Brace Yourselves: A Red Wings Rebuild Is Coming

The Detroit Red Wings are their most disastrous season in over 20 years, and it is not looking like they will continue their playoff streak in the 2016-2017 season. They are last in the Atlantic Division 10 points behind the Philadelphia Flyers who hold the second Wild Card spot. Anything and everything they have tried this year has not worked as well as they hoped. No matter what they do, they just cannot seem to string together a series of quality games that result in wins for them. If this season continues down the path it is currently going, then it is likely that the Detroit Red Wings will miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time in 25 years.

Although the season and the streak are most likely lost unless a miracle happens, a bright future can still become a reality for the Wings. Many fans won't like hearing this, but the only way to get the Red Wings back to being contenders for the Stanley Cup is to rebuild the team from the ground up. Now, this does not mean they would rid the team of their good young talents such as Andreas Anthanasiou, Dylan Larkin, Jared Coreau, Anthony Mantha, and Tomas Jurco, but to move out some of the veteran players and be one of the lower teams in the league for a few years so that they can get a few high draft picks to make the team both younger and faster.

A rebuilding stage is just what the Red Wings need to become an elite team in the NHL once again. Although it won't be a fun time watching them rebuild, it will be fun once it is complete and the team becomes a contender for Lord Stanley again. A rebuild is upon us and whether Wings fans like it or not, it has to be done.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
