Onward and Rules of Engagement for 2018-19

Well, well, well. In this, the year before baby Jesus brings our boy back, we have ourselves a bonafide youth movement.

By all accounts, except mine--which I'll get to--the year ahead is sure to be filled with painful losses, juvenile mistakes, even more juvenile comments, angst and pain.

You wanted the kids? You got the kids. Five tonight, alone.

Cholowski, Rasmussen, Ehn, Hronek, Sulak. All rookies. All debuting tonight. Not since 1985 have the Wings opened with that kind of childishness.

But, it's ok, because the rest of the team is so seasoned, right?

Larkin, Mantha, AA, Bertuzzi, Hickets.
