If the rumors of an outdoor game are true. I might have to spend some serious money to get a seat I can actually see the play from.
Either that or spend crazy money for a limited edition jersey and watch from home.
Looking at the schedule to the trade deadline, I can realistically see us going 6-4 during the stretch give or take an OT. I think we either gotta win tonight, or at least split with Colorado to keep our position until the 8th. If we can beat Florida too that would be helpful.
I wish I felt more confident about tonight. I also wish the game didn’t start at 10 pm. Jeebus…
I’ll be in bed by the first intermission. It’s wild that we were in the Western Conference for so long. As a kid, I did love staying up until 1-2am though.
I’m def going to the game at the shoe as long as tickets arent like outrageous

Love the Wings but a 3 AM start time is not the vibe guys, see y’all for the Calgary game, 🐙LGRW🐙
Let’s bounce back tonight! LGRW
In the meantime, updated with today’s reveal of Winnipeg at 16th in [Scott Wheeler’s Prospect Pool](https://theathletic.com/5040065/2024/01/30/nhl-prospect-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article) countdown. Maybe I’ll flip the order tomorrow so new entries appear at the beginning instead of end of post.
Still no sniff of Detroit :). List continues in two tiers for now, with the Sens Shit Tier in the inline replies along with Wheeler’s criteria.
***Per Scott, this is a tier of teams that are more or less jumbled around League average. Unlike the Senators, who are just unfathomably worse.***
#Tier: Rise and Fall
*Mostly ships passing in the night, heading in opposite directions up and down the standings. Or at least, that’s what’s starting to happen, but this description may change as the standings are revealed.*
* **24. [Florida Panthers](https://theathletic.com/5214492/2024/02/07/panthers-nhl-prospect-pool-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article)**: Not a lot of top and talent here though, and Spencer Knight is back in the mix.
* **23. [Vegas Golden Knights](https://theathletic.com/5214501/2024/02/08/golden-knights-nhl-prospect-pool-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article)**: No high end talent and missing RHD, but better than most recent champions. Had a bunch of maybes at goal, too.
* **22. [New Jersey Devils](https://theathletic.com/5235251/2024/02/09/devils-nhl-prospect-pool-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article)**: Bunch of Meh, except that this still includes Nemec, so barring a miracle they’re really falling. Should be lower but c’est la vie. This is what happens when tons of elite talent makes the jump.
* **21. [Dallas Stars](https://theathletic.com/5239029/2024/02/10/stars-nhl-prospect-pool-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article)**: Stankoven is near elite at the top. Borque a talented 2nd in line. Takes from there since Johnson made the jump, but a respectable pool for aSC contender.
* **20. [Washington Capitals](https://theathletic.com/5242141/2024/02/11/capitals-nhl-prospect-pool-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article)**: Dangerous combo of mediocre NHL team and Pool. Everyone Loves Leonard, except apparently me. Mirorchsnrines ichneoichencko will play NHL minutes. Your guess is as good. As any after that. This team may be in for a painful rebuild.
* **19. [New York Rangers](https://theathletic.com/5252641/2024/02/12/rangers-nhl-prospect-pool-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article)**: Strangely high number of LWs and youve got to go 7 deep before finding defense. But at the top, Gabe Perreault continues his quest to prove at least 20+ teams in the league were fools to not draft him.
* **18. [Vancouver Canucks](https://theathletic.com/5247687/2024/02/13/canucks-nhl-prospect-pool-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article)**: Decent strides and some top talent (Lekkerimaki and Willander). Overall pool that mostly moved up from last year bc of a good draft and good development. For me, its still weird to see Raty – at one brief point in early discussion for #1OA in his draft – mentioned as a tertiary NHL’r.
* **17. [Los Angeles Kings](https://theathletic.com/5254687/2024/02/14/kings-nhl-prospect-pool-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article)**: Despite that their performance last night made our EDM game look like a W, they have a decent prospect pool. It’s mostly average but Brandt Clarke is bordering on elite at the top.
* **16. [Winnipeg Jets](https://theathletic.com/5258194/2024/02/15/jets-nhl-prospect-pool-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article)**: Really solid top end (McGroarty, Lambert, Barlow, Lucius, Heinola, etc) but not much after that. For me, I’ll take 5+ high grade prospects over a pool of depth. Decent showing.
Check the replies for an Ottawa-fueled laugh.
Getting a second win over Vancouver woule be huge and a great way to bounce back. LGRW.
Last night I suffered one of the worst heartbreaking moments of my life. My niece told me that she was now a Blackhawks fan because she has a crush on Connor Bedard. All those years of dressing her up in mini Red Wings jerseys, for nothing. I feel betrayed 🙁
See ya at the game friends! LGRWs
Bro imagine if the Wings could bounce back after a rough game against the best team in the NHL on their ice. Just imagine.

Who is staying up?
Anyone going to the PWHL game this weekend at LCA?
Heading to a job interview, and suddenly I’m nervous. Any good thoughts appreciated!
So, with Husso being hurt yet again. Do you think Stevie will be trying to acquire a Goalie at the deadline?
I’d personally love Saros, Saros/Lyon would make a decent playoff tandem. Saros is young enough where we’d have him for a while and then we’d have a Saros/Cossa(Augustine) tandem going into the future.
Reimer, Kasper and a 2025 1st?
They have Askarov coming up soon too.
Because of octomod I have to do math every time I read what time the game is on
