I still come for the free alcohol.

Y'all still home-ohs - especially Jimmy...

Fun fact I learned today... Early football teams typically chose their name based off of the baseball team in their city. So the Chicago Bears were named after the Chicago Cubs. Detroit Lions was chosen because of the Detroit Tigers. And the name Packers came from the old Milwaukee butt fuqqers of the federal baseball league.

I guess we could have included Zadina somehow. What? too soon?

I came back in to this thread thinking there would be hot milf pics...I am disappointed.

Another thing I was noticing in the last few games is how weak we are in front of our own goal. Lots of traffic not being cleared, and a lot of tipped goals in the last few games. If you cant out muscle someone to move them, at least tie up their stick.

This place is like the shops along route 66 after the expressway was put in. A few visitors here and there .... As far as the team I think if they play scrappy they give themselves a chance. Try to run with a faster team we dont have the horses to play that game. Hoping Kasper regains his mojo, Danielson is figuring things out. Harmonic - this years Holl I would rather see JBD as he and Albert seem to mesh better. I do like putting Benny down with ASP for some reason. Goalies - cant live with them or without them just hoping Gibson gets over whatever is plaguing him and Talbot remains steady. Love to see playoffs but not working on the parade route .......yet

John Leonard with 2 pts in 3 games! Time for some Jack... This kid is better than half our forwards. More than a few times so far he's set other guys up and they just can't finish. He would have more points if our players didn't suck.

To add, Ajo and Soderblom have been terrible as well. I'd send down Soderblom as well and call up old reliable, Dominik Shine, to take his spot. Ajo we don't have an internal replacement for. Trade for someone. Our bottom pair D is poop.

Lucky for him he didn't have to back to GR. He has a hard time finding it. Last time he ended up in GR Ohio.

BearGrin claimed by the Blues. Hope he doesn't turn into Mr. Snipey Snipe for them.

John Leonard called up. Has been a beast for the griffins. Well deserved.

They wanted a young center coming back and Detroit doesn’t have any centers who are both expendable AND better than Marco Rossi. Ohgren is a Carter Mazur level prospect and Buium is comparable to ASP. So basically Minny gave up a package equivalent to a better Danielson/Kasper, ASP, Mazur, and a 1st. I’d have been happy to trade something like that for Hughes, but we just didn’t have the premium piece they needed at center.

HF mods are out of control. Soupnahtzee is the worst. Any non-commonly held opinion about the team = locked, suspended, banned. My first account there, I wrote a long post about why I didn't think Zadina would be a successful NHL player and why. Banned. 1-2 year later the entire board agrees Zadina sucks and now you can post "Zadina is a child molesting demon" with no sources or reasoning behind it... I've had several accounts banned for shockingly frivolous things there. But if you're a regular, and the mods like you, you can get away with just about anything. Gotta be part of the cool kids club. We had a similar thing happening here for awhile... There was an ongoing personal message thread between like 12+ accounts called "the pool party". It was number9/CRL (me) + Kickazz + jimmyemeryhunter + krsmith + nervedamage + marcaractac + several other users, some of which still post here.... So I won't mention them. The message thread was mostly for sharing things you didn't want on the public board and discussing drama on the board among other "cool" guys you trusted. But it often escalated to the users in that group conspiring to mess with the board. Like we would decide how we were all gonna gang up on one user we didn't like or something in an argument. But that group never had any mods in it... Reason I'm sharing this: This same thing happens at HFboards, but on a larger scale, and it includes a mix of users and mods. All it takes is you politely disagreeing with the wrong popular user and that user will tell his mod "friend" to ban you. There's a club at HF... And you n I ain't in it. Team still sucks. Nothing will change until then.

I have hopes of a rebound as the team improves......HFBoards seems like a collection of folks who just like to argue IMHO.

Just popped over for the first time in ages, my HFBoards account is always getting locked. Bummer this place seemed to die off right as the Wingd are picking it up again…

its a bummer really. I miss this place.

But at least the site isn’t crashing

Plante - Plante - Plante, next year at Duluth is gonna be Hanson bros for sure. Puttin' on the foil.

Frank Ragnow unretiring and rejoining the team. FUNK YES I just fell to my knees in the Meijer's parking lot and spilled my vernors

I don't like that at all. We arent getting anything of substance for him, I hate the idea of trading an asset like that at such a low value, especially when Talbot isnt exactly Mr. Reliable either. Ride them both, as Im sure at some point Talbot get cold and Gibson gets hot. Hopefully Cossa ends up being brought up at some point, but until then I want to keep both vets.

I do agree, the Gibson experiment isn't working. He showed some good play during that intital 5 game win streak, but lately, ugh... maybe send him to a contender while eating 50% salary? I'd accept a lower prospect or a midling draft pick. Edmonton is still lookinf for a G. Also, Winnipeg just lost Hellebuyck for a couple of months after knee surgery.

Man I hope ASP is okay. Tanner Jeannot really nailed him into the boards. https://x.com/GinoHard_/status/1994953278220898569?s=20
