GDT: Farewell to the Joe 5 PM EST

[acetehubernoob]

I really just wanted them to lose for draft reasons, but screw it this is fantastic.

 

[NervousPerson]

Shots 13-2 DET. Not bad.

Out of town... Buffalo leads TB 1-0 in the 1st... Reminder, if they get a point in anyway we get the 6th best odds in the draft

anyone actively rooting for the wings to lose this game isn't a real wings fan imo. incredible emotion and atmosphere going on. essentially a playoff game

That is a very narrow perspective. It's actively cheering for long term success, not for them to lose.

At 36 years of age, Zetterberg has 51 assists on a team with one 20 goal scorer. What a year from one of my all time favourite players.

 

[Wood Stick]

God we look so good today LOL.

 

[Jusek]

God we look so good today LOL.

This is like our playoff game.

Actively rooting for our players to become better, doing better, etc, is kind of more important in my book. The team obviously didn't have a good season but trying to leave on a high note should command nothing but respect.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Wow. NJ is really, really bad. Like we thought Detroit was bad.

 

[Bondurant]

Today of all days is the day I can't get The Ticket stream nor Sirius online to work. You gotta be kiddin' me! At least there is this thread and clips of the action on NHL.com.

Great effort and goal from Riley. Last game at The Joe, first of the season and there was a note that April 9, 2016 was his last goal. Good on him.

Time to finish the Devils off and win one for every fan packing The Joe, to those of us that can't be there and for everyone who has worn the sweater inside The Joe. F all the haters of The Joe.

Let's go Wings!

 

[rx7dryver]

Man John Keating is bad at his job.

 

[Bench]

Sheahan scoring felt like a thorn being removed. Oh sweet relief.

 

[ZDH]

Wow. NJ is really, really bad. Like we thought Detroit was bad.

Yea, they're bad. Only team with bleaker present/future than the wings pretty much.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

That is a very narrow perspective. It's actively cheering for long term success, not for them to lose.

For one game, I don't see the mentality.

Like I said before, this possibly the last endearing big time moment you could have as a Wings fan for a long time. I want to experience a feel good send off for a rink that hosted so much success.

 

[HisNoodliness]

Yea, they're bad. Only team with bleaker present/future than the wings pretty much.

I'd say the Canucks are in the worst shape league-wide. Followed by the Devils, followed by us unfortunately, but that's just splitting hairs.


I can't believe Sheahan scored. He looked very relieved. I hope someone grabbed the puck for him.

 

[RedWingzz]

I really just wanted them to lose for draft reasons, but screw it this is fantastic.

Buffalo is the only team we can jump over with a win here. The Sabres are up 1-0 on Tampa. So hopefully we win and Buffalo holds onto their lead.

 

[RedWingzz]

So cheer for us and Buffalo too then today. No way you truly want us to lose the last game ever at the Joe.

And write scored in the last game at the joe. I'm sure he wants to forget the no goal streak ever happened.

Yeah I know. I've been following that game VERY closely

 

[Bondurant]

This is a man that knows how awesome he is. A great day for NHL game 1,000.

 

[OmNomNom]

nice joe louis magic you got going

odd observation, al sobotka started working for the wings in 1971, hence the 71 jersey. sobotka on the blues is also #71? is that a coincidence?

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Uh oh. TB is leading BUF 2-1 now. Not looking good.

 

[Wood Stick]

Wonder if Hank plays for Sweden in the summer. Also have Nyquist possible for them, Tats for Slovakia, a bunch of the boys for US (Abby, DK, Larkin), Mantha for Canada, Mrazek for Czech, etc, etc.

17 octopi now. peta is having a meltdown
