Work vacation starts tomorrow. So naturally I get flu. Stoked
I stayed up late last night with snacks to root for the wings to get 6 in a row. I also drank about 8 beers and do not feel well. Cheers. We will get them next year guys.
Couldn’t wait to see last night’s game card. I watched the first half of the game and saw Chiarot do absolutely nothing useful. What do ya know, right at the bottom again!
Ok our winning streak ended. RELEASE THE VRANA!
Kind of bummed wings couldn’t get a point or two but I know that it’s so difficult to have long winning streaks in the NHL. They still have had an amazing road trip. I assume that, despite playing Tuesday in DC, they’re home right now, resting. Hopefully they bring the pain to the caps and start a new streak.
Maybe Tuesday we get both Vrana and Raymond?
Seattle is fast.

The West Coast trip was a huge success.
I was thinking we would be doing alright if we could win one of the back to backs.
We almost pulled off a sweep.
Most of our wild card competitors also lost last night. Which is nice.
Post game definitely worth a watch. Lot of interesting comments.

Man the boo birds really show up in force after a loss.
Was in the YouTube comments and there is a chuckle head talking about how we gotta blow the team up and our 5 game win streak is meaningless cause we only beat trash teams.
Also lots of talk about how we’re not a contender. Yeah no shit. We’re a team on the cusp of getting to the playoffs not a cup contender.

A bit of a slip for the Wings as the Sabres were able to temporarily pass them. Every other team in the hunt lost in regulation, so overall not a bad night. Huge game Tuesday at Washington, with a potential 4 point swing.
Does anyone have a clip of the scrum towards the end of last nights game? I can’t find it anywhere
Was the game last night really that bad?? I caught a good bit of the first period and the last ten minutes of the third and thought we were playing some of the better hockey I’ve seen us play.
My boy Filip “Grill em up” Zadina getting a nonzero amount of points. 👀
Who’s gonna get out to let Vrana play? Now that we lost or are we gonna go with the same lineup? I was thinking they were gonna ease him in on the fourth line if they do and he played with Zadina before and did pretty well. So maybe Zadina-Suter-Vrana? That way we have another potentially scoring line and mixed in with very good defense. What do you guys all think?
It hurts me to say this but…Seattles structure was simply better last night. Better breakouts and entries and more solid in the d zone. Then add in Chariot had a terrible game.
Winning 6 straight was unlikely but I didn’t think Seattle would outplay them like that.
The game also showed how important that it is that everyone does their job defensively. A few careless mistakes will cost you a game and guys have to be all in on doing the right things on every shift.
Honestly how do some people compare Kenny’s old beaten up teams that squeaked in to this young up and coming roster squeaking in? There’s a clear difference in the two situations. Obviously I wouldn’t expect this team to win the cup if they get in but the experience would be invaluable for these guys. It’s a step in the right direction that every young team has to take at some point. Just don’t get rooting against it and definitely no reason to blow team up and start over. Crazy talk. Go Wings
3 pts in 6 games after not playing for most of the season is a pretty good start for Zadina imo.
Just wanna remind anyone who got a cheap deal from the athletic around this time next year to check your subscription date. They just charged me the full 71.99 for another year’s worth of subscription with no heads up.
VRANA should play against Capitals it be the best return against his old team
Damn, the Rags are gearing up!
Got to be honest, I’m quite perplexed at the Vrana situation at this point. With each move, I look back on what’s happening and it all makes even less sense to me. I’m sure the team, and perhaps Vrana, have their reasons, but it’s just all feeling so strange.
Maybe the simplest answer is the right one, and he’s just not quite back up to NHL speed yet. Seems strange at this point, but I guess we’ll just have to run with that until we see him get some time.
This might be an unpopular opinion even here but I think we have our most important piece rn in Seider. Nothing wrong with having your dman be your best player. He’s an excellent franchise dman and good enough to be our best player for the next 18 years
I don’t think he’s even broken out yet, and he gets 2-3 less minutes a game than the best dmen in the league
