That's cute. IU didnt beat a single ranked team this year lol "I'm literally cinderalla"
-
The guys who havent graduated should be on my list of graduates...?
-
Cool. This is this forum. Not that forum.
-
Because it's so simple to build a competant defense. Which is why the Wings definately havent failed to do so for over a decade and counting. You black and call pots kettles too?

This place lacks drive, purpose. We need a mission. An event. A laugh. Holidays are coming up, and a lot of you will be bored. Traveling to see family. Watching A Christmas Carol for the 3rd time that day. Listening to your regarded Aunt Bethany rant about how RFK JR is going to ruin the pizza hut stuffed crust pizza because he's literally communist hitler. And staring at your phone. Bored. Why don't we do something fun instead??? A field trip!!!! What we do is spend the next few days/week organizing here and coming up with ideas, then sometime during these upcoming holidays we pay a visit to our friends at HF Boards. Make some bait threads. Post some cheeky comments. Good ol fashion trolling. Nothing offensive or over the top. But just enough to rustle their jimmies, get some LOLs, and generally disturb the hive. If we stay coordinated and on message, we as a brigade may not even get banned... depending how far we take it. Here's what you need to do if you want to join in the fun: 1. Make a burner account at the HF Boards soon. One you don't care about getting suspended or banned. Then over the next few days/week post a couple times with the account. Dumb stuff like "LGRW!!!" in the GDT will do. This is so when we strike we don't appear like we made all our accounts 5 min beforehand. And if you have time, heck create multiple accounts, so you have a backup when the ban hammers start to fall. (Was also thinking we should coordinate our account names. A lil wink wink to all the former LGW users that are over there. I was thinking using old memorable LGW names would do. Handles like MindFly, Buppy, Crimson, TheAxe, HillBillyRedWings, would be funny and a clever nod that it's us pulling the ruse.) 2. Show up on the date and time of the brigade. Even if you don't have much to contribute or don't want to participate a lot, we still need support replies. Accounts that respond to fellow brigaders bait posts with stuff like "I actually think this guy has a point here". It helps to gaslight the users over there and give the brigade a sense of faux credibility. That's it. Anybody want to play? BUT NUMBER9 I DONT WANT TO GET MY IP ADDRESS OVER THERE. Walk over to your modem, unplug it, plug it back in, you now have a new IP. Enjoy. BUT NUMBER9 IM NOT A MANCHILD ******* THAT ANTAGONIZES OTHERS FOR LOLS. Well I am. And also that place deserves it. I've attempted to play by the rules over there multiple times, and always get banned for the dumbest reasons. Give them your detailed thesis about why Zadina wont be an NHLer 1 year into his career = banned for trolling. Have a civil disagreement about a player with a mod = banned, no reason given. Heaven forbid interesting or differing opinions should exist in their safe hive mind. BUT NUMBER9 I ALREADY POST THERE AND I WILL WARN THEM THAT LGWS EVIL NEFARIOUS ATTACK IS INCOMING, HA YOURE COOKED! Do it ya coont. You're not gonna be able to warn the lot of them, and we'll be hours into a brigade b4 a mod stops in to clean up our mess.

2024-25 In Season Trades/Waivers/Promotions Thread

Trouba - 8 pts in 38 games. f*** that fayget lol. He deservez everything hes earned. -
Wings literally had one of the highest scoring offenses and one of the worst defenses last year... You: "haha stupid edmonton and toronto think they can outscore there problems" Im never going to stop thinking its pathetic to mock teams who are clearly better than your own. HEY WINGS BROS EDMONTON WHO WAS IN YHE SCF LAST YEAR IS DUMB RIGGHT? HAHA RIGHT? Take a vitamin or something.
-
The theories ive heard are 1. Wings suck so no one cares anymore 2. Old 90s style forums like this are dead because of facebook reddit pornhub whatever. 3. Canada is communist now so leaf bros can only go to like 5 websites, us not included. 4. Larger forums like HF have killed off smaller niche hockey forums Reality: i have waged a systematic campaign of lying, gaslighting, bullying, trolling, name calling, intimidating, flexing, manipulating, and general "toxic" behavior in order to drive out the undesirable normies and keep LGW exclusive to me and my true frens

Lol im stupid enough to actually be married

Why didnt u show up? It was fun

Havent been comnenting much this season since wings have been frags and lions cool. But Keep coming here expecting to see a Buchnelikov comment, but no, yall continue to dissapoint. Buchnelikov is top 10 in KHL scoring. Do you regards realize how impressive that is? Especially at his age? He's the number 1 U21 KHL scorer. Fast. Totally offense oriented winger. Can be our what Vrana was supposed to be if we can keep him off the ski hill. Idk about kucherov level but this kid is definately yzermans current russian steal. I can also confirm he visited the states this past summer to meet yzerman and tour detroit/the states and he stated he wanted to return to the the USA to witness the Wings playoff run. (Seems to be a Tarasenko fan and thought that addition would put us over the top lol). Now that were struggling idk, but kid seems eager to sign an NHL contract
-
I hate to admit it, but everyday that passes @Scott R Lucidis insane takes about the "Yzerscam" become increasingly more palletable. Scott's the Alex Jones of Red Wings fans. One day he's like "HILLARY CLINTON IS PUTTING CHEMICALS IN THE ICE TO TURN THE TEAM GRAY" and we all laugh and dismiss. Then 2 years later you find out there actually is a problem with chemicals in the water supply that cause frogs to develop additional female genitals... and its not so funny anymore. Yzerman already has a lot of bad moves to account for, with very little success to rest behind it. Its not year 2 or 3 anymore. Its year 6... Hes graduated only 5 draft picks in that time frame. X4 of which are high 1st rounders, and only one a 2nd rounder, who sits every other game... nada from the 3-7th rounds. This is bare minimum for even a bad GM. High 1sts a drunk chimp can hit on 80% of the time. The goalie carousel is a continued yearly mess 6 years later... 6 years in and only NOW we might have our coach..? And by "our coach" i mean SY hard panicked and 180ed to a coaching outsider, who never appeared to even be on the radar, until his first choice flopped HARD... We took on a buyout from holland last year for literalky nothing, if not negative value, in return. He refused to believe in his team and buy at the TDL last year. But also refused to give up on his team and sell. And in the end paid the price of medocrity by being rewarded for his fence sitting and lack of future outlook/planning with nothing. No playoffs and s*** draft rank. He added the trash patch to our sacred orig 6 sweater. Total cursed blasphemy. Ads on the helmets. He's done nothing but fat cat nepotism with the front office. Hiring his brother and his buddies Lidstrom, Draper, Kronwall, and Verbeek, to the most key positions. Theyll never challenge him and in return hell never fire them... he even let draper waste one of the organizations draft picks on drapers own snot nosed kid in the BCHL. Who everyone knew had no shot at the NHL. Multiple wings under yzermans tenure have wound up in the junky program He fired long tenured employee and cult legend Al the zamboni pisser, who we literally named the freaking mascot after. SY tenure is cursed. Okay CRL, #9, or whatever your name is, when are you gonna aknowedlege what Yzerman did right???? ok Well he fleeced Fabbri out of STL... oh yeah but then he paid big to get rid of him for no reason... He also fleeced Walman out of STL too!... oh yeah but then he again paid big to grt rid of him for no reason... Nick Leddy was pretty regarded after the fact I guess Chiarot, JTC, and Copp are pretty C grade signings. Is that good? Tarasenko and Kane are starying to look like s*** Fuqqqq Petry and Gustaffsson are terrible too i almost forgot Not sure the Debrincat move was as good as it seemed in the moment at this point... Damn i was supposed to be saying what SY has done right... well he drafted Seider Edvinsson and Raymond. Not that impresive considering draft position but still good right!..? We are witnessing the after math of a dynasty. IE the gravy train. Yzerman has secured the position he will never be fired from. And despite the clear and obvious failures I just pointed out, most fan dumb goy brains will still respond "nahhh dat yzermun, he good, he wuv detwoit, doin good job to me!" Red wings will be good post cronyism era. Aka post yzerman and his buddies. Guarranteed Lids is pulling a Coffey and coaching his kids PeeWee swedish team while we pay him a salary to do nothing. LiDs WOulDnT dO DaT! You have no idea how ofteb rich ppl get away with s*** like this cause clout. But yeah ur precious wings are different and imune somehow.

³Gentlemen, enjoy these next few weeks. We are currently expierencing what you will call in the future "the good old days". Even if we somehow manage to not take home the lombardi this year, its obvious to the experts, and every fan in the league, that this is the begining of a Detroit dynasty. This team is poised to a win a title NOW, but also setup for it for years to come. Not just because of good contracts and drafting, but because of what this coaching staff and the culture theyve built has proved theyre capable of. We just watched a 5'9" 2nd string corner in Amik Robertson shut down the best WR in the NFL last night in Justin Jefferson. This kinda thing has been the story of the Lions all year. And it is the true source of our power. Our players trust Dan, they believe Dan, they've bought into Dan, and they will go through walls for Dan, and more importanly each other. Our practice squad players will outwork any starter you have. Injuries to key players have little to no effect on us, because we operate as a single cohesive unit. And this all begins and ends with Dan. We are watching the early years of a LEGENDARY coach. A true leader of men. Sure we have brilliant X's and O's guys in Johnson and Glenn supporting him, but I promise you, when Johnson jets for the Bears or the Jags, that magic will not follow him. It takes way more than playbooks and calls to lead a team, and right now our coordinators operate under that safe leadership blanket that Dan has created for them. We've seen many nerds like Johnson around the league accept HC positions and fall flat on their face... What makes Dan different: He has the expierence of a former high level player, he's passionate, he's accountable, and he's willing to bet on his team. >former player - not only do his players automatically respect him more and connect with him better right away for "having been there done that" rather than some fat unkept fuq like Matt Patricia. But he also thinks like a player. Watch those draft episodes of inside the den. He's very specific about who he likes and why he likes them. He's not after raw talent. He wants DAWGS. Guys who play through the whistle, push back, don't stop, carry themselves a certain way. Guys he would want to play next to as a player... >passion - Dan is still playing football. Maybe not on the field, but in his mind he he is. He still worksout like a player, still talks like a player, and still shows all his emotions... like a player would. This earns him that much more trust of his players. They know he could, and would, suit up in the trenches with them and battle if allowed to. But he cant. Instead that passion comes out in the lockerroom. Have you ever seen speeches or post game celebrations more inspiring than dan campbells??? Its not even fuqqing close. And my former points about his status as a former player and what not only lend way more authenticity to him when he speaks like this. The post superbowl inside the den episodes are going to be straight kino FIRE. >Accountability - This mans integrity is next level. He holds himself accountable more than he does his team. We lost twice this season and he deflected ALL blame on to himself both times. Hes shown this team hes not interested at all in protecting his job or his rep, hes focused on something greater than himself. He has a singular focus that transcends his own ego. His players have seen this and adopted this. >betting on his team - this is probably the singular ACTUAL genius thing Dan has done IMO. My first 3 points I believe are just dan being who he is. This is more calculated. Constantly going for it on 4th downs, constantly risking 2 pt conversions, constantly risking dangerous experimental trick plays, refusing to rest players to protect against injury for future more important games... these all scream FOOLISH GAMBLER to everyone at home watching.... but not to his team. To his team it says "I believe in you". I believe I can put my chips on the table every week and you wont let me down. Thats how strongly I believe in this team! When players see that level of faith and trust they will follow you to the gates of mordor itself. It was never about extending that drive. It was never about the extra point. It was never about embarassing the opponent. It was always about sending the message to his players that I BELIEVE YOU CAN DO THIS and I will play this team every game like its our last, and if you trust me, one day IT WILL be the last game, the superbowl, and you will be ready for these moments. Its handing them free confidence everytime, and this team is addicted to it like opium. dan campbell is a confidpium pusher. Hes a true players coach. Something i have rallied against on this board in regards to the red wings... and unfortunately i dont think the NHL has ever seen anything comparable to Dan. A players coach cant just be a nice guy. They must also have the charisma to inspire as well as aN ancillary way of commanding respect and trust. Otherwise you will be percieved as weak. The closest thing is probably Rod the Bod or MSL. Certainly not Trashill or LaLoser. Back to the lions, here are a few accomplishments I want to reflect on: >We just went 15-2 and swept our division in what has been widely considered THE BEST division in NFL history. The Minnesota VikIngs are the first team in NFL history to win 14 games and not achieve a division title. >This team is ranked as the 4th highest scoring team in the history of the NFL. >Aidan Hutchinson led the team in Sacks and QB touches/pressure. He only played in 5 games. >We played the majority of the season riddled with major injuries to our defense. Perhaps worse than anyone. It hardly slowed us. How much more dominant we would have been without this terrible is scary to think about. >2 years into the league TE LaPorta has more receptions than any sophomore TE in history. >Gibbs and Monty have shattered run tandem records. >Kerby Joseph has earned the 2024 interception title >Goff is already arguably the best Lions QB in our 60+ year history. A ring will likely solidify that status. >Vikings announced they had purchased x2000 ford field lower bowl tix for $900 each, and were making them available to Minny fans for $200 each. Essentially taking a $1.6 mil loss to try and invade our turf. Its being reported that MANY of those tix ended up in Lions fans hands lol. Apparently Detroiters figured out that when you tried to purchase these subsidized tix from Minnesota, all you had to say was "im not a viking season ticket holder, but I was referred by one" and done, tickets are yours loyal viking fan lol. I saw very little purple at the stadium last night. Vikings owner may very well have taken $1.6 million dollar bath to get like 400 fans into ford field... YIKES! There's only a couple of way I can see this team screwing up what should be an easy "dynasty". 1. Goff starts to decline at some point and we are unable to replace him. There's going to be a crucial time period in the coming years when this team is still in its prime, but Goff is aging out. Its going to be insanely important to draft a solid QB and insert him as starter at the correct time. Ideally after at least 1 or more years of study under Goff. Therefore we probably need to make serious play for a high level QB in the draft in the next 0-3 years. Any Joey Harringtons and we're in trouble... 2. While the team is setup for longterm future sucess in many key positions, our probowl level O line is going to age quickly. Zeitler, Decker, and Glasgow are all in their 30s now. Ragnow isnt far behind. We have some good kids like Mahogany, but nothing is certain yet. To replace these guys we are going to potentially have to draft 1-3 high level blockers over the next few years. That could take multiple years of drafting. Adressing that need means directing draft capital away from other positions. So hitting on young line men at the draft will be extremely crucial to continue solid protection for an aging Goff and/or young newcomer QB. This offense could be flipped on its head without the people mover O line... 3. Glenn and Johnson brain drain - Assuming these two truly are geniuses, and their departure exposes Dan as a regarded meathead with no true tactics beyond inspiring men... Doubtful of this, but a reasonable possibility none the less. Team has to prepare some new, and more powerful, apprentices like yesterday. Fortunately it looks like Teddy Bridgewater is already going down that path. 4. Contracts - proper pruning of the roster is what makes or breaks NFL teams. Cap bonus penalties from bad contracts can destroy anyone. Brad and Dan have proved they can build a roster... it remains to be seen if they are shrewd enough to maintain one. This means letting great players like Davis, Reader, Anzalone, even Montgomery, walk at contract end. Getting trapped into contracts like the Saints, like the wings were with Ericsson, Abby, Nielsen, will kill the lions, but worse in the NFL because of bonus structure. I already am not completely thrilled with the Monty re-sign. Gibbs has proved he can handle the load and is in his prime. Monty could save him health and mileage.. but hes what already 28 or 29? The wall for running backs comes quick. Dont wanna be wasting cap on a guy that Vaki can replace in a year or so. Anyway thats my ted talk. TLDR: Lion dynasty now. Campbell is the GOAT. Get off our bandwagon regard fans whos teams didnt make the playoffs. We are not your charity underdog playoff girlfriend team "you hope wins for the story" and cause we deserve it cause lol so bad for so longgg. Fuq you. We hate you. You clowned on us for years. I would sooner kill u and drink your blood than let u even steal a glance at holy jared.

Detroit Red Wings: A New Era Under Todd McLellan
Jimmybigrigs69 replied to LeftWinger's topic in General
LOVE what Todd has done with the forward lines. Minor tweeks, but OBVIOUS ones that needed to happen, that apparently Lewsy was too blind to see... >Veleno to the 1st line. About time. Kid is looking better and better everyday, and appears to be on the cusp of a major breakout. My only gripe is Veleno is at wing and Larkin at C. Swap them. Larkin's speed is more condusive to the wing, and jumpin joe needs to continue his development as a key shutdown center. >Tarasenko on the right side. Wow it's almost like even Helms dog, Justin Barkdelkader, knew that's where he's played his literal entire career... crazy that that is working for him... >Larkin not on the PK... MY GAWD ITS FINALLY HAPPENED. Only took multiple regarded coaches and 300 years b4 one semi decent journeyman coach with half a wrinkle on his brain could see the obvious. Say it with me folks: DYLAN LARKIN IS NOT A PK FORWARD . Repeat that 20 more times. For the luv of gawd we cannot EVER go back after this. Not every 1st line center we draft is Pavel Datsyuk or Henrik Zetterberg. Stop forcing it. Our EV lines and special teams are going to be much better now and lucky boy Todd is probably laughing that he is going to reap the rewards of something that should have been done 5+ years ago. Looking back it kinda sucks that SY wasted so much valuable time on dicktards like Trash and Lewsy. How much farther along would this rebuild be by now if he had just scooped up the veteran disciplinarian day 1? Reporter: what coaches have the wings found success with? KH and SY: Bowman and Babcock Reporter: what kind of coaches were they? KH and SY: hard ass discplinarians who stomped on their own players balls Reporter: so what kind of coach will you hire next? KH and SY: someone nice who can inspire players with the power and magic of friendship ... KH and SY: oh noooo why is my team soft and bad oh noooooo -

BIG NEWS https://x.com/craigsmorgan/status/1876320360863514922 >NHL currently working with Arizona officials to bring the Yotes back to the state Love this idea of restoring a classic old franchise. Feels like the league lost some of its appeal since the yotes left. I just pray Gary doesn't screw this up by trying to change an iconic team name or something like that, like what happened with the mighty ducks and the wild. -
No, were not stopping at McDefendolds. We have perfectly good Buium and Wallinder at home.

TITLE CHANGE - 2025 UFA/RFA July 1! (plus summer trades)
Jimmybigrigs69 replied to LeftWinger's topic in General
In juniors Ras was front net nightmare for tri cities. Hes really only been used that way on random occassion here...IMO every Wings coach has stunted him. He should have been a 4th line forward with PP time when he first came here. Theyve developed him into a decent PKer... but its classic round hole square peg crap. Hes not physical for his size because he's an O minded player. Im fine with him taking PK duty, but kid should have been learning holmstrom duties 300 seasons ago. Amazing how mismanaged this player has been. Hes never going to be cal clutterbuck. His game is being annoyingly large and able to pot rebounds. So lets make him kill penalties. Frustrating. -
You wanna piss like a puppy? Stay on the Porch... Let the big dogs EAT. Minessota has spent 2 million dollars to subsidize 2000 of their season ticket holders to attend this game... There shall come a day when the roar of the lion fails... BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY. This day 60,000 Lions fans drive the Vikings back into the sea/lake michigan/superior. Black unis on means we mean bizness. f*** SAM DARNOLD f*** JUSTIN JEFFERSON f*** EVERY TEAM THAT CLOWNED ON US FOR 60 ******* YEARS. NOW is OUR time. NOW is OUR year. And we will NOT be denied. This is the first time in history a team will win 14 games and lose their division. I do not at all feel bad that the Vikings must wear that. Jared - lez go BAYBEE
-
Berggren is mehhhh. How are we not talking about Joe Veleno? He's been a beast since Todd took the reins and unleashed him. Kid looking like a top6 center. Forget Cozens.
-
Some of this is on Larkin unfortunately. Got his huge contract last year. Lost his child middle of last year. Lost playoff fight while he was out of the lineup. His "giving a F" seems to be at an all time low. Entire season so far he has not been vocal on the ice. Not creative. Not inspired. Watch the last presser and he says "disconnected" about 300 times. Maybe this is due to Newsy losing the room, but IMO Larks seems to have given up fighting through/against all that. Got his paycheck. Got his problems at home. Why beat your head against a wall for an idiot coach and coasters like Kane? He's probably already accepted the season is shot. Day 1 for Mclellan needs to be a 1 on 1 with Dylan to sell him the plan and reinspire him. Without Larkin on 100%, this team 100% has no chance. Day 2 for Todd needs to be grabbing Kaner by the balls. Literally. While he winces: "start playing with these or I promise I will staple them to the fuqqing bench, idgaf how many awards they won 8 fuqqing years ago" The problem with Derek was a continuation of the same problem we had with Blash: The infamous players coach. No real cultural change happened. We're still "connecting" with players to "inspire" a process of winning. Miss us wit dat rainbow sheit. Do your job or gtfo. I foresee much more change coming. Steve has committed to Todd for multiple years, this isnt an interim gig. Jan-Feb will be an evaluation period for Mcllellan. Taking inventory. Those he doesn't like or want will be offered to Stephen as tradeable assets. Deals involving Ras and Veleno will probably be explored. Kane and Gustafsson are most likely done in Detroit one way or another. Yawney is most likely here as Todds confidant and second set of eyes on Tanguay, Varaday, and Westlund. I can see 1 or all 3 removed as coaches at seasons end. Lastly, the elephant in the room is Chris Yzerman. It's been rumored SY leans on him for proscouting since their days in Tampa. But Gustafsson, Holl, Tarasenko, Petry have been horrible evaluations/additions... we have not had a director of pro scouting since the retirement of Mark Howe. Chris seemed in line for that position, until recently. He's probably not going to be fired because of his last name, but someone likely needs to be installed ahead of him as director and SY's new right hand in proscouting. TBL poached Pushor and Routa off of our staff. Time for SY to clap back and bring someone he trusts from their over. Thinking Al Murray, who currently serves as senior advisor to Brisebois. Hand him the pro scouting dept and make him the 4th AGM if necessary.
-
You know its a desperation move when 99% of fans are celebrating lalonde being gone, instead of mclellan being hired. Goalie carousel meet coach carousel. Team has reached apex mediocre trap joke status. This period will be unnaturally extended for too long because Yzerman lacks his tampa staff, but has an infinte leash. Most GMs dont survive 3 coaches. Does anyone actually believe Todd will bring us a cup? He's signed for multiple years. The smart ones stopped paying attention 8 years ago. Go lions.
-
I can't help but wonder, what if we had dumped and chased it just one more time? Like the old saying "99% of gamblers quit right before they win big". 99% of hockey teams quit dumping and chasing right b4 the dump n chase is about to payoff HUGE. I hope Todd dumps and chases MORE. I can feel that it's about to hit. Dump didnt work the first time dylan? Did you try dumping a 2nd time? A 3rd? Stick to da prosess dylan. Respek da systum.
-
Naturally SY grabbed the only guy with a connection to the Wings. This thing he has about only hiring guys hes worked with b4 leaves us somewhat limited. However Todd has a lot of coaching under his belt. SY basically 180ed from rookie to well seasoned. He's also shown to be good at coaching rebuild teams. Just cant get it done in the playoffs. Bigger story is Boughner and his terrible PK are gone. However, Todd plays boring trap defense, so dont expect games to get more exciting... I personally did not expect a firing so soon... now that it happened im starting to wonder if SYs seat is hotter than anyone expects. We are in year 6 and the team looks like its in another year of the mediocrity cycle. A lot of his moves the past 2 years have been head scratchingly dumb... Walman, Fabbri, Gustafsson, Tarasenko, Kostin, bad coaches, goalie carousel, not buying, not selling. He probably has a longer leash than anyone, but if this was anyone not named SY, this move would stink like desperation to save ones job...
