Not gonna fault a Canadian for holding that position I honestly didn't watch much of the tourney. Glad Veleno is advancing and not Zegras.

Enjoy your moment in the sun northman. THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN

Get on the discord or go to bed

I will advice future you not to have nerd kids who go to Uni

Boss: "Christopher... this is a sales meeting"

Sure man. No other Red Wing has ever used coke. Definitely. Good on ya, but your family man bubble is far from the same world these rich young athletes are treading in. Don't you live in an ideal world lol Pro Tip: If you ever wanna see the degeneracy these players get into, go hang out at The Woods Lounge in GR on a weekend. You'll get to meet some fine young 19/20 year old Griffins, with fake IDs, geeked up on drugs, getting falling down drunk. It's a good time.

"Future Red Wing captain Dylan Larkin slams his stick like a child again"

Future Red Wing? Why not Tim Strudel?

You're not wrong But among rich young adults I'd say cocaine is a lot more common than a lot of folks realize, or are at least willing to admit. It's like what weed is to not-so-rich young adults. Even if you don't do it yourself, you're still gonna run into a lot of folks who do. Don't mean to normalize it, but I think it's kinda the ugly truth. Also cocaine leaves ur system super fast, especially if you're in great shape like young athletes are. I imagine that's why most aren't that concerned about getting caught by the league. I don't really care personally if that's what he wants to do. As long as he's smart about it and saves it for a weekend here or there and doesn't get his dumb ass caught. But yeah, I'd definitely prefer he NOT do it. And if he wants to be captain he probably shouldn't being doing it. But I'm aslo saying there's probably more Red Wings on this team who have done coke at some point than those who haven't.

Sure, but that would throw a wrench in the narrative I'm spinning to make Seider captain

"Ding ding, another Sven who wishes he was a beautiful Suomi"

Someone else will have to clarify the cocaine rumors. I've heard second hand that the Dboss has a penchant for the special snow. But I tend to believe a lot of young players do coke from time to time, and it doesn't overly concern me TBH. As long as he doesn't develop a problem. But now he doesn't wanna go to the ASG? What so you can go party and blow off steam? Little concerning amidst some of the other things popping up... Yeah it probably wouldn't be in his first season. Maybe 2nd season at the very earliest. I just don't know how long Yzerman plans to run with 4 A's. Part of me thinks you can do it indefinitely, and part of me thinks you should hurry up and pick a captain at some point. Maybe name someone like Glendog captain in the meantime? IDK...

Straight off the bat, it's pure speculation... We had a game in Winnipeg earlier this season, then a day off, then we played Winnipeg in Detroit. The Wings were supposed to fly home to Detroit on that middle day off, but the plane broke down so the team had to spend an extra night in Winnipeg. Come game time for the game against Winnipeg in Detroit, Larkin and Athanasiou were both reported as sick and unsure if they were gonna play. Larkin ended up playing in the game last minute, but AA did not. AA was back for the next game after (awfully speedy recovery for the two of them). When asked about their "sickness" by the media, Larkin responded something along the lines of "Just that cold Winnipeg air got us". Anyway it screamed to me that the two went out boozin' and carryin' on during their extra night in Winnipeg. It's exactly what I would've done when I was 23/24. They were temporarily "sick" the next day cause they were hungover as all hell prolly. Which explains the speedy recovery by the two of them. But to Larkin's credit he manned up and played at the last minute. I'm not overly miffed about it, that's what young guys do, but the behavior is setting a bad example, especially for Larkin who is now the supposed face of the franchise and a guy that everyone is expected to look to. Makes me think he's def not ready to be a captain yet. And you better believe their teammates and Yzerman knew exactly what kind of shenanigans they were up to in Winnipeg. I'm sure Yzerguy and Blash weren't exactly thrilled about it...

Stoots has 3 assists and is -4. The only real players on the team are Stoots, Seider, and Bokk, so they've got their work cut out for them. Probably why the team is leaning on Seider so heavily. The rest of the D and the goalies aren't any good really.

So we were talking about the WJs in the discord and this is Seider in context so far: Seider is literally playing like 30 minutes a game (mental) He's been up against the toughest opponents (Canada, USA, Russia, Czech) And has only allowed 1 even strength goal against during that time. When he's not on the ice Germany's opponents have scored 11 even strength goals against. Couple that with the fact that his German teammates aren't exactly the best either He literally IS team Germany. Other teams do not score when his skates touch the ice. Yzerman to Konstantinov right now: "Shhhhh, don't worry Vladdy... I found ur brother"

I see #1 as the only real detriment. Question is, how long is realistic to run 4 assistants? Yzerman could be like "f*** this crappy team" and not name a captain for like the next 3 seasons if he wants. I don't see any reason why he can't. Giving Seider the time to become the lockerroom leader. It's up to Larkin to grab I guess. The down season, plus his ASG comments, plus the cocaine rumors, plus the supposed hangover during the Winnipeg trip, are starting to paint a different pic of this kid. And I know a lot of people are starting to view him as only a good 2C as well. I'm definitely taking the rumors with a grain of salt, and haven't given up on the kid even a lill, but maybe he's just not the leader we hoped...

Hiter andddd Trump memes This thread is off to a promising start

It's almost like you can't define everyone in an entire generation in one single meme! I'm just curious what comes after Gen Z. Gen AA?

Boomers: Millennials ruined everything Gen X: <--- (literally no one cares about you) Millennials: Boomers ruined everything Zoomers: We need more tide pod flavors! Can't wait

So why do you think Yzerman hasn't demoted Nielsen for Turgeon, as you suggest he clearly should? Again, if this is so obvious to you, why do you think Yzerman didn't do it? Surely there must be a good reason, no? Now you're straw-maning the argument. I don't think Yzerman is infallible. In fact, Comrie was quite clearly a mistake on his part, but it was a low-risk mistake and I applaud him for trying it. So lets keep the conversation on point... You're not dumb. Don't pretend it. I know you can think of a reason why Yzerman would prefer Nielsen to Turgeon and Howard to Comrie...whatd ya think? Happy new decade

Yup. I just noticed the other day that they changed the A1 steak-sauce bottle and made it smaller. Price still the same. Millennials ruined this country awhile ago me thinks

Chinese hackers keep sniping me

Why can't millennials just be normal, ya kno?

Drives me NUTS
