JUST BREAKING NEWS

Nope cup or bust jk

Wasn't expecting a point today but will take it ... Trying to figure out best scenario for tonight Both Caps and Flyers to lose? Keeps Caps within 1 of us but game in hand keeps Flyers within 2 with us having game in hand should they drop down to WC Caps win Flyers lose puts Flyers in WC and see above Tampa out of range I think and maybe they win tonight get Isles off our back then they play loosely goosely on Monday I think I pulled a hammy jumping off bandwagon then back on today

and there is a generational talent we can scoop up if we win the lottery next year?

Going to do my honey do list today as my ulcers can't take another uninspired effort ... But on the good news front got the pellet grill fixed and ready for ribeyes and bourbon later tonight

Who is he pointing to ?

Morning Coffee hot take(delayed by stupid work) We have mid range players with some young talent(mo, raymond not including simon as he needs a whole season for full judgment) We have a new head coach trying to implement a successful system he has experience in. That system is blessed with an outstanding front(Stamkos, Kuch,Point), outstanding D(Hedman,Sergachev), outstanding goalie(Vasilevskiy) We were shown in the 0-7 streak none of the young guns or current vets had the nutsack to inspire/demand/focus the group to win. I will say Raymond did show some signs. IMHO that means the coaching staff should have been the driving force. Either by cutting ice time/sitting/bag skating/public humiliation whatever but the buck stops at them. Like him or hate him Torts would have gotten a win or 2 in that streak in my opinion. We have a lot of holes to fix and let's be honest we have had dog crap luck in the lottery. So we need to patchwork a team somehow that mimics Tampa via UFA if we want to continue the current path. Perhaps the system in GR which is showing life for that team and the kids coming up give us the ability to ADJUST the Tampa system to match those players skill level. Maybe we figure out a way to have 4 lines that it doesn't matter who is on the ice they defend and can score. Plus have a goalie that fixes the ooops that happen during a game. I think Lyon hasn't been all that bad nor Riemer they are simply backup/journey men goalies not superstars or solid starters. Issue is now how do you plug holes make adjustments and get this team back to the playoffs? Problem also is TWO wins more in Dec and TWO more in Jan we would be sitting at 87 points tied for WC1 and we all would be happy as pig in sh*t. So is this a team that once they lose they sulk vs getting pissed and the losing begins to snowball? Is this due to a coach not being able to fire up the team?

Totally understand and respect the passion of course both caps and flyers are losing so pissed I have to lay off all my Stanley Cup party planners tomorrow IMHO this team lacks balls back when Stevie was capt he willed that team to perform and showed by example. We don't have that kind of force on this team. We don't run guys through the boards. Our coach doesn't see 8+46 = goals etc well let's be honest Scotty/Babs would have sat those 2 20 games ago

Scott breathe don't need you to have an aneurysm over those 2 knuckleheads

I prefer to not rewatch car crashes but every time a shot goes towards our goal I look at net

Whelp tee times can be made should have known when NO ONE stepped up when Larkin was hurt we were toast

Was just a matter of time surprise 46 involved

Naaaah

The rope a dope is working

Fan duel ladies ...thumbs up!!

Took nap and then tuned in looks like Wings still napping

Sergei would see things that the regarded players have no clue about frustrating him and he would go all KGB on them

Wings win 3-1 f your negativity !!! my Red colored glasses aren't broke yet !!!! beetches

https://heavy.com/sports/nhl/detroit-red-wings/likely-eliminated-from-the-playoffs-steve-yzerman-has-much-to-answer-for/ Can't dispute this too much standing pat was sooo weird

What's better for him? Next year backup in Detroit playing ~20 games with the caveat that if he goes on a tear Fester doesn't over play him or being the MAN in GR?

Win and the tunnel to playoffs gets a tick brighter and maybe still achievable. Lose and the tunnel to playoffs got longer and darker https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2024/03/26/alex-lyon-embracing-detroit-red-wings-race-for-playoff-berth/73094631007/ from this article something to make Scott potentially smile "Defenseman Jeff Petry is questionable, as he's dealing with the bug that's been going around the locker room, and head coach Derek Lalonde wasn't sure if fellow blueliner Jake Walman will be ready after missing three games with a lower-body injury." If only Petry would kiss Big Ben and get him sick......

If we had 2 more wins in both Dec and Jan so a whopping 8 points we all be fired up for April in the D So is that goalie defense offense

They are giving serious effort so I am all in

Once Ken said oh the Wings are XX percent OT winner I figured we would lose

Whelp that doesn't help
