If anyone cares, Griffins play tonight. The AHL TV app is fairly cheap. You can pay by the game for 8 bucks. Can’t even buy a movie ticket that cheap these days
The team was tired last night and we might have lost regardless, but sending the previously effective lines from the Montreal game into the blender to include Bert on the top line didn’t feel like it helped our cause. Barring injuries or other reasons, I wish we would have scratched Sunny and subbed Bert, leaving everything else the same. The Montreal game felt like the first game in weeks where we had a legitimate offensive chemistry working on multiple lines.
Cossa with a great game last night! .946 in a 3-2 win!
Buchelnikov game starts in about 10 min

I was at a party last night. We played spin the bottle. It was me and 8 beautiful supermodels. I’m not sure how I ended up at the party but that doesn’t matter. Needless to say: I was nervous.
The first girl spun the bottle. It landed on another of the models. They frenched. It was passionate and deliberate. The bottle passed over to the most beautiful one in the circle. Her eyes burning with passion staring into mine. She spun it. It spun and spun and spun. It was slowing down and landed on… Me.
She crawls over to me smiling; those beautiful green eyes still locked onto mine. I can see her cleavage. Her auburn hair falls over her face. She brushes it aside as she leaned in towards me. She smiles, bites her lower lip and grabs my waist.
I did what any man would do in this situation. I abruptly stand up and yell “I love Kay Seider.” I take the bottle, smash a window open with it and jump out three stories to the ground. As I race down the street, blood pouring from my skull, I smile. I smile knowing I’m chasing the only person I care for. That person is Kay Seider.
Why does it feel like the Wings always get shut out the game immediately before or after a long break
Apparently I never canceled my HBO max subscription even though I’m pretty sure I did.
Only been paying on it for a month but it’s still annoying cause I didn’t use the subscription
Invested in some goose down/feather pillows and holy jumpin are they worth it.
I miss the days where you could just pop in a game and start playing.
My wife got me Halo Infinite for my Birthday and it took over a half hour to update and install
The joke of it was that after 10 minutes it said it was ready to start, it wasn’t, and when it was able to start the campaign wasn’t available till the game completely updated and installed.
Just in case anyone forgot 6 years ago Frans Nielsen was our All Star Game representative
Welp. Young team is inconsistent. Instead of any negatives, which I try to avoid, I’m going to enjoy Bergs, Veleno, Ras, Soda, Edvinsson and the rest of the future. I see a dump at the deadline and the new nucleus having some time to get acquainted. The Wings are first class.
Bertuzzi is kinda making himself un-tradeable which I guess some fans will like bc they won’t be able to move him but is a detriment to the club.
An interesting and fun story about “Small Nets in Chicago” circa 1963. Fucking Black Hawk cheaters!!!

This sub is so bipolar this year.
Well, I’m bored. It’s -11 outside and my house is torn up for work so I’ve got nothing to do. Anyway, I’m generally super lazy and don’t check on prospects at all so I went to eliteprospects to see what I would find (hoping to spot that elite scorer that we need!). I started reading and then taking notes and now well, I’ll just share this for anyone as lazy as me. Anyone playing with the wings already didn’t get included (looking at you bergers and soda – side note, think we need someone named “fries”) or anyone over 22. Also didn’t include any of our defensive prospects because that feels more like a sure thing than our offensive prospects.

**Albin Grewe RW/LW**

Played 15 games in the SHL in 18-19 as a 17/18 year old with no points. Played 19 games in the SHL in 19-20, 1 point. Played 39 games in SHL in 20-21, 6 points.

A bit up and down, still promise though. I need to check why he only played 11 games in the AHL. He reads like a defensive minded forward with pp specialty maybe.

I hate that clickbait shit on Facebook that makes an article out of a single quote, but there was one where Tocchet talked about Lemieux telling him they don’t dump the puck in Pittsburgh, they try to make a play. I wish we would think like that.
Rumors of Jack Hughes’s demise were greatly exaggerated.
