I get why the jerseys are the way they there, necessary evil and bla bla bla. But they genuinely makes me sad.
I feel the same sadness everytime NHL announcers have to degrade themselves by doing advertisements mid-game and announcing every highlight as a ”Brought to you by..”.
Less commercial breaks too.

This helmet brought to you by GM, as we enter the PPG Paints Power Play, with the puck brought to you by Gatorade!

Oh dear, I was wondering from where was that PPG Paint company familiar, but they are planning to buy biggest Finnish paint company Tikkurila.

More revenue is good. The big corp's & conglomerates can afford it. They just write it off as an advertising expense anyway.

Karanos will not be happy about this. Neither will the Karen's.

It's gonna start looking like NASCAR helmets, lol. I hope the Wings get sponsored by m&m or Skittles.

(It's probably wind up being the LC mascot, Chris paying himself and writing it off.)

Highly recommend you guys check out the latest Winged Wheel Podcast episode, they had J.D Burke on there to discuss Red Wings prospects.

“Burke: So this Theodor Niederbach kid, he’s okay right?”
Hakan Andersson: “J.D., a few years from now, people are going to be laughing at the idea we got this kid in the 2nd round.”

Is that a good or bad thing?

Dick Axelsson laughing or Tyler Bertuzzi laughing?

Is Hakan usually that confident about a pick (regardless of round) ?

Not that I can remember.
I didn't think so either, from what I'd heard him say or had read over the years. That's really great news. I'm pretty high on him. Glad we finally got a skilled RH-C prospect. Raymond the other RHS Top6/Elite potential.


HM: to Cotton & Draper) as RHS if they make it.


Viro is gonna be my darkhorse on D for '20 draft, Neids up front.

Not usually. He was just as bullish about the Albert Johansson pick, though. Even if he hasn't found us a Zetterberg or Datsyuk in a long time he's done a good job for us over the last 20 years. I believe Henkka and MBH posted some stats about the ratio of Hakan picks making it somewhere on the Wings board. Maybe this thread?

Interesting hearing from the scouts. As much as the fans hammer on about "BPA BPA BPA no matter what!" it does seem like scouting staffs are more mindful of balancing positional need. I do think the Cholowski pick made Q. Hughes less likely (gross), the Zadina pick made a guy like Holtz less likely, the Seider pick made Drysdale less likely, etc.
