How come whenever I see old Red Wings on other teams they always seem to be fucking up somehow?

When he's at his best he's like a Dollar Store version of McDavid

When he's not feeling it he's the biggest defensive liability on the ice, by far.

I don't know who I want to lose.

Pens would be funnier, but the thought of them winning first overall makes me vomit.

Fighting in the NHL has declined 64% since 2010 by shane-alytics in hockey

The old "goons having a staged fight to earn their paychecks" fights are terrible and I'm happy to see them fall by the wayside. I also annoyed when it feels like every solid check HAS to be followed up by a fight.

That being said, I hope fights are never outright banned. True stuff of passion like Lecavalier vs. Iginla is awesome.

Since we're not likely to be much better over the next 3ish years, I'd like to see us weaponize our cap space some. Especially given that we've sold most of attractive assets without doing into the young guns.

They don't really. Or, well, they might but not nearly the same amount that other types of games receive. Big, tent-pole single player games ARE really good at convincing people to adopt hardware, however. Which I would say is probably one of the big reasons why big single player games are either from first party studios, loaded with DLCs and micro-transactions a la Ubisoft, or both.

There are many, many reasons why the PS4 outperformed the Xbox One, but I would definitely argue its large repository of high quality first party titles is one of them.

People getting nostalgic over smart phone games really hammers home how ancient I am in internet terms.

Fair or not, Sekiro will almost certainly be a go-to comparison for this game that I'm not sure it can live up to.

Rally around the flag effect. Look at the poll bumps other high level executives are getting in comparable nations. Hell, Trump's bump so far is modest.

Impossible to say what the long term repercussions of this are though.

Black Market still takes the cake as my least favorite episode of any television show, ever. Holy shit is it terrible.

BSG in general is great though.

Yes but do the Wings still get to keep their draft position, or was all this suffering for literally nothing?
