Umm what? They have already won a Stanley cup and could very well win another this year.
And fans at the game making us look like Arizona...

She is the absolute worstKronwall can't wait til he doesn't have to answer another HSJ question.
So funny looking at the box score:
Bowey (2)
Helm (7)
Abdelkader (6)
Rasmussen (8)
Stamkos (35)
Point (38)
Kucherov (34)
Johnson (25)
Kucherov (35)
Ouch lol
Some of us picked that in his first year. Still continues to show the same. He will never be more than a 25/50 player because he doesnt have the drive or heart.Mantha needs a fresh start somewhere else. His effort tonight was pathetic. For me I’ve come to the conclusion that he has all the skill, but lacks the mental/drive to be the player he could be. I’d like to see a trade this off-season
Every team in the league gets draft hits that other team's pass over. It's hardly anything worth bragging about.That's.... a really lame position.
You're going to totally ignore that we took 3 guys who aren't even in the NHL while passing up the league's leading scorer because Tampa is in a non-hockey market.
Imagine being that unable to do some introspection and self-criticism of your team that you use complete non-sequiturs to defend it.

100%. Seen it on the very rare occasion he gets miffed. He will just go beast mode and control a game and drive through checks no troubles. Rest of the time, he shows that limp wristed effort we saw at the end where he thought about trying to the stop the EN attempt.It is weird to me, as he is capable of getting really fired up, when players do things that piss him off, that you would think that kind of player would say screw you to the other team and dominate, but he doens't seem to want to be a driver, he wants to ride the bus.

It's an interesting mental exercise to think how there would be some interesting changes to some teams if Tampa had drafted Seth Jones.How many game-changers has Tampa passed on? DeAngelo over Pasta, Koekkoek over half a dozen big names, Brett Connolly over a dozen big names, Drouin over a dozen better, Spencer and Stephens in one round over heaps of talent, etc.
And the worst part about this comment overall is that this was peak Russian scare and a lot of teams thought Kucherov might not come over to NA at all.
We have a long trend of having a pair of underachieving players that always leave you wanting more.
1) Val Filppula and Jiri Hudler - decent always wanted more
2) Gus Nyquist and Tomas Tatar - decent always wanted more
3) AA and Anthony Mantha - yadda yadda yadda
This trend of having a pair of players like this needs to end.
Likely a quality player and person but made his way into the NHL with soft hands and a great scoring touch. Watches the pre-game broadcast and found it interesting that he was advising the young guys to put in a full effort to ensure that they've got a job next year. Way I see it Vanek doesn't ever back check and has never been known to be a good two-way player his whole career. I just don't feel that this is the guy to be a leader and example for young guys when we've had a lot of games where the efforts has questionable. But if anybody's effort is questionable I got to say it's Vanek.I know people hate the Vanek signing but he has been pretty important in the dressing room along with Kronwall in telling it like it is and they mention him by name a lot in terms of some of these harder messages. I really appreciate that, I wish he could have brought more offense, he has been decent when healthy but the pace of the league is such a problem for him now at times. Still I can see why the front office and dressing room really likes the guy. He is a really solid pro in my opinion and his offensive IQ still flashes amazing at times.
I think this might be it, but I have really enjoyed having him in Detroit both times. Quality player and person, hope the young Wings really listen to him for the last 12 games.

I come in peace. Gang, you're on your way with the rebuild, that we can see. Good luck when you sign Stevie Y. and have fun watching him rebuild. I'd rather have you guys as a rivalry than Toronto any day.
So what, every team including Detroit, missed out on Zetterberg and Datsyuk and we all know what they did. Every team is going to get lucky and get players who dominate that were overlooked by everyone else!
I had a tremendous feeling we were going to lose the game, even when it was 2-0, because after that, Tampa was just clearly better than us. They have the puck most of the time, and we are so very thin in talent. I think we actually played well, but we are simply outmatched by Tampa, and no Larkin in the lineup only makes it worse. I was hoping we would win this game, if only to make it harder for TB to get near our 62 Win record, which looks like the may just tie or even beat, as I don't really want them to do well. If they didn't have Stevie these past 8+ years, I would be full on against them, as before he got there, I never cared for the Tampa Bay Lightning. Also, a small handful of their teams fans on here, are downright, cocky and obnoxious in their dominance of us. Reality is, TB has only done well against us, now that we are a weak/weaker team, and we still play them pretty well. Can't wait until we are back to winning a lot, and shut a few of them up!
Seriously? No one cares about Tampa Bay. It will always be a secondary franchise in the NHL. This year's Red Wings will also never match some of the pathetic Lightning teams that have existed. Seems like this guy started watching hockey in 2010.
I can see them being as bad. They are very thin on depth, and any injury, or regression, or failure to progress will lead to similar results as this season.Loved what I saw from Zadina. He looks like a player for sure. I don't think we'll be nearly as bad next year, still very bad, but this is definitely out bottomed out season.
