  1. https://x.com/LGRWProspects/status/1826210610884833551 MBN has had an excellent start in the SHL.... though he only has Nygard on his jersey maybe I need to start going with that Ended up on the bottom but I love to see him going at guys ASP hasn't played in either of the two preseason games with MBN so that has me a little worried...guessing injury
  2. He can take both of my feet if he wants, awful news
  3. Like how they did with Marc Staal? Or getting reclamation projects like Fabbri, Walman, Bowey or Perlini?
  4. It will be interesting to see how he fairs in Montreal
  5. Oddly enough I know someone who's parents were on that flight haha. They had already been super delayed because of a plane malfunction too. I was shocked to see it was ol Gosder this morning, crazy.
  6. I realized that it was time with the new seasons starting....we should get a lot more highlights as the SHL season gets rolling.
  7. I'm not sure what trading Larkin would do except thrust them back into another extended rebuild. It pretty much means guys like Seider and Raymond won't be competing much in their primes and undoes all the incremental improvements. And we've seen how long a rebuild can take, I don't think anyone wants to do that. I think they're still trending in the right direction and just need to hold course. Maybe my rose tinted glasses are too thick but I think guys like Danielson (puck carrying/possession in the neutral zone, zone entries on offense), Kasper (**** disturber, playoff performer) and MBN (heavy shot, excellent on the forecheck) are going to be fantastic compliments to what they have, they all bring an element that the Wings really need. I think you have to get them in the mix the next couple of seasons and see what you have. Add in that Cossa is developing and they have a couple other younger goalies in the mix I don't think you have to panic if they don't make the playoffs this season.
  8. I don't think he's on the hot seat but if the Wings start the season badly he might be. I do have some bones to pick with him. He seems to be reluctant to use timeouts to calm the team down when games are slipping away, maybe sticks with some line pairings too long too. And a few times he's explained plays / his defensive system and it feels much too rigid and kinda odd at times. Maybe they just don't have the personnel to run it correctly? All that being said I think a coach's impact on wins and losses in the NHL is fairly minimal these days so I am not clamoring for him to be fired. It'll be interesting to see if he grows as a coach as the roster gets better.
  9. I think Edvinsson will start the season in Detroit, just not on Seider's pairing. I kind of like the idea of having them separate anyways, at least one of them will be on the ice 2/3 of the time (theoretically).
  10. Newsy kinda looks like Dan's kid, but he always kinda looks like a giant baby to me anyways 😂
  11. A lot of progress has been made on my neighborhood pyramid. There was a Spanish speaking "news outlet" (I put in quotes because it seemed like a low budget affair) doing reports on it this morning it seemed like
  12. I wouldn't want to hang around Aaron Rodgers either
  13. Ya I'm starving for any Wings news / info so I figured I'd do a pretty pointless update there lol. Really itching for them to get the Seider and Raymond deals done. Apparently Plante looked really good for USA during that summer tournament, I'm really excited about adding him to the prospect pool. I have forced some more "info" in!
  14. Sounds like they are walking back the MBN starting in Detroit stuff, sounds like he's expected in the SHL this season which makes sense in the end. I was hoping he'd get a good look to see how he fits in with Detroit, they could use his forechecking prowess and shot but if they think he's better served playing top minutes in Sweden (looks like he's practicing that way) then giddy up.
  15. Liking what I see of Rakestraw in run support here
  16. Nate Sudfield must be great in the QB room...
  17. It is a pleasant surprise seeing him, I had no clue he'd be on the announcing crew.
  18. My only guess is something for a tv show or movie but ya lack of permit + other info just makes it seem super sketchy. Might have to go get a closer look later tonight haha.
  19. I guess it fits here, but I came home from a week long trip working at Gen Con and our neighbors across the street have apparently started building a.......pyramid in their front yard??? Doesn't seem like it should be legal to me, I'm so confused over it haha.
  20. Looking forward to reading whatever thought pops into your head next!
  21. Kostin randomly had a strong playoffs before too so there was some hope he had some untapped skill. I think Klim thought so too because I always thought he tried to do way too much with the puck...
  22. Sounds about right! I know he had locker room problems early in his career too.
