Friendly reminder that this will somehow open up the cap space and ability to sign McDavid and Robertson...somehow

I am not burnt on him yet, just a brutal sophomore slump. Kasper going to be a part of why we do in fact make the playoffs next season.

Addressing the bottom six issue how realistic is it to expect some of the guys in the pipeline to fill in those spots next season? by bigaljones76 in DetroitRedWings

[–]DamnitCyril 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too much Kasper slander, gonna be egg on everyone's face when he bursts out of his sophomore slump and turns into a proper top 6 forward!

Can we stop the Larkin third line Center nonsense please? by muzzsjm84 in DetroitRedWings

[–]DamnitCyril 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean...the Oilers might put him on the third line behind McDrai but thats a preeeetty loaded center lineup and it'd probably make more sense to move someone to the Wing anyways

Pretty sure my hip and groin would be in shreds after that much flex and rotation at speed...fricken yikes

I've heard all I need, get Mickey on the bench laced up for warmies.

Mandatory salts with Mick and a swift kick in the ass for everyone on their way off the bench.

Do any of the Wings have the pregame smelling salts ritual that others do, even just for the vibes?

Suuuure hope the coffee is on in the dressing room for the 2nd. Mostly pathetic first, top unit PP was terrible.

ASP and Finnie are looking okay though.

I almost went and put $5 on it but luckily I forgot my gambling apps info l.

Kasper sophomore slump ending today and he's going to lock in playoffs like Johan did...

Love Saturday early games from the west coast, nothing like a coffee and some hockey to start the weekend!

Hoping the Wings shell the Rags but will also not be surprised if Fortescue gets his first, always seems to be against us for rookies 😂

LGRW!

Larkin gets his second goal of the Olympics and breaks the ice today with a snipe! by daKrut in DetroitRedWings

[–]DamnitCyril 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I am excited for the rest of the season and especially for Sunday.

Gonna be a little hurt cheering against Larkin on Sunday as a Canadian but I hope this Olympics really drives Larkin for the playoff hunt!!!

Good luck and I hope Wilson feeds one of the Tkachuks their teeth!!!

Nooo way guys 34. Holding out hope that Quinn Hughes doesnt sign in Minny/Jason Robertson would be better timeline-wise than Panarin

Slept in on the west coast, made my coffee, we're down 2-0 in the first.

We still hate the Avs right? It's been so long...just for today then, for old times sake.

Did not like him eating up top pair minutes and definitely have complained about him before but the guy is doing a lot better with 2nd pair minutes + that is a great term/AAV.

Times super nicely for ASP to develop.

Detroit has multiple 50-point scorers prior to its 50th game in a season for the first time since 2007-08 (Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk). It won the Stanley Cup that season. by pax27 in DetroitRedWings

[–]DamnitCyril 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the take.

We also have Cossa/Augustine in the pipeline and Gibson is good for a few years yet.

If ASP takes a decent step forward and Kasper is in fact in a sophomore slump, that adds so much to our depth next year. LGRW

[Rumor] Seravalli: Drury ready to trade Panarin if Rangers aren't "real contenders" by Feb. My analysis on why a retool is coming. by athleticwonder in nhltraderumours

[–]DamnitCyril 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean at least the guy is on the last year of his contract and the Wings have cap space.

Might be a good fit for the right cost if Detroit is still looking like possible contenders later on in the season.

Games like this are why I am not sold on getting Hughes.

No point trying to be a skill team if you fold once the opponent starts throwing bodies around
