Last 2 games .....ugh Thankfully Michigan was playing Western and that hockey soooo much better than what was on the ice on the Island. I am for booting Ras/Burgers to the curb bring up Mazur and Danielson and see what happens.

Time to buckle up and nut up to the playoffs!!!

Maybe Yzerman was playing 4d chess as he forsaw the cap going up. Thus the chances of getting BIG FA would be minimal. Therefore stockpiling picks and development was the true path to playoffs and beyond...

"When I got here last year, I knew Larkin was the captain, but we had six, seven rotating A's," McLellan said. "I didn't even know who wore them on any given night. "We're Original Six. All my years here (as an assistant coach), and it was a clear definition of who was going to go."

Roster is currently set https://www.nhl.com/redwings/news/red-wings-reduce-roster-to-23-2025?fbclid=IwY2xjawNQ_K1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFFWlZtSnVWR0hYQmZrc1BtAR7g8FxyR07aEW69PYn4IjLg0wIsV-3pSpKEclGz7K_Yq1rxt6Qkk5oc19-fSg_aem_Vbu-4cf_XrvVBjF0m29OhA

We lead the lead in 3 letter names.....event the Toronto announcers were discussing it last Friday. Already starting off on the right foot!! LOL Steve has to be working the phones get a 3rd for Berggren? More for JTC or about the same and keep Berggren? I love the bold prediction and think you may be onto something I feel we are going into the season without the same ho-hum attitude granted D and goalie are still my biggest concern but feel very optimistic.

if 4th in the division gets us into playoffs WITH all the young blood inserted I would be ecstatic for the season. I think the schedule up front gives Todd a way t gauge push the buttons and get things rolling in the right direction. My worry is the players that go to the Olympics , 4 nations killed our mojo last year.

This waiver wire announcement made me happy. Todd said gotta earn it and warned vets they needed to step it up..... Baby lions eventually take over the older lions and we are progressing to a lot of baby lions in the lineup sooner than later. My biggest question is where does Daniel-Son fit after he is healed as it sounded like he was being penciled in before the injury

I am super impressed with MBN as he seems to be in the right place at the right time. I am hoping Steve is working the phones to allow some of these young DAWGs get on the roster. I would even be okay missing the playoffs to give them a year of "seasoning" in the big league.

Todd is not letting up on the veterans https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2025/09/29/todd-mclellan-critial-of-detroit-red-wings-preseason-performance/86431095007/ "Some of the older players have to get their games going quickly," McLellan said. " Almost a week from today or tomorrow we're playing against really, really good teams. Some guys, in my opinion after watching them tonight, some have only played a couple of games and aren't ready to play yet. "It'll be our job to have a chat with them maybe as early as tomorrow and put them on notice."

https://x.com/usahockey/status/1957835022129303793/photo/1 Kane and Larkin... I selfishly dont want them to make it ...Kane is too old and Larkin plays like dogmeat after events like this. Last time it was 4 nations this time Olympics.... I WANT to spend money on over priced beer and food at LCA for a playoff game in 2026!!!

Well played Chris well played From this article https://www.freep.com/story/sports/columnists/carlos-monarrez/2025/08/20/ilitch-should-have-felt-betrayed-but-fedorov-ceremony-buries-hatchet/85729839007/ "Fedorov was a marvel and watching him was often worth the price of admission alone. And if you want to attend the ceremony in January, you’ll have to pony up because the ticket is part of a five-game package. And it’s only fitting that it comes against the Hurricanes."

dont disagree my comment was meant to be smart aleck ....

Total revenue of 11 BILLION and we cant get a new dman or top 6 forward?

Chat tell me about Lil C's AI Overview Little Caesars earnings overview Little Caesars, as a privately held company, does not publicly release detailed quarterly or annual earnings reports in the same way a publicly traded company like Caesars Entertainment does. However, we can still glean some insights into their financial performance: Estimated Revenue: Little Caesars reportedly achieved a revenue of over $4.4 billion in 2023. Another source estimates the company's total revenue (TTM) as of 2025 to be $11.37 billion. Profitability: The company has a consistent net profit margin of around 7-8% in recent years, according to edtechdev.stanford.edu. Franchisees are estimated to have a profit range of $50,000 to $200,000 per location annually, while some estimates suggest an owner can make around $100,000 in profit after accounting for overhead and royalties. Growth: Little Caesars has demonstrated a strong growth trajectory, driven by factors like innovative marketing, menu diversification, and a focus on digital ordering and delivery services. In summary, while specific earnings reports are not publicly available, Little Caesars shows strong financial performance and is a significant player in the global pizza market.

I am torn about Federov. He was a big part of the cup runs...then he left for of all teams the Ducks and less $$ seemed like a slap in Mr I's face. I think Feds wanted the Hollywood celebrity life. Be funny if someone asked Yzerman if he knows the backstory about Fed leaving. Stevie doing the same thing when asked about Walman..not going to discuss that!! AGREE to bolded in a big way but then again I am just an old fart yelling at the kids to get off my lawn....new alt jersey !!!! WTF !!! Whats wrong with the Red or While one!!!

A movie in the making ...perhaps?

Mailloux wasn't considered a good pick due to his actions but he seems to be okay https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/39954590/canadiens-call-d-man-logan-mailloux-had-legal-issue Then there were antics of a guy named Kane.... https://deadspin.com/reconstructing-patrick-kanes-drunken-weekend-in-madison-5909246/ https://www.espn.com/nhl/news/story?id=4389932 If they are accused and go to court and it's found they are not guilty. They should be able to work in this case play hockey again. Like the punter https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39099853/lawsuit-alleging-rape-punter-matt-araiza-dropped

I find it interesting most of the "five's" lawyers were women was that a play so it was woman vs woman during the trial? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/livestory/recap-all-5-former-hockey-canada-players-found-not-guilty-of-sexual-assault-9.6842381

Golf brings out peoples ego, tempers etc. Similar kind of story we were playing Fathers day last year in MI about order. Course is flipping packed(almost hit 6 hours). It's come off green to get in line for tee box but there is spacing to park. I am about 150 out see the group come off the green GET INTO THEIR CART. I proceed to hit and yank it left...well they hadn't moved yet as they were just sitting enjoying whatever the heck they were doib g. I see them yell FORE and the ball goes probably a good 25-30 yards past them in the air. They come FLYING out their cart screaming at me. Absolutely run back to me calling me every name in the book to the point I am waiting for the swing. Wondering about my decision to use the 7 iron to carve up knees cause these are some beefy Mi farmboys. My buddy hears that's the 3rd time you have hit into us....umm no bro we haven't. There was a 4 some between us that peeled out. So their anger was righteous IF we had hit into them 2 times before. Capper was when my boy points out my outfit and says seems like you would remember his ugly ass shirt if he hit into you twice already. I always wonder if my boy hadn't been so chill if there would have been a life changing moment for all of us. I think the courtesy and chill of the game has vanished. People think they are PGA pro's taking 6 practice swings, not playing ready golf, assuming they can hit a 3 wood 275 so wait in the fairway and duff it etc. Then their frustration comes out when something effects them like your old guys.

Sorry about your dog ...hows he doing ?

Couple of years ago playing in Cali one of our 4some decided on the way/on the range that the 1st gummie wasn't enough, nor the second, nor the 3rd .... By 2nd hole he was standing over his ball on tee box thinking he had hit He rode the next 16 holes and never got out of the cart cause he couldn't have swung a club if he tried . IF he did we weren't dealing with the fiasco of a 10 foot drive. People like the guy that got banged need to just say I am messed up. Time to call an uber and go home irrespective of what hole you are on or how much you paid. For the record it was a 200 dollar round my boy forfeited.

the one I found https://www.facebook.com/reel/3900725006738558 Best part is the dude gets cranked then tries to put his clubs in the other groups bag....friggin classic
