the next Chet/Wemby?

5 to 1..1 in 5....no one here gets out alive

8 years?

I heard Benetti on 97.1 one morning raving about working with Gibby..so who knows

In my 20s I had a lot of people tell me I looked like Gibby. It's tough to see him struggling because he was my doppelganger of sorts. In my late 30's people started telling me I looked like David Wells. That was wake up call to drop a few...dozen..pounds

Cap space is not an issue presently...we have bigger needs to address than playing musical chairs at a position of strength.

Or if you want to appeal to people who really love Tork bombs...Carlos Pena.

Per the Free Press...Gibby is stepping away from broadcasting to focus on his health. It's a shame.. At times he was difficult (not ancient **** Clark counting down to New Years difficult tho) to listen to, but I enjoyed hearing his perspective

Meanwhile..the 2nd line has become more effective. Gotta think there's a correlation

Per ESPN ...Tim Patrick has been re-signed

Lions sign QB Kyle Allen

Kasper is no Steven Weiss or Frans Nielsen...but he looks good so far 🙂

Damn...Junior Bridgeman died.. One of the key pieces in the trade that brought Kareem to LA. Quality sixth man who's business acumen built a billion dollar net worth

Wings have signed D Anton Johansson to an elc beginning next year Will report to GR on a pto

Vildork

Marco Kasper is making a case to be the 2C we've searched for since Filppula left for FA. Steven Weiss...Frans Nielsen..Copp...Compher...none of them lived up to their billing. Kasper could be the man

Those were some tough, tough years for hockey in Detroit...every time they started making headway they'd do something stupid ...like trading Mike Foligno or Murray Craven (for one year of a shot Daryl Sittler) or signing Rogie Vachon as a FA...a move that eventually cost them 1st round picks in 1980 and 1981 and then flipping picks with Minnesota so they could draft Brian Bellows while we got the pick that became Craven and the drugged out Don Murdoch who played a half a season in Detroit. It was a never ending nightmare that didn't start to abate until Yzerman hit town and the drafting improved

Hate to be contrarian...but I think it's a wee bit early to say definitively what you have with either player or how they could fit together going forward. They're both talented players...good teams keep talented players. Plus...you have 144 minutes of basketball across the 3-4-5, that's a lot of minutes to spread around.

The Lopez signing is going to be sneaky big. Had a lot of pressures from DT last season...

Pitching chaos =Rowdy Roddy Piper saying "just when you think you have the answers...I change the questions"

Duren has gotten better defensively this year..he's not Stew at the rim, but who is? I like what he brings to the table offensively ....he's got a decent handle and can pass the ball, plus he's got an undeniable chemistry with Cade.

Really enjoying the way Cade and Duren play together. Having Kelser calling the games...it really brings to mind what Magic and Kelser had working in their championship season. And it really seems like Blaha has kicked it up a notch this year...

You compare the Pistons FA additions from the summer..Beasley, Harris and Hardaway jr...all of those guys have played a huge part in the team's resurgence. To SY off-season adds and it's pretty easy to see why the Pistons are in the playoff mix and the Wings are fading Is SY the 4th best GM in town?

As of this am..we have the 10th pick in the draft. Lotto luck...here we come

They always come up short when it counts...
