[Helene St. James] Dylan Larkin on hearing "We want Larkin" chants at Bell Centre: "I never would have imagined that in this building and in my career. They're passionate fans. It's one of the best atmospheres in hockey. They're knowledgeable and they love their team. That's how I read into it."

Sounds pretty non-starter to me

Moritz Seider via Brad Galli: “Don't stop believing in us. We're doing everything we can. We want to be on this team, we want to wear that jersey. We want to make you guys proud, but we want to make ourselves proud too."

[DET - SEA] "Sell the team" chants make their 3rd appearance of the season at the LCA

"Where" your Halloween costume and enjoy the various "activations" around the arena

The Red Wings social media team is really good but whoever is doing marketing... yikes. They could take a page from Chris Ilitch and maybe run it through AI to at least catch these grammatical errors instead of looking dumb.

Man… what was it like to see the Wings win?

Unfortunately (sports wise) a 2008 baby here. I randomly had the thought today that as a Detroit sports fan (and a Sparty fan) I don’t know what it feels like to see a team I support win the championship, and it’s possible I never will. If I could see any team win it would be the Wings because of Lord Stanley and I just like hockey the most.
I find myself watching the Wings’ Cup wins on YouTube sometimes and wishing I could have been there, especially being at the game… I haven’t even been to a regular season Wings game yet (though probably upwards of a hundred GRG games).
For those of you who were lucky enough to watch us win the Cup, especially if you were at a playoff game along the way, what was it like? I wish I had been able to feel that feeling… maybe someday.

[Michael Whitaker] Todd McLellan on Michael Brandsegg-Nygård: "He bullies his way to the net - probably a good example for some others."

[DET (2) - SEA 1] William Wallinder launches one from the point to get his first goal in the NHL!

David Pagnotta: “We’re getting to a point where (Edvinsson’s) frustration is starting to boil over. I don’t think there’s been a formal trade request, but there’s been a few jabs tossed back and forth”

Boo, chant and embarrass Chris Ilitch on Friday

Boycotting Ilitch owned businesses does virtually nothing to impact their multibillion dollar empire. The one thing the Ilitch family cares about most is the public perception.

Go to the games to support the players, coaches and staff as well as the employees at LCA. Watch the games to support the best broadcast team in sports.

But BOO, CHANT (F Chris Ilitch, Fire Chris, Sell the Team, etc..) and embarrass the hell out of the Ilitch family namely Chris. Make the rest of the family see that he needs to be replaced ASAP. Preferably by Denise Ilitch.

The Lions eventually made a change, so the Wings can surely make a change as well.

Fans deserve better, the players deserve our support and the employees of Ilitch empire deserve our support too.

Chris can get fucked.

In today's WINGED WHEEL Podcast, Max Bultman kept stating disbelief at what happened and diagnosed this as a cascade of delayed decisions by RED WING decision makers. Who are the RED WING decision makers?

Max listed the domino effect of April, he felt a decision needed to be made on Yzerman staying or going, and decision makers stalled decision.

May came and still no decision.

June Larkin makes trade request. Supposedly Decision makers finally feel they need to let Yzerman go due to two things:

  1. Yzerman informed team that return package would be future weighted and decision makers wanted present day assets.

  2. Back door channels reached out to COLUMBUS's Zach Wereinski about playing in home state of Michigan and team was told to go pound sand. Again, Decision makers wanted to know why Yzerman had created a place where local heroes like Zach refused to come to DETROIT.

Late June/early July, Yzerman elevated out of GM role and Hockey Operations leader search begins. Shawn Horcoff announced as "acting" GM.

July came and no decision.

August came and no decision.

Early September, decision makers admit no hires are imminent and promote Shawn Horcoff from "acting" GM to "interim" GM.

Simon Edvisson arrives at camp without contract, pays his own insurance, and internet claims that he wants a long term contract after a summer of silence from organization.

After two weeks, no progress is made and Evidsson returns to Europe.

So who are the "decision makers"? Is it all Illitch? Who else has a voice that may be steering the conversations for the WINGS currently?
