Detroit Red Wings At St. Louis Blues Morning Open Thread: Old Frienemies

'Member when the Blues and Red Wings had a rivalry? 'Member goalie fights and questionable hits and Tarasenko vs. Datsyuk? Member when Zetterberg was young and Lidstrom still played? 'Member?

Yeah, good times. After the realignment of the conferences, the Red Wings picked up rivalries in the East, and the Blues intensified their rivalry with the Blackhawks. Datsyuk left for the KHL and got his contract traded to the Arizona Coyotes. Zetterberg's older. Jimmy Howard isn't the goalie of the future.

But the guys at Winging It In Motown are still our frienemies. At least that hasn't changed.

This is your morning open thread. Check back later on for a Lighting the Lamp, your preview, and your GDT. Happy Thursday, everyone. We're almost there.
