That's interesting... it's a move that won't salvage this season but might prevent players from regressing or stunting the growth of young guys. Also we need a coach to tell Rasmussen to play like a man or sit in the press box. -

Everytime the forum goes down, I send him a facebook message, then all of a sudden (coincidence maybe) it's back up and running. This last time, it was down all weekend (or more) and today I sent the message, and it was back up shortly thereafter. I will continue that as long as it seems to be working. Hopefully he will promote a couple more of us and we can help take care of this place. -

GDT: Season 98 Episode 25 ; Ruined by The Bruins?
Shanny'sIrishJigg and one other reacted to kipwinger for a post in a topic
There is nothing that pisses me off more than players looking for calls. 9 times out of 10 if you stop skating to engage the refs or sell a call you'll get burned...just like Debrincat did. I was really excited about Debrincat a year ago and now I see why he's bounced around a bit. He's streaky and is charmin soft on the puck. Perron and Sprong would give you more goals at a lower cost and wouldn't be such ladyboys about it. SY kept the wrong guys. Wouldn't you rather have Perron, Fabbri, Walman, and Ghost than any combination of Kane, Tarasenko, Gustafsson, Maatta, Holl, Petry? I would. I'm very tired of half-assed veterans with nothing to play for. -

go back 10 years and imagine someone calling ME a level-headed neutral poster! I have become totally different that is for sure! (just don't bring up Franzen, Hudler, or Tippet and Hague! ) speaking of years, it's hard to believe I've been here for 21 of them and never had to change my user name! -

If I recall Matt is a pretty public guy right? He's all over socials and whatnot? Someone who has those platforms should tag him in a post saying that the site has become overrun by Russian bots, vulgarity, racism, and vitriolic political arguments. Specifically mention how people casually throw around offensive terms about black people, homosexuals, and women and that Matt has been contacted over and over and doesn't bother to do anything about it. Let all his friends/followers see him tagged in the post and see if that gets his attention. I bet he pays attention after that considering he's a pretty vocal liberal online from what I remember. -

Red Wings 2024-25 Season Catch All
town123 and one other reacted to kipwinger for a post in a topic
This team isn't going anywhere until we've got two or three quality (not just serviceable) centers, four quality defensemen, and a regular NHL caliber starting goalie...at the same time. We've got one quality NHL center and it looks like Kasper and Danielson will slot in right after Larkin, but we aren't there yet. We've got two quality defensemen (Edvinsson and Seider) and it looks like ASP will be a third. We need four. I'd trade for Ivan Provorov. We have zero (long term) NHL caliber goalies. Talbot has been a stud, just like Bernier was a few years ago, but he's not a long term solution. Cossa is a beast and Augustine might be even better, so I'm not worried, but they're not ready yet. The only position where we've got actual talent aside from those guys is at wing, which is the least important position and the easiest to find talent in UFA. Our team is built in an idiotic way. The common refrain is that you build from the net out, and SY does seem to be doing that (to his credit). But we need a little more time to get those guys in NHL roster spots. IMO that means two things, 1) promote guys when they're ready and not let unenthusiastic vets crowd them out (Berggren, Edvinsson, AlJo, Kasper), and B) be just a little more patient with the guys who aren't quite ready (Danielson, ASP, Cossa) My list of tradeable assets from most to least valuable: 1. Dcat: this guy is a puss and is a total passenger. A contender with scoring/powerplay issues might be interested. 2. Talbot: He's been a stud so he's valuable. But I'd be bummed to move him because I think Cossa could learn a lot from him next season. 3. Compher: Marco makes this dude redundant as 2C and we only need one of Compher/Copp to be the 3C. 4. Kane/Tarasenko: Old, slow, unmotivated scoring wingers will only fetch marginal returns, but I'd be happy to replace either of these guys in the lineup with Mazur (as soon as he's healthy). 5. Rasmussen/Veleno: Both are solid defensively and don't cost much, which I'd imagine would appeal to contenders who need help on the defensively side of things. 5. Chiarot/Petry/Copp/Motte/Fischer: No real value here, either because the player is too expensive or because most organizations have guys like this already. -

This ******* killed me If we ever get Matt back or at least get him to give me more mod tools so I can promote people i'd commit to making Leftwinger a mod. It would be nice if I could adjust registration to approval or restrict new topic creation from new users also, trying to check in daily to at least clear out the spam bots. -

I don't understand why these love spells are so region specific. Like your magic is only effective in the USA Australia and Singapore??? I could understand if maybe the wizard was an English and whatever TF Singapore speaks, speaker... but that begs the question, what magical protections do other english speaking countries like the UK and Canada possess that we in the U.S. do not? Sure, Hogwarts is in England, but they neverrrr mention a Canadian school of witchcraft and wizardry in the books or movies. And I read the one with the tri-wizard tournament. So if these spells can't even penetrate the muggle metropolis of Ontario... how good could this wizard even be? It's been a few weeks, and guys, I'm starting to think we are not getting our QT Singapore wives and our money is gone... -

Got one of the new camo cans in my Bush/Cheney 04 coozy right now buddddd Mulvaney is gone, Gillis is in charge, and BL's are back See, I don't tuck tail and run when the he/shes try to destroy our beloved American brands. I stand up. Like I stand up for the national anthem. Because I believe in premium American lager. Like I believe in the American people. Like I believe in faith, family, and freedom. Like I believe those values built this country (so you can keep your IPAs and your guacamole the hell out!). Like I believe American families have the right to defend this country from foreign invaders pouring over our borders illegally. Like I believe jet fuel can't melt steel beams. Like I believe trans national bankers control our government. Like I believe Britney Griner should have been left in the gulag. Like I believe Russia has the right to defend itself against the globalist Ukraine. Like I believe in one China. Like I believe skull shape says a lot about someone. Like I believe 6 million is a pretty unbelievable number. Like I believe in Bud Light. God bless you, and god bless anheuser busch. Happy thanksgiving, commie. -

Season 98 Episode 21 - Red Wings Lost on Long Island
LeftWinger reacted to Scott R Lucidi for a post in a topic
This team SUCKS. I'm sorry, but this team really sucks. After 6 years with the SCAM, it should not SUCK this bad. 6 of 7 good players and the rest TRASH. I'm a lot more pessimistic about our future right now than I have been. I feel like the more we play our trash, the less chance our prospects have in developing chemistry and enough experience with our good players. And this, in turn, will mean we are always in a state of TRASH. I think Danielson would look real good right between Debrincat and Berggren, and I think Danielson would look real good right now between Larkin and Raymond. Our GM and Coach are just butt phecking this team all different ways. Its sucks. Larkin-Danielson-Raymond Berggren-Lombardi-Debrincat Veleno-Kasper-Mazur Tarasenko-Copp-Compher Johansson-Seider Edvinsson-ASP Wallinder-Holl Let the kids play already. This team is COMPLETE TRASH. -

Rick D reacted to Scott R Lucidi for a post in a topic
Lots of talk about Dycknose getting fired if this game doesn't go our way. Personally, I think the SCAM needs to make the move after tonight regardless of what happens. The next coach has to be Quenville or a veteran coach that isn't afraid to sit the Sex Toys and play our best players. Kip is spot on in the other thread. We have 8-10 guys (Compher/Copp/Rasmussen/Veleno/Motte/Kane/Tarasenko/Butt Plug/Dildo/Ball Gag) bringing absolutely NOTHING to the table every game right now. If a player can't contribute in a meaningful way on a consistent basis, you have to ditch them. You can't keep pretending like it will all work out in the end. It won't. Will these 5 forwards have decent numbers toward the end of the year? Maybe. But you can't have guys like Tarasenko, Kane, and Debrincat scoring 45 points in 22 games against the worst teams in the league and then contribute nothing in all our losses. That's what I think we're going to see. We've opened up with a pretty strong schedule at the start of this year, so I'm not totally shocked that we've struggled. But at the same time, the players that should be leading this team to competitiveness just aren't. Compher is a total misfire by the SCAM, and I don't really care how good Copp is defensively - he doesn't score. We need guys to threaten the other team and create scoring. We're not getting that right now. -

I feel like this place just needs 2 moderators (Lefty and Rick D) and a site admin (Mabus) to become a great place again. But it has to happen top down. The site has to be yours, Mabus. If you can alter the sign up process to one that has to go through the 3 mods (you, Lefty, Rick D), then we could avoid spam all together. Lefty and Rick D are the most level headed and neutral posters on here, so they would rule fairly. And they're always here. Kip would also make a good moderator if needed for those reasons. But first things first, the spam bots have to be stopped. There's ZERO chance of this place regaining its former glory if the site is always crashing. Gotta get a site administrator that can keep the site active through establishing good protocol. Then we can work on turning the wild west into a civilized society. -
