the flyers trade a second, fourth, and ryan poheling for trevor zegras. zegras has 66 points this year. would that have been a decent trade for us to make? the flyers beat winnipeg 7-1 yesterday while the wings folded. the flyers are rebuilding and were supposed to be terrible! and who do they play in the playoffs? the penguins. kyle dubas makes a bunch of moves that work for them, what great moves has yzerman made lately? "drafting mo seider" only gets you so much cachet anymore. raymond is a nice, small scoring wing who has failed down the stretch in two straight seasons. edvinsson is coming along nicely. anything else?

My guess is that the doc would like to sell the teenage girls into marriages, and then they'd have a baby a year until they either died in childbirth or went into menopause.

Looking for suggestions on Irish history/oppression-preferably from the Irish point of view. Anyone have any?

its been seven years, this is no longer kenny's problem. this year's collapse was on yzerman. in seven years you cant get a decent second pair that doesnt get caved in regularly? in seven years you cant get a scoring wing to go along with larkin/raymond? i love stevie and i acknowledge that he was put into a tremendous hole by kenny and bad lottery luck but come on. kenny didnt make him miss on 5 of his six second round picks in his first two years. kenny didnt make him sign compher to a ridiculously long deal or rasmussen for any amount of time. he's spent his years in detroit not "overpaying" for impact players (in his words) but then overpays for marginal talent like copp, compher, and chairot. regardless, its been seven years and the team has failed time and again. its HIS team now. this is his failure.

He is handsome and he KNOWS it. Congratulations!

Happy Scoob Day

Over here in the Detroit area,there was a huge Arab crowd who refused to vote for Harris because they thought they were supporting Palestine. Wow, did they screw up... "Others acknowledge Harris’s efforts but add that it is not enough to win over Arab American and Muslim voters angry with the U.S. support for the Israeli government." https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4917055-harris-arab-american-muslim-voters-concerns/

The Leafs traded their 2026 #1 last year at the deadline but it's top 5 protected. The Leafs finally fell into the NHL bottom 5 tonight. If the Leafs win the lottery and get to pick Gavin McKenna ...

Slight hole in the baseball terminology. You can reach base in ways that don't count toward an 'on-base' streak - in this case he reached by fielder's choice, which means from a batting standpoint, he made an out. But runs scored count to your credit regardless of whether you were on base because you were 'on base' or not. 🤔

How’d he score a run if he didn’t get on base?

Watch this be the year the Wings card finally moves up.

It’s just possible that some of his voters lied about what they were actually voting for.

Screwing with the Windows 11 Co-Pilot AI dude on a Saturday night. I do 3D printing projects and like to see what my Aussie AI buddy has to say. To understand, we create a 3D modes then give them to a 3D printing machine that "slices" it into layers so it can print a bunch of really neat stuff. Slicing being the key word here. I wanted to know how many parts I could get out of a spool of filament (looks just like weed whacker line), and of course the cost. Just for fun... WTF?

Isn't that the time half of Grand Rapids Griffins were playing for the Detroit Red Wings?

Conditioning issue?

How crazy is it that I just watched 2073 on Amazon which is warning me about the evils of Amazon but they know I won't do anything about it and I will continue paying my monthly fee?

Don’t forget Stevie drafted Mo Seider, well ahead of when everyone thought he would go, and he is now the team’s cornerstone and a Norris Trophy contender. Raymond is a legitimate scorer and the second-leading scorer of his draft year. Edvinsson and Seider are by some measures the best defensive pairing in the league. Some of the prospects are TBD, but they are getting their chance. If just one of Kenny’s first round picks other than Larkin had been a good one, this team would have been in the playoffs three years ago. And go back and look at how much talent Kenny overlooked, including several players the Wings were looking to trade for this year.

Remember how MAGA and Independents voted Trump because he was supposed to be better for the economy? And how he would bring world peace? Maybe it was just more Trump lies? We should have known. (Many people did, we were all warned)

Exactly this. I think Stevie has already had a couple/few extra years because of who he is. I admit, I was excited by his hiring, especially with his success in Tampa Bay. He did start out with a bare cupboard in Detroit and he had some bad draft luck but...enough is enough.

Looks like quite a few mid-round TE's that could be useful to the Lions. Hard no on 1st round TE.

I know the first part of that tweet is wishful thinking. I’ve been saying for months that the rebuild doesn’t end until CCR contracts are up. The second part of the tweet is true: if you aren’t scoring, you better be hitting. This year’s bottom six hasn’t done either.
