I want it to grow.  i dont like basketball as much

Why do you want it to grow? Serious question. How does more eyes (from non traditional markets) on the NHL impact your enjoyment of the game?

New women's league starting up. What's your guess on how many weeks it takes before the players start whining about "equal pay".

They chose everywhere except Detroit - because apparently Detroit fans are toxic lol STFU ***** if I point a gun at your face that means its cause I like you.

Husso stayed in town....and Jonas going to be asking what kind of workout is that?  they need MORE MORE MORE

 

Hell yah.  Raymond got after it this summer.  Saw one pic of him with Seider, and boom.  If Yzerman ever pulls his head out and gets a good strength coach, this team could be beastly.  Adding 10 lbs of muscle per player in 2 offseasons is basically like giving the team another roster spot.  It's not just 23 guys that are harder to play against.  It's 23 guys that dont get injured as often, and it's 23 guys that injure the opponent more often.  Why is there only the goalie in the weight room training by himself?  Because this team has a s***ty strength coach and Yzerman hasnt recognized it yet.

This narrative of yours makes no sense. Yzerman literally completely overhauled the team's strength and conditioning department when he came in as GM because it was so out of date from the Holland era. 

Great conditioning is not gonna turn a roster into a squad of fighting goons. 

Also, every team deals with countless injuries every season. It's not exclusive to Detroit. 

Look at the chart since 2009 (with a bunch of Holland-era seasons included) vs. the chart from last season up until March 10th. Detroit is middle of the pack. There are no strength and conditioning issues.

Watch the video - The goalie is the only guy in the weightroom.  Yzerman picked the wrong complete overhaul if that's what he did.  He needs to get the guy from Michigan football in there.  This team is SOFT.

Yeah, I'm sure the rest of the roster does not work out. C'mon now.

Mazur
Kasper
Soderblom

I wanna see how NHL ready these guys look. Are they dominating the prospect tourney? Are they ready to make the team?

Lombardi
Danielson
Wallinder

Looking to see if these 3 really are a head above there counterparts, but don't expect them to push for the Wings roster

Gibson
Mathurin (been injured)
Tuomisto

Looking to see what we have in these x3

This season has the potential to paint a really grim future for this team.

If Raymond doesn't have a breakout season.

If Edvinsson spends too much time in Grand rapids

If cossa isn't the bona fide starter in Grand rapids by the end of the season

If Kasper and Danielson don't start showing some offensive upside

I like it. Lets make a LGW a doom board again.
