will help the Red Wings, it doesn’t seem as farfetched as it seemed even three months ago.

Fire Holland NOW.  Not firing him when he wouldn't step aside to make room at the top for Stevie was a catastrophic mistake.

At least we got the same number of wins the Blackhawks did in the playoffs this year.

A nice article about Dave Strader's cancer fight - for those that remember him calling Wing's games.
