    Wait... Tyler Wright picked Seider? Nothing to see here fun police. Just a few humble salt miners trying to make a living.

    Who he paired with? He was great with Methot.

    Wasnt Comrie the goalie that SY picked up on waivers, then lost to waivers like a week later, and KR had a fit about it?

    Trading for Karlsson is a cursed decision.

    Tage Thompson wears 72. We are missing Kane who wears 88. 72 minus 88 is negative 16. Its the 24th game of the season so add 24, which gives you 8. Which is Chiarot's number. Meaning Chiarot will definately not score tonight.

    Block is hot today Broberg has been given permission to seek a trade by the oilers. Barrie has been given permission to seek a trade by Nashville. Leafs are apparently going all in to land Chris Tanev after missing out on Zadorov. And now Yotes are rumored to be in on Hanafin. All per Freidman and Seravalli. Hanafin would be a nice pick up for us, but I guess wed have to move a Dman for it to make sense.

    I'll give you my usuals and some new ones. Polish Village Cafe in Hamtramck is my go to. Better Polish food than the native Poles will give you. Can't beat it. Service is terrible (especially on game days when it's busy) but it's a goddamn Detroit staple. Also Lafayette coney island after the game, but you're a Michigander, you know that. The new one I'll suggest to you is "Central Kitchen + Bar" it's right near the ren cen. I pulled into town late about a year ago and chose that spot for dinner at total random. My guy, it was delish. Best shrimp tacos I've ever had, and I used to live in New Orleans. Literally, I ordered a 2nd helping of the shrimp tacos after I finished the first. Kinda pricey, but it's got a very cool upscale casual vibe with DJ's at night. For breakfast I would pick a spot at Eastern Market. At least that's what I'd do.

    Patrick Kane IS a Detroit Red Wing

    He's been training since I think August. And I dunno how much a 35 year old with 1200 NHL games played needs to be brought up to speed... My guess is Red Wings trainers and doctors have been evaluating him more intensely now that he's a team member. Not expected to play tomorrow, but I'm hoping we can unveil him thursday against San Jose. Hoping Kostin runs Zadina through the glass.

    Roster improves and now we can afford to look past poor coaching... His blunders are obvious and noticeable. Don't want me to call them out? Don't be a s***ty coach. Whole situation already reminds me of Zadina. "DoNT bE SO mEaN tO HiM number9, He'S ToO yOUng" I don't care if Zadina or Lalonde are rookies or grizzled vets. Bad hockey is bad hockey. Everyone gets fair treatment. The roster is improved, but that doesn't mean we have a better coach. If anything he should be under more scrutiny then Blash ever was. He doesn't have the same excuses Jeff had. I acknowledge that this is his first gig as bench boss, and he will (probably) improve with time. But mistakes are mistakes, and my biggest problem with him right now is him not learning from them. How long was it before he broke up the Chia-Seider pair last year? 35+ games? HE'S DOING IT ALL OVER AGAIN now with Walman and Seider. And trust me, I HATE to advocate for the Blashill blender, but my gawd guy, shuffle the goddamn lines. TRY Ghostbear-Seider. Try Walman-Petry. Stop going back to the well with no water in it over and over and over. At the current moment this guy reads to me like Yzerman's version of Blashill. A friend. A developer. A placeholder. A never going to take you to the promise land bro. I think we are winning despite his average coaching abilities. Unless real growth occurs on his end, I forsee a coaching change in a few years. Doom n gloom, out.

    My apologies. I don't watch draft rankings pretty much at all until maybe the end of the season. But I do follow MSU hockey, and I had no idea Levshunov was ranked so high. Kinda rare for Michigan State to pick up a player that highly touted. Last time an MSU player got drafted in the 1st round was Jim Slater 30th overall back in 2002...

    No answers to either of my questions. Predictable. In all the years I have been on board you have never forwarded anything intriguing or worthy of discussion.And yet you hang around like you know something. Move on amateur.

    So your intent is to blame what... christcuck remier? How ******* biased and delusional are you? Tell me what a bottom 3 D Core is? Cause Im pretty sure it includes bottom pair Ghost bear. Honestly, you are the worst. At least kip has a vision. You have nothing. You agree with whatever the talking heads say and disgree with anyone who has better insight. You'te literally the normie of the board. When someome tells you to stand up and clap for McDavid you do it. Clap clap retard,

    yeah i was told the same thing when i declared Seider a god. And then again when I declared Zadina a bug. Im pretty positive you called me a maniac on both, yet here we are. Do you have an honest take raddling around in that noggan or do you just do as the romans do? Flatter me, tell me what are our biggest weakness is if it isn't this s*** coaching?

    12/2 GDT - Red Wings @ Canadiens (7:00 PM EST)

    Coaching is FAR AND AWAY our biggest weakness. I like Derek more than I like Jeff, but I'm not pretending in la la land that this guy is the solution. He's not, and we can do better. Maintaining failing lines for way too long. Going to bat for crap players like Petry. Trying to change Seider's game. The team playing completely bipolar. Turtleing in the 3rd... it's his first gig, but goddamn do I not like the way he plays this team. As I said before... YOU DONT COACH PLAYERS LIKE SEIDER. You let him play and thank god he exists on your roster. I'm starting to hate Derek more than I hate Jeff. At least Jeff was clueless enough to let his star players do their thing.
