12/8 Window or Isle GDT - Islanders @ Red Wings - 7:00 PM ET
HoweFan replied to Dabura's topic in General
Velano, McIassac, Bergrenn, and Hronek among others will change some of those close games into bigger victories. Life will be good again soon -
Thank you Much better news than what I was expecting

12/8 Window or Isle GDT - Islanders @ Red Wings - 7:00 PM ET

We probably should have seen this one coming. After playing four really good teams and more than holding our own we come up against we should beat and come up flat. It happens. Ask the fans of those four teams how they felt about those games ( even Colorado ) and they likely werent thrilled. We lost. Learn and move on. We’ve played close to 30 games and only been blown out twice. Overall it’s been a good year -
If we are within shouting distance of a playoff spot how are we going to be able to sell off Howard or Gus? What kind of message does that send to the the young guys on this team who have busted their ass getting this far?
-
We got five points out of eight against four top rated teams. Congrats to the Wings. I thought the Leafs goalie was brutal but that’s their problem. Never thought we could do it with the guys we have missing
-
Geez can we just get through a game without losing someone. Hopefully its Hronek that gets a call. Our position in the Hughes sweepstakes will likely get better with all these injuries
-
Only way to tank.
-
Bring up McIlrath for a couple games and pair him with Witkowski on defense. Bring back the memories of Bob and Joey
-
Does anyone know when this site will renew with the new list of 2019 draftees
-
Kind of surprised Kirby Dach wasn’t invited. Not sure what draft eligible did The Prince Albert Raiders have two invited. Ian Scott is the best goalie in the West. Brett Leason is tearing the league up in scoring. Their team has lost once this year and is on a 19 game winning streak at the moment
-
Oops “doing” sorry

It’s fun to be a Red Wing again. The NHL, GR, the Walleye, Juniors, College, and Europe. We have guys lying well everywhere

12/2 Fly or Die GDT - Avalanche @ Red Wings - 7:00 PM ET
HoweFan replied to Dabura's topic in General
Second game in two nights against one of the elites. Sounds like we’re doing ok. We own the third! -
Can anyone tell me what kind of injury does Alex Turcotte has and when will he return ?
-
That for the most part, our young guys are the ones that are doing the scoring and we aren't being led by our older vets. Larkin, Mantha, AA, Bert, and Cholo are all doing well. Ras is contributing and looks good. Hopefully we get four or five players from last years draft and a couple more this year.
-
I think we can get one good goalie out of Eliasson, Petruzzelli, Larsson, or Fulcher. Maybe two. As for the defense, Alec Regula is having a good year and Lindstrom is doing fine in Sweden. I don't know much about Seth Barton but he could be a sleeper. Then we will have this years draft to add to our prospect pool. I think we will be fine
-
I think we have a number of players in our system right now that will fill in seven or eight of those question marks. A good draft this year with a defenseman involved will go along way in completing or rebuild.
-
Thanks. I saw my mistake on another website shortly after my post. Oh well the Isles pick may be better for us anyways

Official 2018 NHL Amateur Entry Draft Discussion Thread

I was hoping for Wilde also. However there was a reason every team in the league passed on him. Apparently he had a very bad predraft interview with most teams. I guess it raised a few red flags. I’d like to give our third round pick Alec Regula a pat on the back. He’s having a very good year for London on a team that is loaded with high profile defensemen. He wasn’t on my radar at the draft but I’m happy he’s ours now -
The extra second round pick we own I assume is from Vegas I’m guessing. Be nice if we could find a couple more MacIssac’s with them. Their pick and ours should be late 30’s I think
-
Has anyone heard anything on their injuries. I saw a picture of Helm going off the ice and it didn't look good. I read on the game blog that Ras may also have got hurt.
-
I didn’t go to the game but the stats were easy. Zeros across the board for both players. That’s a disappointment. Lethbridge won 3-1.
-
My hometown Blades are hosting the Lethbridge Broncos tonight. It’s Dach verses Cousins. Sorry I’m not going but I would give a lousy scouting report anyway
-
I’ve never seen any of them either despite living in the same town Dach plays in. It’s just fun to speculate, make a choice, and then change my mind tomorrow. Today it’s Broberg
-
Ok fair enough
