Are you hoping for another “Russian wave” to usher in another Wings Run?
That ship sailed, and they lost their mojo when Bowman left and brought his magic to Chitown (which they’re starting to regret as they’ve discovered his kid is more Dale Tallon than Scotty B)??

We’ve gotten what I hoped for - Yzerman to come back. In Yzerman we trust.

The Russian wave quickly evolved into the Swedish retirement home. It’s been downhill ever since. Hopefully Stevie Y can turn it around. I miss the great rivalry with the pens, and let’s face it, Detroit has been the American Dynasty for hockey in the past, and I’d like to see that continue. Just hoping their dynasty didn’t die with the Joe.

I miss the Joe. I remain confident we can at least become competitive again. Might put on my Fedorov jersey today for old time’s sake.

It was another of Buttman’s failures when he moved Detroit out of the West. Completely destroyed the Hawks/Blues/Wings triumvirate of hate.
Of course that whole realignment was a cluster F**K. Yeah great idea, 16 teams in the East and 14 in the West.? Of course, it comes from the same doofus that decided Arizona would be a great place for expansion, while denying Winnipeg their franchise. (They got the last laugh though, when he had to cave after the failure of the Thrashers).

Yeah, those were alright. But I'm talking about the real old fashioned blue ones, worn by the likes of Sakic, Forsberg, Sundin, Foote etc. And just as a hoot, they should all wear #88, just to piss off Eric Lindros.
No mention of the Stastny brothers? For shame! They put that franchise on their backs.

An irony was Foote wearing the Avs Jersey with the foot shoulder lapels. Unfortunately those were ditched for the Avs sl, and then the eerily similar to the Habs “C”, and then back to the Avs.
