The 91 of Ryans

But is Nielsen + Hronek + Cholowski >>> not Nielsen + Chychrun ?

Don't forget waiving Quincy to keep Meech only to trade a 1st to get him back. I'm beginning to think Holland just sucked at everything. His name should be stricken from the Stanley Cup. Poser.

This thing isn't going to get any better IMO. You'll get your wish.

LOL you're not?

Lot's of Prospect goodies over at The Athletic this morning. Pronman Ranks The Best Prospects Outside The NHL Ranks 72 players Seider is 6th Veleno is 39th And that's is. (Zadina has graduated) Zegras and Cozen are 1 and 2. Side note: Pronman is not my favorite evaluator of NHL talent. Then there's this Bultman Ranks the 21 Best Red Wings Prospects 1. Seider 2. Zadina 3. Veleno 4. Rasmussen 5. Bergrren 6. Smith 7. McIsacc 8. Tuomisto 9. Mastrosimone 10. Lindstrom 11. Johansson 12. Soderblom 13. Svechnikov 14. Pearson 15. Larsson 16. Grewe 17. Hirose 18. Phillips 19. Barton 20. Eliasson 21. Berglund

Scott Gomez says "hi"

No. I don't think so.

He wasn't standing up for himself. His pride was hurt and he couldn't handle it so he threw a tantrum. In the heat of the moment? I guess you can make the argument that it's entertaining and forgivable. But then you have to eat your s***e and shut your mouth. It's all this post-incident talk that makes the Oilers look like babies. Rewind to 08. Laperriere smokes Lidstrom. Downey throttles him. Babcock threatens to murder Granato. Lidstrom does his 11 game IR concussion thing. Everyone leaves it on the ice and shuts up. Wings win cup three months later. That's my kind of scenario.

And those hits were clean. Looked bad because Kassian wears a walnut shell, fastened by half-pound test fishing line, for a helmet. This is the beginning of the end of the Oilers season IMO. I'm actually astounded that GM Holland hasn't sent a STFU!! memo down to the dressing room.

He's got that entire Oilers team in a knot right now. It's beautiful. If I were Tippett I wouldn't allow it.

Which is why the whole "I want a guy like Kassian on my team" is silly I actually want a guy like Tkachuk on my team.

https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/video/kassian-on-suspension-have-to-respect-the-league-s-decision-but-i-d-do-it-all-over-again~1875525 Kasian on the suspension. "I'd do it all again". What a dummy. Mathew Tkachuk is a evil genius.

Jesus dude. I'm not trying to argue. I'm trying to make sense of what you're saying. Do you want to extend Bernier or not? You said it twice. Like actually said it. And if so, when would you like this to happen?

OK. Anytime before July 1st 2020. It's the same thing. You said this

How constructive

Well if you think Yzerman should (or will) panic right now and commit to more years of Bernier beyond 2021 then what more needs to be said anyway right?

How constructive

So you think that the Wings are only going to have one goalie in 2020-21 and that goalie is Bernier and if Yzerman doesn't extend him right now, right away, this team will have zero goalies in 2021-22.

So there will be no UFA goalies available in 2021?

Why not? Is Bernie not a very replaceable guy?

Then why extend him?

Bernier has another year here.

I'm not convinced that either of these guys wouldn't get slaughtered behind this D. Even 3 years from now.

I doubt anyone disagrees with this. It's just that the "younger guy" is a lot harder to obtain. Hence UFA names are being thrown around, like: Lehner, Markstrom, Halak.

Everytime I hear this now
