Walman6million

Goodafternoon sir, do you have a moment to talk about the grace and salvation of our lord HYPE?

Update: Isles 67 pts (0 games in hand) <--- WC Wings 64 pts (4 games in hand) <--- WC Cats 64 pts (1 game in hand) Pens 63 pts (4 games in hand) Sabres 62 pts (5 games in hand) Sens and Caps have bowed out of the race at this point and have started selling. Cats are probably in the worst position. The rest is wide open. We HAVE TO win these next x4 games. Two Sens, one bolts, one kraks. We can do it. We made the Rags our *****.

https://thehockeynews.com/news/red-wings-jakub-vrana-placed-in-nhl-nhlpa-player-assistance-program According to this article Vrana was placed in the rehab program by the wings. He did not enter it voluntarily.

If you listen to the whole interview, this is taken a bit out of context. SY also talked about selling and IMO wasnt overly adamant about getting into the playoffs.

Friedman just said on the Marek show that Vrana being called up was "absolutely a showcase". Detroit willing to incentivize (likely retain cap) another team to take him. DAL, NJD, and CAR scouted him against the Caps.

Yzerman comes off very humble. When asked about this current playoff push - he expounds quite a bit about how its good for business. I got the feeling that the Illitch family is pushing for the post season, not necessarily yzerman.

Vrana sent back to GR lol Yo Yzerman seriously hates this guy - I hope we find out out what happened eventually

Arizona is a viable franchise and the south west is an important market AWOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HYPE IS BACK

Haven't actually watched a Detroit broadcast in a while. Jimmy is even fatter than last I saw him. By next season he should be 400 lbs at this rate.

Plan the parade

2/22 WC race: Islanders - 65 pts - 60 games <------------------------------ WC Panthers - 64 pts - 60 games <------------------------------ WC Penguins - 63 pts - 56 games (4 games in hand) Red Wings - 62 pts - 56 games (4 games in hand) Capitals - 62 pts - 59 games (1 game in hand) Sabres - 60 pts - 55 games (5 games in hand) Senators - 58 pts in 56 games (4 games in hand) We're in great position. Lets assume all teams win 50% of the points available (no loser pts) from their games in hand. This shakes out to: Penguins - 67 pts <------------------------------ WC Red Wings - 66 pts <---------------------------- WC Islanders - 65 pts Sabres - 64.5 Panthers - 64 pts Capitals - 62.5 pts Senators - 62 pts We are very much in the hunt. And the interesting part is we are HEALTHY (Raymond day to day) and Vrana is returning. We got 1 down (the caps) now we have Rags + Bolts + Sens (x2 times) + Krakheads before the TDL. Sens are selling already and very injured. These should be easy wins, but must wins. If we can squeak out some additional wins against NYR, TBL, and Seattle I think SY will buy on TDL day. Say we get 4pts against the Sens and another 2 pts against the better teams, we'll be going into the TDL with 68 pts. SEND THE BOYS ALL YOUR ENERGY. WE ARE TAKING THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR AND UPSETTING THE LEAFS IN THE FIRST ROUND AND ENDING DUBAS'S CAREER. HYPE.

GDT with 22 replies last night. This place is heating up.

1. Obviously there is variation in everything. Are you suggesting we are supposed to take a players high water mark as their standard? 2. Linemates matter. Much less so for quality players. Pavel Datsyuk is going to score you a point per game whether he's next to Zetterberg or Abdelkader. Hudler is going to score you 40pts or 70pts depending on who you pair him with. Kubs is starkly the later. 3. I think there's some confusion on what a 4th liner is. It quite literally has nothing to do with scoring. A 4th liner is someone playing on the 4th line. 4. Read this 5 times if you have to. Ask yourself, am I making any kind of judgement on what caliber of player Kubalik is? I'm talking about adding Vrana and another top forward to the mix, and where that leaves Kubalik and Sundqvist... hint hint, it's the 4th when healthy. Lets do the math: Bertuzzi - Larkin - Raymond Additional player X - Copp - Perron Vrana - Ras - Fabbri Kubalik - Veleno - Sundqvist If SY went out and added another major forward for a playoff run right now - this is where Kubalik would slot IMO. Nothing to do with whatever arbitrary definition of what standard of player you've decided Kubalik is. If you want to argue with me that Kubalik should slot above Fabbri/Ras/Perron go for it. If you want to instead argue about "what caliber/type of player Kubalik is" (a point I wasn't making) I would tell you he's a utility scoring forward who can slot anywhere in a lineup. You can slot him into the top line to create depth down the lines when in a pinch. But on a deep and healthy team you probably don't want him there.

1. point per game, pretty much same as this year. What's your point? 2. No, and that's pretty much my point 3. I think you're confused. I'm not interested in maximizing Kubalik's personal scoring. 4. What does this have to do with Kubalik?

Per Lebrun: “Contract talks on an extension for pending UFA center Dylan Larkin have been put on hold for the moment as both sides have agreed the focus should be on the playoff race the Red Wings find themselves in.” f*** Dboss sign u *****
