    Definitely.  But that's not the point I'm making.  The point I'm making is that you, and a handful of other people on LGW, get positively moist about every consensus #1 pick every draft year and act like nobody is even close to their skill level.  And then two years down the line, when history shows that they weren't the absolute beasts you made them out to be you've conveniently moved on. 
    Remember when everybody around here was drooling endlessly over Dahlin?  Remember how he was the best defensive prospect in modern history?  I do.  EVERYBODY just knew he was on a different level and we'd never seen anything like him right?  And then Quinn Hughes and Cale Maker turned out to be better at the same stages of their careers.  Nobody talked about those two guys the same way, what happened?  I have a theory.  Rasmus Dahlin was never that much better, or better at all, than other top of the draft defenders.  Neither was Jack Hughes. And neither is Alexis Lafreniere. 
    Why does this matter?  Because when people drone on about BPA it assumes that there IS a BPA.  And that the differences between players is obvious.  The reality is the differences at the top of the draft are pretty small and even consensus #1 picks are routinely outperformed by guys that nobody ever discusses in the same way.  So if you choice is between player A and player B (assuming both are highly regarded top picks) you should look at your depth chart and fill holes.

    Biega plays real aggressive, every guy that got the puck near him was getting roughed up.

    What is that defending from Green? 
    Either the man gets past you or the puck gets past you. Not both.

    Is the NHL okay? What a stupid rule, that failing a challenge is a penalty. Why even have bench challenges then?

    Great play! Good response to going behind.
     
    Edit: Typical Wings, immediately give up a penalty.

    Wings are still asleep. They look totally surprised every time the puck gets close to them.

    As someone who primarily watches soccer, I am utterly baffled that a player can be penalised for fouling a player who was himself penalised for diving.

    AA struggling a dozen games into the season on a bad roster will have minimal impact on his trade value. Especially considering he is known for having slower starts.

    Can we at least pretend that we have a slight chance of making the playoffs at least until....December??  We're not even out of October and this looks really bad and hope already lost....this is ugly.  So, it was a great 2019-2020 season for three weeks. 
    Who is under the most pressure in the Wings organization?:  The LCA promotions team.  Can't wait to see what ridiculousness they conjure up to fill seats come February. Free iPhone night??  Celebrating the "Roarin 1920's"??  Roller Skate Night - (fans encourage to attend game wearing roller skates)??  LSD Night??  Celebrating Michigan Marine Life Night??  This will actually be the "game within the game".  This should be fun.

    Everything is 1-2 year bridge deals. Yzerman is planning a massive overhaul, but needs 2 years for bad contracts to expire. And then we will have some legit prospects, tons of cap room, and all kinds of spots for young guys and anyone we trade for. Be excited folks this may take time, but it's about to get exciting!
     

    And he doesnt compare many to Lando, take Carl's word for it, this guy is legit.
