Wings fans calling Chicago "little brother" is essentially what Michigan fans have been doing to State for the past few years.

Why you do dis?

What in the world is the thread title supposed to mean????????

I would say Chicago has become the big brother lately given their success and our lack thereof.

We aren't even brothers, anymore.

 

[Frk It]

My bad I'm slow today. If it would have been-- Chicago vs Detroit: "The return of little brother" I probably would've been able to piece it together.

But yeah I don't like of thinking of Chicago as our "brother" haha.

Some guys on that team weren't alive for the last time we missed the playoffs. Pshh about time you caught up Chicago

Daniel Alfredsson taking part in #RedWings practice for first time in nearly two weeks. Been out 5 games (back spasms).

Somehow it seems like longer than that.

Wings lose 3-1

Wings lose 3-1

Is 3-1 your standard prediction now?

It's easier to just spam the same prediction over and over instead of post insight and analysis to come to a conclusion.

 

[LarKing]

So now Kronwall and Howard are out? LOL can we just forfeit to give our players more rest?

It just feels like a probable result against these high-end western teams... Tight/even/lucky in the 1st, 0-0 or 1-1... grind game in the 2nd... then opponent score 1 goal in the third and add another one late in the third or an empty netter --> End Result 3-1 loss.

#RedWings Daniel Alfredsson rules out Wednesday, possible for Friday.

Alfredsson as expected won't play tomorrow. Needs some more practice time.

I feel like if we added up all your GDT predictions you would be estimating the wings to go like 10-70-2 over a full season.

Jonas Gustavsson good to play Wednesday when #RedWings host Chicago

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

call up tootoo, callahan and ferraro somehow

demote eaves, waive sammy, cleary to the injury list(somehow)

start a 4th line of toots-glendening and callahan and see what happens

Only to get hurt again I bet... just shut him down/have surgery, his groin's are done.

Sounds good to me. Eaves hasn't been too bad though.

Gustavsson confirms he is ready to play tomorrow. Hasn't been told yet if he'll start.

It makes no difference because our opponent is just better. Tootoo can't do anything about that unless he and Callahan manage to pot a bunch of goals.

Soup, I could care less if they lose the game because they're not gonna win it with no datsyuk, no alffie, no franzen, no weiss, no howie

but what they can do is make it damn hard on the hawks to beat us, they still will win, but they wont walk away laughing thinking it was a cake walk
