Draper was able to pull off getting Dower-Nilssons brother. I don't think he's going to make the same mistake Tyler Wright did missing out on Andrei Svechnikov. Trust the plan! Boisvert slaps

Had to explain to my son this morning that Al the Octopus won't be coming to Cinco De Mayo again this year. Really stings, but he is learning about dissapointment and healthy ways to cope. Does anyone remember when Tampa got swept in the 1st round by the jackets and the team issued an apology to the fans? That would be an appropriate gesture from the wings org right about now.

Now draft his brother Draper!

If only Newsy had called Torts from the bench and said hold your goalie, we got this!

Pass on Reimer and his bigoted attitudes. IMO I doubt CGY will want to move Andersson, and if I was a betting man CGY and NJD will circle back on the Markstrom deal this summer and git er done. We will probably have to give up at least a 2nd or more to move Holl if El Captain doesn't have the stomach to buy him out. Really bad contract on his part... I think ditching Holl and signing Matt Roy is all the defense needs. Run: Walman-Seider, Edvinsson-Roy, Chiarot-Petry, 7th=Maata. Husso is the real enigma. I don't see a clear path. If there's a trade that moves him out and a better goalie in, it will be costly, but maybe necessary. Stevie could also gamble on a bounce back year, and Cossa as the 3rd string. Whatever happens, keep calm and trust the yzerplan! Kane will likely depart for a cup contender. I'm thinking Perron will stick around. He's been a great leader and vet and we need that still. Sprong and Fischer should be shown the door. They can be replaced internally with Berggren, Mazur, Kasper, and Soderblom. These 4 need to join the bottom6 and begin their training in the wheel. No need for any UFA forwards please and thank you!

Married daisy the cow I believe

I think he's a buyout

Agree with all except ASP. He will be an NHLer very soon.

Post game interviews Larkin - seems absolutely destroyed. Feel bad for him. It's no wonder he's the captain. He had it all on the line. Perron - talks about how this is the biggest defeat/let-down the young guys have ever experienced. Naturally the wings only let the media interview vets. I think this was a tremendously important learning moment for Raymond and Seider and friends. Kane - refers to his time with the wings in the past tense. He's already gone. Had detailed ideas about his offseason plans to become a more explosive skater as a vet. Wings fans need to stop pretending he's re-signing.

And Ghost is -16 but you want to re-sign him

Justin Holl has never finished plus 7

Are you schizophrenic?

I can't remember the last time Holl even played.

The brutal part is Philly pulls the goalie in regulation, in a tied game, with seconds to go in the wings game, because they need the Wings to lose in regulation, and themselves to win in regulation to make the playoffs. Not knowing the wings scored with 3 seconds left and they were already eliminated, Philly went ahead and pulled the net, ending both our seasons with this move. Don't want scenarios like this to decide your fate? Maybe don't give up 8 goals to teams like the coyotes in 2 games in March. Glad we are (hopefully) learning that lesson now.

Seriously though... we go up on Montreal and literally a second later Philly goes up on the caps... only for the refs to call the Philly goal back. And the goal called back is an obvious mistake by the refs. Like very obvious. Combined with the lottery shenanigans the league is starting to look more and more like the WWE day by day.

We will get there! 3 legit superstars in Larks, MO, Ray, and more young ones on the way. Detroit wasn't built in a day, and the future is bright.

Respectfully disagree on ghost. And I find it strange you want to sign the worst softest defender on the team, but also want a physical shutdown Dman. Newsy only deploys Ghost on the PP and in the Ozone. The kid should have been a forward, because he's not even trusted with neutral zone defensive duties. Paying a 3rd pair PP man 5 million dollars is not something we can afford to do anymore next year, let alone the next 4.

Be serious. Rags would have stomped us anyway. This isn't the end of the world! Just the next step in the Yzerman.

I know we are disappointed as fans, but this is the exact kick in the pants this team needs/needed. They probably thought they were giving their 100% to make the playoffs. And they just learned their (what they think is) 100% isnt enough. Its a bitter lesson, but one that has to be learned by every team. You can't coast for the last 20 games of the season and I then expect to make it on miracle goals in the few seconds of the last 2 games. Now it's on Derek to channel that dissapointment into desire to correct those mistakes and overcome. And on Yzerman to augment personal to make us even better next year. Kudos to Derek and Stephen and Larkin on the exciting season most of us didn't see coming. You don't go from bottom feeder to cup champ in one season. I trust them to build from here. LGRW!

Still a lot of hockey to be played let's go

El captain expected to pick high this year. Derek has thrown a wrench in his plans. Rangers are overrated. Dylan Larkin can out captain Jake Trouba in a 7 game series.

Derek is a good coach. We are battling for a playoff spot bc of what he's done with this team.

Who's mo cheese? Relation to chuck e cheese?

And we're tied Caps Philly also tied Spronger ain't leaving Detroit till he meets al and daisy No. We were never supposed to be here, so losing is okay.

Am I the only one here interested in Carlos the goose?
