1984Echoes

Too early in the season to worry about that... The starters will all get stretched out to 7-ish innings, pending actual in-game performances, over the next few weeks. In Detroit, at Toledo, and don't forget at Erie too. Wilmer Flores/Ty Madden may be our #6/7th starters before too long...

Wings performed their duties, like troopers... Losing 6-1. Washington wins tonight against the Islanders 5-2. Wings are required to lose their last two games on the road against Tampa & Carolina... Capitals & Canucks are required to each get 2 points total in their last two games... And all will be well...

I'll take Hendon Hooker for $500 please...

Needs to be renamed Draft Positioning Night (Hope you Fans are good with that ToNight...) Losing 5-0 in the 2nd... Wings have two really tough games to close out the season, on the road... Vancouver has two winnable games to close, and Washington has two difficult games to close but their last game is home against NJ so maybe they can eek out a win. If the Wings play their cards right... they may be able to slip into the 8th draft spot pre-lottery...

I'm just throwing **** against the wall...

Is it just the change in weather? Cold-starting the engine doesn't seem to work with these guys...

PUTIN's OFFICIAL CHEERLEADER is speaking again, I believe...

Thank Odin!!!

You know MAGA has RT hot feeds, right? They're following their Dear Leader's... lead? Or do we call that leading from the gutter...?

It's from a Ukraine: Latest podcast but summarized by the Telegraph here: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/%2Fnews%2F2022%2F03%2F02%2Frussia-ukraine-war-listen-daily-podcast%2F

On this (quoted): America's claim to "moral authority", such as it is... Is based on our never-ending push for universal human rights, freedoms and democracy across the world. And also our massive economy in which we spend a portion of it to assist 3rd world countries and other countries in need, around the world. Do we have a great track record? No. Should we look in the mirror at our own actions within this country? Absolutely yes. But I also don't believe our moral authority is nothing.

I don't know of too many people here that actually care about "international prestige". "All I want for Christmas is a Constitutional Democracy..." Please, Santa.

Mostly Trump's fault. Of course it is.

"Defense Editor Danielle Sheridan calls in live from the Donbas where she has been speaking with Ukrainian soldiers. She proffers some fascinating insights into the mentality of the fighters. Specifically:

Ditto.

That would sink this country into a fascist cesspool immediately. I guess that's what those brainless Benedict Arnold (to the Constitution of the U.S.) MF'ers want...

They've looked at a lot of 2nd/3rd round type LB'ers... I believe they've also interviewed Simpson, Henley and Overshown, 3 guys that I really like... Just a guess... but they look like they are "seriously" looking at the LB'er position with a definite interest in drafting one in the 2nd or 3rd round...

Wings still garnering points though ("the Bane of Buddha") with a 7-6 shootout loss. Currently in the 11th draft spot with 1 point either way sending them up or down a spot. 4 games to go.

Insanity! (the good kind...)

From a talent perspective I wouldn't do that... But from a team perspective... That may be exactly what Holmes/ DC/ AG decide to do...

I think it's Aaron Glenn that has a huge thing for Witherspoon... he's on record as such I believe...

Brendan White seems to be the best early candidate (IMO) to bring up if they make quick work of Cisnero. Not opposed to moving on from Cisnero at all... Churn Baby Churn!

I'm hoping closer to 250 or less...

I think those 3 listed guys will push themselves to AAA before too long... Flores, Hurter and Madden.

Good, bones heal. Hopefully there are no after-effects to that...
