Team: 2020-21 Detroit Red Wings

Initial Creation Date: Apr. 9, 2021

Description

2015: Detroit drafts Travis Konecny at 19oa instead of E. Svechnikov
2016: Detroit drafts Jakob Chychrun instead of trading back for Cholowski & Hronek
2017: Detroit drafts Martin Necas at 9oa instead of M. Rasmussen

Do we still suck? YES, we still suck. We still would have probably picked 6th overall in 2019 and bottom 10 in 2020. But we're a hell of a lot better in this scenario than in real life.

Refs have their favourites. They also have guys they don't like. They'll never admit it of course. They're human. Remember when Dunkin Dan O'Halloran used to always screw the Red Wings? Why? Because he was once shot in Detroit. I still remember that BS call on Datsyuk in game 5 of the Wings/Ducks WCF playoff series in 2007. O'Halloran can F right off.

That POS owes us so many goals!!! He frickin' hated Holmstrom.

Oh yeah for sure. Anytime Holmstrom was even near the crease the goal was disallowed. I'd watch Lindros and LeClair play roller derby running goalies over and the goals would count. But refs never play favourites. Ever. 😂

Do you remember that game in 2014 when Datsyuk scored that insane backhand and the ref waived it off because Abdelkader was somewhere near Carey (I never flop) Price. The ref (I think it was Greg Kimmerly) PROMISED Price a call. Turns out that Price had been complaining about contact in the crease and the ref frickin' PROMISED him the next call. He copped to it after the game. Honestly this offended me WAY more than what Peel got caught saying

Price is the biggest goalie diver in the NHL. He has it down to an art. Like Forsberg, Selanne, Kariya. Refs love Price and he takes full advantage of it.

Who can clear the crease today with the current rules? Each time I see a defenseman do it, it's called a penalty. Chara is allowed to somehow get away with it.

You can still clear the crease without a penalty, I see it every night VGK plays. It’s much easier to do when you weigh over 170lbs.
