Surely we can beat the Sharks, right?

Dunno. And stop calling us Shirley!

I know we all hope Lalonde gets canned with a loss, but does anyone actually think it's gonna happen?

nope

Live look at Lalonde in the coaches room feeling the pressure before this game.

Fester is so stressed that his hair grew back!

 

[Gniwder]

Not gonna lie, that would be a huge douche move if he did.

If I got traded for being a douche, it's exactly what I would do, lol. I doubt he gets a chance to do it, Talbot will bail out Fester again despite the team getting outplayed by the worst team in the league.

Wings 3-1. Either Copp or Raz will pad stats with an EN goal, Talbot with 42 saves while Wings get 24 SOG. Fester looks at Copp's goal stats and promotes him to first line for a month, lol. 17 games into the season and the team has only 3 players with more than 3 goals, and one of them is Copp (2 EN, 2 deflections of his skate, and one deliberate tip in).

We are stuck with Lalonde until at least offseason imo

"Paleontology textbooks figure that sharks probably first evolved around 410 - 420 million years ago - sometime in the Late Ordovician or Early Devonian Periods. Red Wings fans figure their last relaxed and good feeling about their team was probably back on February 26 when Patrick Kane scored his storybook "Showtime" goal in the overtime period. In tonight's survival of the fittest struggle in LA, the Sharks will be above the water not below it, and Detroit will be below the playoff line not above it. Here's hoping that the next winning period for the visiting team isn't 400 million years in the future."

I looked at the standings and was a bit shocked as to how close we are to being the worst team in the entire league. 2 points!!!

No one has pulled away yet, 4 points the other way and we are 3rd in the division or wild card lol.

I still think uncle fester doesn’t get a plane ticket back with the rest of the team if they lose here tonight.

Nonetheless, still hoping for a positive result. Lots of games left this season, a win is much needed tonight.

Oh And don’t let that Walman do the gritty

 

[Spitfire11]

3-2 sharks

Walman w the OT winner and hits the gritty skating by the wings bench.

Book it.

This does sound like something destined to happen.

If the Wings wind up being sellers at the deadline then Fester will be canned and one of the assistants, most likely Tanguay, will finish the season. That's usually how it goes in the NHL. The GM needs a fall guy.
