    3/14 Conductor GDT - Lightning @ Red Wings - 7:30 PM ET

    Man, I like game day threads a lot. Can we leave the non-hype posts out of game day threads?

    Not really. 18.5% odds are a lot better than 9% odds. If we get stupid at the end like we did last year, we could find ourselves in the 4th spot instead of 2nd or first. I hate the fact that our brass doesn't realize how much Dahlin mattered. Dahlin + Hughes and our rebuild would have been expedited 5-7 years.

    Good. No lose, no Hughes.

    If Glendog scores on a forehander, do it!

    2018 Prospects Watch

    So right now, we have 5 high end prospects in: Zadina Veleno Hronek Cholowski Larsson That's not a prospect POOL. That's a SPA at best. And calling those guys high level is a stretch. Zadina is the only guy in there that I would say is high level. Could the others get there? Sure. I'm not rooting against them by any means. But I'm also not a homer and going to say Veleno is a high level prospect like Kakko or Cozens. He may turn out to be Pavel Daysyuk part 2. He might also turn out to be Riley Sheahan part 2. The fact is that Colorado picking 1 and 9 this year puts their prospect pool light years ahead of ours. And they already have a great young team and deep farm system. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sportingnews.com/us/amp/nhl/news/nhl-top-prospects-best-worst-farm-system-draft-history-sabres-flyers-canucks-penguins/tn8fb6mqnial16bxvtds5dacu The sky isn't falling. But we need a few blue chippers like Hughes to make complimentary guys like Rasmussen effective.
  13. I'm in agreement with KRS here. The left handedness has to STOP NOW. You have to have right handed players to work the left side of the ice. Especially on a power play. Drafting/Aquiring 20 left handed forwards does us zero good. Larkin/AA/Veleno/Rasmussen. There's your center depth. Hughes/Zadina/Mantha/Bertuzzi. There's your LW depth. Glendening/Frk. There's your RW depth. Sure, Nielsen, Abdelkader, Helm, De La Rose, Ehn, and Svechnikov can plug in on the RW while we are sucking. That helps the tank. But the reason we SUCK and are losing while trying instead of trying to lose is in large part due to not having 2 big righties that can score and forecheck. We play on 2/3 of the offensive ice instead of all of it. Easy for 2 defenders to cover 3 forwards playing in 2/3 of the zone. Like guarding a basketball player that can only use 1 hand.

    Its NOT stacked. We have men dominating kid leagues. When your kids dominate men leagues, THEN your prospect pool is stacked. Larkin Athanasiou Mantha Zadina Bertuzzi Heonek Cholowski Sulak Lindstrom Mcaisaac Those are guaranteed guys that don't hurt us. Bowey Rasmussen Veleno Berggren Svechnikov Ehn De La Rose These are maybes. Beyond that, we just have meh.
  15. Holland is hoping the average Wings fan thinks Hirose is Hughes.
  16. It's called Tanking
  17. Can't believe Abdwlkader has the contract he has. He sucks so hard.
  18. AA Sweet. Hype it up.
  19. I just started watching. Expect a comeback win. I have panda Express too.
  20. Is Dekeyser 47 years old?
