No fart, no like. #shame #vasifartsky
Bro really bleeped a fart. Yikes.
Lmao what was that analysis on the Wings being frauds? She said a bunch of things that don’t even make sense. DeBrincat has 10 points in his last 10, they have one of the deepest forward groups in the league, top 2 in goals for, and if anything, their “team defense” hasn’t been great. Complete opposite of what she just said. +20 differential with a difficult schedule to start the year. Don’t think you can really look into her generalized statements or whatever data she’s looking at.
I kind of wanted her to go into the data that says the Wings are a fraud. Debrincat has been cold for a while now, we’re getting all of our scoring from up and down the lineup. I’m not saying the Wings will make the playoffs, just wish she would have actually elaborated.
I cant wait until we get a Jake Walman fortnite skin
So its true espn hates detroit because everything they said was not true in the slightest.
I’m convinced every “Analyst” associated with the NHL is so dumb. Penguins a wagon? Lady, are you on crack, Karlsson is not a hall of famer at his current position, how can you be considered a HOF defenseman when you are literally dog💩 at playing defense. Disliking for Rachels dog💩 analysis. As a Wings Fan i love Walman and is glad he is getting the respect he deserves
I agree with the team defense thing, but kind of awkward how she said the Red wings are “fraud” because of offense. Currently they’re the highest scoring team in the eastern conference… Very large generalizations with most of these predictions as well.
I'm just gonna keep it real.. you gotta have next level $wag to even TRY to attempt the griddy on ice let alone make it look smooth AF😅..
Last I checked, goal differential tells the most likely of stories…. What “data” is she looking at???? Would it be nice to see a complete 60 minute game? Sure. But damn….
