I absolutely will not stop believing until it’s mathematically impossible. There are still twists and turns to come, mark those words. Everybody who is chasing that last spot is in sketchy form. Every team is 1 game away from a damaging loss. We have to keep going, giving up now would be so, so weak. Fight like you mean it. Do not stop til they tell you you’re dead. Do not be embarassed to flog a near-dead horse on its last legs. Ride it with pride, lets go.

Yeah I can’t see Sprong being re-signed.

Some team will overpay him in UFA.

Could Yzerman sign Michigan boy Dakota Joshua?

I’d sooner give him 3-3.5 mil than old washed up Perron.

I’m always wary of signing players having career years.

But Joshua is 28, has some size and racks up hits.

Just what we need.

Plus he PK’s.

Maybe his success comes from playing with JT Miller?

The D is garbage.

Try to sign Michigan Boy Matt Roy.

Buyout Holl and Petry.

Trade Maatta for a 4th round pick.

Canes like Finns, I don’t know.

If Yzerman can sign Roy then Ghost is gone.

Edvinsson needs a solid RD to play with before he joins Mo full time.

Sign Mo and Raymond to max 8 year deals.

Hope Husso bounces back (unlikely) and start promoting the young guy’s.

Mazur, Kasper, Bergy, Johansson, even Danielson if he’s ready.

I hope the Red Wings win for you even if they’re mathematically eliminated.

Mike I think they could beat Pittsburgh and Montreal but not Toronto. That does not mean they will. I think the defense is awful after Seider, Walman and Simon. Gotisbehere gives offense but Ben and Petry are near the end. I do think Sprong fails to back check, that is why he is benched some. Why has he been on four teams? Lyon is mostly fine he just needs a partner..Is part coaching but their overall talent is not great its decent. See what happens. I am going to the final home game against Montreal.

This Red Wings team has too much talent to be playing the way they are. I'm not saying the Red Wings are a legitimate Cup contender. Far from it. But Bob alluded to it. A lot of it is self inflicted. I talked about it the other day how they have no clue how to defend. Just throwing the puck across the ice in front of their goal. It's hilarious how Perron basically threw Mo under the bus for HIS mistake. "Sometimes he handles it." But then he cleverly says "my mistake." Yeah ok Dave. 🙄 I'd fire Losey even if Detroit did make the playoffs. My gut says they're underachieving!]]> In reply to Tom Rady.

Tom, do you really believe this Red Wings team can win in Pittsburgh and Toronto?

I don’t.

Stranger things have happened but this Red Wings team has scored 1 goal in their last 5 periods. 🤔

As for Losey, he should be fired.

Mike, I dont know if it is totally over, but your probably right. The one thing that ways on my mind is what will happen to the coach. They have played a little better lately so I think it could go either way now. The story a week a go is if they do not make playoffs he is out. I do not know if that is true now. Again they have played better somewhat. I just do not know what will happen. I do not think anybody does.
