I have to think Mittelstadt was available for a reasonable price, given what Boston gave up. Coyle is old and Avs gave up Mittelstadt AND a 2nd rounder.

Back to the Mrazek cap hit. Signed for one more year on a $4.5mm cap hit. I’d have preferred he be on an expiring contract.

Mrazek wasn’t a goalie I had in mind, but I was interested in adding to that position since Talbot and Lyon seem to be running out of steam. So fine

Grumpy old man comment of the day from me: the word “fleeced” needs to be banned from message boards.

That’s a nice cap hit to get Rantanen locked up. I’d pay him that much.

Today is not Yzerman’s finest day.

Ha, came here to post that. I figured I was the only one still up.

Dislocated elbow for Mazur

4-2 final, 4th straight loss. Full speed into the collapse.

4-2 Utah!

Feels like if the Wings don’t tie it in the next 12 minutes and go on to win it, the season will be on life support.

More fans than minutes.

Edvinsson hobbles off after being hit on back of leg. Might be something he can just walk off.

Larkin scores early in the 1st to tie it 1-1. Hope this a sign that he's back.

Wonder if the Sharks will send Oilers a 2nd rounder to take Walman off their hands.

I’m confident that Tarasenko is still good enough offensively to score goals against high schoolers.

I loved how Thompson couldn’t get a word in without a homer being inserted into the conversation.

Are they? I will look into it on Twitter. Tampa gave a lot!

Yeah it wasn't just last year, it was the season before when a disastrous back to back against Ottawa just before the deadline led to Yzerman abandoning the season. Is the Wings' depth so lacking that even an injury to a middling player like Copp can send them downwards? At least last year the slide coincided with the loss of captain Larkin. Is it goaltending hitting the wall this time of year due to defense all year not being strong enough? Anyways, I'll try not to overreact just yet. It has only been 3 games. But picking up 0 of 6 available points this time of year is killer, especially when 2 of the 3 games were at home and when 2 of the 3 games were against teams at the same level.

sorry wrong thread.

Speaking of Cobb again, I’ve posted both of these clips on this board before but in case you haven’t seen them I’ll post them here. One is Cobb on a tv game show in 1953, the other is a 15 minute interview with him a few years later in which gave he discusses the 1908 pennant race A third one I came across more recently is an interview with him at his home in 1930 as he pets a dog throughout
