I think we could be a .500 next season tbh. Our record is only as "bad" as it is because of the big losing streak earlier in the season when we had a bunch of guys out with covid.

Fingers crossed he uses the extra first to pull off another Vasilevskiy

I can confirm that he is happy with the return in this trade. Sorry to disappoint.

His move to the Oilers was much more impressive in that regard

Imagine being so fragile mentally that you have to cite posts from two years ago about that one time you were right about something. Hoping Rogle s***s the bed in the playoffs so Seider can come over before the season ends.

He cleared waivers at the start of the season. What makes you think he has any trade value?

Until the league decided to also add the "nobody gets a top 3 pick in consecutive years" clause, which would f*** the Wings even more. I can understand no back to back first overall picks. But no top 3 two years in a row is ridiculous.

He was no doubt the best NBC had. Pierre just comes off as creepy. Not a fan. I really like the Gord Miller and Ray Ferraro duo. Sadly we only get them for stuff like the World Juniors now.

WAFFLEBOARDED AWAY

I hated Emrick's unwillingness to say the words 'pass' or 'shoot'. Really good play by play guy outside of that gripe though.

The team IS playing better though. With the exception of having 5 guys out for Covid, it's been all competitive, 1 goal games. They reduced their goals against by nearly an entire goal. The team struggles to score. That's it. And that is simply a lack of firepower. Coaching can't fix that. Ryan has been the only offensive addition, and he has been playing well. Bert is also out for an extended period. Most improvements have been made on the blueline. Hence why the team is better defensively. There are still no offensive dmen outside of Hronek on the team. That's where the struggle to score begins. The roster is still a bottom 5 roster in the league. Albeit a much more competitive one than last year, and a big part of that is COACHING. No coach is gonna come to Detroit and make the team any noticeably better. The roster is the problem, and Yzerman is only in year #2 of his rebuild. Get used to it, because we have a couple years of this left yet. With or without a new coaching staff.

Comrie is on waivers! Yzerman can fix the organization's biggest ever mistake!

Team has improved defensively by almost an entire goal against compared to this stage last season. Imagine how much better that stat would be if not for all the Covid protocol roster issues early on. The first 4 games the roaster showed continued improvement. Then Covid losses. But ever since players came back (specifically most of the second line), I've been pretty happy with how things have gone. These one goal losses will eventually start to turn into one goal wins.

Because clearly that was the final straw in a pattern of s***ty behaviour and not just a one off thing. TDA is cancer. That's why he is out of a job.

Smith definitely overtaing Svech on the ol protection list

Y'all taking the bait

It's another one of CRL's idiotic sock accounts

I'll be sure to spell it out for the simpletons like you next time

I'm not talking about a portion of a game that's getting out of hand and the line blender comes out, I mean a legit look, like 2-3 games playing with Larkin and a goal scorer like Ryan. Also sad that you now resort to trying to pass as other forum members as for sock accounts now.

Hoping they take Smith, but I'm guessing they take a dman.

We need Zadina and Fabbri back in the worst way. Brome should also get a look in the top 6. Dudes a puck hound.

Nielsen and Erne would have to be waived for the taxi squad.

'A former first' might mean something if he were 20 years old. The guy is 24. Nobody is picking him up. Teams waived players to set their final rosters, they aren't gonna suddenly start claiming others unless it's a too good to pass up player. Svech is not that.

Makes me appreciate Lidstrom retiring when he did. Sure, he could have played a few more years easily. But I'm glad we never had to sit back and watch him be a shell of his former self, and that he got to go out at an elite level.

Cholowski sucks
