    Five years now no winning team

    I'd like a new coach, but honestly, what good coach would want to come here? Yzerman will probably have to rebuild first, then hire a coach.
  2. Suspending the season put us Red Wings fans out of our misery. I wonder if they'll offer those of us with nhl tv some sort of refund?

    GDT - Yzermans Ex @ Stevies current trainwreck - 5:00 PM ET

    One thing I won't miss when the season's over, is this commercial! nhl.tv shows it at almost every break! Soooo annoying! Now you can be annoyed by it too, you're welcome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAl-JJdBtk8 Seeing this commercial all year has been worse than watching the Wings lose!

    Larkin Next?

    Some pressure will probably be taken off Larkin after the draft. It's a deep draft, and we'll probably be drafting a franchise player.
  5. Looks like we already won the Green trade. AA left with a lower body injury too.
  6. I think if we get a franchise player in the draft, we'll get coaches interested. I know. It wasn't too long ago that promo was, if a Red Wing scores a hat trick.
  7. After a good coach gets fired, like Gallant, I see all these Wings fans online saying, "Stevie hire him!!". My reply is, "Does he even want to come here now?"
  8. I want Blashill fired too, but who's going to willingly come here now?
  9. My cousin asked me a few months ago if I wanted to go to a Wings game, because he hasn't seen the new arena yet. I said, "No way, I'm not driving 6 hours (3 hours each way) to watch them lose 5-2".
  10. I turned it off after 3-0. I've had enough. Baseball can start anytime. I feel bad for Howard, he's just been awful!
  11. I missed the booing, I stopped watching after the 3rd Devils goal. I guess I didn't have enough pain and agony with nhl tv is season, I signed up for mlb tv to watch the Tigers, ha!

    Are these press conferences necessary?

    I liked at the end, when he was asked if these press conferences would be every Monday, Stevie said, "Yes, every Monday after the trade deadline"

    2020 Draft Thread

    I'm on the Elite Prospects page, checking out potential draft picks. Sure I'd like Alexis Lafreniere, but Quinton Byfield at 6'4 215, looks like a good consolation prize. Marco Rossi, Jamie Drysdale, and Cole Perfetti would work for me too. Whatever position we get, we'll get a great player.

    AA traded to oilers

    Larkin could get us a 1st, that's about it.

    AA traded to oilers

    Great trade! AA was the odd man out with the amount of RFA's we need to sign this off season. We had to get rid of someone, and Stevie got two 2nd round picks for him! Gagner is a UFA, so he was just a throw in, neither Edmonton or Detroit will give him a contract.
  16. When I heard Green was going to be traded, I thought, "What can we get for him, a 5th round pick?", so this is a better than I was expecting. I've never been a fan of AA, even during his 30 goal season. Because of the cap, I didn't think be would be on the team past his current contract. Mantha and Bertuzzi are RFA's, we need cap room to re-sign them. I'm not expecting much for AA. Maybe a 2nd or 3rd round pick and a 23 year old player for GR. Trading AA means more $ to sign Mantha and Bertuzzi.
  17. I know right? The music was bad all night!
  18. Who picks the music in Ottawa? Whitney Houston and Taylor Swift are played at a hockey game?
  19. I got sucked in to these early rookie tournament and preseason wins, and got NHL.TV for the season. A first time for me! I'm not expecting the playoffs, but it could be a fun year with all these young guys. I may regret my purchase after a couple weeks into the season, when the games are for real, but we'll see No TV for tonight against the Islanders though, darn! I may have to check out Bruins-Flyers

    I got sucked in! I ordered NHL.TV for the season

    As mentioned, I live in the Toronto market, I'm not a fan of the blackout games against the Leafs. I use Reddit when we play the Leafs, so I can hear Mickey and Ken. You'd think with the number of people getting rid of cable, NHL would do away with the blackouts, to take advantage of those without cable. Anyway, 5 games into the season, I've seen every game, and not disappointed with my purchase. This week with the west games, I'll have to watch the games the next day, since I'm a dork, and go to bed by 10pm

    I won't have to worry about blackouts, I live in the Toronto area. The less Leaf games, the better! I guess that's why nhl live keeps asking me for my location, so they can blackout games.

    Yeah the NHL app. A goal horn goes off when we score. It's funny when you're out in public and it goes off. I'm self employed, I've been in a middle of a quote and the horn goes off. The potential client looks at me, and I say, "Oh, the Red Wings just scored"
  23. Hey we tied it up! The Wings app on my phone is keeping me updated.
