They are doing anything by winning now other than hurting the fans who put up with the loss after loss after loss. I am hoping for a #1 (#2 at least) as a reward for this season, and the last few. If they "climb" to #6 or #7 and end up picking 10th, then this whole season was for nothing. I am not ok with watching another season of this garbage in hopes (again) for a 1st overall. If they don't get a top 2 this June, they damn well better be a playoff team next season. I am tired of mediocrity, tired of watching garbage hoping for a franchise player. Time is up. Stop the winning this season, it's not needed, it isn't fun, it's not encouraging, it's giving the fans a huge middle finger. The majority don't want to see useless wins, they want the best chance at #1. Period. What tangible steps would you recommend the team or management take to "stop the useless winning"? No bulls***, what would you like to see them do to ensure the team loses in the way you obvsiously prefer they do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly wasn't sure how well off it was. My knowledge of such things isn't the best outside of the few name drops like Demko, Samsonov and so on. They're not like amazing standouts or anything, but they're all playing decently well and still pretty young and there's like 6 of them, so I'm hopeful one can emerge.

amato 3,210 Report post Posted March 28, 2019 Happy to see other people not pointlessly upset over late season wins. I've been so annoyed with much of the fan base, way more so than the team, these past couple seasons... A little excitement is exactly what this team needs. Losing games sucks.

DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted March 29, 2019 Wings surging late now reminds me of the Wayne Fontes Lions. Lose the first half, make a run, and save Wayne's job. Too many nights with no effort, too many guys making the same mistakes now that they made at the start of the year. The team isn't growing nearly enough despite some point totals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nyqvististhefuture 1,002 Report post Posted March 29, 2019 Well Looks like we’re screwing ourselves out of potentially a franchise player now with these nonsensical wins ... if we land 6-7-8th now do we draft at that spot or trade back a few spots and fill in the need we have for d and take broberg/soderstrom and land an extra pick?

For all we know, the 26th place team is going to win the lottery... We need to pass the Rangers and Sabres in the standings!!! 5 games remaining to gain 4 points in the standings... We got this!!!
