    Poll: Which Player Survives The Rebuild

    Piping hot: Veleno. Lots of potential. I like what I've seen of him. Cooling off: Hronek. Held us together during the bad seasons where he was it. Needs to get that swagger back. Useful for Empty Net Goals. Kinda chilly: Rasmussen. I haven't seen anything yet to make me think he'll still be around for long. Funky cold: Zadina. I had hopes for him, but he just hasn't made the turn from "guy from the AHL who will get it soon" to "guy who belongs up with the team". Maybe he will eventually blossom, but I think he'll do it on another team. Just my 0¢ CDN.

    So, Evander Kane...

    Just a question: What would have happened had he attempted to go to Canada unvaccinated? In that case he would have been breaking a federal law rather than just a team/league mandate. He would have been in trouble, but would the team or league have faced any legal trouble? Just curious. This place is safe. Kip and I will never have sex.

    Mike Milbury is at it again

    Maybe it's just because I'm a chick, but I didn't find his comment offensive when he said it. I figured that he didn't mean like actual females- trainers, maintenance workers, security, hotel staff, etc- that they were dealing with on a daily basis. I figured that he meant women- like puck bunnies. Maybe he should have been more specific. He should have said something like, "It's a good thing there aren't any loose harlots to distract them." Also, speaking as a woman, dogs and children are distractions from work. They're so darn cute and cuddly and you have to clean up after them, which is time-consuming. I would think that dogs and children are much more of a distraction than puck bunnies. Well, maybe just the children. You have to give them a lot of attention. All you have to do with dogs and puck bunnies is give them a bone now and then.

    BOLD Predictions for 2021 Season

    1) Smith will play more games than not. 2) Mantha will fight and not break any bones. 3) We will make the playoffs by the skin of our teeth.

    Retro Jersey...Why the gray?

    I actually started turning grey in 1981, probably from waiting for the Lions to win a superbowl and the Wings to win a cup.

    Retro Jersey...Why the gray?

    Maybe the grey is because all of us who remember the Wings winning cups are old and grey.

    2020 Offseason

    At this point, it's possible that SY has contacted one or more agents, made a slightly low offer, and is now waiting to see how soon any of them panic about not playing and bite on the low wage. Just saying it's possible, not that it's true. Imagine getting Haula for 2m and he goes back to his best year's stats and gets almost 30 goals on the 3rd line. That would be a steal.

    2020 Free Agency

    I've been a fan of Haula since he entered the league. Living in Wild territory, I watch just about every Wild game (and cheer for them if there's no conflict of interest with the Wings). Haula is great at faceoffs and on the PK. He's the kind of guy that will go to where the puck is to fight for it defensively- always in the corners or along the boards when the puck is there. When you listen to a game, you hear the phrase, "Play was broken up by Haula" a lot. Plus he has a scoring touch. Not big enough to make him a household name, but a good secondary scorer. He really showed that well when he was with Vegas. The guy is just all over the ice doing what he does. He wasn't protected when Vegas got their pick of the other teams because the Wild just had too many other assets to protect. When I watch him, I think of Kris Draper. I would love to see him with the Wings. This last season his offense wasn't much to look at and he got traded at the deadline. Due to the shortened season, he only played a few games with FLA. I think that he could be had a bit cheaper since his numbers took a dip last season. He can play top or bottom 6 and PK, and with his faceoff ability and scoring he is an asset on the PP as well.

    Hey, Carlo... Tell Alex how AWESOME Detroit is, ok?

    2020 Free Agency

    The elements are earth, water, air, and fire. An elemental player looks like he's skating in mud, sweats like a hog, farts a lot, and has dragon breath. Basically an old-school bottom 6 guy who's been around the league too long and will drop the gloves because that's what he's good for. In other words, my kind of guy.

    2020 Free Agency

    Not surprised by this. Holtby is still available. Not sure which I would prefer. For the record, I remember you from way back.

    My wife is threatening me with divorce.

    You're at the end of your career, Abby. Write books and raise your child. You had a good run.

    2020 Draft Thread

    I've been chuckling at your prediction. Love it that you were right. Now we just have to get Lil Drapes out against Lil Turtle and see who's Daddy gave his baby the bigger yambags.
