Watching a Muppet Christmas Carol on this fine Christmas Eve, as god intended & also asked Santa Claus for the Red Wings to get a new 3rd pairing on the blue line. Let’s see how it goes.

That JVR pass was absolutely absurd. #LGRW

From our friend @mbultman.bsky.social … This is why I incessantly complained last year under LaLonde. The team is obviously better than what the results said. Now, keep pushing.

Just had my 30 point lead for a ticket to best ball finals erased in an instant by Hunter & Derrick Henry. I hate fantasy football and in a just world, it is outlawed by next season.

Is that good, Mo & Ed? Seems good.

Ok, Glue Man, that was nasty

Yep. Strong period, didn’t take advantage, will likely come back and bite them. Boring script.

Red Wings are first place in the Atlantic and 7 points away from being last in the Eastern Conference and two teams just added last night.

University of Michigan has embarrassed yet again. At least hockey & basketball are good.

Ok, maybe I don’t want DeBoer?

Hello to my BlueSky friends… my dear friend @kmc8.bsky.social has established a GoFundMe for a friend that tragically lost his dog and his apartment in a fire last Saturday. I know it’s right near the holidays and the economy sucks, but any help/shares are greatly appreciated. gofund.me/1509bd1c8

One of these days I will wake up and not be congested. Today is not that day, but a man can dream.

Honestly not going to over-react to this one. No 88 hurts the power play, back to back after coming home from a long west coast road trip, Talbot has been shook for a bit. Looked out of gas and I get it. Might be time to give Cossa a look at backup Tendy tho.

Blah.

Once again the Red Wings are being shutout by Karel Vejmelka, the goalie for the Utah Mammoth who has a shutout tonight which means no goals against

Didn’t take too long, but we’re back to “Michael Rasmussen, what would you say you do here?”

Big old stink tonight.

This power play is nowhere near as good without 88.

Hilarious bit that the two starting goalies in this game were just traded for each other and proceeded to give up 9 combined goals and Edmonton kicked in an empty netter lol.

I have excellent news. The Wings don’t have to play the Islanders again this regular season.

Holy Moses that was a weak tripping call lol

You’re welcome, btw

Very interesting read here. Let’s say the Wings *would* include Edvinsson - would the Canucks have even said yes with the package they got from Minnesota? Fun to theorize. But make no mistake, I do side with the “they need to make a move”/be bold side of the argument.

Also not going to help when blind refs call hooks on simple stick lifts

Not a bad effort tonight, but they’re getting Sorokin’d & as a goalie whisperer, can assure you they aren’t getting one past him tonight. He’s zoned.

St. Louis claims Berggren #LGRW

Here’s a good idea: shut the fuck up.

Fun (horrifying) fact - in Ken Holland’s last five (5!!!) NHL drafts for the #LGRW, only Dylan Larkin & Michael Rasmussen remain Red Wings after Berggren got waived today. Out of 41 picks. With Berggren being waived, only 4 of those 41 picks remain in the NHL period (Larkin, Ras, Hronek, Veleno)

The 2018 #LGRW draft class that has prolonged the misery. Quinn Hughes one pick after Zadina. Alex Romanov, Ryan McLeod, Jack Drury, Kirill Marchenko, Sean Durzi all taken within 22 picks of Veleno and all after the Burger/McIsaac selections, too.

Berggren on waivers. #LGRW

The worst defense I have ever seen.

3 plays, first and goal.

Defense got lucky on the Hutch interception, tbh, and have been absolutely pantsed by McVay & co. on everything else

Second clean card for Gibson in his past 3 games and a 5 game Gibby win streak. What an outstanding road trip. #LGRW

Did I show you folks the ice rink I built?

The Cat-Copp-Kane line has been just white hot for a while now. Unbelievable.

I traded Aiyuk & the 2nd overall pick for JSN & the 6th overall pick this summer in my dynasty league, so I’d suggest the 49ers look at a deal like that.

I am supremely bummed Quinn went to the Wild and the matching package would have been a tough pill to swallow, but you justify it. Still though, what Vancouver got from Minnesota is: Edvinsson Kasper OR Danielson Finnie/Lombardi/Mazur maybe even MBN 2026 unprotected 1st Rd pick Huge haul.

Nothing linking them right now & not saying it would happen, but worth noting Wings tried to get him this offseason before he was shipped to Seattle. #LGRW
