That's interesting... it's a move that won't salvage this season but might prevent players from regressing or stunting the growth of young guys. Also we need a coach to tell Rasmussen to play like a man or sit in the press box.

Ill just put this here. Jake Walman is a healthy scratch for SJS. The new fortnite came out 3 days ago. Wonder what ol Jakey's been focused on lately...

For anyone who missed it, this is probably the best Wings clip in years: Big clean hit, then Simon being completely uninterested in beating up a Sens midget. Almost an annoyed "ok calm down little boy" look.

The Chadriot: 1. Head parallel to easily look everyone directly in the eyes 2. Confident upright posture to intimidate predators 3. Thick bulked torso in order to be unmovable by others 4. Outstretched arms that constantly flail in wild unpredictable ways 5. Open palms ready to grab any fertile poosy that may venture too close The Zagina: 1. Looking downward, too shy for direct eye contact 2. Slouched posture from lack of self confidence 3. Small girlish frame that's easily pushed around 4. Arms down at his side in order to not impolitely invade someone elses space 5. Unsure what to do with his hands, and unable to find a comfortable position for them

I watched the Lions tonight instead of the Wings, imagine if they get Hutchinson back deep in playoffs on top of it. Gibbs/Monty combo have been just a blast to watch. Looks like Husso played well tonight at least, yet another game where our goalie holds the opposing team to 2 goals and still can't get them the W. Offense sucks s*** 5 on 5 this year, something needs to change. I thought Kane/Tarasenko would be more difference makers for goal scoring at least. Tired of losing, if you haven't hopped on the Lions train yet, do so. They are very fun to watch this season.

For anyone who didn't watch the first Griffs game that was tonight... Kasper was out of control good. 1 goal and 1 assist. Looked extremely dominate. Had a chip on his shoulder and was very mean and aggressive. Kid is going to be on the team berry soon

We are playing a ton faster.

Naturally SY grabbed the only guy with a connection to the Wings. This thing he has about only hiring guys hes worked with b4 leaves us somewhat limited. However Todd has a lot of coaching under his belt. SY basically 180ed from rookie to well seasoned. He's also shown to be good at coaching rebuild teams. Just cant get it done in the playoffs. Bigger story is Boughner and his terrible PK are gone. However, Todd plays boring trap defense, so dont expect games to get more exciting... I personally did not expect a firing so soon... now that it happened im starting to wonder if SYs seat is hotter than anyone expects. We are in year 6 and the team looks like its in another year of the mediocrity cycle. A lot of his moves the past 2 years have been head scratchingly dumb... Walman, Fabbri, Gustafsson, Tarasenko, Kostin, bad coaches, goalie carousel, not buying, not selling. He probably has a longer leash than anyone, but if this was anyone not named SY, this move would stink like desperation to save ones job...

Seider for sure had some jump last night. The whole team looked like they were comfortable and playing loose and not “gripping their sticks too tight”. I’m sure Lalonde hated it. Like Babcock before him, he’d rather lose a game 2-1 than win a game 6-5.

Everytime the forum goes down, I send him a facebook message, then all of a sudden (coincidence maybe) it's back up and running. This last time, it was down all weekend (or more) and today I sent the message, and it was back up shortly thereafter. I will continue that as long as it seems to be working. Hopefully he will promote a couple more of us and we can help take care of this place.

This team is so uninspired it's sad... they need to change the coach ASAP. That's the only thing that can easily be done. Then serious changes need to be made to the roster.

It has affected my watching as soon as I see a cycle starting I immediately assume its the toys and say i hope Scott isn't having a heart attack while screaming

No, but they do have a man child that refers to various players on the O-line as peniz pump and strapon

If I remember correctly he was just madly in love Franzen back then, and would flip out when anyone said we shoulda kept Hossa.

I don't get it. We need players who can actually play defense, I didn't think Maatta was part of the problem.

You da man. We will all keep political talk to dms.

I noticed this topic but LGW had been offline so I couldn't reply. It's become pretty obvious that Matt is seemingly done with this place, along with the other mods outside of one rarely popping in. I've attempted contact with Matt for a few years with no reply, unfortunately he is the only one that can promote users to moderators. I'll commit to checking back here and trying to get involved again, clearing out the spam accounts and try to keep an eye on things if you guys still want me around. My only stipulation is I really want to keep political discussion and politics off the boards, this became an issue of why I left the first time around, I was the only one trying to regulate it and the normal users here refused to end politics here, I got tired of having to constantly remind people. That's where i'm at with it, if the politics can be kept at a minimum and we make an attempt to follow the guidelines of what LGW was long before the activity dropped off, i'll stop by here at least 3-4 times a week and try to be around for GDTs also. I'm also willing to loosen up a lot on certain things, stuff like users ragging on each other, as long as it's friendly enough, i'll toss "personal attacks" out the window unless it gets way out of hand. We've known each other long enough to know what to expect from each other by now, and i'm fine with that. Just let me know if you guys want me to be part of this going forward, I am on HFBoards a lot now because this place died off so fast when the team started sucking. I wouldn't mind being a regular around here again.

Adding CHIAROT IS THE GOAT to the end of all of Scotts posts would be fun and cool

no idea ....but I am okay with the spam have a new Russian bride coming next week. Guess I need to inform the wife

I'm still convinced this team would be better off with someone else behind the bench...

Pass on Swayman. Now he's out here doing interviews were he said he still has a bitter taste in his mouth from his arbitration hearing last season. Apparently he's holding his team's feet to the fire because during arbitration he didn't get as much as he thought he was worth and he's holding out this year because he's all pissy pants about it. What a loser, I'd rather wait on Cossa and Augustine.

Larkin in criminally underrated. He played 99% of his career on a historically bad re-building team and has still hovered around a point per game. Then suddenly he's got Raymond, Dcat, and Kane and he's over a point per game. What a surprise. Give the guy actual talent and he thrives, but make him drag around losers like Mantha, AA, Kubalik, and Bertuzzi and he'll get them career seasons doing all the work himself. If we win a Cup with Larkin as the 1C people will suddenly "discover" how good he is, but only after trying to convince us that they were right all along and he's only now "taking it to another level" or something dumb like that. I've got more respect for Larkin than I do for almost any other current NHL player. Half these "superstars" walked onto teams loaded with top talent (cough...McDavid...cough...Mathews...cough cough...Kucherov). Larks has been like Moses leading his people through the desert. A true leader.

The moneys spent, that would Ice the best squad possible in my opinion. Thats what’s important

https://x.com/DetroitRedWings/status/1836826666644955497 The #RedWings have signed Moritz Seider to a seven-year contract with an AAV of $8,550,000.

this aged well. Mo at 8.5×7 is much better than 9.5×8.
