The thumbnail is going haunt my dreams😂
What if it does keep going like it is though……..
The jersey choice is excellent! I live in the TriStar state and was at that ASG! It was almost as good as the winter classic at the big house!!!!
Larkin has never been a pure scorer – he creates a LOT of offense , Debrincat is a pure goal scorer – so IMO they compliment each other very very well . Larkin is a 30 goal guy – but he can be a 60-70 assist guy with a finisher like that – I expect them both to have career years – obviously given their start that doesn't seem like a stretch – as the season goes on – teams will start to work to take away their strengths so it will get harder but It looks like they both have the skills to adjust . this is so much better than the teams that we have had to watch the last decade
The insane chemistry between Larkin, Raymond, and DeBrincat tho!! Would we even want a twilight Kane? I'm on the fence, for sure… and i can't believe I'm saying that!!
Brady is growing on me as a captain dudes fun to watch… seeing him toss rass blew my mind. Id say hes my second fav behind stu. Gg sens
AYYYYYY the Oakland County episode 248!
The sens fans give Detroit so much credit with their hate…..Go on and make Detroit Great again….😂
No offense, but you guys dont look like you're old enough to have watched the wings from 92-08 when they dominated, trust me, this is the formula: build your prospects, sign some veterans, get a legit coach, and sign your captain long term, stevie is this generations scotty Bowman, they are the real deal as a team. Scoring from lines 1-4, they are dangerous, pp1 and pp2 is elite, and the NHL is crying right now, because they tried their hardest to keep Detroit from getting to this point again by putting in a lottery when they hit rock bottom and mysteriously Detroit gets no top 3 draft picks, but they're on the cusp of being dominant again. NHL analists can keep doubting them, I've seen 4 cups, the passing of the torch is complete yzerman-lidsteom-zetterberg-larkin, 3 years and they win another cup, bank it.
I agree on some things you said and other things I think were taken out of context. Especially the Tkachuk comment. What I got from that comment was "the Wings showed up, we didn't, and we've got to be better next time we play them". And with our cap situation, we've locked our core into some great contracts before they broke out (ex: Stutzle wouldve easily been over $9M if he wasn't signed two summers ago), however I can agree Dorion is a dumbass and at the very least shouldve contacted Pinto's agent before signing Tarasenko. And I dont think having Zub wouldve won the game for us, but he is a big piece for our defense core, and it would've changed a ton of things. But I'm here to give my thoughts, no need to come and attack me, and I'm here for a good season.
It's amazing how good Holl looks when you aren't asking him to play first line minutes. That is Toronto's problem, always asking too much of players.
