Hey guess what? DANIELSON IS HURT TOO! just put a bullet in them and end it.

The wizards are an embarassment. dont you have any pride?

elmer was just as soft, come on. their entire forward line does almost nothing in this game. nothing. HIT SOMEBODY! DO SOMETHING!

theyre too damn small up front! debrincat, compher, kane, raymond. and ras is their big guy? useless! again, in fairness, show me a team that loses their top 2 centers and wins consistently? but otoh, you lucked into the lead and blew it SPECTACULARLY! can someone please explain why rasmussen is on this team? THEY ICED THE PUCK FOR THE ENTIRE THIRD PERIOD AND THEN REFUSED TO DUMP IT IN THE FINAL MINUTE! its like a comedy of doing everything wrong. again, raymond was wide open standing in front of the goalie with a chance to ice the game and he shot it right at him. if you want to pretend to be a top forward then ACT LIKE ONE!!!! larkin is hurt so STEP IT UP! and that last play had their entire forward line almost below the goalie!!!! what are you doing?

They better call danielson up. between kasper sucking all season and danielson doing nothing all year long, and asp looking WAY over his head, our vaunted prospect pool isnt exactly giving a lot of hope. and dont give me any cossa crap, every other goalie in GR has a GAA under 2 and a better save %.

three wings forwards below the other team's circle allows a panthers break and they score. soft soft soft soft soft. look, they lost their top two centers. in reality, they should have lost this game. they were double shifting compher and ras. of course, because theyre compher and ras, THEY SUCK. this is the game that loses the season. once again, larkin gets hurt raymond doesnt show up, and the rest of the team coasts.

soft ass team blows it.

four players screen gibson and its tied.

raymond wide open in front. stoned.

maybe brad knew his medicals all along? or planted them with the ravens! we'll give you TWO 4th rounders for him...

lucky break, but finnie jumped on it and kasper finished it.

kasper!!!!!!

another icing.

that's been coming a long time.

STOP ICING THE PUCK.

nobody said they "exclusively" draft fpr need, but they DO DRAFT FOR NEED. Cb was their biggest need and they drafted two of them. dt was a huge need and they reached for one in round one. jaymo, gibbs, campbell, laporta were drafted when the lions needed EVERYTHING.

copp hurt, larkin hurt, who's next?

you watch, the wings will miss the playoffs and THIS WILL BE THE YEAR THEY WIN THE LOTTERY.

NO ONE IN THE EAST EVER LOSES (except the leafs).

they dont draft for need except those times that the bpa lined up with needs....how ridiculous does that sound? it just HAPPENED to line up with need the last two years. oh ok.

i agree. that's why i hated the deadline. they did nothing when they have their best shot at the finals in 15 years. assuming that "because the core is young" means they will be this good every year is fool's gold. theyre about to be capped out but refused to make their move for a robin to cade's batman, all because duren "catches lobs real good." as you point out, the lions were built to win for 5 years, dont worry about losing that nfc championship game, theyre so young! and then the next year the entire defense is injured, and two years later you finish last in the division. progress isnt always linear. teams dont always get better. the league only bails out the spurs and idiots only hand star players to the lakers, not detroit. i get that ivey was an albatross and not an asset, but was heurter really the BEST you could do? you couldnt have thrown a couple seconds in with ivey to get dosunmu? or even coby white? as flawed as they are they would be more productive than heurter. anyway, rant over. trajan really missed, imo. i hope it doesnt cost them this year. and as far as matching up against the knicks, i wouldnt assume they could beat miami or charlotte right now. they should, but that assumes ausar is healthy.

yes

They draft for need all the time. they talk **** about bpa and turn around and draft corner and dt, both were positions of need. they will draft a left tackle unless they sign another free agent. and then they still might. if they do, its bye bye manu.

its going to be really funny when we pick before the twolves.

so if the pistons flop at the finish and end up 4th in the east, will we all still be mad even though that's where we thought they'd be before the season started, and they did nothing at the deadline? i will never not be salty that trajan sat on his ass and did nothing to really help the team. although now that tatum is back they probably werent going to win it anyway.
