Yzerman’s fucking everything up so we can feel good and end up with pick 15 at the draft and lose bertuzzi and other assets for nothing when we’re still rebuilding and nowhere near contention. Stupid
Why the fuck would the redwings add a depth piece lmao we already have a surplus of forwards and we shouldnt be dealing 2nds and 3rds for ufa’s … we have to sell players who aren’t coming back
I say don't base the decision on the playoffs. Base the decision on whether you improve the team. For a trade to happen Yzerman will have to be the clear winner.
stevie is building a contender!playoffs are a bonus for his club at this point!🤷♂️🤗👍
still hating on burt because he didn't get his vax. people should apologize to him for attacking him for not getting the jab. no way would i get rid of him. he will resign. he is the smartest and toughest guy on the team. mentally and physically.
Love the optimism from Matt! Our fan base needs more of that 👏🏼😅
First time everyone is healthy. Great leadership in Peron Larkin and Cheriot and Copp. They roll four lines and play the right way. They will themselves into the playoffs. First wild card! Yzerman looks for a backup goalie at the deadline.
Great show as always.
I’m going to make a prediction. Wings make the playoffs along with buffalo. I predict Florida and rangers fall off and tail spin.
I think yzerman makes 4 trades before the deadline.
I agree with Matt. Wings win the next 4 games.
Do absolutely nothing. Unless they slip then you have to move Bert, unless they are going to pay him.
Wings need to win against the Bolts, hope for a sweep of Sens on the road and find a way to beat Seattle before the deadline.
Justin Faulk or Torey Krug could be an option for our D at the deadline.
No, they won’t make playoffs.
