When your best player is a sub PPG center who can’t even score as much as Trocheck, you can’t expect to be a playoff team.

What? Who on the Sens and Sabres is much better than Larkin?The scary thing is all those teams have players much better than our best player.
Those teams should all be better next season.
I’d drive Compher to the airport.Larkin
Raymond
Kane
Debrincat (being nice)
Seider
Edvinsson
Compher
Walman (when he's on)
Literally EVERYONE ELSE CAN GO!
Wings in no man's land as I anticipated. Worst position a franchise can find itself in, but at least some of the more excitable fans got into it at various points of the season and bought tickets and merch, so ownership might be happy anyway.
But you can see their balls to distract you from the corporate shilling.Oh the tigers have a meijer ad on their jersey? Nice.
Right now I’d rather have Stutzle, Dahlin, and Tkachuk. They’re having off years but all are younger than Larkin and had peak seasons last year that he’s yet to have.What? Who on the Sens and Sabres is much better than Larkin?
Where do we get talent? None of the players we drafted is a top 3 pick.When your best player is a sub PPG center who can’t even score as much as Trocheck, you can’t expect to be a playoff team.
Don't they have several top 3 picks?What? Who on the Sens and Sabres is much better than Larkin?
That is correct. However isn't it a necessary pitstop?Wings in no man's land as I anticipated. Worst position a franchise can find itself in, but at least some of the more excitable fans got into it at various points of the season and bought tickets and merch, so ownership might be happy anyway.
Drafting isn't the only way to get top talent.Where do we get talent? None of the players we drafted is a top 3 pick.
Uh huh. I'm not even a super Petry hater, but I'm getting tired of this shit. I swear if they sit Edvinsson when/if Walman ever comes back from his case of griddylock. I'm gonna... Complain more!
It's more of the "It happens" Whoopsie daisy! Ras was beat before the red line, Mo goes and pressures, Petry points at the other guy like hey take him to his imaginary friend and continues to look clueless on what to do.It was Rasmussen's guy. Petry was waving Ras over to cover that guy but for some reason he didn't. I don't understand why you're angry at Petry for this.
Because Petry, like Chiarot or Ericsson before both of them is the approved punching bag and any mistakes that any player makes can be attributed to them, whether they did anything wrong or not.It was Rasmussen's guy. Petry was waving Ras over to cover that guy but for some reason he didn't. I don't understand why you're angry at Petry for this.
Lalonde’s post game presser is just brutal
Excuse excuse excuse

I'll concede they are all at fault, but the fact is still that Jeff Petry is not a great defender and I've had my fill of watching these so called stabilizing veteran defenders.
The team is climbing out of the basement of the league. It was always going to be a long rebuild, and this is the first season the team may finish in the middle of the pack. It's still a season of progress, even with the tease of a playoff spot slipping away.Wings in no man's land as I anticipated. Worst position a franchise can find itself in, but at least some of the more excitable fans got into it at various points of the season and bought tickets and merch, so ownership might be happy anyway.
Petry shouldn't be on this team next year but he will. If they slot him in the third pair where he belongs it should help alleviate somethings. But he will be a year older and most likely worse.Petry is a player at the end of his career that also happens to be a better Dman than a majority of the plugs that had been on the Wings' D the previous few seasons AND he wont be here much longer. He is what he is.
Rasmussen is a 24-yo, newly signed to a 4-year extension, player who, if you squint really hard and put faith in made-up analytics, has a ceiling where a playoff team MIGHT be able to find a use for him in the bottom 6. He is a black hole that has been mostly invisible, if not detrimental, since signing his extension in the midst of a playoff race.
I missed the full game. Was he centering Kane and Cat again?I’d drive Compher to the airport.
Was brutal tonight. Again.

I presume the lines stayed identical minus the fact that we had 7D for some odd reason
Brady Tkachuk isn't his brother, Dahlin nahRight now I’d rather have Stutzle, Dahlin, and Tkachuk. They’re having off years but all are younger than Larkin and had peak seasons last year that he’s yet to have.
