Watch him yield less than we got for Hronek.

When did I say that? I made two posts. In one I reported that Canuck talk radio is angry and confused by the trade, I didn’t say anything about disagreeing with that. In the second post I speculated that the Wings could be able to get more for that 1st round pick than they gave up to get it

Assumption is that Yzerman will use this new pick to swap for someone better than Hronek now or at draft or in summer, right?

Vancouver talk radio is on fire. Have been listening here since trade went down. Nothing personal against Hronek, but they are all dumbfounded as to why the Canucks made this move now.

Wings could have used a few truckers last night and tonight. https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/downtown-ottawa-roads-businesses-shut-down-as-freedom-convoy-protesters-flood-parliament-hill-1.5759563 Fireworks and the sounds of truck horns filled the air on a cold Saturday evening, as thousands of truckers and their supporters remained in downtown Ottawa. The ‘Freedom Convoy’ demonstrators are protesting COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other public health restrictions, with no word on what will happen next or how long they are planning to stay. The number of vehicles and people converging on the area around Parliament Hill caused total gridlock in the city's core, closing roads and forcing a downtown mall to close early for the day.

Nyquist traded to Minnesota. For just a 5th round pick. I remember how excited it seemed when he first came up. I believe 2013 was his magical spring, practically a goal a game against one point

Wings have been outscored 10-3 in 4 periods in Ottawa so far.

Our defense and goal may be closer to being fixed than our forward lines. I wouldn't have predicted that 2 years ago.

https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2586812 The Detroit Red Wings signed defenseman Jake Walman to a three-year extension Tuesday with an average annual value of $3.4 million.

Geez, I wish Tampa had been interested in Bertuzzi. The6 gave up 5 draft picks for Tanner Jeannot!

Problem is the Lightning lost to Buffalo the other night and got blown out by Pittsburgh today. Thanks a lot, Tampa.

Ken Kal reminds us why the Wings are playing back to back games in Ottawa. I knew it had been due to a prior cancellation of some sort but had forgotten the details.

Not good.

Weirdly, I may feel better about the Wings’ playoff chances after this 3-0 loss than I did before the game.

When was the last time the Wings had 42 shots on goal with still 12 minutes left in regulation?

Rasmussen left the game earlier after a blocked shot.

Backbreaker of a goal with 7 seconds left in 2nd period. 2-0 despite a whopping 31-12 shots advantage for the Wings.

This has been an entertaining 1st period. Tampa with only goal so far, but Wings hold8ng their own. Big save by Vasilevsky on Bertuzzi shortly after Bolts had clanged one off the past at the other end.

I had just come here to that post. I always liked Don Shane. He reminded me of a friendly high school Socials teacher.

And now just a game under what I consider to be true .500: 28 Wins, 29 Losses (L + OTL + SOL). And if I'm reading it correctly, the Wings are 22-21 in games that end in regulation, and 6-8 in games decided in overtime or the shootout.

Except for John Motson dying. He made soccer sound exciting before I knew soccer could be exciting.

This is surely Wings’ best stretch since 2016.

True. And I see no reason they need to pick up Patrick Kane, as rumoured

The Rangers have a lot of talent. I can see them winning a President’s Trophy sometime in the next few years.
