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.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
We are a very soft team guys lol
I wish I could be making $5 million a year to do absolutely nothing like Compher. Another great signing.
missing POs sux obv but only for about 2 weeks until 1st round of POs over.
In that case our powerplay at least needs to start being our enforcer then
Rangers are playing Columbus tomorrow so Wings guaranteed to be 4 pts out of the last wild card spot with two teams ahead of them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
And he still finds a way to allow 3GA. He can make some spectacular saves but gonna give up 3.
Unrelated criticism
Mo still having those moments where he looks like a bubble hockey figure. Just spinning around and watching the play around him.
It sucks because this was a rare year where making the playoffs was easier as all the teams in the wildcard race were lackluster. The playoffs were there for the taking and they choked it away.
Something tells me that if we're wondering why we're not in the playoffs, those first three months under Lalonde probably has more to do with it than anything else.
This is a good statement.
Though the team going 1-7 in the past 8 games does not help either.
Some guys are looking pretty checked out again. This team needs an emotional leader. David Perron was that last year for them, another vocal guy in the room to help lift the moral. But at the end of the day, if the core group just doesn’t have it in them, then that’s a different story.
Lots of young promising prospects on the way, but this season was supposed to be extended into the post season otherwise it was a failure. So far we are on track for that failure.
You can argue individually we were able to watch Kasper flourish and became a solid NHL player with some offensive upside to be tapped into. Big Ed and AlJo are fine top 4 NHLers too.
Overall team success is important though, the other young prospects aren’t going to come in with super star/generational talent, they will require proper mentorship from veteran players to show them the ropes.
Does that mean we are waiting another 3-4 years to make the playoffs?
Nobody wants to join a losing team in free agency unless it’s for a severe overpay, or unless they are from the state of Michigan.
Not to be a Debby downer, but unless this team goes on one hell of a run, this season is panning out to be an overall disappointment and this offseason will be a crucial one for Yzerman before everyone starts turning their pitch forks towards him.
