YYYYEEERRRRR LGRW 🐙🏒🤘
Shannon, I certainly hope that Stevie Y is not done yet in getting a top four D and a top 6 forward.
Yzerman is most definitely on the hot seat. It doesn't feel right to put his name next to those words but we're here. No more excuses.
Fire Yzerman
Hamonic O/U 50GP 💀💀
Raymond is going to be a 100 point player we love the guy. Also Danielson is the next guy up after Mazur. MBN needs some more time in GRR for the North American ice.
"Nygård" is pronounced "Nuuu-Guard"
Hamonic seriously pushing the top 6 is insane to me
Raymond will become a superstar, I'm sure of it. He's way underrated.
neutral zone forecheck and puck possession for more scoring without giving up defense coverage?
Last chance for the Yzerplan. Signings feel meh and Gibson should help, but I don't think it's enough. 6th in the Atlantic with 83-88 points.
It's unbelievable that this is the roster we're going into the year with.
All the people who think Yzerman is the on the hot seat or want him fired, who would do a better job and what is your bright idea to do a better job? So tired of all these low iq takes.
Man, that D-core is bad. Only Seider and Edvinsson and worth a top-4 spot.
Ras being 5th in scoring for us says a lot about how bad we've been. I'm very positive that we'll still be in the hunt come April, whether we make it or not will depend on whether our Blue line gets better. Think MBN has agreed to head back to Sweden for a season. ASP will be in GR but chances are he will get a call up at some point this season. I'm still not convinced that Cossa is the goalie we will need him to be, but he's young so I'm not overly worried. Bergy has to be on the trade radar as he's in his mid 20's now and hasn't lived up to the hype. Let's Go Wings.
stick with it, great effort
I'm just waiting for the inevitable rebuild in about four years. Hopefully Wings will have a new GM by then.
I don't think this is the year we break our duck, unfortunately. If we lose Seider or Edvinsson to injury the blue line looks horrific.
That said if a revamped bottom 6 helps with secondary scoring and we improve that wretched penalty kill we could be in the mix.
We needed a top 6 forward and top 4 defenseman but weren't able to address those needs.
Detroit feels like the most mediocre team in the East rn. They're not good enough to be seen as a playoff team, yet not bad enough to be called truly bad. Truly the worst spot to be in.
Everyone talks about how bad Detroit's defense is, but the facts is that Detroit allowed less 5v5 goals than Carolina last season. The big difference was that Detroit had the worst PK in the league and Carolina had the best. If the PK improves and Gibson is better than Husso and Lyon, Detroit could be pretty good.
