He's got 10 games to make up for.

this tweet, though...

they had catchy tunes... Keep Trollin' Trollin' Trollin' UH!

And here I thought it was because H8 was all the world has seen lately.

End of 2nd. Wings lead 1-0. NOW I KNOW Y U WANNA H8 ME CUZ SOMETHING SOMETHING WITKOWSKI

Witkowski v. Haley -- Hugfest Witkowski v. Haley 2: Electric Boogaloo -- Slightly less huggy Glendening v. Ekblad -- Legit fight. Both got good shots in, but Glenny had more Aside from that, boring game. Wings look good overall, though. Z ended his goal drought. Snipkid is snakebit. Jimmy has been solid tonight.

Witkowski looks like a gritty reboot Santa Claus.

Stick to the Detroit River and the Great Lakes that we're used to.....

Hey now, it's the best we have right now.

Meanwhile in Pittsburgh... yep, that's Tinky

for those unsure about Larkin's nickname it's D-BO$$

you need streams? We've got streams, yo!

Fla's Sin bin's full 3 fights so far

Spelled thusly, with two "$" for a second salary of his MONEY. Z

SNIP IT GOOD

I think we're in line for a pretty good player this year. Maybe next year too. And, yes, Karlsson would be a shortcut to a rebuild, but I'm not sure Larkin, AA, Rasmussen, Svech (our current one) Cholo and Karlsson would be enough of a core to win. And I'm sure Karlsson could see greener pastures elsewhere when considering whether to stay. With Tavares, sure, that be a nice team, but that's a few too many hypotheticals ahead for me. Anyway, for my last pitch to you. I'll counter what you imagine: If you lost Mantha, Nyquist, and 2 1st rounders, and then Karlsson went elsewhere in free agency, I think that'd go on the list of worst trades ever. And think of how much that would put the rebuild behind. But I guess you'd be a bolder GM than I.

No. At the start of the season I was hunting down a good stream every game night. Now I just rely on phone updates.

Of course Howard starts. Lol Called it after the last game. Well hopefully he does well tonight. Hopefully they all do. Hammer down!

I know why you wanna HYPE me...

You've taken away the 2 first rounders from the trade you were talking about. And it would cost more than Mantha and Nyquist. Think of Vanek in 2014. He cost the Islanders Moulson, a 1st and a 2nd - and he had only a half year left on his contract. So Karlsson would be quite a bit more than that. And then he wanted to test free agency after all and didn't sign with them. I'm sure that Holland will call as well (as he should), but I don't think it'd be worth while to trade so much for which will essentially be a year of him when we're not a contender and negotiating rights. Especially with his comment about getting what he's worth, I think he'll check out free agency (unless he has loyalty to Ottawa and is just trying to get the most from them).

I mean, don't get me wrong, I want Karlsson wearing the Winged Wheel. I just don't see it happening...and I'm rationalizing that as a good thing. After Suter and Stamkos, I've sworn to never get my hopes up about a marquee UFA ever again. NEVER AGAIN!

Nyquist wouldn't get us a 1st. If Green gets us a 1st, it'll probably be in the 25-31 range. I'm pretty sure Tatar has no trade value at the moment and I reckon Mantha's trade value isn't as high as we'd like to think it is. IMO, we have no shot at acquiring Karlsson via trade, for a number of reasons. Holland('s successor) will wait to see if he hits the open market in 2019...and Karlsson will sign elsewhere, and we'll learn that he never even spoke to Holland('s successor). I'm ok with not landing Karlsson. He's a generational talent and he's exactly the kind of player we need, but his $100M contract could be a death trap. Every year, a team that isn't paying Erik Karlsson $12M a year somehow finds a way to win the Stanley Cup. The Wings have to be patient and smart. Keep drafting solid players in the 1st round, hope we hit the jackpot and get a Dahlin or a Svechnikov or a couple of Adam Boqvists within the next several drafts. Don't go chasing waterfalls. Target the not-Karlssons of the 2019 UFA class. Make a savvy, low-risk trade or two or three or four or five.

I really would hate so much to lose mantha
