Seriously - the first guy to get into a scrap this season that yells 'bang" on every punch is gonna become a fkn legend

Actually I changed my mind - Tarnasky should be made to sit in a 5x5ft box with only a water bottle for exactly 5 min - after which he should be allowed to reenter the golf course and continue "banging"

I watched the extend-o version today, and I didn't realize his friend in white was almost just as drunk! He spends another solid 5 minutes trying to shake their hands and make up all while being told to f*ck off and leave a million times - great video, hahaha From what I've read, the hockey league he works for basically said it's up to the RCMP / no further comment, and the RCMP said their investigation was complete because the person that complained didn't stick around and everyone else just kinda left the scene.

Tarnasky is apparently under invesitgation for this, and I swear to god leaf bros u better let him go free... Yelling BANG everytime u hit a guy is the most hillarious and hockey-esque thing to ever exist. Tarnnasty warned that regard and has brought honor and dignity to Canada

It's possible I guess. Cossa has been in the system for 4 years now. Looks good, but not amazing. Was meh in his first callup this year, and then lost the starting role for the Griffs in the playoffs to Jack Campbell. I assume the G position plays out like this: Gibson/Talbot this year, with Cossa as the 3rd-string callup. Going into the 2026/27 season, Talbot will be released and the new tandem will be Gibson/Cossa. That next summer is also likely when Augustine will sign his ELC and join the Griffins. Once the 2026/27 season ends its a bit more murky. It will depend on the play of Cossa and Gibson during that season. If Cossa doesnt take the #1 spot for himself, I can see Gibson being re-signed, and then we can either choose to trade Cossa, or continue to cook him. He'll be 24ish at that point. If Augustine or Guimond are lighting up the AHL at the same time he would be much easier to trade.

Detroit is absolutely stacked at goalie. Cossa, Augustine, Guimond, Gylander, Postova, and now Pradel. I'd expect one of these guys to be part of a big trade at some point in the near future. All of them are good to great prospects.

Late posting this, butttttt Goalie GOAT Guimond decommitted from Yale. Probably after he read my post about them sucking lol. Therefore, it's implied he's returning to the QMJHL. However, I think it may be more likely that - with his emergence as a prominent young goalie - he recinded on Yale in order to pursue offers from a better program. And a program that will pay him. Ivy league schools make it a point not to pay athletes. Would be interesting if he gets into a big10 program and competes with guys like Augustine.

With Michigan State losing out on Gavin McKenna to PSU, and losing Hobey Baker winner Isaac Howard to the Oilers in the same week, it's rumored their trying to pull in likely #2 overall pick next year in Porter Martone, among other possible CHL defectors. Are their any UofM fans here? I dont understand why Naruto and that program have been so quiet. They have baller azz athletics money to use, but don't seem to be making any attempt to flex it. Further, it looks apparent to me that the the CHL is going to shift from a 16-21 year old league, to a 16-18 year old league. They are capped at only paying players $7,200 a year. If programs like MSU/PSU are willing to dish out hundreds of thousands on a single guy, then they can easily outbid and lure in any rando CHLer they want. Add a possible free degree to that for life after hockey and its a no brainer. If you're still in the CHL at 19 you're basically gonna be a loser that no NCAA program wanted. So CHL isnt kill completely. But BCHL, USHL, etc should be fuqqin worried.

I don't think it's a partner problem. When Chiarot first joined the team they had awful chemistry as a pair. With Big Ben always trying to take the lead and be THE GUY. But this last year or two that really changed and they played much better together. If anything, I think it has more to do with the overall lack of talent in our entire D lineup. Because of that fact, coaches know they need Seider on the ice as much as humanly possible. Therefore they want him playing efficiently and conservatively. It just sucks, because that's not his strength. Sure, he's proved he can do it, eat 25 min a night and be a steady force... but the kid we fell in love with wasn't steady. He was creative, dynamic, explosive, and could be an absolute cannonball on the ice. THAT's what made him special. That's what set him apart. Now my fear is the Red Wings have sapped that natural instinct from him... That one day they're going to say "Okay, Ed and ASP can now handle big minutes, Mo, feel free to go out and be your old bully self" and it will be too late, and that style game will have been coached out of him. One of the reasons I love Copp, JTC, and I like the Appleton signing is because their presence keeps Larkin off the PK. Larkin does NOT belong on a PK unit. It's a missuse of personel. Keep that kid in the Ozone as much as you fuqqing can. Similarly, it's a missuse/disservice to Seider to ask him to play this style game. We desperately need another big minute RHD, so that we can drop Seider's minutes from 25 min a night, to something like 22-23 min a night, in which he can play more free/loose/explosive. Honestly - keeping Hronek around may have alllowed that to happen, and a more natural progression to Seiders development may have ensued. But he's been forced to be something he's not here, and it pains me to watch. ASP cant come quick enough.

Gentle reminder of what SY and Lalonde have squandered and ruined... I'm begging Mclellan... stop wasting this kids talent as a lidstrom-esque game manager. I remember a quote from Bowman when the Russian 5 debuted: "idk who taught you guys to play like that, but dont change anything" STOP trying to change Seider and just unleash him. I miss the bad-azz from years 1 and 2. Let him do his thing. God plz.

Ohio = pure azz flyover state Illinois = at least every chicago fuq has to drive down Michigan Ave every day Indiana = this still exists? Wisconsin = thinks the UP is their's. Thinks the NFC north is their's. But I promise you Wisconsin, Michigander's are just as drunk and stupid as you are, and were coming for the rust belt title hombre.

The family and I are planning a road trip to Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal next month...Not sure I want to go after watching the video...Such a violent country.
