great individual goal by raymond and its 2-0.

albert with a great little move to score. one of the knock on effects of copp going out was having to yake kasper off the top line. it hasnt been nearly as effective without him on there doing the dirty work.

not a lot of jump in this game. early start maybe has them a little off.

i dont rate bertuzzi or mantha. bert is such a flawed player who freelances and pays 0 attention to his teammates or defense. mantha is a flake. larkin was a foundational piece and hronek turned into a really good defenseman.

that type of stuff might be counterproductive in the long run. refs will start to hate you, or just laugh at you. no one gives a damn about the pistons outside of detroit. no offense. but as a fan, i appreciate someone airing our grievances.

wasnt sga picked with the pick we gave the clippers for blake griffin?

hilarious to watch 7 foot kat being guarded by 6'6 draymond greene and refusing to post up. so much so that draymond is calling him soft every time down the floor and he proves him right by standing on the perimeter every time.

The basketball gods are punishing them for trading a generational player for a sack of beans.

its really sad how much of that you see in the nba. you dont see it in any other sport like you do in nba basketball.

worst teams in wings history by srs:

i never thought you'd be all in on 2019 being a good team, but here we are.

this. i'm not sure a regime that passed on jalen carter is going to take mike green.

i think asp comes up before danielson. unless danielson pulls a kasper and really starts to dominate gr down the stretch.

gustafsson flubs a great set up from kane, then does a bad pinch leading to a 2 on 1 that holl breaks up. i hate that guy so much.

losing at home to the worst team in the nba wouldnt be ideal.

if kasper keeps it up, he might finish top 5 in calder votes.

btw, have the red wings found a legit 2C in kasper?

boeser at 8 or marner at 13.5 or 14?

you'll be able to get him back after he gets cut later this year. just like he does every year.

ekblad is out for florida on a ped suspension. might lower his price this offseason if anyone is interested. i wouldnt be. not at the price, age, and decline. how about an offer sheet to byram, miller, bouchard, or dobson? all young defensemen who could potentially step into a top 4 role. how much would you pay marner? i think it would cost the wings 7 years at 14 to get him. i know rantanen got 12m but that's in a low tax state. michigan is...umm....not that.

and that's why JB will be runner up for coach of the year this season.

89-92 makes the dynasty. 89 might be the greatest draft in nhl history: sillinger, boughner and dallas drake... and lidstrom, federov, and konstantinov. 90 gets them primeau who was dealt for shanahan, and kozlov. 91 gets osgood and 92 gets mccarty. there's your drafting well. i consider getting datsyuk in round 6 and zetterburg in round 7 to be lucky. great luck aided by good scouting, but they missed on plenty of russians and swedes in there along the way.

in 1988 they had 11 draft picks and only 4th rounder sheldon kennedy made the nhl. and he was bad. but to his credit he was bad in detroit for 5 years. that's something. at least he got his pension.

between 84 and 87 they had four top 11 picks. shawn burr, brent fedyk, joe murphy (at #1) and yves racine. that's a whole lotta "meh." and then they doubled down on it by dealing murphy, second round pick adam graves, and others for jimmy carson. that worked well....for adam graves.

1983. in addition to yzerman, they took klima and PROBERT, KOCUR, AND GRIMSON! its the toughest draft in wings history. oh, and steve yzerman.
