    Edvinsson’s goal
  2. Because if these challenges aren’t serious enough to stop Edmonton from wanting him back then why would they be serious enough for Detroit to move on?

    Edvinsson just made Askarov look like a beer leaguer. Holy smokes!

    Ugh, this is absolutely f*cking horrible. These poor people. I can't even imagine. https://x.com/GrindLinePod/status/1730595160960946364?s=20
  6. If his off ice "challenges" are so bad, and have existed since he played in Edmonton, why would Edmonton trade assets to get him back? The source, and it's author, are completely idiotic. Go ahead and base your thoughts on this kind of crap if you like, but I'd consider thinking about it for more than two or three seconds next time.

    I mean, he already is destroying the AHL. He's on pace for 50 pts. on the season. That's insane for a 20 year old defenseman. But your point is taken.
  8. I know, I said as much earlier. Our pal up here is trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill vis-a-vis Kostin and his "challenges". I'd have to think management is happy with his play overall and see no reason why they'd be in a rush to move on from him. Particularly when he's still under contract for another year.
  9. That game could have been 12-1. Happy to see Lyon turn in another strong performance. If our goaltending can stay steady while our defense comes around we're going to be a problem for teams in the division.
  10. Exactly, he had the same issues and SY traded for and extended him. Plus, we are currently paying Kailer Yamamoto half a million dollars a year not to play for us specifically because we wanted Kostin. I doubt they're dissatisfied. He's also not been "in and out" of the lineup. He's played 18 of 22 games.

    I was thinking trade, not waiving someone. I'd imagine Maatta makes the most sense.
  12. I know he was scratched once for "conduct issues". Speculation was that he was late for a meeting. Happens all the time. Walman was scratched for the same thing last year and now he's on our top pair. The Wings traded for Kostin and then signed him to a multi year deal. They pretty clearly like his game.
  13. I've said it before, but I really like Christian Fischer. He's almost an ideal 4th liner, he's big, strong, fast, and good defensively and on the PK. I hope they extend him.
  14. Klim Kostin is an absolute ox. I seriously wanna see him fight Reeves or some of the other top fighters in the league, I think he's totally in that league. He just ragdolled a really big dude in Connor Murphy.
  15. This is an absolute beating. I mean, I know Chicago sucks but I thought this would be a little closer considering we played last night against one of the top teams in the league. So JT Compher was a nice addition eh?
  16. Damn, Robby Fabbri is having a heck of a game. When we get Larkin and Kane in the lineup our forward group is going to look really really good.
  17. Two highlight reel goals in the first. Pretty solid start. Could have probably had two more. I'd really like to see us drop about 5 or 6 on them tonight.
  18. Our whole goal celebration is hilariously obnoxious. "Without Me" is a nice start, but when you add in the air horn and the "Woooo!" it takes it over the top. It's entertaining so I hope they keep it around, but only for this season.
  19. That's probably the nicest way to describe it. Alternatively you could have called it a total humiliation?
  20. Forget everything bad I've ever said about Robby Fabbri. That goal was siiiiiiiiiiick
  21. So...Bedard is never going to stop getting chirped on the ice about his mom and Corey Perry right? Like, dudes like Brad Marchand are never ever ever gonna let that go?

    "I'd like to DIRECTLY apologize to those who have been negatively affected"...indirectly referencing them, anonymously, in a press release. What a dumbf*ck.

    Simon Edvinsson is WAY too good to be in the AHL and we need to get him on the team pronto. I'm having a hard time figuring out what the team is trying to accomplish here. Lalonde said Edvinsson won't get called up so long as they have 7 healthy dmen. But he's obviously better than 4 (maybe 5) of them. I understand showcasing guys before the deadline and all, but we can't be throwing away points at this time of year and he's quite obviously a difference maker.
