[Over the next 12 days, we here at WIIM are going to be bringing you the 12 Days of Christmas, only we'll be putting a Red Wing spin on things. Starting today and for the next 12 days, check back for a new reason to be proud to be a Wing fan.]

On the second day of Christmas, Ken Holland gave to me

Two Euro Twins

And The Perfect Human Nicklas Lidstrom.

(Bonus video of Datsyuk & Zetterberg - because it has music from 'The Mighty Ducks Soundtrack' so I'm obligated by my own childhood to include it.)

Give me the playoffs now.

The regular season is awesome but I want the playoffs. I’m sick of having the frustration of losing to the Sharks always in my mind. I want them in the conference semi-finals again and I want to wip their wimpy asses.

Living in Chicago is great... apart from the Blackhawks fans.

BOOYA!!!!

Awesome videos J.J. Datsyuk blows me away with his moves almost on a nightly basis. Z has some pretty nifty moves as well, but what impresses me more is how fraking smart he is. He gets himself to the right places for where the puck is going to be, not where it is now. Watching him dangle the goalie and just wait him out is awe inspiring. I’m pretty pumped for some hockey now, I’ll take our twins over any other twins every single time.
