I grew up watching Wings games with my grandpa and think about him often on nights like tonight. I wish he could have seen this game. But not as much as I wish Tyler Bertuzzi could have seen it. -

Watching Kane is crazy. Like, I've always known he was really good. But he's WAY better than I ever thought. That pass was unreal. Seider with another huge block and he gets the clear. I don't care if he's only a 1% corsi, I don't want him getting healthy scratched for Wyatt Newpower like some around here do. -

Griffs ended Admirals 19 game streak tonight. For those counting that is three straight convincing wins Cossa has had vs the Wallstedt/Askavov combo 37/39 saves for Big Bird tonight. -

Yzerman not trading Chiarot for the raw-chicken-eating version of Mr Glass. Ben is almost as beloved in the room as Perron. We dodged the Ottawa loser cooties in the Debrincat trade. No need to temp fate again. -

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. -

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. -

Yzerplan Problems
town123 and 3 others reacted to LeftWinger for a post in a topic
Fedorov was a wing on the Russian 5 line. Plus he also played D. Does any of this have anything to do with The Yzerplan? We have 2 pages of arguing about who played C and now plays W. This could be it's own thread. Yzerplan. I, as well as most people, tend to give Yzerman lots of leash and lots of passes because he's such an icon here. If Holland were still GM, we'd (still) be calling for him to be fired if he made the same moves or lack of moves that Yzerman has. Especially after this past TDL. While I don't really have too much of a problem with his plan so far, but if you think of a couple of other teams that were also rebuilding the same time we were (Rangers, Canucks, Devils) we are still way behind in our rebuild. Although Rangers and Devils have been gifted 1st overall and in some cases, multiple #1s, and top 4s. But nonetheless, we are still way behind them despite having top 10 picks the last 6 or 8 years. Holland absolutely killed us with Zadina. Vancouver drafted ahead of us the year prior and just behind us the Zadina year. Not going D that year was the most...nevermind that could be yet another thread! Point being, they were rebuilding the same time we were and now look at them compared to us. I'm not convinced Lalonde is the guy to lead them either. My biggest question with the plan was, why did he keep Blashill around so long? That makes me afraid that he'll just keep Lalonde around far, far too much longer than he should. Obviously we weren't there when he was interviewing coaches, so we don't know who he called or who wasn't interested. It just seems Lalonde was the guy no matter what. IMO there were at least 3 better choices. Larionov, Fedorov and Grönborg. Fedorov being the wildcard. But they didn't call Igor The Professor for no reason. Nobody thinks the game like he does. Again, maybe these guys weren't interested, but to me, it just seemed like Lalonde was his guy from the start, and he wasn't going to consider anyone else. I would've liked to have seen a coach that was new and had ideas that 31 other coaches don't already have. There's nothing special about Lalonde. Nothing that sets him apart. And my one gripe about TDL. I think Roslovic could've and would've been an upgrade to our top 9 and think most definitely he would've been worth the 4th(3rd) that Rangerd paid for him. -

Word around the campfire is YzerMAN traveled down to Grand Rapids just to fart on Berggren. Walked into the locker room, told Kasper he's not playing tonight, and crop dusted the Swede on the way out. Incredible. -

I genuinely think that the hockey media has owned the narrative forever, and they don't know s***, and that's why nobody knows how to make sense of teams like the Wings. I was listening to a podcast the other day and Max Bultman (and other people from the Athletic) were debating something and Max offhandedly mentioned that maybe having a McDavid type player is actually bad for team building and those other dorks couldn't scoff hard enough. Like, how DARE he impune the notion that superstars aren't all they're cracked up to be. The entire calculus for hockey media is "You've got stars and you shoot alot, ipso facto you're a contender". Except there are tons of examples of that not working. Worse, there are almost zero counter narratives in media. I give Jared Keeso a lot of credit for this. He's the only guy talking about hockey who dares say something like "maybe giving a s*** and not being a p*ssy matters more than being pretty". There are several episodes of "Shoresy" devoted to it. But his show is "fiction" so nobody runs with it. I'd give anything to see hockey media address a few of these questions: If star power matters so much why do even the most legendary players (think Lidstrom) only win a few times in their careers? If statistical modeling can only tell us what we already know (Colorado is good) but not what we don't know (Vancouver is GOING to be better than you think) what value does it really have? If players matter so much why does a team like Vancouver go from terrible to exceptional from year to year with almost no change in personnel? If puck possesson matters so much why do GMs and coaches not just load up their teams with the best possession players they can get? If the draft lottery is such a game changer why haven't Edmonton and Toronto even won a conference title? Why doesn't Buffalo suck? Why is New Jersey regressing as they put more lottery picks into their lineups. IMO these are all super interesting questions that I'd love to read articles about, but nobody working in the hockey media will even ask the questions. Instead we get "Who's the most stylish Maple Leaf". -
