HYPE! LGRW!

30 Watch AA 4 to go Larkin 3 to go

As a big NHL gamer, I'm hoping that playing his first NHL game makes Kuffner eligible to be added to NHL 19

And they tried from 2009 until last year and it didn't work out. As for the second bolded part. Sure it's "possible". But probability is low and we're trying to get good fast and now, and ain't nobody has time to continue wasting trying to hope to find a gem someone in a random draft position. We've been trying that for more than a decade and have had zero luck drafting a worthy player since Franzen/Kronwall pre 2000s. Specifically, if you've been paying attention to the last 20 years of our draft, we haven't had much luck trying to get high end players. Nyquist and Tatar were secondary players at best and nothing more. Not a 1D like Kronwall, not a top 3 winger like Franzen. So rather than clinging on to "possibility" like you say; Holland has moved his philosophy towards "probability". And it's a proven point that there's a higher probability of getting good players high in the draft. Period.

Sure. It's possible to get high end players without sucking, but it's also a lot less likely. We suck right now because for 2 and a half decades we weren't in position to draft high end talent, and weren't lucky enough to find it in later rounds (outside of Pav and Z).

Spencer Knight is the big name. Seems like he's destined to go in the 1st round, possibly in the top 10 but more likely in the middle or second half of the 1st round.

So glen's been on the ice for 2 goals...

score!!!!!!! AA and BB, from DD...

I am about to fall asleep here... keeping myself busy doing laundry and stuff during the frequent lulls.

End of 1st. 1-1. I'll take it.

Worst ppl I've ever seen Helm is on my s***list the 2nd highest. He turns the puck over and kills momentum with mishandled pucks more than any other guy. Abdelkader just sucks, which is the worst. But Helm is close to sucking too.

It boggles my mind that our power play isn't the worst in the league.

s*** clear by Helm.

No, they're just really tiny people. You have to squint to see them. Trust me.

Athanasiou (25) from DeKeyser (12) - NYI 0, DET 1 Wings have silenced the crowd.

Good to see Kuznetsov back 30 watch AA 5 away Larkin 2 away

LOL!! Isles just scored on themselves... AA says thank you very much

When I think of number 56.

I'm feeling good about this one! The sun is out (over here in PA and out there in MI), tomorrow is International Drink Your Ass Off Day, the Kuffner fam is in the house, New Captain is back. LET'S GO!!!

Special day for Kuffner and his family.... Larkin is back... we might just do OK today, in spite of ... things being how they are. LGRW!!!

Honestly...Possibly...Kid seems hot/cold with his production...Not breaking bones in his hand while fighting, and staying healthy in general might help.

Notes: Larkin set to return versus Islanders [DetroitRedWings.com]

They’re not deliberately tanking. They’re not pulling the players to the side and saying “ok we have to lose these games”. You’re trying to push a narrative that only exists in your head. The team sucks, plain and simple. They know they’ll end up somewhere high in the draft and hence they've stock piled their picks to use them in the draft at those high points each round. It's pretty simple.

I couldn't help myself.
