    Wildcard Race, Detroit vs. Everybody (literally)

    He's so conservative and risk adverse it's hurting us. 2 guys he passed on that Ottawa took on won the game the other night... Cozens and Ullmark
  2. That's a question the gutless Detroit sports media should ask... but they're too scared to lose access to a forever. 500 team.
  3. We're so fukced no playoffs, no lotto pick, no superstar, cap space tied up in garbage.
  4. But why? What's the point of that trade? Mrazek has another year at 4.25... we just got rid of Husso's contract. Smith is 35 and a pending UFA.
  5. A buddy of mine was in Europe and caught yesterday's Skelleftea game. He said ASP was everywhere looked ready now.. but MBN wasn't noticeable at all. Take that for what it's worth.
  6. Ken would trade our 1st to get Walman back and have that pick be a multiple veznia trophy winner.
  7. Horrible asset management... a move that NEVER made sense. Also, we're cooked. Injuries are starting to mount and so are the losses. Looks like a mini-sell... there's always next year. FML

    GDT: Season 98 Episode 61 - Hurricane Mikko Category 6

    Yea probably makes us a seller? It would be great to make a quality long-term add.
  9. Tyler Tiffoli maybe... the contract is kinda ugly but I love the player.

    Red Wings 2024-25 Season Catch All

    Our remaining strength of schedule is ridiculous I hope they play up.

    That isn’t incorrect... but that's ok. We're sorry you elected a dink that's selling out every working person in America to line his pockets.

    What's up with the ice in Vancouver... lots of odd bobbles and fans on passes where the puck seems to get stuck to the ice.

    What's up with Ken Daniels... did he trip and fall or something?

    Lalonde FIRED. McLellan Hired!

    Lalonde's problem was he's a beta personality. He played and coached to 'not lose'. He needed to take a few risks like splitting Ed and Mo, playing Albert, calling up Elmer... but he was playing it so safe he couldn't. Not to mention how he coached with a lead....

    Rantenen traded to Carolina??? What?

    News From Around the NHL *Mod warning page 75*

    Likely both... we seem to want to make a "hockey trade" instead of buying more washed vets at the deadline.
  21. Our roster is abysmal. Others than 2 guys on D, 4 smallish skilled forwards and average goaltending we're absolute trash.

    2024-25 In Season Trades/Waivers/Promotions Thread

    I think our bottom 6 gets a bigtime remodel in the off season. Ras and Burgers can stay Copp can just die... etc

    GDT: 1/14/25 Sharks @ Red Wings

    Can we catapult Husso into the sun already. I'd rather they call up Campbell.

    The longer this streak and the better the team and a lot of individual players look... ya gotta think that makes Lalonde less and less likely to get another HC role.

    That's true... but I really like Johansson... I think he's comfortably a top-4 D really soon.
