kipwinger 8,756 Report post Posted January 29, 2024 Kasper was a monster again on Saturday night. SIX shots on goal. He's going to need to continue working on his finishing (as I've mentioned), but he's going to be an absolute beast. Can't wait for this kid. The obnoxious guy on the Winged Wheel Podcast said Kasper is most likely to turn out like Veleno in a recent episode. But that guy was also a ride-or-die for Mantha, Bertuzzi, and Zadina and a notorious hater of Hronek and Rasmussen so I think his judgement is a little suspect.

kipwinger 8,756 Report post Posted January 29, 2024 Just now, AtlantaHotWings said: that in bold sums up a person in need of counseling It's the entire reason I loathe that podcast. I don't care about the terrible "take" to be honest. It was how self-righteous they were about it. Like, they were very explicit sometimes with their "you'd have to be an idiot not to see how good Zadina is" narrative. Then, unsurprisingly, Zadina WAS just as bad as everyone else thought and it was crickets from those guys. They just moved on to the next thing. Their boy Prashanth Iyer of the "Expected by Who" podcast does the same s***. He once penned an article entitled "Brenden Smith really is that damn good" for Winging It in Motown. In the article he compared Smith favorably to guys like Hedman, Doughty, and Lindholm. I pressed him once on Twitter about Smith and he was insanely rude about the whole thing. Then - surprise - Smith sucks and he just conveniently never mentioned it again. I don't respect people in the "take" business if they don't spend as much time analyzing what they got wrong as what they got right. If you say "Zadina is dominant and you're a fool if you don't agree" and then he ISN'T dominant then you pretty much HAVE to analyze why you were wrong or else you have no credibility. And if you have no credibility then why would anyone care about your "takes"? 1 mackel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's fine for a fan, but if you're going to make money off "My thoughts on hockey are worth your time and money" then you need to do better than "I was wrong". You need to analyze why you were wrong and not make that mistake again. But how much do you wanna bet they'll be all over the next highly touted, offensively inclined, prospect with good possession numbers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets talk about that for 45 minutes... Basically. They think the Wings are a pretender and that Lyon is propping up the team. Because they clearly haven't watched the last 10 or so games and seen how well our defense is playing in front of Lyon and how easy the shots he faces are.

IMHO I don't buy all these Chychrun rumors. I think he stays put. Vatrano would be an interesting addition though. SY probably likes that he comes with reasonable term.
