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

I don't care whether Seider fights or not, but I do wish Kostin/Fischer/Chiarot would have beat the sh*t out of someone last night. Both Fabbri and Larkin got hit hard in the numbers. Would have liked to see some kind of response there.

“Detroit now with a 1% chance of making the playoffs” Nerds

WooHoo! OT winner again! South Detroit!

I guess I'm just kinda wondering what the plan is here. Larkin right now is probably the best he's going to be. Seider and Raymond have become leaders and this is the last time you'll have them on ELCs. Lyon feels a bit like lightning in a bottle; he could fall off next season and then we'd be boned in net. If we're waiting for the next wave of prospects to establish themselves as impact players, we're probably gonna be waiting another two or three or more years. Edvinsson's probably gonna be RealGud at some point, but I dunno that he's a serious impact NHLer now or even next season. I'm happy that Kasper's playing better of late, but I dunno that he's an impact NHLer next season or even the season after that. Danielson probably spends at least a year in the AHL. ASP's got a long way to go, I fear. Soderblom's starting to feel like a 7th-round pick. Berggren seems to be on his way out. Mazur...is pretty good...in the AHL...when he's not hurt...? So...what's the score? Where we at? Are we waiting for Seider to learn how to play 50 minutes a night? Are we waiting on a big fish in free agency? I'm not even asking for any blockbuster moves. I just want winning to be rewarded. If we're still in a wildcard spot at the end of the month, I think the worst thing you could do to this team is tell them: "Well, this was never really gonna be a big push year for us anyway, because we've got prospects coming and that means we have to wait a bit longer, because what we're working towards is having a team that's got some depth to it. And the D group I put together was really more just kind of a treading water kinda thing, because we've got some prospects coming." Don't mortgage the future. But if it really does look like we're headed for a best-of-seven with Boston/Florida/NYR, let's invest in ruining that franchise's season.

Big win. Canada is dumb. We want the Cup.

The more I think about it the more I think Yzerman makes one or two trady-poohs. He'll never have Mo n Ray n Kane n Ras n Walman this cheap at the same time ever again. Upgrade the D and add a top 6 winger.

>badluck Luring an aged but productive superstar to Detroit at low cost, with the current state of the team, is masterful GM work. Wings fans... are we already spoiled again? We had no business signing Patrick Kane at all. But Yzerman got it done. Shut your mouths and appreciate it. My favorite, and simultaneously least favorite, thing about the wings fan base has always been how spoiled we are. It's fun to look down on the inferior sub-teams when we have Lidstrom and Yzerman and Zetterberg and dominate for over a decade. And I encourage this behavior. But when we have no business bragging, STFU and appreciate what little we have. Suggesting near ppg Patrick Kane is a problem is insane, and every other team would love to have him at the price we got him. Talking about luck is just insane in general. And yes I realize OP is a bait fish. But I feel like it's good time to point how much of a large stride we made this past year. We are on track to be looking down our nose at the rest of the league again in a few years. I truly miss the days when I could walk into a Vancouver bar on a night they're playing Nashville or something, in my Wings jersey, and both fan bases chant F the Wings. I miss being universally hated for our yankee level success so much. But fuqqing know when it's time sock betch.

My job requires it.

Hey, look who we found!

Veleno is stepping up in a big way.

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.

ESPN tears are the most delicious.

Anybody see the Toronto/Ottawa debacle last night? Oh it was sweet. A couple of things, 1) If I'm Toronto's management I'm not mad at all at Morgan Reilly for attacking this kid. You have to. But he 100% deserves a suspension. 2) We need to trade for Ridly Greig right now. The absolute balls on this kid to do that to Toronto cannot be overstated. https://x.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1756508343051383252?s=20

Imagine being a sens fan

first time he back checked since Hawks cup in 15

Copp! Rayzor ENG!    

Sprong is a horse. Love that guy. i get the feeling he’s a lil dumb in the brain tho. Prob why he can’t find his forever home.

Goal-tending has been trash this year, but Lalonde isn't doing anything within the realm of appropriate to cover for that weakness. For example, when Babs saw his entire defense become complete poopy besides Kronwall (DK, KFQ, Kindl, Smith, Ouellet, and Marchenko rounding out the roster) he appropriately buttoned down the hatches, and it worked. Why? Because he correctly identified that still had superb defensive forwards in his forward group, like Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Helm, Glendening, and others, as well as a decent enough goalie in Howard. So he could go into a low event shell (and play entire games this way), and his forwards and goalie would cover for his terrible D. It sucked for us fans to watch, but it worked and we still managed to make the playoffs. THIS team is not built at all the same way. 1. We have no Howards - our net is trash 2. The only good shutdown defenders we have are Walman and Seider, and in fact we have multiple purely offensive minded Dmen like Ghost and Petry. 3. We have exactly ZERO stalwart defensive forwards. Our best probably being Compher (And DO NOT tell me Dylan zero Selke votes Larkin is some kind of Zberg or Dats). What this team does well is SCORE. Dcat, Larkin, Raymond, Kane, Ghost, Seider, Compher, even Walman is hitting the stat sheet like never before in his career. We are not built to back off. If we backoff our terrible goalies get lit up and there's no one to stop that. If Lalonde was intelligent he would have realized this 20 games ago. We HAVE to play a full 60, and we HAVE to go for number 6 and 7 when we are up by 5. It's the only way. Fuq Derek this guy is trash.

I realize this is anecdotal, but Bob Kaser (the Griffins play by play guy) said during tonight's broadcast that "everyone he talks to around the NHL thinks Edvinsson is going to be a perennial All-Star". Obviously take this with all the appropriate caveats but the last time I heard him say anything like that was in reference to Mo Seider.

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