Compete Level

I’m not saying I like it either, Broons falling apart enough to get Hagens last year feels like enough of a gift

It's absolutely possible that they trade Larkin -- that would be the culture shift. Aside from the White House / Trump stuff (which suuuuucked but Hockey Players), he's a tough evaluation as the team's leader: when he's really clicking (which happens more consistently on the international / all-star...

I came up with the dumbest possible result for the draft lottery: Toronto is in line for the fifth pick, but Detroit’s pick moves up, giving St. Louis the 5th pick and Boston the 6th pick. I apologize in advance for this happening.

Cross-referencing HF Boards

If the Wings add one of Augustine or Cossa then sure.

MBN would be hot also.

Would much rather have Hischier resign which is 99% going to happen.

Just saw an Instagram post relating a proposal from JFresh (who I do not like!) in which the Wings trade Larkin to the Devils for Hischier, and then extend Hischier 11.5 x 8, so almost three mill more than Larkin. I don’t see how it helps Detroit. You pay more for a guy with at best the same ceiling...

I was surprised that OEL wasn’t moved

More recently in addition to the "How could the Wings make the playoffs" talks, my son, presumably in force of habit, has asked me who the Wings will draft this year, and I've had to remind him that they traded their pick for Justin Faulk. I can't imagine they'll move up to fifth or whatev...

When the Devils scored the go-ahead goal, I was busy telling my son the ways in which the Wings could make the playoffs (for the tenth time in the last week).

He just turned 11 and the only time the Wings made the playoffs in his life was when he was an infant.

Worst Wings games this season, from memory: 10. Islanders, 10/23: 7-2 loss I prefer giving up a touchdown and being totally outclassed to having my heart pulled out of my chest, but man, they got fucking killed that night. 9. Buffalo, 11/15: 5-4 OT loss The game that brought the Sabres back to life....

Congratulations to the Ottawa Senators and their fans, except for Brady Tkachuk and Ridly Grieg who should fall in a well

EN goal for the Devils, RIP Wings

Fucking 2 on 1 for the Devils after a loose puck in the Devils’ slot goes the other way, 4-3 NJ

Fucking hell

Devils get a fortunate bounce off a skate and it’s 3-3

Sure looked like Finnie got high-sticked going in on the forecheck

Raymond with a slick play to go between the legs of the defender, gets it in front, Finnie buries it

Jesper Bratt floats one through traffic and it finds a way

2-2

David Perron, never doubted you

Broken play just inside the Devils’ line, Compher found Perron and he wired it top shelf

Devils have had way too much zone time this period

Wings tied after 1, Faulk scored and then a minute later J’accuse tied it up.

Oh no not Brady
