I am holding out hope cause I have no team in the CFP ....

I have hopes of a rebound as the team improves......HFBoards seems like a collection of folks who just like to argue IMHO.

Bully the "weaker" team

That face on ASP said ..."ouch wont be doing that again ....but first I need some air back in my lungs"

Sorta uur version of the Hughes Bros perhaps? Or the Hanson brothers?

This place is like the shops along route 66 after the expressway was put in. A few visitors here and there .... As far as the team I think if they play scrappy they give themselves a chance. Try to run with a faster team we dont have the horses to play that game. Hoping Kasper regains his mojo, Danielson is figuring things out. Harmonic - this years Holl I would rather see JBD as he and Albert seem to mesh better. I do like putting Benny down with ASP for some reason. Goalies - cant live with them or without them just hoping Gibson gets over whatever is plaguing him and Talbot remains steady. Love to see playoffs but not working on the parade route .......yet

Admittedly that didn't age well....

Maybe Jimmy can come back!!! He fills the net now unlike Zadina's promise

Daniel San is here .... https://www.nhl.com/redwings/news/red-wings-recall-nate-danielson-from-grand-rapids

last year we would be coming home perhaps 1 - 4 pre Todd ? I think this team is finding their identity and maybe just maybe getting a little mental tougher.

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."
