AtlantaHotWings

or blackmail for work around the house

Wow site is back up and so are the Wings from the first part of the season. Sens have a game in hand but we are only sitting a point behind them(Go Preds tonight). Tampa has 2 games in hand with 2 meteorite games Tues/Thurs as both are against the Sens. Meteorite game is one where you wish both teams to lose. Beat the Kraken tomorrow then beat Tampa on Sat and we will be in a good spot before the stupid 4 nations killing of momentum tourney.

what a difference the ToddFather has made.Pretty sure after that 1st period we all would have given up and woke up expecting a 5 - 1 loss during the last coach's reign. and I think this why. "Edmonton, Alberta — The first period Thursday wasn't good enough. It was 20 minutes the Red Wings simply weren't good enough on the road, against a quality team like the Edmonton Oilers. So, coach Todd McLellan let the Wings know it between periods. "We didn't flat out have enough players going, and that was the conversation between periods," said McLellan, whose challenge seemed to be wake up the Wings, who rallied for a 3-2 shootout win over the Oilers." https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2025/01/31/red-wings-open-western-trip-with-3-2-shootout-win-in-edmonton/78050723007/ I don't see Derek ripping arse at intermission Nice to see them keeping themselves in the fight but a looooooooong ways to go https://www.nhl.com/standings/2025-01-30/wildcard

Ya baby 2 points !!! good night !!

Can we steal the point off the skills contest?

I will take the point after that 1st period

Shine with a tip to win

Larks!! Shine is throwing checks like he wants to stay

Great kill

Lyon starting ...hmmm whew Seider is back Ken Daniels on IR?

Curiosity got the best of me d*mn these boring training calls. as of today Sens 50 GP 56 points in 3rd Wings 50 GP 53 points so a mere 3 points with games being even WC 1/2 Bruins 52 GP 56 points WC1 Tampa 49 GP 55 points WC2 so they are in contention for 3rd or WC1 We are 3 back of Bruins with 2 games in hand but then again so are the Sens, Habs, Rags, Jackets Getting to the playoffs definitely hinges on winning in division like Kip stated earlier.

This coaching change like has been refreshing. Todd looks at things and says why not. Like the simple pairing of AJO with Simon vs having AJO bounce in and out of the lineup. Derek never thought of pairing the 2 guys that played together in GR Todd went this makes sense. When Todd called out Holl after a game he wasn't douchy but more matter of fact that Holl knew he sucked that game. Holl's play hasn't been worse since then. I think TM is brutally honest with the players behind the scenes and they respect that fact that there is no ambiguity with TM. Plus TM isn't acting like we won the stat sheet but still lost ya for us. If we lose he is blunt its almost like a softer Torts. I am getting semi bullish about the playoffs just think we have min room for errors to make it. But I am now looking forward to staying up past bedtime for the Western CA trip. Whereas in Oct/Nov this trip was catch the highlights on nhl.com and expect loses. Rest of this year going to be fun and looking forward to more kids and more TM system next year.

Kane now on IR JT out with upper body stuff Tank sick Motte back Opens a door for Mr Shine https://www.mlive.com/redwings/2025/01/red-wings-sign-longtime-griffin-place-veteran-on-ir.html

Looking at the standings this AM We are still in the thick of it granted a few teams need to lose to for us to get closer. With a Western CA trip looming this upcoming week. Oil-thurs, Flames- Sat, Nucks- Sun, Kracken - Tues Could this trip be a defining moment for the team one way or another?

Can't complain about this game

oh wow didnt realize the site was back up .... thought Elmer did a reasonable job. I think Thursday will be more of a barometer for him after playing last night and getting the feel back of a NHL game vs AHL

Todds postgame pretty refreshing vs hearing Derek's our process. TM seems to be a straight shooter as he said Holl knows he messed up and that Husso should have one of the goals. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2025/01/15/todd-mclellan-critical-of-red-wings-justin-holl-after-loss-to-sharks/77698191007/

Good that Tank might be off the snide This game lets Todd get on their A**

Ouch keep the leg on the ice might have stopped it

Had they simply had a record of 6-6-2(14 pts) vs 3-9-2(8pts) they would have been in without help. Not being an Yzerman slappie but the March slide IMHO was on the coaching staff not rallying the troops before/after the deadline. Could moves have helped perhaps but just playing 50/50 hockey would have had us in and the rope might have been longer for Derek due to the playoff run.

Listened to game on drive back from OH and definitely need to see game recap videos. Paul Woods kept saying the entire roster is on the same page now and playing like that is way more fun and easier This upcoming road trip will speak volumes for the team

Wow 3 posts for bad guys and Kane backchecking I am fired up for the rest of season

Good 1st 2nd is iffy
