It was good to see that Perron was wasting no time in bringing physicality and emotion to the ice.
Stop making excuses for Raymond. He was fine in the Olympics . He just doesn’t have the intensity and effort you need from one of your supposed best players. He glides a lot.
I think Brad is the only one that doesn't have Stockholm Syndrome at this point
Congrats Ryan and Melissa!
The banter about Evan wanting statues was hysterical. 😅
"Gritty comes out and just tombstones a kid." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Holy shit, that sent me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
We’re a pretty boring team. Not good without Larkin
Can we just bring up the whole GR roster?
ASP is 6ft bro he's not that small lmao. Q Hughes is shorter. Fox is shorter.
On the bright side the odds of McKenna being in the division for years to come are approaching 1:1.
The red things couldn't beat the women's Olympic hockey team. Go dead wings!
Ummmm what’s the overall record for the Winged Wheel podcast nights?
I was at the Tampa game and the only reason it wasn't terrible is because both teams were playing horrendously slow and safe. Tampa did them a solid playing half speed for them and that's the only reason it was close. I've never been to such a boring game on both teams. The 3rd goal had zero effort to prevent it.
Raymond was fine during the Olympics. Now it's an injury? What was it last March?
Here’s the real scary part to me. They weren’t that much better when healthy.
With the 14th pick the St. Louis Blues are proud to select…….
That will be a bitter pill to swallow.
Quit, any hype, even if you make the playoffs, you guy just ain’t good enough, so build me up buttercup, just to let me down!Injuries ,refs, blame them all, even if that was not the case, NOT ENOUGH TALENT!FACT!Oh yeah let’s not forget bad luck!Talent is not the RedWings Forte!
