AtlantaHotWings

I am wondering since Michigan legalized pot if there is hotboxing going on in the GM office. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2025/03/07/red-wings-trade-petr-mrzek-craig-smith-blackhawks-joe-veleno-nhl-deadline/81589170007/

Hope you arent holding your breath on the bolded ...

Ref said Simon was falling into stick not getting his head chopped off

Leaving Columbus this morning. We had seats at the end where Det shot at twice. Was weird as they pumped the sounds of the skates into the stadium speakers Lots of Wings fans for sure as we as a fanbase travel well. the shoe is as Larkin said is a pit with the bathrooms being troughs. Did remind me of the Joe and Tiger stadium. Issue was to not look at the dude across from you let alone on the sides was a fun event sad on the loss. We discussed on ride home with the family who are jackets fans even said Det should have won if wishes were fishes we would be in WC 1 spot

Next 2 games could be interesting 4 points on the line as far as WC spots. I definitely need a win on Sat as going with Ohio family members. Best part is I know when my pee break will be. When they honor the Natty champs at the 2nd intermission!! No way as a Maize/Blue guy can I stomach O-H-blah blah chants.

Either one of the WC spots should be the goal with the stretch goal being 3rd in Division. Frankly if they get the playoffs period I will consider this a successful season even if we get swept first round.

Tampa and Sens play again tomorrow Trying to figure out what is the best scenario for us....and this might be it? If Tampa wins again they still have a game in hand over us/Sens and be at 62 points Sens would stay at 62 points and be in WC1 with us behind by a point We win Sat vs Tampa and Sens lose hello 3rd if I am correct. We would be @ 63 points. Tampa's outcome on Sunday against Habs decides f we remain there during the break. Yes I am bored ....

this one is floating out there https://clutchpoints.com/perfect-trade-red-wings-must-offer-sabres-bowen-byram interesting take trade for Power vs Byram https://thehockeywriters.com/sabres-byram-should-not-trade-away/#google_vignette Do the same deal for Power?

No disagreement on the thought but it's the what do you have to give up for those assets? I am willing to ride out no changes unless it's too good of a deal to pass up and wait till FA. I think we are in a better situation now then last year with young guns stepping up their play. Plus I don't see Todd sitting back and being passive if this team stumbles like last year. Oh s***E we play Dallas April 14 ....might have to rethink my position with Benn being Larkin's kryptonite if we are in playoff spot.

We here and all of the NHL know what resources we are lacking. Getting those resources probably going to be costly especially with what seems that almost all 32 teams are in the fray for min WC spots. Unless there is some sort of huge separation after 4 nations and before trade deadline. We upgraded by deletion with Petry going on IR with the surgery(hope he heals and retires). AJo becomes even more a fixture in the lineup and is doing well. Bring up a kid from GR to start rotating in on the 3rd pair see what we got in say either Wallinder or Buium? I personally don't see StevieY making a big monster splash unless it makes sense for now and for the next 3 years. I have been wrong before ....checks notes from first marriage yup that counts as being wrong

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

ESPN crashed land locked TV had to reboot TV ..whew didn't miss anything

He is getting better and more confident each game

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.
