Detroit fans are fucking rediculous
Saturday night's 3-1 defeat to the Colorado Avalanche was the tipping point. Again, the Red Wings played well. Again, that amounted to nothing in the standings but another increase in the loss column. Enough was enough for George James Malik of Snapshots:
Stop sounding like Pollyanas. Stop saying how the opposition goaltender was just too good, or you're "getting chances" on your power play, are "looking better," that the "tide is turning"...
Anything you say can and will be used against you by a fan base that expects results, not boundless optimism. You sound like you're patronizing us, and that includes you, coach Mike Babcock.
Shut up. Win. Then tell us that you're going to fulfill the promise your team holds and your fans' expectations that you will win the Central Division instead of squeaking into the playoffs because you cannot or will not accept that you have a winning problem when you lose six of your first nine games and every road game you've played because you blow leads, blow scoring chances, and blow chunks in terms of commitment to the attention to detail and the painful but necessary work involved in clearing your own slot, not giving up the puck through neutral ice, and charging toward the opposition net, putting pucks there, retrieving their rebounds, and jamming them into the net.

The weird thing is that it's a shitty league so you would think guys would be pretty chill, but it's the opposite: the guys in the higher end leagues don't usually whine or get cheap while the shitty guys act like it's the Goddamn NHL. Fuck, now I really want to punch Tomas Holmstrom in the face.
RudyKelly talking about his rec league and the Kings/Wings game last night. This is just one reason why you should all go to the Battle of Cali every single fucking day.
Even if you don't care about the Ducks, Kings and Sharks.

"Good player,’’ said a longtime Swedish scout. "And a very bright kid. If he wanted, he could probably be a doctor. I just don’t think he wants to play in the NHL. I don’t think it matters to him, really. He’s sort of a prince over there, playing in a smaller league, and I guess that’s OK with him.’’
So Toivonen is back on a cheap two-way deal (fine), but the salient quote for me was a scout talking about Carl Soderberg, the Swedish prospect the Blues originally gave up for Hannu Toivu Crazy-u Goalie-u. I know this was always the word on Carl, but it's funny to see it spelled out.

Does anyone know if there are any Blues prospects in the upcoming Memorial Cup? I guess I'm looking at you Brian - the people need to be informed! Thanks.

"Control" is an operative word in this agreement between SB Nation and the NHL. Only select stories are being linked on NHL.com, and anything that might resemble a cheap shot at League personnel or officials likely won't make the cut.
"My main goal is it to become a platform for people to talk about everything hockey," Mika said. "Just because it might be something we don't agree with doesn't mean it can't be discussed. There's parts of this game that are controversial, and that you can talk about. And then there's taking pot shots at the League, which we're not cool with. We're not giving bloggers access to NHL.com to take down Brian Burke."
That said, SB Nation's blogs don't typically traffic in the lewd and crude.
" Their network of bloggers aren't rogues. They know how to write," said Mika.----

Two months ago, the St. Louis Blues were in last place in the Western Conference and looked like a team that had very little chance of reaching the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Since then, they've been one of the best teams in the NHL. Their reward? Sixth place in the conference.
The Blues clinched the No. 6 seed on Sunday afternoon thanks to a 1-0 win against the Colorado Avalanche at the Pepsi Center. With the victory, they improved to 18-6-3 since Feb. 15, when they were looking up to 14 teams in the Western standings.By earning the sixth seed, St. Louis will face the Vancouver Canucks in the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Had the Blues lost on Sunday, they would have finished eighth -- which would have meant a date with the top-seeded San Jose Sharks. Instead, they finished with the best second-half record in the League at 25-9-7.
Vancouver clinched the Northwest Division on Saturday, edging out the Calgary Flames for the No. 3 seed. The best-of-seven series will begin on Wednesday or Thursday night at General Motors Place.
"It's tough to talk about the series right now, coming off the emotional of this game," Blues coach Andy Murray said. "We wanted to finish sixth, not because we felt any better playing against Vancouver than we did against San Jose, but your job in this sport is to finish as high in the standings as you can and to win the next game. Today was the next game. We know we face a real tough opponent in Vancouver."
Brad Boyes scored the lone goal of the Blues, which came exactly six minutes into the game. Chris Mason, who has been sensational down the stretch, stopped all 28 shots he faced for his sixth shutout of the season.
"We probably didn't play our best game, but we got the job done," Mason said. "We're excited to finish in sixth. It's unbelievable. Now the real fun starts, and we have a tough opponent in Vancouver. It's going to be exciting."
St. Louis finished the regular season by going 9-1-1 over its last 11 games and 5-1-1 on the road. The Blues clinched a playoff spot on Friday night with a 3-1 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets, who spent the majority of the second half of the season in sixth place. Columbus, now the No. 7 seed, will face the Detroit Red Wings in the first round. With 91 points, the Anaheim Ducks finished eighth and will head to San Jose.
"I think we surprised some people in the regular season, and we'd like nothing better than to do the same thing in the playoffs," Murray said. "It's just going to be so exciting to bring this team back to St. Louis for some playoff games."
