Agree with the first part, disagree with the second. Not necessarily saying the window is closed, but there's no guarantees in sports. Goff isn't young. The offensive line needs a rebuild. Still no pass rush. The secondary is decimated every year. But the salary cap looks good 5 years from now.

I think that's the issue. At least for me it is. We gave up multiple picks to move up to get a guy who's raw and a work in progress? I didn't like it at the time and even less so now. The pass catching is one thing, but his blocking is atrocious. I don't understand why they aren't in win now mode.

Come on! My daughter's getting married tomorrow. I need sleep!

He literally got thrown out by Vest because he was jogging down to second base. (Underrated play of the game) Did you know Will Vest used to be a shortstop? Its becoming the Matthew Stafford/Clayton Kershaw of this year's playoffs.

The dive of '25 wasn't a "collapse". It was a COLLAPSE. Obviously, a series win in the playoffs would take away some of the stench. The Tigers could have done something about the Guardians and put them away when they had the chance and their "epic" run would have been an afterthought.

Where do we get the idea that Yzerman doesn't see value in making the playoffs? He has an extremely punchable face.

It takes 10 years for a rebuild. Fans need to be patient. No point in just making the playoffs. Some great talent in the minors. No sense in making trades and giving away a late round pick for an established player that would help us make the playoffs. (mocking Yzerman for the non hockey Tiger fans)

It was so insensitive of her to talk about JFK like that. Too soon.

What's sad is that none of the Right wing politicians or pundits give a flying **** about Charlie Kirk or his kids or Tyler Robinson. It's all about how they can own the libs or blame their target group of the day. Yesterday, it was all out civil war and let's arm ourselves. Today, it's the college indoctrination, mental health and praying for the wayward souls. The sheeple eat it up.

Not sure what your neighbor being African American has to do with anything. It doesn't give the impression you think it does. Am I remembering correctly, did Charlie Kirk call for the Epstein files to be released a few months ago?

I was most shocked to hear he was 31. Hate is definitely aging. They're probably rounding up every brown or LGBTQ person within 100 miles looking for a way to find them guilty.

The offense will only go as far as the offensive line will take them. If Goff doesn't have time to throw, he will not look like a star and the receivers won't either. If they can't establish the run because Goff can't complete passes or gets sacked, Gibbs and Montgomery will not look like stars. The conservative approach and lack of creativity was disappointing, as was the inability to make adjustments.

I guess where my frustration lies is that it seems that Yzerman doesn't see value in "just" making the playoffs. It seems he feels they have to be Cup contenders and that missing the playoffs isn't a big deal because they aren't contenders anyway. Even a first round sweep is better than missing the playoffs to me. Thinking back, the Wings first made the playoffs in 85-86 and it took 11 years to win the Cup. If we're still a couple of years away from making the playoffs and another 10+ after that to win it all, I'll be too damn old to enjoy it!

I guess I'm in the minority. It's not like I don't think he deserves the jersey retirement, but I wasn't bothered by the fact it wasn't. So much good, but also the not so good things... many nights where he was invisible, laying on the ice like he was shot, the contract issues, the pedophilia. Perhaps the Tigers and Lions success has something to do with it, but I haven't been this disinterested in a Red Wings season in decades. I also feel like the jersey retirement is just to bring up the good old days to distract us from the playoff drought.
