I would be shocked if Compher didn't make the team but he has been skating more with players who seem to be on the bubble so who knows.

I feel like the lineups the last couple games have been like half made up of AHL fodder, but I also haven't been watching the last few

The bad The good

I'm gonna be sick! Saw someone say that Dumba crosschecked him? I didn't see any of the game.

Largely the B-team with Danielson, Bear and Wallinder sprinkled in (edit: whoops I missed Finnie's name!). Gibson making his first start for Detroit. I thought Truscott had some moments looking good last game, it did help that not only did he play with Seider but the coaches kinda deployed them in an offensive role with their zone starts. It'll be interesting if they try to lessen some of Seider's shut down role in the regular season.

I can't blame people for being bitter towards the Wings, but the prospects have been looking good so I am personally choosing to focus on that! It has been fun seeing them mixed in with our NHL roster, and overall doing pretty well.

Love to see the positivity in here lol

Danielson with the secondary assist, MBN has such a wicked release

shorthanded

Hmmm I feel like Amik was the guy Bateman kept beating based on my recollection?

Apparently with Danielson on the ice against Bedard, the shots were 7-0 in favor for the Wings. ASP had the most time on ice of any player and Bear led the forwards. I thought MBN looked really good from the parts I saw. This was great.

Wings win

Emmitt Finnie, so hot right now

Fair play to SF then that went right over my head 😂

Maybe I'm a weirdo but it is the opposite for me. I spent most of my life watching and supporting the Lions being absolutely awful with bad coaching and bad front offices. So just the mere fact we have a great coach and gm makes it way easy for me to just sit back and enjoy games no matter what happens. Sure they may lose games still but it could be a whole hell of a lot worse because I lived through it being worse! Also it is wild to see someone claim that Grok is always right lol. You could easily google the date that grok gave and see that the Lions lost to the Ravens 48-3. We're so cooked as a civilization with this reliance on AI brain rot.

Always fun reading the meltdowns in these game threads after the Lions have great wins

https://youtu.be/L4TrHoJPNaE?si=WHmKKScZf3Tzpv8b It does feel like Todd is a good fit for where the team is at right now He was asked a question about getting Copp back and Todd volunteered JT Compher's name to the discussion about how both players had two games to them. One that was passive and hesitant, and one game that was engaged and pushing. Felt like he was calling them both out to play hard all the time or the wings would find other options, which I love. He also spoke about Finnie twice in very positive terms. It probably won't be this season but I think Finnie will be a NHL contributor, which is amazing for a 7th round pick. His game seems very translatable to the NHL from what little I've seen him play.
