He said "look into it", not "change" it. “You’d be stupid not to at least look into it,” Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid said. Totally one sided article, typical of the media today.

You said Nielsen is horrible. Then you said that Isles fans want him back. Do you not see the contradiction here? Fans don't make the trades, but fans also don't want guys on their team who are "horrible". Just another example of fans from another team having a more balanced view of a player than the fans of his current team.

Or is he taking off his human costume for it? understandable

Forget his GAA and save percentage...I am more concerned that he uses a corded landline telephone.

The aged veteran defense of the last few seasons never started off this badly or gave up this many goals. As much as everyone seems to "hate" DD, Daley, E, and Kronwall, they're still better than the trainwreck we've seen recently. You're looking at the overall payroll and not paying attention to the individual deals. The "overpayments" on this roster add up to maybe 5 mil in cap dollars? This team has a high payroll because they still have a large number of veteran contracts on the roster, and vets cost more. This is being remedied by bringing in younger, cheaper players on ELC's and bridge deals to systematically replace those veteran contracts. They call that a rebuild, and every team that goes thru one, goes thru the same process. You can't just make vets go away. A team trending down from years of success will have many veteran contracts to deal with. It's the price to pay for being successful in a competitive league that's designed for parity. It's inevitable. The situation is not unique to Holland and the Wings at all. You replace the vet contracts over time with younger, cheaper players. Eventually the team salary drops as the team gets younger, only to rise again when the younger players become older, better, and more expensive, and other costly players are brought in to increase the competitiveness of the team. That's how it works folks.

If the first bold is true, then the 2nd bold would make zero sense. fixed

LOL. I was thinking of my Pronovost post. He died in 2015. Fake News.

He wants to play 3 more years past his expiration date.

LGW with CRL as MOD:

You sound just like my therapist.

He's dead, so........

The usual suspects have been silent tho, so no.

Just think, Blash has been around longer than these guys were...positivity BTW, Kyrie was better. Anyone who knows who Mr. Mister is is too old to be a millennial.

Night all.

He's too french.

I said "hot soccer mom", not "GILF".

Keep us posted.

You could have gone with a hot soccer mom and you chose a Care Bear? What's wrong with you? Man card revoked.

Pretty sure there's a forum rule being broken here.

That shouldn't be a penalty. It would actually make the game more fair.

https://octopusthrower.com/2011/11/03/top-three-worst-seasons-in-red-wings-history/ 1980-81 Record: 19-43-18 This season also saw another Red Wing Alum end his tenure as coach. “Terrible” Ted Lindsay lived up to his nickname by starting this season by only winning 3 out of 20 games. He was demoted from his GM position the prior year and forced to make amends by coaching a team with little talent. Despite his prestige and history with the organization, Lindsay was fired mid-season and replaced with Wayne Maxner. He was only able to garner an additional 16 victories and the Wings ended the year dead last in the NHL. It was also the first full year played at the Joe Louis Arena, and thankfully wasn’t an omen of things to come.

It would be a band-aid on a bullet wound, but it's still better than another gun shot. What is up with my analogies tonight?

Neither can Buffalo.....
