Good news, this was one of our "games in hand" on Tampa too. Yippy This is humiliating. Second game this week I've turned off. Night gents.

Garbage patch = garbage performance.

I saw this on X Since the patch. -0-4 -Outscored 19-4 -Just got blanked by a team that lost 16 of their last 18 -Lost Dylan Larkin for a couple weeks. The curse is real. Gotta get rid of the patch.

I'm not sure what Berggren and Edvinsson are going to accomplish. We're good on middle six wingers and left handed defensemen. If anything those are strengths of the team. Both those players help in the long term, but neither of them address needs for this team right now. And if you're not trying to improve this team right now then why didn't we just sell?

But he literally said he didn't feel the price of dealing away top prospects and picks was worth any player he could've picked up at the TDL. So are you mad he didn't make these trades to get top 6 or top 4 talent or are you mad he kept Berggren instead? I understand the frustration of lessor players in the NHL while top prospects are in GR. But Berggren has been called up and he isn't going back. If he plays 4 more NHL game's he loses waiver exemption and Yzerman, again, literally said in his presser that he didnt plan on bringing him up to only play him to the threshold (3 games) and send him back. He's here to stay. So that covers one of the top prospects that you're referring to. In regard to the last 3 years 1st round picks, ASP and Danielson aren't quite ready. Kasper is in his 1st year in the AHL and Yzerman said yesterday that he couldn't say no for sure that we won't see Edvinsson this year in Detroit. He's in GR to learn how to run a power play, lead the D, and learn how to be a top 2 guy. He's pretty much ready, so if not sometime this year, next year for sure. I went over all this in the TDL thread. We're all a bit upset that teams around us went all in and we just cleared a roster spot. But that spot is now filled by Berggren. Plus I can appreciate him not throwing 15-20 years of the future away for rental help now. If that means fall out of the playoffs this season, oh well. It beats selling off our top picks and prospects to squeak into playoffs. AKA Ken Holland 2.0.

I'll be shocked if this isn't a blowout

I am going superstitious route haven't won since garbage patch on jersey

That'll happen when you lose the only good center you've had on the team since Henrik Zetterberg retired.

This team has rediscovered its December form...

You could feel it in the air. Team needed a spark. Or another goalie. Yzerman must realllllllly hate giving away draft picks. Man seemed extra cranky tonight talking to Trevor. Like pizzzed. Even publicly called out team defence. I think he wants to see how the young RFas handled this ‘playoff push’. Maybe he’s not happy.

Based on current score and effort I can't disagree I delayed drinking for this? Arrrgghhh

What better way to let your team know you have no faith in them than to let every other team in the division improve while you stand pat. Good call Steve. Also, can we learn to f*cking pass or no? I know I've been beating this drum all season long but watch how we pass. We don't even attempt to pass tape to tape. Nada, just the ol' Jonathan Ericsson special...fling the puck into space and hope one of your guys gets to it first.

Yuck. I get the feeling you were rubbing your belly when you posted that. You should be on a government list somewhere.

Getting rid of Kostin, And standing pat was the right thing to do.

Darkness Imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in Detroit Wings my holding celllllllll Yzerman Has taken my sight Taken my speech Taken my hearing Taken my arms Taken my legs Taken my soul Left me with life in Minnesotaaaaaa
