Lalonde should cancel Raymond's birthday party, maybe it'll have some Nashville effect.

Is Kasper NHL ready next year?

Given that Kasper isn't even going to get a single game in the NHL this season, I doubt he will be full-time next year.

I don't think Kasper will be full-time NHL until 2025-2026.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Welp, considering this team has immensely volatile defense and goaltending game-to-game and refused to call up Ed when Larkin went down, shit was bound to get ugly. I didn't know they'd be THIS bad though for such a long stretch.

Oh well, lots about the future to look forward to, but the stopgap vets like Ghost, Perron, Sprong, Petry, Holl, Reimer, all must go. Some contractual decisions by SY this offseason are gonna be under scrutiny for sure. I hope he sees what we are seeing and cuts the losses

Hopefully we can snag another useful piece that gets overlooked ala Sandin-Pellikka mid 1st round

I still can’t comprehend why he didn’t trade some prospects and picks for some damn help this season to give these guys a fighting chance

Or use some picks all we hear about is prospects and picks we have. Why not trade a pick or two?

I know marijuana legalization has a big push lately, but I’m beginning to think Yzerman’s pot habit is negatively affecting his decision making.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Why are we promoting a 7th round 18 year old so hard? What an abysmal time to be a Wings fan...

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Ras makes a nice play to stop the puck in his end, immediately makes a tape to tape pass to a Canes player at center ice.

It's the story of Ras in a nutshell

 

[nbwingsfan]

How pissed would everyone be if he did this and we still were here. Which I think would be the case.

How pissed would I be if he traded one of our 64 B level prospects or some 2nd/3rd round pick to show this team he’s serious about us making the post season and rewarding their effort regardless if we made it or not?


A hell of a lot less pissed than I am now that He just twiddled his thumbs and hoped for the best.

We don’t have enough room for all these prospects.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Game Management Rules: Breaking your stick on Ed in the second period is not a slash. Now that it's 4-0 in the third, a one hander that hits the stick is now a slash.

 

[GMR]

You guys do realize that Holl, Perry, Perron, Reimer, etc. will be gone next year only to be replaced by similar journeyman jobbers?

As I’ve said before, the top Atlantic teams aren’t going away. The other teams who miss the playoffs will regroup. This team is stuck in mediocrity.

How can they be stuck in mediocrity already when this is the first season they've risen to a level that could be called mediocre?

Contract extension.

 

[Sadekuuro]

Hey wait that's Andersen in goal? I actually hadn't noticed til now due to the lack of heat on him.

 

[LongTimeDRWF]

For what it worth, Caps will lose 5-1 Philly still losing 2-0 to Habs, about 5 minutes left

Edit Habs up 3-0 about 2 minutes left, 4 on 4 for pretty much the rest of the game

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Larkin
Raymond
Kane
Debrincat (being nice)
Seider
Edvinsson
Compher
Walman (when he's on)
Literally EVERYONE ELSE CAN GO!

Last season they were in a similar place. I was talking about the future though. How much higher can they finish next season with more raw prospects and no game breakers?

 

[Realgud]

Raymond's disappearance is sad. At least he's still playing "well" but he is far from the difference maker he was a few games ago.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Wings were 8th worst in the league last season. Right now they're playing like they want to end up there again but I don't think even they can manage that.

Next season, who knows. I'll complain about that bridge when I cross it.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Sprong no pass! Bad Sprong! BAD! Sprong SHOOT!!

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Trashmussen is back.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

I don't mind Veleno but damn, he is one monotonous NHLer. No points in the last 12, about to be 13.

 

[FabricDetails]

Sprong no pass! Bad Sprong! BAD! Sprong SHOOT!!

Remember this doode?

Is it wrong for me to find more entertainment reading posts here (and at LGW) than watching the game tonight?

Sounds about Carolina.
