This just jolted the awful memory of Patrick Eaves being on our team. Momma said there would be days like this.

OMG...an ounce of encouraging news.

This day on the calendar used to be better than Christmas, the Super Bowl, and Evel Knievel on the same day. Now it's guessing which toy from the Island of Misfit Toys we are going to end up with.

My only hope is that deals have been done and waiting for "i".s to be dotted and "t"'s to be crossed before announcing..which can often be agents letting players involved know before announcing. Maybe Compher and Copp are out on Lake St. Clair and have no cell signal??

Exactly. Or....how far Stevie was ($/term/picks/players) on securing a deal.

"There was no player we had a chance to get who grew up playing hockey in the Detroit area or had ties to the area...so we decided to hold and not make any moves"

I'm scanning everything I can find in both US and Canada.....nothing as far as the Wings are concerned.

Ryan Reeves would be a low-key nice addition. Cheap (like no-brainer cheap) and gives this team someone to "keep the flies off" (as Babcock would say). We have zero in terms of any intimidation and our core players are small (for the most part) and get a lot of shots after whistles.

T-Minus 3 hours and 15 minutes. Please, please Stevie get us some help. For the sake of these players and the fan base mentality, let me be clear, it's a desperate need to make the playoffs this year. Our goalie situation won't get us past the second round, but regardless of stock piling picks and setting us up better for the "future", not making the playoffs would be 10x more detrimental to this teams psyche. This time is right now. On another note: does anyone agree with me that Lyon has looked shaky, like he's got some major confidence problems as of late? Forget the stats, I'm talking about optics and the "eye ball" test.

Our coaching staff is trying to will Husso into being "that guy"...and I just don't see it. They are going to need to readjust their expectations on him. Yes, he plays above average at moments, but then has these breakdowns where he gives up really soft goals...like awful goals. He totally lacks consistency. Our D and back-checking is a weakness as well...for the life of them they can't seem to cover the trailing guy on rushes/odd man rushes. I've witnessed this at least 5+ times this season. Our D has numbers and both our D commit to taking away the cross ice pass to the other forward...and they drop pass to trailing forward that is all alone, not covered, free and clear for a quality shot. Frustrating.

It's a tryst of passion. Any Wings players have hot moms?....I'm sure they do...but nothing an STD rumor can't fix. This. Do not want Larkin, Kane, and Cat on the same line.

Perry would help this team on a real area of need...bigger guy who's absolutely not afraid to get greasy in front of the net and pretty much anywhere on the ice. He's always been one of those players that I hate because of the way he plays and instigates....but also knowing that I'd love to have him on the Wings. We haven't had someone of his caliber in terms of driving the opposition nuts since Malts...and Perry is 4x the offensive player Malts was. I view Perry as a mix between Homer and Malts. Yes...on every level. Although is production has dropped off as he's gotten older...even at age 38...he is still a problem.

They should send Babcock to the homes of the players expected to go in the 1st round. Surprise

Last night was a reminder of how much I hate the overtime format. What a joke. 6 guys skating in a circle for 4:30 with :30 seconds of actual hockey being played. Lame. Let them load up 5-5 and play hockey for 5 minutes.
