Patrick Swayze's tops them both.

Shatner looms over them all.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

It all started with the garbage patch

Purgatory is a priority

 

[schuelma24]

Then Stevie needs to learn how the salary cap works. This team is up against it.

That's not good for a tanking team.

?

Wings don't have cap problems. All these plugs are temporary.

Call him and tell him.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

If this isn't enough to get Lalonde fired, I'm convinced Stevie has embraced the tank fully.

If he's actually intending to tank in year 6 of his tenure, then his job security needs to be in question.

 

[theYman]

5 goals on 17 shots? What a buncha clowns. Unbelievable

 

[dalem177]

So you can blatantly hold onto Ras around the boards for about 8 furlongs and FORCE the refs to notice?

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Wings don't have cap problems. All these plugs are temporary.

Yes, two more years of Copp and three more years of Compher. Yay.

Abelkader and Nielsen's deals weren't lifetime contracts, they were temporary too.

 

[schuelma24]

They have a lot of space starting next year. I continued to be baffled by this complaint, out of all the other valid ones that exist..

Always next year with this team.

 

[schuelma24]

I fully expected the defense to be a disaster without Ed, but I thought they might be able to muster more offense than Joey Veleno against this team.

 

[Filppula]

What an embarrassment of a PP.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

It all started with the garbage patch

Actually, yes. Can someone pull up their record since the patch?

 

[dalem177]

What an embarrassment of a PP.

That's a PP?

 

[cvaicunas]

Yes, two more years of Copp and three more years of Compher. Yay.

Abelkader and Nielsen's deals weren't lifetime contracts, they were temporary too.

Aren't they still paying Abs buyout? There are many lifetimes shorter than that contract

That's a PP?

At this point, your sarcasm may be the only thing keeping me invested in tonight's game. Soooooo you gonna hand in some of these GDT plausible keats into the big boss and grab that tv opening next season or what

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Isn't roster construction part of a GMs job?

Signing bad players to bad contacts regardless of cap implications is still bad roster construction...theirs no hall pass given..ever

 

[GMR]

Wings don't have cap problems. All these plugs are temporary.

They're not long-term contracts but it's embarrassing that a team with a high salary is this bad. He's overpaid a bunch of washed up journeymen.

Yes, two more years of Copp and three more years of Compher. Yay.

Abelkader and Nielsen's deals weren't lifetime contracts, they were temporary too.

I forgot Copp was still for several more years. Maybe my memory wants it to be only an additional season.

 

[minimal]

It's not our money, what does it matter.

 

[RedHawkDown]

It's not our money, what does it matter.

It speaks to bad cap management. That matters.

 

[GMR]

Call him and tell him.

I don't have his phone number.

I'm not his weed dealer.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

i haven't gone to LCA in several years and I will not return until playoffs

 

[OneMoreTry]

Honestly - how could you not fire Lalonde now?

-----------

Regarding the previous discussion about Larkin around here, how he looks, no smiles etc, - that pregame-video about the players going to the store with the kids, the interview he gave there.. looked almost depressed to me. Made me think about him and his wife losing their unborn child..

 

[GMR]

If Fedorov isn’t our new coach by January 1, Yzerman needs to explain himself.

 

[Go Wings]

That’s it the last straw this team has shown who it is over and over again

Imagine how dumb we’d feel right now if we traded for Trouba

If that's true then why are you still watching?
