Scott R Lucidi got a reaction from Rick D in 11/25/24 - TRASH at the Isle - 7:30 PM EST
Lots of talk about Dycknose getting fired if this game doesn't go our way. Personally, I think the SCAM needs to make the move after tonight regardless of what happens. The next coach has to be Quenville or a veteran coach that isn't afraid to sit the Sex Toys and play our best players. Kip is spot on in the other thread. We have 8-10 guys (Compher/Copp/Rasmussen/Veleno/Motte/Kane/Tarasenko/Butt Plug/Dildo/Ball Gag) bringing absolutely NOTHING to the table every game right now. If a player can't contribute in a meaningful way on a consistent basis, you have to ditch them. You can't keep pretending like it will all work out in the end. It won't. Will these 5 forwards have decent numbers toward the end of the year? Maybe. But you can't have guys like Tarasenko, Kane, and Debrincat scoring 45 points in 22 games against the worst teams in the league and then contribute nothing in all our losses. That's what I think we're going to see. We've opened up with a pretty strong schedule at the start of this year, so I'm not totally shocked that we've struggled. But at the same time, the players that should be leading this team to competitiveness just aren't. Compher is a total misfire by the SCAM, and I don't really care how good Copp is defensively - he doesn't score. We need guys to threaten the other team and create scoring. We're not getting that right now.

Scott R Lucidi got a reaction from LeftWinger in Season 98 Episode 21 - Red Wings Lost on Long Island
This team SUCKS. I'm sorry, but this team really sucks. After 6 years with the SCAM, it should not SUCK this bad.
6 of 7 good players and the rest TRASH. I'm a lot more pessimistic about our future right now than I have been. I feel like the more we play our trash, the less chance our prospects have in developing chemistry and enough experience with our good players. And this, in turn, will mean we are always in a state of TRASH. I think Danielson would look real good right between Debrincat and Berggren, and I think Danielson would look real good right now between Larkin and Raymond. Our GM and Coach are just butt phecking this team all different ways. Its sucks.
Larkin-Danielson-Raymond
Berggren-Lombardi-Debrincat
Veleno-Kasper-Mazur
Tarasenko-Copp-Compher
Johansson-Seider
Edvinsson-ASP
Wallinder-Holl
Let the kids play already. This team is COMPLETE TRASH.

go back 10 years and imagine someone calling ME a level-headed neutral poster!
I have become totally different that is for sure! (just don't bring up Franzen, Hudler, or Tippet and Hague! )
speaking of years, it's hard to believe I've been here for 21 of them and never had to change my user name!

I'd support both of them as mods, and i'd tell Matt the same if we can get him here. You know I was never a tough mod, and I always tried to be neutral and fair unless I was drunk and people were sending me into PMs that I didn't know were PMs. I'd loosen up on the crap talking, I don't care if you guys wanna call each other names within reason. I wouldn't be opposed to saying start a Politics topic in the Water Cooler on a trial basis and I just won't look at it unless there's a report. Idk if he'd go for giving it over to me, or what this place costs monthly to run which would likely fall on me also, which is fine as long as it's not astronomical. But I want to keep the main forums, the GDTs civil, and on topic because we would need to aim to get people to start returning, or people to sign up again.
Vote Mabus 2024, less homework for everyone and better meals too.

You can't waive Petry since he has a NMC, Trade him to a team of his choice in the east.

Take it easy West Coast. I don't want you to confuse our drafting with our FA signings and coaching choices. SY- good drafting and SY- crappy FA signings for the most part.
GR has a good developmental coach that evaluates the kids there pretty honestly. The waves of kids coming will take the spots of everyone you're crapping on. Patience grasshopper.
We need to jetison some folks at the TDL if possible, including Kane (ntc) and anyone that sucks on the defence and probably Talbot as well.

That's interesting... it's a move that won't salvage this season but might prevent players from regressing or stunting the growth of young guys.
Also we need a coach to tell Rasmussen to play like a man or sit in the press box.

I feel like this place just needs 2 moderators (Lefty and Rick D) and a site admin (Mabus) to become a great place again. But it has to happen top down. The site has to be yours, Mabus. If you can alter the sign up process to one that has to go through the 3 mods (you, Lefty, Rick D), then we could avoid spam all together. Lefty and Rick D are the most level headed and neutral posters on here, so they would rule fairly. And they're always here. Kip would also make a good moderator if needed for those reasons. But first things first, the spam bots have to be stopped. There's ZERO chance of this place regaining its former glory if the site is always crashing. Gotta get a site administrator that can keep the site active through establishing good protocol. Then we can work on turning the wild west into a civilized society.

If I recall Matt is a pretty public guy right? He's all over socials and whatnot? Someone who has those platforms should tag him in a post saying that the site has become overrun by Russian bots, vulgarity, racism, and vitriolic political arguments. Specifically mention how people casually throw around offensive terms about black people, homosexuals, and women and that Matt has been contacted over and over and doesn't bother to do anything about it. Let all his friends/followers see him tagged in the post and see if that gets his attention. I bet he pays attention after that considering he's a pretty vocal liberal online from what I remember.

Scott R Lucidi reacted to LeftWinger in Tank
We do it right.
Waive Chiarot, Petry, Holl, Husso, and never recall them again. Upgrade Buium and Wallinder
Trade Veleno and Rasmussen for Fowler. Upgrade Danielson and Mazur and Watson for the depth.
Ya, that's a lot of LHD, but we've been there before. I'd rather watch this lineup play, than the stinky one we have today.

Scott R Lucidi got a reaction from Rick D in 11/15 GDT - TRASH at Quacks - 10 PM EST
Goal 1:
Butt Plug not between his man and the net.
Goal 2:
The Dildo and Butt Plug on the PK? GREAT IDEA, Dycknose. Nice freebee for Zegras here.
Goal 3:
The Dildo and Butt Plug back on the PK. Nice coaching.
Goal 4:
Johansson gets beat. Goalie lets in a soft goal, but the Sex Toys aren't the problem on this one.
Goal 5:
Attacker behind the Dildo and Butt Plug AGAIN. MINUS 4 for these 2 Sex Toys.
Goal 6:
EN goal.
What a debacle. Why is it so easy for us to see that these guys are killing this team, but not for The SCAM or Dycknose? I don't understand it.

Scott R Lucidi got a reaction from Rick D in Red Wings 2024-25 Season Catch All
Yah,
It's really frustrating because everybody keeps saying how great our farm system is. If our farm system is so great, why do we need to watch complete TRASH turn 2 playoff season in a row into non-playoff seasons?
Rasmussen, Petry, Gustafsson, and Husso to any team that will take them at any price.
Tarasenko-Larkin-Debrincat
Raymond-Kasper-Berggren
Copp-Compher-Danielson
Chiarot-Veleno-Mazur
Fischer/Motte
Edvinsson - Seider
Johansson - Holl
Wallinder - Tuomisto
Lagesson
Talbot
Lyon
(Cossa 9 Games)
This is a lineup that can compete against good teams after 30-40 games of gel time. The Neutered, The Sex Toys, The SCAM, and Dycknose are killing this team right now. We need to do something about it, but for some reason - nothing happens. Just constant TRASH.
BTW - Kip/Rick/Lefty - have you started watching Chiarot when he "activates" in the O-zone? I'm so perplexed by this guy. He's an absolute mess on defense and just creates a ton of problems for us in our own end. But EVERY SINGLE TIME he decides to skate the puck along the boards and go in deep, something good happens. It's the strangest of things. I have zero idea why this guy has spend the last 10 years as a shetty defenseman instead of a useful bottom 6-er. He's gotten paid more for being a Sex Toy, so I don't blame the guy. But the coach and GM SHOULD be able to pick up on a player's strengths and weaknesses and take advantage of them. I can't believe the SCAM is such a knucklehead in this regard. Dycknose I can believe. He's a stoolie. The SCAM needs to OPEN HIS P H U C K I N G eyes, though.

Lombardi was in the middle of everything today in a big win for GR. Danielson looked like a star too. Feeling pretty good about the farm right now.

Scott R Lucidi reacted to kipwinger in Red Wings 2024-25 Season Catch All
I'm starting this thread with the purpose of having someplace to discuss the team's season in overview. I want to leave the GDT (if we're still doing that) for game by game commentary. But this, I hope, will allow us to contextualize our season. We can compare what we are saying at game 45 to what we were saying at game 15 and see what's changing as the season plays out.
And the main thing I want to start with is the play of the kids. Much has been made of Lalonde's coaching, and a lot of the criticism is deserved, but since early in the season he's been giving a lot of big, important, minutes to Edvinsson, Kasper, and Berggren. Less so for Johansson, but the Maatta trade should change that a bit. And from a fan standpoint it's hard to be mad at the results. These guys aren't playing like superstars (although I'd argue Edvinsson is close already), but they've been really really good. Kasper is still a long way off from turning 21 and he's out there taking faceoffs (and winning them) against Syndey Crosby. Berggren has been making things happen all over the ice, but particularly in the offensive zone where his stats don't really tell the story of how good he's been at creating scoring opportunities for the Wings. And then there's Edvinsson. This guy is unreal. Watch how many plays he kills in the defensive zone with a simple poke check (his reach is insane) or by simply pinning his weight into a forward along the boards. He's got two fewer points than Seider (without powerplay time) and he's shouldering the same defensive matchups at even strength. He's still got things to learn (like not taking late penalties) but it's beginning to look like we've got another of the top young defenders in the league. And importantly, he's a defender that should be able to hang with bigger, tougher, playoff-type teams.
If Lalonde really is coaching for the future, then by mid-season I'd like to see:
1. Marco's line seeing their ice time start creeping up at even strength (they're currently our 2nd best forward line)
2. Berggren getting top powerplay looks when guys like Kane, Raymond, Dcat, deal with injuries.
3. Edvinsson taking over the 2nd powerplay unit (Seider to the 1st)
4. Johansson as an everyday 3rd pair defender.

For some reason it doesn’t take long for other teams to see what it takes us years to figure out. It’s crazy that when we finally decide to let these guys go, they don’t last long in the league.
-
Scott R Lucidi got a reaction from Rick D in The Neutered
Do we let these guys toil away in the bottom 6 or ditch them for players that are faster, bigger, tougher, stronger? I like homegrown talent, but these guys are bordering on just being homegrown as of now.
Rasmussen
Veleno
Berggren
Rasmussen only shows up once every 10 games. He let Panarin skate right by him and score last game, and that's not an isolated incident. Not sure why everyone has a hard on for this guy. He's average at best defensively and DOESN'T SCORE. I'm ok with our bottom six guys scoring 15-20 points a year so long as they're monsters on defense. Veleno has already topped out at 4th line center. I have zero issues with him playing 4th line center at a million a year for us for 20 more years. He's not a liability, and he hustles. But damn. This cat was Sidney Crosby at 15 years old. Berggren needs to decide if he wants to be an NHL player or go back to Sweden. He's WEAK. Not weak in like he has no talent. Weak in that he's a big hairy p u s s y. Why do our players never go from boys to men? They always seem to go from boys to boys with less zits. I've said it before, but GOD ALREAY - hire a weight training coach that knows how to turn boys into men. WTF is with this stupid shet in our organization? Every camp, they're always talking about nutrition and eating right. FACK all that. How about talking about getting these jackasses completely ripped out of their minds. I'd rather see Berggren suck as a 215 wrecking ball then watch him suck as a pimply 180 lb loser. Our strength and development program is a total failure.
So what do we do with these players that once showed top 6 promise and are now teetering on getting let go or traded?
-
Scott R Lucidi reacted to LeftWinger in The Neutered
I'd shop them all (plus picks) for a D upgrade (if possible) or a legit top 6 scoring forward.
Who? I don't know.
