He needs to retire after this season. Tigs should pay him to retire.

I like that Livers can also handle and dish and not just be a spot up shooter...

Shawn Kemp! Dunno why Steve popped up in my head... Except I compared Higginson to him in the Higginson thread...

So we've put a team together of an 18 year old Steve Kemp, 20 year old Dwayne Wade, and 20 year old Magic Johnson... That's an interesting mix...

Did you walk 3 miles to school? In rain & snow?

What's Monday's significance?

I want to: Challenge Tork. And move Grossman off the team and get Baddoo back up here, by any means possible. And set my top 6 batters against Righties as: Greene Tork Baddoo Candelario Miggy Baez Meadows And top 6 against Lefties as: Greene Tork Baez Candelario Miggy Haase

Also... if Candi is also getting his bat back on track... That will extend this shallow lineup some... Even though they've been scoring twice as many runs per game due to the "Greene Effect".... Still looking to get some of those other bats (Tork/ Candi) unleashed...

I'll bet they'll really be pissed if they also lose this game to us... Haha!

Seems like a really good kid... Patrice Bergeron? OK by me!!! https://www.freep.com/videos/sports/nhl/red-wings/2022/07/08/brennan-ali-has-punch-and-appeal-detroit-red-wings/10018554002/

It's not actually a 'lude... LBV's are killer bottles of Port (I prefer that over wine); and affordable. Dow's is an excellent make. The Russian Quaalude is another type of shot that is "lighter" I guess than the whiskey. A shot each of Kahlua, Bailey's, Stolichnaya Vodka, and Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur). Mix 'em up over ice and pour out 4 shots or put 'em in a glass over ice (and keep to myself...). It's like a hazelnut coffee shot. Killer. Is that actually softer than the Fireball whiskey?

I heard he's now going after the WSJ...

I can go softer... How about a Russian Quaalude followed by a Late Bottled Vintage Port. Dow's, 2020.

Liquor is quicker. How about a couple of Fireball shots followed by your favorite chaser?

The "both sides" false equivalence is what the hysterical joke is.

And in the face of 30+ years of contemptible right-side language and behavior and violence, starting with Rush Limbaugh and Pat Buchanan, through the Tea Leaf ("FU") Party politics, and today's violent fascists all over America, and including a history of racism, xenophobia, Jim Crow, police brutality, slavery, lynchings, and other acts of white trash bigotry... I have no problem in standing up and committing opposite and equal acts of violence against these MF'ing scumbags. I'm going to buy an AR-15. And if these right wing fascist mf'ing scumbags make another attempt to overthrow our Democracy... I WILL protect the Constitution of the United States. Make of that what you will.

Both sides guilty doesn't make them equal. If I put weights on both sides of a scale, than "both sides", right? But one side is a one ounce weight and the other weighs 50 pounds... both sides are equal? You're pulling a "false equivalence" argument. Total bullshit. Motown Bombers is 100% correct.

Both sides are not equal. You are completely and totally full of shit.

I have to say though... this draft seems a lot more shrouded in mystery than other Yzerman drafts for the Red Wings... Could be just me...

Music to my ears...

Brennan Ali actually looks a little bit interesting too... especially for a 7th rounder...

PS: That's twice they've taken advantage of other teams' cap limitations to steal a young goaltender with big upside...

Beautiful. And he's only 27. Will also give some serious competition to Nedeljkovic. Who ends up as the starter? Or do they just split 50/50?

Seems a lot like last year. But the grotesque starts to the season are killin' us...

A lot of projection in there because he won't have played a lot of minutes on the men's team. That's why it has to be "trust the Yzerplan"... I liked Savoie because he had the playing time to show what he was: fast, aggressive, offensively explosive... Easy to picture him as a #2 Center. Kasper is harder to see because of the limited playing time/ all projection... Does he turn into another Larkin? A two-way playmaking 2C? Or less than that (3C or other...)? Much harder to see what will happen here...
