Hey man det is my east team and I love seeing the stl red wings. Perron, walman, husso, sunny d, and fabbri. Vova is one of my all time favorites players and wish him success. He is a beauty.
fascinating having grown up watching the red wings and blues hate each other in the 90s to see this comment. then again chelios and kane became fan favorites on the red wings. 🤷🏽♀️
fwiw, a lot of detroit families like mine ended up moving to missouri and developing a bit of a soft spot for the blues (especially because it gives us even more reason to hate the blackhawks lol)
Oh yeah man, I remember but ever since the red wings left out division /conference I can actually root for them. I grew to respect the organization when we were rivals, love /hate thing, but Lidstrom, Yzerman, fedorov etc are some absolute legends. I still root against them when they play the Blues, but tarasenko going to Detroit is awesome imo. I was actually scared he wld get money from Chicago or Colorado, I wld have to denounce my manlove of Vova if that were the case 😆
Not gonna drive offense but pretty solid and still has some finishing touch
Bought in with Florida and played well with Lundell and Luostarinen in the playoffs
That's how it is with anything related to us at this point. Yzerman doesn't allow leaks. If something gets out, he just walks away. It's wild how tightly he keeps a lid on things.
Cannot believe this sub got fooled *by a troll that easily. Zero actual news sources picked it up and it was obviously written in a notes app. If it was a real leak they'd have shown the subject line and the email address that sent it, but they didn't because it wasn't real.
Why is this team becoming the 2023 post deadline Rangers?? Kane, Vladi, Motte (and also Gus!)
Should be fun and competitive, the Atlantic remains and fucking beast
Holland burnt the fields and poisoned the wells before he left. It took like 3 years to even get back to Actually starting the real rebuild since he left us with nothing but Larkin and a ton of awful contracts
I've been saying this same thing for a while. Holland left when the team was still burning down, and Yzerman had to extinguish the fire and wait for the ashes to cool down before he could start the rebuild.
Something about Russians and the Red Wings feels correct to me. I think as a kid I really liked Sergei Federov more than was expected as a Blackhawks fan.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Vladimir Tarasenko is an organism classified within the species "Homo sapiens," originating from the geopolitical region commonly referred to as Russia.
If this *were* true, then that would mean he is not a Penguin. Can anyone else confirm?
Appreciate everything this guy did for the Panthers during this cup run. Some good veteran perspective and clutch goals when we really needed them. Good luck Vladi

Steve’s infinity gauntlet of former blues gains another
Considering they have 8 d and 4 goalies, i would expect some sort of move to come, and hopefully that will allow them to lock up both of them at any cost. I would hate to bridge either of them
God dammit. It’s getting hard to not like the Wings.
They just have so many of our old players, and damn are they fun to watch.
They’re in the other conference now…but how do you forget that old central division hatred?
As happy as I was to see the Caps make the playoffs, I honestly wish the Wings had made it in instead. Their insane Cinderella push the last two games plus their play being so much fun to watch should have gotten them in. Pretty dumb that the first tie breaker isn’t number of total wins.
You never forget. When a favorite player moves to a team you hate, I hope they lose every game 4-1. And your favorite player gets the one goal. Is how I’ll deal with a Stanley cup delivering blues hero playing for the franchise you’ll go to the grave rooting against. Salty? Sure. I hope Tarasanko (or any cup delivering blues player on that team) has a great season. And they miss the playoffs again.
If I had a nickel for every time Tarasenko reportedly signed with a Metro Division team only to be announced as being signed by a random Atlantic Division team right after - I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
Will go down as an all-time trade deadline acquisition in Florida Panthers team’s history.
Vlad had a big time goal in every series en route to the cup. I’ll always appreciate his time on the team and I wish him all the best.
Holy fuck, this is not what I was expecting at all
Cherish him Detroit, every hair on his head
We do love our former Blues (maybe him and Walmen didn’t get along)

Weird how all of them are gone, aside from Husso (who also might be on his way out)
Damn we really did have a former Blue purge this summer Perron, Walman, Fabbri all in the last 2 weeks
I really liked Sunny, I wish we could have kept him.
"Stevie signs some questionable free agent contract" \*Signs Kane and Tarasenko\* "My b Stevie."
Isn’t that how this works?
Wings are gonna be fun next year!
Kane-Compher-Tarasenko might be the 2nd line. Both teams will have fun when they're on, lol
Compher will be doing a lot of backchecking lol
Tarasenko has gotten so much better as a two way player later on in his career
He didn’t do much scoring so that’s fine lol
50 points is not bad. He just needs to be a two way center with Kane and Tarasenko on the ice.
y'all must've forgot to call 1-877-GOALS-NOW
He had 48 points in like 75 games, he scored at a fine rate lmao idk what the other dude is saying
It was a career year for him in goal scoring with 19 in 77 games.
Going to be chaos hockey at it's finest
My guess is we would put Tarasenko on the first line with Larkin and Raymond and then let Kane and Debrincat play together.
I hope not. Cat played waaaaay better with Larkin amd Raymond.
Wings are gonna be ~~scary~~ fun next year!
How good is Tarasenko still?
Not gonna drive offense but pretty solid and still has some finishing touch Bought in with Florida and played well with Lundell and Luostarinen in the playoffs
Thank you!
He just scored the ECF series winning goal against his old pals in NY, which is pretty cool.
He’ll probably be on our second line to start the year, probably post 15 goals for us hopefully 45-55 point guy.
20+ goals and 60+ points is my guess with a full season
they had him playing 2nd line when he first joined but our offense stalled. did well on 3rd line.
Planning the parade up Woodward as we speak.

Pittsburgh Penguins legend
I watched every game he played for Pittsburgh and he was completely invisible.
Keep your eyes open for the highlight video and get ready to be proven wrong. He was everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
Then how did you watch him????? Checkmate
The chemistry he had with Crosby was second to none
Just another tale of former Crosby linemates getting priced out of Pit
Welcome to the club!
Cant imagine him in any other jersey
Well this was out of fuckin nowhere
Honestly I thought he was someone the wings would look to add, but was interesting about him buying a house in Florida
He'll fit in as a snowbird
All Russians with money have real-estate in Florida, especially soflo.
That's how it is with anything related to us at this point. Yzerman doesn't allow leaks. If something gets out, he just walks away. It's wild how tightly he keeps a lid on things.
Except Trouba right? That’s still going to happen, right?
😅
Makes the Penguins email look even weirder
Cannot believe this sub got fooled *by a troll that easily. Zero actual news sources picked it up and it was obviously written in a notes app. If it was a real leak they'd have shown the subject line and the email address that sent it, but they didn't because it wasn't real.
I am hearing Ohtani and Tarasenko are on a plane to Toronto at this very moment...
Email?
Short for electronic mail
It’s a series of tubes
What the fuck is the internet?
Magnets
Glass and metal
How do they work?
The Internet is a communication tool used the world over where people can come together to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another.
ALL YOU MOTHERFUCKERS ARE GUNNA PAY YOU ARE THE ONES WHO ARE THE BALL LICKERS!
moviepoopshoot.com
HOW MANY PEOPLE WANNA KICK SOME ASS
Be kind, that's my nana's account
But that's not important right now...
Long for e.
I don’t do, like, the e-mails…
They sent out an email saying they were close to signing Tarasenko Whoops!
The wording was "Tarasenko is a Penguin" I believe
You are correct
Was definitely a whoops on their part
He’s pulling a reverse Hossa and signing for the Penguins in 2 years
They sent out an email saying they had Tarasenko* lol
Tarasenko is a Penguin. *Narrator: he wasn't*
Some weird internal email about how they signed Tarasenko the other day
The St Louis Blue Wings cycle continues
The St. Detroit Red Blues
Purples?
Perron, Fabbri, Husso, and now Vladdy. Am I missing anyone? Edit: well that lasted all of thirty seconds. Fabbri just got traded.
Jake Walman, Oskar Sundqvist And Thomas Greiss if you count it in reverse too😭
Including reverse also adds Nick Leddy and Jakub Vrana
Ty Conklin on both sides of his Blues tenure.
Kostin and De La Rose if you want to count them
We had Sundqvist at one point too
Yzerman moves like a ghost
Yzerman hacked the penguins email list
https://preview.redd.it/9a6gtahqpdad1.png?width=643&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c678ae7aa8c9aa487f86c8b5c3a144726da42f5
Dubas had it, lost it.
Respect for a blues fan making this joke
Real Yz move in silence like lasagna
Maroon to Chicago and Vova to Detroit. I hate this place.
They didn't even have the decency to have vova and Frenchie at the same time for us
But we do still have Fabbri!
Nevermind...
lol yup. Good luck to him. I liked him.
I did too! Wish he was healthy the whole time he was with us
r/agedlikemilk
How could you do this
"Ah fuck i cant believe you done this"
Spoke too soon.
I’m sorry (no I’m not)
The St Louis <—-> Detroit pipeline runs again? Just with a few detours
Why is this team becoming the 2023 post deadline Rangers?? Kane, Vladi, Motte (and also Gus!) Should be fun and competitive, the Atlantic remains and fucking beast
Wouldn’t be surprised if we meet in the playoffs. It’s about time Detroit made it after having been a rebuilder for nearly a decade.
Holland burnt the fields and poisoned the wells before he left. It took like 3 years to even get back to Actually starting the real rebuild since he left us with nothing but Larkin and a ton of awful contracts
He hit us with that Dave Dombrowski Dad took all the capri suns and left for a pack of cigarettes
I've been saying this same thing for a while. Holland left when the team was still burning down, and Yzerman had to extinguish the fire and wait for the ashes to cool down before he could start the rebuild.
Year's off I think but Copp was also a deadline add from you guys
Well those aren’t the Pittsburgh Penguins
why he say fuck me for
Stevie Y aka mista steal yo girl over here
Something about Russians and the Red Wings feels correct to me. I think as a kid I really liked Sergei Federov more than was expected as a Blackhawks fan.
correct.
The insiders really got nothing on Yzerman, Feel like this came out of left field
Runs the tightest of ships
I imagine the punishment for leaking Yzerman's negotiations is public execution in Hart Plaza
Concrete boots in Lake Michigan.
he'd do it on Steve yzerman drive while looking at the Gordie howe bridge just to really drive the point home lol
We make you eat at hot taco exclusively for a week.
Yzerman doesn't spend even a second with the insiders
Take good care of him Detroit!
Steve just thought he deserved a chance to play with Kane again when Kane's hip actually works.
But I thought he was a Penguin.
Birds aren't real, man
YOU’RE not real, man.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Vladimir Tarasenko is an organism classified within the species "Homo sapiens," originating from the geopolitical region commonly referred to as Russia. If this *were* true, then that would mean he is not a Penguin. Can anyone else confirm?
what da hell that's cool
Ah yes, let one Blue go, gain another. The St Louis to Detroit pipeline is alive and well.
Appreciate everything this guy did for the Panthers during this cup run. Some good veteran perspective and clutch goals when we really needed them. Good luck Vladi

Pittsburgh had him, lost it. Yzerman picks him up.
I could see him clapping it from the blue line.
😐
Steal Exact same contract Perron signed a couple year back
Red Wings now have about enough cap space to give both Raymond and Seider $8m x 8 each
Considering they have 8 d and 4 goalies, i would expect some sort of move to come, and hopefully that will allow them to lock up both of them at any cost. I would hate to bridge either of them

Kane and Tarasenko BFFs
RIP Penguins legend Vladimir Tarasenko
Kane and Taresenko on the Red Wings. That’s *exactly* the team I associate those 2 players with
Vladdy and Kaner? All that's missing now is their buddy Panarin lol
I would do unspeakable things to get Panarin to Detroit. Unspeakable.
https://preview.redd.it/16uxrla32ead1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=068a13efa636b8c22fd9c75f287f05a34c81f55f
BAAAANG 2 years is absolutely perfect too!
I’m gonna miss him so much, good signing, Wings
God dammit. It’s getting hard to not like the Wings. They just have so many of our old players, and damn are they fun to watch. They’re in the other conference now…but how do you forget that old central division hatred?
I suggest channeling the hatred towards Chicago, it works for me!
Don’t you worry, PLENTY of that to go around
Hey guys!
As happy as I was to see the Caps make the playoffs, I honestly wish the Wings had made it in instead. Their insane Cinderella push the last two games plus their play being so much fun to watch should have gotten them in. Pretty dumb that the first tie breaker isn’t number of total wins.
How that ended abruptly still breaks my heart. That was the most excitement we had in a while.
Yeah I can’t imagine being a Wings fan and seeing the run end like that. Goddamn Flyers.
Us perennially sucking for long enough helps people not hate us too
You never forget. When a favorite player moves to a team you hate, I hope they lose every game 4-1. And your favorite player gets the one goal. Is how I’ll deal with a Stanley cup delivering blues hero playing for the franchise you’ll go to the grave rooting against. Salty? Sure.

I think I called it the other day that whatever we moved Walman out for was going to be something nobody was expecting
Still don't think we're done. We got a gaping hole on RHD.
What did Pittsburgh get in return? Future considerations?
They can talk to San Jose about that.
Can’t for his Pens tribute video!
https://i.redd.it/up5m9vxnfdad1.gif
God the Wings are gonna be scary upfront next season. Larkin, Cat, Kane, Raymond and now Tarasenko on the top two lines. Yikes!
Thank God for the rest of the league the back end is scary in another way lol
What's wrong with 2RHD Jeff Petry 😂
It's okay DET plans on putting one forward on the ice zero D and five goalies. Take good care of Jack he is the bestest boy.
I like it!!!
Vladdy reunited with Kane lol. Sick
If I had a nickel for every time Tarasenko reportedly signed with a Metro Division team only to be announced as being signed by a random Atlantic Division team right after - I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
I’d be lying if I said I had a good sense of his skill set at this stage of his career, but I’m still happy about this.
Numbers last year were slightly better than Perron with a notable difference in PIM . (Perron 55 to Tarasenko 12)
I thought he was a lock for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Detroit just swooped in out of nowhere.
Well, he can't wear 10 and I don't think he's going to wear 91. Wonder what number he'll pick.
Will go down as an all-time trade deadline acquisition in Florida Panthers team’s history. Vlad had a big time goal in every series en route to the cup. I’ll always appreciate his time on the team and I wish him all the best.
Jonatan Berggren, YOU are an Anaheim Duck!
Fabbri. Close though!
You were close
Definitely saw this happening 👀
Pav with the assist
God dammit. Take care of him wings bros
Nice. Always want to see the Red Wings do better.
Pain
WHAT LETS GO!!
God damn it I miss him already.
I’m absolutely heartbroken. I had faith he would take a team friendly deal. I was like the man just bought two multi million homes in Florida.
I think “team friendly” would have been league minimum. We ain’t got no money right now
Detroit’s gonna be fun to watch next season. Hope they make the playoffs
I was like half serious when I called this a few days ago, wow
LET'S GO!!!
He cannot wear 91 or 10
Or 9. Or 1. Or 19. Or 99.
This isn’t the Penguins email
This is a good signing
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO
Rangers Legend
We talking about Kane?
Both will go down as Rangers and Red Wings legends
Hopefully his agent told him beforehand.
How can he play for the wings and the penguins?
Go Blue Wings!
Did anyone see an article posted on here that was a leaked email from the Pens that Vladi was signing in Pittsburgh? Wonder what that was all about?
