3 weeks ago there was pressure... they crumbled... right now they have nothing to play for so the are free wheeling. Ras is a disgrace. -

Pure garbage time mirage... all they've accomplished is f%&ing our draft position even more. I hate this team so much. -
The 4nations derailed both Larkin and Raymond... be it injuries, sulking, fatigue, whatever the were no the same afterwards. I'm not sure if any other players in that tournament fell off as hard as they did. I agree unless we can add a legit player like Marner or Ehlers... it's time to trade Larkin. We also need to change our management philosophy it's an absolute joke that Cossa and a couple more kids aren't up these last 4/5 games to get a taste of the NHL.

Our mistake was letting Jim Nill walk. Stevie is too conservative... we've missed out because of it. When we had lots of cap he failed to weaponize it first picks. That just the obvious.
-
That sounds like a toxic franchise... they'll likely be gifted another lotto win as a consequence.
-
There's lots of smoke for sure!
-
I know offersheets are likely too bold for Yzerman but I would definitely be in there for Hughes or Dobson. That would free up D prospects for trade.
-
There are some interesting RFAs this year, especially on D. I wish SY would go wild and sign Luke Hughes or Noah Dobson to an offer sheet. But conservative hockey wisdom says then someone might offer sheet Ed, which might happen anyway.

He's so conservative and risk adverse it's hurting us. 2 guys he passed on that Ottawa took on won the game the other night... Cozens and Ullmark

2025 Trade Deadline March 7 - Playoffs? Buy or Sell or Build?

That's a question the gutless Detroit sports media should ask... but they're too scared to lose access to a forever. 500 team. -

We're so fukced no playoffs, no lotto pick, no superstar, cap space tied up in garbage. -

But why? What's the point of that trade? Mrazek has another year at 4.25... we just got rid of Husso's contract. Smith is 35 and a pending UFA. -

A buddy of mine was in Europe and caught yesterday's Skelleftea game. He said ASP was everywhere looked ready now.. but MBN wasn't noticeable at all. Take that for what it's worth. -

Ken would trade our 1st to get Walman back and have that pick be a multiple veznia trophy winner. -

Horrible asset management... a move that NEVER made sense. Also, we're cooked. Injuries are starting to mount and so are the losses. Looks like a mini-sell... there's always next year. FML -

Man those ESPN games are unwatchable... the broadcast is so awful. -
Our remaining strength of schedule is ridiculous I hope they play up.

That isn’t incorrect... but that's ok. We're sorry you elected a dink that's selling out every working person in America to line his pockets. -
Video that it'll be hilarious... a highlight at their wedding lol

Kip thanks for posting... sometimes it gets lonely in here...

What's up with the ice in Vancouver... lots of odd bobbles and fans on passes where the puck seems to get stuck to the ice.
-
What's up with Ken Daniels... did he trip and fall or something?
-
Lalonde's problem was he's a beta personality. He played and coached to 'not lose'. He needed to take a few risks like splitting Ed and Mo, playing Albert, calling up Elmer... but he was playing it so safe he couldn't. Not to mention how he coached with a lead....
