I've been tossing around the idea of making a parody of the hilarious NFL Quarterbacks on Facebook for a while now and finally got around to it. Originally I was going to make fake accounts for every player, coach and fan in the organization. I was about half way done when Chris, being the Johnny-on-the-spot guy that he is, let me know about fakeconvos.com.

So here it is: A glimpse of a typical conversation between members of the greatest organization in pro sports.

Red Wings didn't give much effort today and fell to the Blue Jacket 3-0. This is the first time in the history of ever that Columbus won a season series against the Wings and they deserved it. We're missing a bunch of guys that probably shouldn't be on the team anyways (minus Helm, of course) and they're missing a few of their best players but still destroyed us. They have taken 7 of 8 possible points. 1/3 of their total points came against Detroit.

Embarrassed enough yet? More after the jump:

Solid win by the whole team tonight. Edmonton isn’t that great, but those are the games the Wings have to win if they’re going to make the playoffs. The bottom six led the way on the scoreboard tonight. Kindl, Emmerton and finally even Abby put one in.

ECKS-EL-ENT!

Today's Gameday Movie poster offers up more genius and mad photochop skills from the wizardly Josh Howard. Remember when we were the greatest team ever assembled? Was that ALL the way back when Tia Carrere was the hottest babe on television? Surely not! Our glory days are still upon us.

Party on Pav. Party on Hank. LGRW

Doesn't that just make your morning?

There’s been a million articles on the realignment that’s been proposed by the NHL, but we gotta hit on it too.  They’ve managed to somehow not squarely address the main concern that the NHLPA had with the last alignment, notably the uneven conferences.  However, there’s a lot of good too.  Let’s just hit the main points from the Wings’ perspective.  First here’s their division:

The NEW Central Division

Boston Bruins
Buffalo Sabers
Detroit Red Wings
Florida Panthers
Montreal Canadians
Ottawa Senators
Tampa Bay Lightning
Toronto Maple Leafs

Good parts: 

Just look at that division.  Holy crap.  4 original six teams, plus hockey mad Buffalo and Ottawa. And don’t forget Yzerman’s team down there in Tampa, who are always fun to watch. Not to mention we get free wins again Florida forever, similar to Columbus. 

Less travel!  Though there is still a decent amount with Florida and Tampa, but still. 

Time zone – All Eastern conference teams, which means all games are EST.  Woohoo, no more 10:30 games! 

Did I mention that we are in a conference with FOUR original six teams?

Coolest oriignal six picture on google. 

More thoughts and a reader poll, after the break:

Like the headline suggests, Wings get 2 points tonight largely because of the play of Jimmy Howard. Thanks, Jim! On the other end of the ice, J.S. Giguere did a terrific job of wearing gigantic equipment. In the end, Detroit’s two goals were enough as they held on to win 2-1.

Tonight at 7:30 on FSD. Be there.

What's there to say that hasn't already been said at this point. The Wings will roll with the same lineup as the last few games, and whether you think Babs is crazy, stubborn, looking for a new job, or has a plan is all irrelevant. Why? Because he's the coach and your not, that's why. So I won't give you my opinion as to why Datsyuk says Dat-sucks each time he lines up with 11 & 8, or why White is scratched over Kindl, or why Tatar and Andersson can't crack the top 6. My opinion doesn't matter.

Obviously I disagree with Mike Babcock here, but I'm biased towards winning, so maybe my opinion doesn't matter. What do you all think about his latest comments regarding Tatar and the second line?

That hurt. Detroit didn’t play well until the third, but Howard played one of his best games of the year. Unfortunately, the bad guys pulled off a late miracle. Ericsson played well tonight, but an unlucky break saw him in the box for putting the puck over the glass. Then a failed clearing attempt led to Kane’s tying goal. Franzen hit two posts late in this game.

Like I said, this hurt.
