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.

I will be pissed if we don't finish 2nd to last as I have given up on us catching Ottawa. IF we finish 2nd from bottom I will be happy as the worst we can do is 5th overall and while not 1 or 2 it's still a good pick IMHO

But if we are number 2 ...total pun there...we min are a top 5 picker so I am looking at the glass half full. Lets say Colorado lands 2 picks in the top 10 and we land #1 do we try to trade the 1 for those 2 picks? Or take the pick and run!

Ladies and Gents your bottom 5 as of last night... I think Ottawa has 31st locked up congrats to Colorado! Kings and NJ are our competition and dang NJ had a nice start on their western trip 9 - 4 loss to Flames. I think getting 30th is going to be a dog fight. Like someone mentioned earlier how is LA doing the tank with their talent level ..impressive!!!

Right now barring any winning streak from our boys we probably get a top 6 pick min(assuming a 3rd from bottom finish). So I am good with suffering for long term gain plus as contracts fall off we get cap healthier and HOPEFULLY learn from our mistakes on contracts.

Da bottom All 4 bottom dwellers @ 69 games played buuut being a debbie downer...we are tied with LA and our ROW is less. Otherwise we are in the thick of it. Need Ottawa to somehow win some regulation games. That schedule you posted favors us but definitely need to lose @ NJ(4pt swing) then 3 straight killer games Boston, Pitt/Pitt then Buffalo which is my up to MI game.

This is our FU to Ottawa's strong tank mojo?

On this date the Detroit Red Wings continued their tank to get better long term.

Best quote on the Zadina interview I think i got it kinda right. "Great pass from Hornek kinda used to it from the GR. " Oh Blash and Kenny you masterminds !! Sending kids to GR to get in a rhythm together then back up to the big club. When/Can we send Ras down with Zadina and Hronek to join Cholo in GR to get into rhythm for next year's HYPE!!

Lose for Hughes spreadsheet updated with all bottom 8 teams games played to 67 with normal assumption of a win for game in hand. Ottawa I think has a lock on the best odds with a 6 point lead over us and others. It's shaping up to be a battle between us, NJ and LA for 2nd best odds. ROW could bite us.... So funny rooting for good hard hockey but yet want to lose so we get better. The old adage the "means justify the end" applies here. Losing now means competitive in a couple years I hope......please Lord Jesus I am getting too old for losing and surrounded by family who are Pens fans.

OMG that video was F****** HILARIOUS!! Not sure about the Rangers sucking chant but the we don't need you, bedtime and jammies chants totally made me laugh!

God rest your soul "Terrible Ted" who was only terrible on the ice. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2019/03/04/ted-lindsay-dies-detroit-red-wings/579477002/

I am a bit disappointed in the return but I will be okay with it . Especially based on the mlive article about the trade https://www.mlive.com/redwings/2019/02/trade-deadline-day-will-red-wings-make-a-deal.html and the apparent terms Gus wanted to resign were 5x5 which is too long a term IMHO. Nyquist is in the final year of a four-year contract with a cap hit of $4.75 million. He had been seeking a five-year deal in excess of $5 million per season from the Red Wings.

Ran the spreadsheet Lose for Hughes and after our game today after adjustment/assumption teams with games in hand win said games... I gotta say the Ottawa tank for Colorado is beyond a work of art. Yet we are only 2 points back should they win their games hand...starting to see some daylight between teams also

Based on this article today https://www.mlive.com/redwings/2019/02/timing-right-for-red-wings-to-debut-filip-zadina-sunday.html the bolded above is probably a wet dream... From the article "Zadina will practice with the Red Wings on Saturday. Blashill didn’t indicate which line he will play on but said it’s not automatic that he’ll be in a top-six role. “We’ve got some pretty good young players here; if I bring him in and put him ahead of some of those young guys, it’s not really right,” Blashill said. “They worked for a number of years and all the sudden some guy gets plopped ahead of you. They’ve had to earn it and Filip will have to earn it."

Jensen Bowey Righty Righty 6' 6' 2 or 6' 1 seen both on line 196 198 28 23 be 24 in April 600k 900k looking for a raise ??

Don't agree with finishing farther down the stack. finish as 2nd worst ...worst draft pick possible is 5 finish 5th worst ...worst draft pick possible is 8 While both are top 10 I prefer to get as many odds on my side to get #1. Finish as low as possible (2nd) assuming we can't beat Ottawa at their tank game. and I get a top 5 pick minimum as my reward for my tankage. Although I am steeling myself for the nut kick on draft pick day Just tried it 20 times doing a reset each time and we got #1 4 times!!
