Detroit vs Carolina - March 14/2025

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Can this team ever win a puck battle in front of the other team's net like the other team's do constantly against us?
 
We gave them exactly what they needed to play their game by losing so badly at face offs. Would have reduced their possession time a lot starting play with the puck a little more.
 
Would have to get 23 out of 32 points left to hit 91. Not seeing it and don't even know if that would be enough.
we aren’t making it, our chances were doomed the second we lost that stadium series game in unfair fashion. There’s something wrong with the leadership on this team, they sulk and lose focus every single march. They are not strong mentally. You guys should be rooting the tank, we still have a chance to finish bottom 10.

And then get an 8th overall that may or may not pan out as a 3rd liner in 3 years. No, I'm not pulling for tanking, unless the plan is to deal out a majority of the team, including Larkin, and reset the rebuild for next season.

Well we aren’t making the playoffs so, if we had an actual chance at the playoffs I’d agree with you. I’d much rather have 9 than 14. Plus you actually get a chance to win the lottery, albeit small.
 
Well, back to needing 4+ a night with Mrazek in net. Last time he was here he was a damn near lock to allow 3+ every start. I really hate that we brought him back.
I thought he was our best player. That save 2 on 0 and PK kept us in the game. He gave us the chance to stay in the game and win.
Kane, Tarasenko, Raymond and Soderblom had the turnovers which led to the goal, scoring chances, giving them momentum.
Mclellan also made a mistake by his opening unit in the 2nd period and they scored.
It was an exciting game, but we had to score and push it to OT.

Ah, another Yzerbot.

“Fan” timeline? You mean the paying customers of this garbage product?

Keep drinking that Stevie bath water and thinking that everything will be gravy once all the McDavid-esque “kids” start playing.

You may not count the first three years, but that’s because you’re in the shrinking segment of the fan base that still wears their Stevie pajamas from 1998 and can’t differentiate from his playing career to his woefully underwhelming tenure in Detroit as GM. There is literally no other profession on earth where someone would get to say they shouldn’t be expected to deliver results for over half a decade.

No other GM named Yzerman would have gotten this long with the failure to deliver major changes - and no, “incremental improvement” isn’t good enough anymore.



Justin Holl, Ben Chiarot, Andrew Copp, and JT Compher all say hi.
Settle down. If u want a gm who blows his load and spends all his assets go cheer for the Canucks.

Why so desperate to get be jailbait in the playoffs? Lemme guess u wanted washed bums like Jonathan Marchessault and stamkos on those contracts.

It's okay he's not getting fired.

Seeing the big picture and understanding how long NHL rebuilds take is what constitutes being an Yzerbot. Yzerman’s seat is ice cold. Smart professional sports organizations don’t care what the fans think about how they run their team.

The TikTok, instant gratification culture has completely warped peoples’ sense of reality for what to expect in terms of timelines for rebuilding through the draft.
