Thanks for your time in Red Wings and good luck in Colorado!

 

[Chris 84]

thanks for the memories...

sad to see both glendening and helm leave. they have been warriors for us. not saying that we should have brought helm back, but sad all the same. was a great pker/bottom 6 guy in his day. and of course, a stanley cup champion with us.

 

[Squirrel in the Hole]

The times, they are a-changing. Tanguay's a coach here, Helm's a skater for the Avs....

 

[ShelbyZ]

There goes the last member of the 2008 Cup team. Hopefully I didn't just jinx it and Yzerman ends up re-signing Filppula or bringing back Abdelkader.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

I really expected Helm in Edmonton.

Good luck to him but I'm not expecting him to do a whole lot there after what we've seen over the last 3 years.

 

[kliq]

That’s awesome! Guy only has a few years left, so I’m happy for him that he will get a chance to win a cup.

Thank you Helm for the memories!

 

[MBH]

Fair deal.
About what he's worth these days.
He might help Colorado quite a bit.

Always will appreciate the energy he played with in 08 and 09.
Wish he never got promoted beyond L3.

 

[SoupNazi]

Good luck, Darren.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Bye.

 

[FabricDetails]

Welp. Twas inevitable.

How I'll always remember him.

Sucks to see both Helm and Glendening leaving, those guys played with a ton of heart and were effective when playing their role and not being put in the Blashill (or formerly Babcock) Blender and getting spit out in the top 6. On the plus side, the less forwards we bring back the higher the chances of seeing Raymond/Veleno/Berggren in the lineup.

 

[Henkka]

Is there some videos about Helm against Colorado at 2008.

 

[cjm502]

Welp. Twas inevitable.

How I'll always remember him.

I still remember watching this live in a room full of people who were not paying much attention to the game and being like LOOK AT THIS SHIFT GUYS!

My thoughts as well.

Who's the longest-tenured Wing now? Gotta be DDK I would think.

 

[Oddbob]

As a big Helm fan, I will definitely miss him. Weird to say good luck in Colorado though, as I don't want them to win. So I hope he does good, and they lose again.

Not to take anything away from Helm on that shift, it was incredible, but LOL at Campbell. Forgot how shitty that dude was in his own zone.

 

[bedtime20]

Goodbye Helm.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Zetterberg and Helm have my two favorite playoff memories from the 2000s.



Zetterberg scoring the goal with Fleury sitting on the puck and the ref losing his shit actively hammering the "goal" sign.



And "Brett Lebda, screened shot, Holmstrom bangs at the puck, they score! DARREN HELM, DARREN HELM! The Wings are headed back to the Stanley Cup final"

 

[GreatGordie9]

Darren we wish you the very best in Colorado and thanks for you did with the Wings over the years.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

I wish it was Helm to TB & Perry to COL instead.

Best of luck Helmer, but no Cup in COL.

 

[better Red than Dead]

Ken Holland needs a moment please

 

[RabidBadger]

This is about 4 years too late to happen. I have nothing against Helm, per se, but he was only kept around because of his chummy schmalz-fest with Holland.

 

[Oddbob]

I wish it was Helm to TB & Perry to COL instead.

Best of luck Helmer, but no Cup in COL.

Same here. Now I really hope TB doesn't 3 peat.

 

[ShanahanMan]

Always a heart and soul player. Sad to see the Avs fans trashing him so badly.
