Perron with the ENG! Victory! Wings win 5-2! Something special about handing the Bruins BOTH of their two regulation losses!

I heard he had a deal done w Chicago, but he backed out at the last minute because he was afraid Perry would bang his mom.

Do you remember the Alfredsson season? He led the team in points. 18G/31A. Dragged them into the playoffs. Zetterberg and Datsyuk were very unhealthy for the 2nd half of that season. Richards and Modano were total failures tho for sure.

We need a goalie not a broken down winger with a billion miles on the odometer. We also need to send one of our old broken down D-Men to Siberia and bring Edvinsson up permanently.

Every time Kevin Weekes calls a game I’m reminded why I’d like to see him jettisoned into space on a rocket.

The league is run by wussies. I understand the anti-russian reasoning for games or events today, but for honouring the best from years gone by? I get it, but it sucks. Free Pavel

Victory!

Here's hoping this goes better than Alfredsson, Richards, or Modano eh?

The new year is just around the corner. Maybe he makes another resolution.

If only Rasmussen would stop being Regressmussen

Was thinking the same...Keep Larkin/Raymond together (add Perron, or Veleno, or whomever to their line)...Makes 2 solid scoring threats.

Victory! South Detroit! Perron with his 299th and 300th career goals. Ghost with the ENG. Wings win 4-1!

1/5 of the season is done and we are at the American thanksgiving day bench mark. Historically 76% of teams in a playoff position at this point of the season go on to make the playoffs. Currently we are outside looking in: 1. Boston 2. Florida 3. Tampa 4. Toronto 5. Detroit The good: Dcat and Larkin are leading the team well in production. Raymond is having the bounce back season we expected. Compher is legit, and not solely a product of the Avs offense as hoped. Sprong has added good scoring deph, and Veleno is having a better season finally. The bad: Perron is starting to show signs of regression with his age. Copp is playing like meh again. Rasmussen has not built on any of last years growth and is looking like the big rig pansy Johnny E out there. Fabbri is productive when here but just can't stay healthy. The good: Seider and Walman are leading the backend as expected. Ghostbear is basically just an extra forward out there that needs to be sheltered, but he's playing in that role well. Chiarot is having a better season. Holl is not the disaster Leafs fans made him out to be, and is a pretty good defensive dman. The bad: Petry isn't the player he once was. Maata isn't playing his best hockey right now, but he also has to cover for Petry or Ghostbear most nights. The good: Reimer and Lyon are both playing well. The bad: Husso should just let Reimer and Lyon split time until he gets his head on straight. For us to make the playoffs I think we need make a real push for Patrick Kane. That could be the extra spark or oomph to push us into a wildcard spot. And I think signing a former cup champ superstar at this point of the season would be a real vote of confidence and morale booster in the room. If it doesn't work out oh well, at least we tried. If we have to sell we need to unload Perron and Ghostbear. Perron at his age isn't worth re-signing for us, and we should sell high on Ghostbear for the return. Sprong and Fischer I would like to keep and extend IMO. Both are young and have provided good depth. I think it would be good to explore a trade for Maata and Husso as well. Then end the season like this: DCat - Larkin - Kane Copp - Compher - Raymond Berggren - Veleno - Sprong Kostin - Rasmussen - Fischer Czarnik LTIR: Fabbri Walman - Seider Edvinsson - Holl Chiarot - Petry McIsaac Lyon Reimer

SHUTOUT! Felt great to spend some time in their zone even with the lead. Great job Lyon!

1. tanking didn't work 2. This is only the first year of "mediocrity" so why don't you settle down

Last night's game was pretty damning for the Griffins' veteran leadership. Anybody who follows the AHL knows that the teams that generally make the playoffs are those with a lot of AHL veterans in key positions. For Grand Rapids that's guys like Hirose, L'Esperance, Spezia, Shine, Didier, Gettinger, etc. Those guys got absolutely exposed last night. The Griffs gave up 5 even strength goals and Hirose, Didier (the captain), and McIsaac were on the ice for three apiece. None of our young defenders (Edvinsson, Wallinder, Johansson) got scored on at all. Offensively the young guys led the way again, with Hanas, Berggren, and Lombardi each scoring to keep the game respectable. Spezia was the only vet that scored. L'Esperance was the Griffins leading goal scorer a year ago, he's got no goals and 2 assists through 11 games. Hirose and Gettinger are the only vets providing any real offense and they're getting caved defensively most nights. In a league where veteran leadership really matters, the Griffs are sorely lacking. But don't let that fool you into thinking the kids aren't playing well. They're the only bright spots on the team.

Hey now, Zadina is due to break out at any moment

What about John Gibson? He's a stud goalie and his contract is bad enough that Anaheim may be willing to eat part of it just to get it off the books while they're rebuilding. If they'd eat a million bucks and we'd get Gibson at 5.5 million for the next three years I'd be pretty happy with that outcome.

WOO!

I think Edmonton will continue to tinker for the remainder of this year and next (until the trade deadline). They've got Draisaitl under contract this year and next, no sense pulling the cord until they have to. But I fully expect him to walk in free agency. He hates it in Edmonton and the team is absolutely trash. But man is he going to get PAID when he hits free agency. Fun Fact: Draisaitl is buddies with Mo Seider. Just sayin'.

Yeah you're right. That was a pretty lame attempt to score the Oiler's 1st. I'll go back to the drawing board for something more realistic.... maybe a Draisaitl (with extension) acquisition if Edmonton throws in the towel in a couple of months.

What does it take for us to get McDavid? I think we should offer Pellika, Kasper, Veleno, a 1st, and a 2nd for McDavid and a 3rd.
