Damn...! But I'll take the point. Should have been a few more shots taken on that 5 on 3 but we score nil so... OT.

If we get a point out of this game I would feel grateful... And Sundqvist SCORES AGAIN!!! 4-4 tie, 7 min's left...

Awesome! Not giving up... Sundqvist scores!!!

Which is playing out on the ice right now as we speak... Losing 4-2 now though after the Perron goal...

Because I don't have a lot of confidence in Hellberg's 3 NHL starts/ 6 total NHL games in the past 9 years either...

Can we get back any value from Ned? I would think he's at his lowest value right now. I still believe he can play better than this... but can we get better play, right now, from Hellberg or any other backup goalie?

He got back on the ice to skate around... looks ok but I'll bet he's got a nice little bruise and a lot of soreness where he got hit with the puck...

I don't think the first goal was terrible... it was close to point blank and the defense was beat on the short-handed as much as anything... But that second goal... so weak...

This is the correct response.

I don't think so. Teams recognize him for what he is. There's no one that is going to look at him as an RB1.

I don't think he's going to take a pay cut. Not a chance. But if you mean will he take less than max value to stay... I'm on board with that if it is indeed "reasonable". But $7 mill is just too much, even given the culture/ locker room presence, which I agree with, and all those TD's he scoring...

At $6.9 mill AAV... yeah, elsewhere. I'm with buddha in that bruisers are easy enough to replace/ find another effective one when the real star is an excellent O-Line and a sharp O-Coordinator...

I would LOVE to have Miggy on the Tigers in 2023. As a bench coach where he can wave to the fans every game... not on the roster.

Yes.

No (meaning: I think you're right... no need to worry about Seider)... But I'd rather give him a good pairing that boosts him up rather than a crappy pairing that is dragging him down...

Unless he goes down for 10+ games in 2023?

And when 30-45% of those Mr. Ed horses are just loudly shouting out "F.U."

I think that's a reach... I don't agree with that take...

I'd like to see them get Jamaal an extension... like... today. But I don't view Williams as the key to having a need for drafting another RB. That is dependent on Swift's health... which is spotty at best. I think Reynolds is OK, he tries hard. But I like Jackson a whole lot more. Although I like him as a 3rd RB if we had a healthy #1; which we don't. So I consider him as a 4th RB, based on the unreliability of Swift, and I want to slot in another drafted RB who doesn't have to be an immediate starter but could take over as the #1 guy at some point in the season when Swift gets knocked out again for 6 +/- games... Jackson can be on the game-day roster as the #3 regardless of who the starter is... He is good in the passing game, as a returner, and as the 3rd guy, regardless. Williams I like a whole lot as the #2 back, especially for tough yards and all those TD's he keeps scoring for us... But I think we should draft another RB, IMO... based wholly on the unreliable health of Swift.

Which has nothing to do with American hatred/ vilification of European socialism... the original topic that was under discussion...

I am still 100%, absolutely, under the belief that the new House Dems coming in should (TODAY!!!) whip their caucus and give a call to... Steve Scalise. Cut a deal with him. Keep the investigations to an absolute minimum... And announce that... "100% of the incoming Democrats in Congress will vote for Steven Scalise for Speaker of the House". https://www.yahoo.com/news/kevin-mccarthy-says-democrats-could-195056960.html I don't trust, or like McCarthy. Getting 100% Dems behind Scalise gives power to the moderate/ centrist Republicans, who have enough members to stonewall the Fascist Republican wing and the McCarthy (he and MAGA = not much difference) wing... and push Scalise into the Speakership. It would force the 118th into the center and away from partisan hackery/ incessant confrontational politics. Or... at least hopefully...

Hoping that bodes well for us...

Very close along the lines of what I am thinking... However, I really want to get another high-end starting Guard out of this draft so on the second LB'er you've selected (Sewell... I'm counting Anderson as a pass-rusher/ OLB'er, not necessarily a straight-up DE...), I'd rather slot a Guard in there...

That may have worked for him in the past but I am guessing he no longer has the speed to carry that successfully... And that would be the problem...
