Gawd damn Alex Nylander has 8 goals and 3 assists in 11 games this year with the jackets and is a +6. He's got over 1/3 of his nhl career goals in those 11 games.

kind've sad that initially when i didn't know the cause of death, i assumed suicide because he had died so young and he was a former enforcer. so i sure wasn't surprised to hear that was the case, likely some others here weren't surprised either. he was diagnosed with CTE some time ago according to this article from 2017 and was in some financial despair as well. EDIT: I should correct myself. It was only suspected at that point he had CTE because apparently they cannot say for sure you have it until after you die and can examine the brain. nationalpost.com/sports/hockey/nhl/my-situation-is-bleak-ex-nhl-enforcer-chris-simon-files-for-bankruptcy

The Russian former player committed suicide it says in the article. He was only 42.

The family recognizes ETC as the cause - wonder if that is code for a Dave Duerson type decision, or if ETC is contributing to circulatory/heart/stroke type consequences. Given his relative youth, I’m guessing he only saw one way out of the suffering. I would not even for a minute to know how ETC affects the mind. I hope he is at peace.

I know many may have a distaste for everything red wings. But I do enjoy Ken and Mickey. There’s not much left to the old guard. So enjoy them while they’re here. I hope Kaner comes close to 1300 this year. He’s at 1275. I believe Modano is at 1374. I doubt he gets 100 points next year. So every point this year chips away at it. If he needed 85. I think he could do it next year!!!

The Mick I can listen to all day, though. back when I lived in the area and listened to Drew and Mike in the morning, he would pop in every couple weeks and always had some good stories. he is for sure a homer during the wangs broadcast, but nothing wrong with that on the local broadcast, imo.

How many wins is that with the Trash Patch now, 3?
Pretty conflicted about Kane breaking Modano's record. I can't actively root for that currently because that would mean rooting for Detroit. So fuck that, lol.

I think he could do it next year!!! The team was on a two month HEATER before their recent tailspin,but they've dug-out a few tough W's lately and Larkin should be back by or after the weekend. As impactful as Kane and D-Cat can be,this Larkin guy stirs the drink! Scores goals,excllent passer,superb two-way game,wins 55% of his draws now and really proves the impact of a true #1 center........where's mvr? Even his absence shouldn't have led to the drastic drop-off in team play,they REALLY need a quality 2LC.....Detroit's next six best forwards are all wings. Raymond's having a stellar 3rd year @21,70pts looks like a lock and he has a shot at 30gls. Maybe 'Stevie Y' coulda done a little sumthin,sumthin at the TDL like most of the Wings competitors did too,a few of the Detroit writers thought their back-end needed some toughness and Dumba coulda brought that,good defensively too but TB got him for a F'n 7th! Twenty one minutes plus for Kaner Tuesday night.

So fuck that, lol. lol, yeah I've been seeing wangs fans bitching about that thing for weeks now. they were on a roll and the patch clearly is the reason they started losing again...😄 I'm gonna hope that 88 goes elsewhere this offseason and gets the record, but we will see. I won't be shocked if he stays in detroit. plus, even if he does break the record there, the vast amount of the points will have come in a Blackhawks sweater...

I have hilariously argued with a couple wangs fans about him recently, though, as they complained he was too fragile and they needed a new captain 🙄. the natives are getting restless, it seems. they can't take another season of no playoffs. I wonder how long it takes for that to happen here?

I wonder how long it takes for that to happen here? The ONLY knock on Larkin IMO is the injury issue,but looking at his career stats,it's way over-blown. His eight full seasons so far have included 4 at 80gms plus and seven were 71 or better,one was the Covid shortened season. This season would be his least number of games played due to a few different injuries.......68gms if he skates the remaining 12,hardly fragile. He's serious as hell and as humble as can be and he potted two last night in his 'ahead of schedule' return. Perfect captain material........that is a hilarious argument! The Wangs are looking at an uber-tough five game trip here before they come home to face the Rags,so it'll be earned if they get there. If they can dig 12pts outta the last 12gms,it'll put em @90.......is that enough?

I wonder how long it takes for that to happen here? I would say it's already started here Some of us suggest ways to expedite the rebuild a bit by acquiring a few good,young players and a few like Brock Faber and Owen Tippett are traded every year,but I don't think anyone(including me)expects a PO team for at least another two years. This will be the 3rd consecutive bottom-feeding season,but even skeptical fans like me realize why and there's been almost no criticism from the media either for the same reason. The UC's full and Bedard's jersey's the league's top seller,the fan base will remain patient IMO. It's also a massive sweet spot for 'Prince Daniel',the UC should remain full with Bedard,and with merchandise sales to kill for,w/o having to spend anywhere near the cap for a few more years.

If the Caps end-up in a spot,Carbery's gotta be the favorite for the 'Jack Adams',the team lost Backstrom for the year,'Kuz' for most of it and did nothing at the TDL. They hold the last WC spot and are ahead of Phily on PT% for 3rd in the Met,Ovi's resurgence helps a LOT. He had to be dealing with a physical issue in the first half,EIGHT goals in his first 42gms is now a lock for 30 and he's physical again too. They also have a handful of young forwards who are starting to play well.

7th rounder in 2015. 27years old. looking at his stats you got to go back 6 years where he had a season with a save percentage under .900%. might be interesting to watch this guy's career. he'd be just about guaranteed a win if they played him against us tomorrow but that might be too soon and besides that, philly really needs the wins and i doubt they'd chance it...but philly's goalies ain't great so who knows? at 6'8", he's an inch clear of mads sogaard (sens), mikko koskinen and ben bishop who were the tallest goalies previously.
EDIT: apparently he shrunk in the wash.

Rempe hit last game with Devils The Siegenthaler suspension? Should have been suspended after the Bastien hit as well. Rempe is a sideshow clown. As if they Rags weren’t easy enough to hate before.
