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 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

I haven't watched the replay but looked like Holl, DeBrincat, Kane out against MacKinnon Nichuskin line.
Not exactly ideal.
A pylon would have had a better chance. Justin holl is atrocious
I know Colorado is the way better team, but wuu doesn't it look like the Red Wings are even trying?
Preseason intensity tonight which is absolutely ridiculous. I full on believe that the players themselves believe the season is over

Has Ras been on Larkin's line with Raymond for a while now? I haven't been able to see the last few games.
In theory i can see him digging the puck out, but plays regularly die on his stick.
Or was it just not a full line change?

Honestly games like this give us the exact data we need about the layers we need to address our team moving forward. The D around the net has been exhaustingly discussed, but what exacerbates that is that the team as a whole, from top to bottom is not fast enough to anticipate and win races to pucks, so we rarely get to dictate the paces. Is this against all teams? No, but is this an issue when facing the true top contenders? I’d say more often than not. Honestly I’m not even mad at what we’re watching now, because our team developmentally isn’t at the stage to CONSISTENTLY face teams like Colorado when things get tight such as toward the end of the season. But make no mistake, if Yzerman doesn’t address this moving forward over the next 2-3 years then there is something wrong.
Forwards are cheating on the breakout they need to hang back and give the defense options clean that up and then try to figure out the forecheck

we're only down by one, and we're not being ran out of the building. Honestly, I'd be thrilled with a point tonight.
I guess maybe I should lower my already ridiculously low expectations?
Besides the last couple minutes, that did not look like a desperate team. Larkin and Raymond continue to be absolutely invisible. I understand good players won't get 2 points every game, but at least try to look noticeable. Larkin is just out for a skate again
Raymond is either injured or exhausted because he looks horrible, and has been bad for a while now

It seems like it's been forever since I've seen a game with the regular crew.
And now an intermission report about the tigers?
