Re: Think you can win with depth vs stars?

If Detroit has six stars then we're at a pretty large disagreement on the meaning of the word "star". So according to this guy, the 2024 Wings had 6 true stars, the 2002 Wings had 7? I am having some doubts. I wonder how many times the Cup winning team got a true star season out of a goal...

Re: New Forum Layout

Ad-free hockey banter that is good natured and intelligent is what I am after. And the interface seems to work fine so I am good. I will miss the old Matt Wuest inspired design, but I reckon it was getting hard to maintain.

Re: So? What's the goal next year? Finish 17th again? Pick 15th? Fuck the Rebuild Again?

In the end Lyon was over-played, and actually Reimer was under-played. Reimer was not that good in the beginning of the season, but got better in the new year, and kinda the opposite happened to Lyon when he dived in late Feb. and March. Husso was never very good. Maybe he goes LTIR next year???? W...

Re: Traverse City Prospects Tournament Reduced to 2 Teams, 2 Games

The Tournament was probably a victim of its own success, unfortunately. Other tournaments have sprung up, and training has gotten much more specialized now that clubs have realized how much hay you can make in the Summer. One of Ken Holland's 2 great contributions to hockey, the other being cap circ...

Re: Patrick Kane doesn't sound like someone coming back

I really enjoyed having him on the team, hopefully the other forwards were taking notes.

But he plays no defense, and who knows how long he'll be out the next time he fall down go boom?

We can always trade for him at the deadline if he signs with Buffalo.

Re: So? What's the goal next year? Finish 17th again? Pick 15th? Fuck the Rebuild Again?

Oh my God with the semantics. Ed is a keeper. Yzerman has done a real good job in the first round, mince it however you want. There's plenty of other areas he needs to improve if you want to harp. Maybe he's a keeper. Or maybe he just never lives up to expectations and is traded around the league l...
