Compete Level

I bet Reaves has done some very intimidating trash talk

I’ve had the Canes Isles game on in the background so I haven’t really been watching it much, but the Canes with 11 shots through two periods is a surprise

Even with Guentzel, I’m at the point with the Canes where I need to see it before I believe it.

I don't feel like there's necessarily a favorite to come out of either conference. The top five teams in the East all seem like legitimate possibilities and it's hard to concretely eliminate many teams (LA seem like frauds) from the West.

I'm going to raise a regular season banner, fuck it

It's conceivable to me that the Isles injure Svechnikov and Guentzel in the first two games and win that series

Rags in five
Canes in five
Florida in six
Leaves in six

Dallas in seven
JERTS in seven
Shreds in six

Wow

Probably swimming in a room of gold coins

Apparently a fan found it in a dumpster? And it was never displayed at Mullet?

I looked through the player comps for Pronman's most recent top 40 for 2024 and as if to confirm my feeling that this draft stinks after the top ten or so, the following Red Wings are cited: Andrew Copp (#22 Cole Beaudoin) Robby Fabbri (#24 Linus Eriksson) Justin Holl (#27 Dominik Badinka) Daniel Sp...

Edvinsson's assigned to GR for their playoff run

Considering driving out for a game

Alex Lyon B-: Lyon had 39 NHL games scattered over six years of previous action. He played in 44 this year, including 25/28 at one point. He was fantastic in January (.923, 2.54) and couldn't win a game in March. Without him, they would not have been in the playoff chase, but he 100% got worn out fr...

Buium’s a LHD but I prefer him to Parekh, hands down (and with a prospect pool similarly in need of that position)

Adam Jiricek is an interesting option at RHD, missed a lot of the season due to injury, but my guess is he goes after the SNES and before the Wings

RHD worth it are Levshunov (they’d need to move up), Yakemchuk (Pronman has him at 3, somehow), and Parekh, who is the most likely to be around when they pick. That guy seems like a boom/bust candidate.

They should draft a coach, they’ll definitely get the top one on the board

What’s their biggest positional need, defense? Scoring winger? Options at both of those at 7. People love Demidov. I’ll do my yearly How God Will Smite Me rankings of lottery preferences when the season’s officially over. Looking at draft boards my gut says the Wings pick Brandsegg-Nygaard or howeve...

[deep sigh] It's grading time Lucas Raymond A: He became a star in the last month, scoring huge goals at huge times, and it doesn't feel like he hit his ceiling. Still best with Larkin but was able to carry his own line for stretches. Dylan Larkin A-: Missed 14 games, which was one of the reasons t...
