Change of scenery does the body good

fixed it as I want luck in both years!!! lol

No I hate the bolded day in and day out add in a pinch of S*ittsburgh and Sh*thawks and my hate circle is complete.

I think Kronwell goes 1 more year. Even Mickey was saying last night how well he was playing and could see an extension. If it was a year to year like Jimmy probably okay with it.

KRS I like those changes...!! From your keyboard to God's/Allah's/The supreme being you believe in's ears..!!

As mentioned by CRL in another thread Ottrado has clinched the 1st lottery percentage chance. Avs get no less than #4 Looking at today's standings with most teams @ 80 games played... and for grins ran things in the lose for higher percentage of draft choice spreadsheet. As things sit before any more games are played. Not to mention our ROW is 3rd highest so any ties in points with anyone other than Ducks/Oilers we move down in the draft. Now if everyone wins to see max points possible.....which doesn't affect our position at all @ 5 (yeah I know KRS the likelyhood of bottom teams winning is a mixed bag) Then same numbers and everyone loses except Ottawa(locked) and we continue our streak...which is the worst possible scenario. We get between 8th and 11th pick. So if we dump the last 2 games and others win.... So its boiling down to NJ, Buffalo(4pt game) and us for third spot in a big way. So we can get between the 3rd and 11th pick at this time...LOL I personally believe we are moving up in the draft but that's just my opinion/hope/wish/prayer/offering.... and LA congrats on what is looking like second best odds with your lineup...

Assuming DLR is De la rose and he gets clearance with the heart issue...

and that trade basically created the Avs core as they got Hextall, Duchesne, Ricci, Forsberg 1st rounder in 93(Thibault), and a pick in 94(traded) Thibault was traded for Roy Hextall for Deadmarsh Boom 96 was cup time in Denver and we all know where the Flyers ended up in 97...!! If we got the 1st and were to capitalize like this I would be okay with a trade. That trade made a core for quite a few years with that silver cup thingy being passed around the ice twice in 5 years

Say we finish 5th worst(where we are right now) then there is a chance to pick him up correct? Anything better than 5 we see where we land anything positionally after 5 we see what picks are left. Kinda getting excited to see what we get !

Good idea !! I would assume some sort of Dr blessing would have to be made after Svech having the ACL put back together this year.

Praying the bolded is correct .... Looks like that win against NJ and subsequent streak was a bad thing for odds good thing for attitude of kids ...oh well might as well start looking for a chicken to sacrifice on April 9 to aid Wings lottery luck.

Prepare for the worst hope for the best is all I got right now.... Will the draft selection show be between periods of one of the first playoff games?

Well I prefer we lose both games against Pittsburgh and then an absolute awesome game against Buffalo. Why you ask? Well I paid a LOT of money(rental car ,hotel, tickets) to have the privilege of sitting in the LCA and I want to see my team win while my fat butt drinks beer and chows on food.

Off the mlive articlel https://www.mlive.com/redwings/2019/03/red-wings-to-extend-coach-jeff-blashill-for-two-seasons.html "Blashill, 45, is expected to be named head coach of the U.S. World Championship team for the third year in a row on April 8, two days after the Red Wings wrap up their season." If he is a s*** coach then why has he been picked to be the head coach of the US team the last 3 years? No one better they don't care to win? I am looking at this way he never coached at this level he has made mistakes, roster is still crap. Could be a situation where the roster gets younger and more talented and Blash's decisions get better and better. Kind of a growing together time.

Good clean fight they dropped gloves and squared up. After Weegar drops Byron as he is skating away it looks like he is checking back to see if Bryon is okay. Guy who got whacked taking care of business. Byron gets props for being willing to answer for his actions.

and convert them to different positions ..

I am searching for myself will let ya know...LOL I think a lot of success of draft picks also depends on their work ethic and will. Heck Larkin is showing that even a 15th pick can be successful.

Dabura I am with ya keeping the Hughes faith alive till we see our offical draft spot

That win didnt help....LOL So instead of being tied with LA and them with a game in hand we are up by 2 and praying for them to win. Then we hope NJ to win also. Game with NJ looms bigger and bigger on where we might draft. LA next 3 On the road to Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver NJ next 3 Buffalo 3 days of rest then us then St Louis the night after us. Us next 3 San Jose and Buffalo on the road NJ the back to back after Buffalo Not an easy row to hoe for us to get 30th

Larkin to Mantha boom...I feel the future is bright

this game has been entertaining Although I know we need the loss to improve our odds I have no issues with a win...

All 4 of us in action tonight AZ @NJ @ 1 Ott @ Edm @ 4 Ana @ LA @ 10:30 Wings play hard and if you lose please lose in regulation and hope the others minimally get to OT.

Updated my lose for a good pick spreadsheet not looking good for us! Pulling everyone up to 74 games played with the normal assumption people win their games in hand.... It's still a 3 horse race to 2nd bottom feeder but this winning stuff is NOT helping us!! Time to bench AA!!! Schedule might help our quest Blues, Knights, Sharks, Sabres next night Devils( the 4 point swing game), Bruins, Pens,Pens,Sabres

Play hard and compete but need a loss in regulation to keep pace with LA and not bounce past NJ who is playing Washington tonight. Remember pain today for gain tomorrow!!

That's my prayer every night Lord if we can't suck as bad as Ottawa please let us be close to their suckage....LOL and of course the Kings play the Preds tonight so probably no way to have them gain a point or 2.
