    I need a win and get into playoffs as I jumped the gun and got tat showing the Wings won the 2024 Stanley cup tat on my chest. Lose this one and I might need to have it lazered off. Perhaps the combo of a Scott GDT and the Patch is a sign for the team to be garbage. We win and I anoint Troy for future GDTs we lose then F it and we blame the patch. Wings pull their heads out of their collective arses get back to basics and win 5 - 1 in last 2 minutes we have a dandy fight between RayRay and Ben giving both a Gordie Hattie

    Perhaps but maybe just maybe RayRay/Seider/Ras/Veleno's balls would have dropped and they would have stepped up and shown some alpha male attitude. Instead they and the team play like no worries we will be fine. I think part of this is Uncle Fester who is too even keeled. Scotty/Bab/Torts would have bag skated this team after the 4th loss. Instead we get the old we played well the last 2 periods agains the Yotes and Vegas then lay a total turd bomb against the Sabres. We need to start better com'on man you are a PROFESSIONAL and should be ready to go especially when the pressure is on. People say Seider should be the captain of this team. He had the chance to show his stuff and didn't do diddly. Granted Ben and Jeff have done their part in torpedoing the team but still.....step up when you have the chance.

    Morning coffee and conversation with Troy(hello podcast)(had work not interfered) I think they were trying to pull in/create a black fan base with those picks. I don't remember seeing a big outreach like Kane etc being seen at Hawks games and working to do crossover attraction but then again I am old so might be wrong on that point. Or any of them featured in local commercials for instance If I were to rank the sports fans down here on average as far as their priority in rooting for a team today. College football is dominant and elevated to degrees I had never seen before moving here. B10 ain't got nothing with the rabid obsessiveness for the SEC. 1. UGA 2. Bama 3. Braves 4. Falcons 5. Hawks 6. United Not saying a UGA/BAMA fan isn't invested in the Falcons but only because they are the same game and they can understand it. Atlanta is a HUGE ***** to get downtown and to get to the arena they played at was a nightmare. So a lot of the folks in the suburbs wouldn't bother to fight the traffic unless OUR team was playing. A true hockey fan wont flip teams IMHO no matter where we live we are not going to veer away from the Wings(present streak disregarded). I think team management floundered with the draft picks also so the team was very meh for 11 years https://www.statmuse.com/nhl/ask?q=atlanta+thrashers+all-time+record that doesn't build up your fan base either(See Vegas). Didn't help when your Allstar Heatley killed a teammate in a crash. Your potential fanbase saw hockey as only fighting and had no clues about the game. I remember they would run Hockey 101 classes to try to have people understand that icing is not a penalty. The ownership group was pretty much a disaster and rumor was once they bought the Hawks/Thrashers they were looking to unload the Thrashers. So maybe the way the new expansion teams work now it might be possible. But they would have to build outside of what's called the perimeter which is where 285 goes around the city much like they have done with the battery. Which is where the Braves play and its pretty cool area concert venue crap-ton of restaurants etc. Funny thing is one of my son in laws plays hockey and has since he was little. So at least one of my daughters picked the right guy! Last year his club team was ......The Red Wings... lol

    Please NO NO NO to Atlanta NHL has failed twice. No one that is a hockey fan goes to games UNLESS their team is in town. I went to like 4 Thrasher games and they were always against the Wings. No one is going in the middle of Feb to watch the Atlanta Whatevers play the Yotes

    Found the "scuffle" ...liking Ray Ray being all feisty maybe he could do that tomorrow
  12. Ruff was fired for less NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald ripped his underperforming team and himself for causing the firing of Lindy Ruff less than a year after the veteran coach led the franchise to its best regular-season record. Speaking less than a day after relieving Ruff of his coaching duties, Fitzgerald said Tuesday he waited as long as possible for the team to turn things around but eventually fired his good friend after seeing the young team lose five of its last seven games and fall further behind in the race for a wild-card playoff berth. “It’s on all of us,” Fitzgerald said. “This is on all of us. I just spoke to the team, and a good man lost his job because of an underperforming team. Like I said, it starts with me up here. I’m the one creating this team. I’m trying to build this team around the pillars that we have. Heck Paul Maurice fired himself In December of the 2021-22 season, the Jets unexpectedly announced that Maurice was stepping down from his position as head coach. Maurice said that he felt the team needed to hear a new message and that while the club was capable of turning around a poor start, he felt he was not the man to do so. "If you'll allow me some arrogance, I feel I'm better positioned than anyone to know that they need a new voice," Maurice said. "They haven't quit on me. But they need somebody that can get them to that next place." Woodcroft was gone after losing a crap ton and we are almost in the same boat number wise Jay Woodcroft is out as coach of the Edmonton Oilers after a team that was supposed to be a Stanley Cup contender lost 10 of its first 13 games. Woodcroft was fired Sunday at the end of the team's road trip, which wrapped up with a 4-1 win at Seattle on Saturday night So do you get a new driver out out of the bag or simply keep hitting the same one and pray the hook/slice disappears over the next 18 games.

    I see the new strategy we are utilizing the rope a dope offense/defense basically letting the Sabres run and shoot and get super tired for the 3rd then again this could be 4 0 right now where are the Jan Wings who played D?

    Who do you root for tonight?

    I have decided I am going to keep re-arranging the chairs on the good ship Wingstitanac till the bitter end. I do think tonight could potentially define the season and this team. They take one of 1 of 2 paths a red/blue pill moment 1. Quit like little beetches 2. Reach between their collective legs and find their balls and decide enough is enough and turn this around. Caps are sneaking up also so tonight is YUGE as the orange man would say. Islanders lost last night giving us this pictur
