[biggunsbob]

[kalinecountry]

With 3 assists already tonight, Henrik Zetterberg (957) passes Sergei Fedorov (954) for sole possession of 5th on the #RedWings all-time points list.

 

[biggunsbob]

And you know what happened. Team just has no defense.

 

[JScottWriter]

Typical Wings, blow a lead and lose in OT.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Oh well. As far as blowing leads I think they've done much better this season than last..

 

[biggunsbob]

I know Zetterberg is signed but why would he want to go through this losing shit? The team has no shot to make the playoffs next year.. Go retire and have fun.

 

[Mitchrapp]

So lose money and have fun, or make money and have fun? I doubt he's like pissed off or anything..

 

[Mitchrapp]

1000 points is also a reason to stay..

 

[sggatecl]

Yay, more meaningless points! A couple wins to finish off the season and we may get all the way to the 8th or 9th pick!

Draft well and it won't matter.

Top 5 pick is what this team needs not another dart board shot !
Hopefully Holland will not screw this draft up.

Top picks don't guarantee anything.. We've got great picks later down on the board. many teams have..

Look at Edmonton.. Connor McDavid - the team went from over 100 points last season to missing the playoffs this year. 2 more points than us.

So basically they stink with Mr. MVP #1 pick.

Eichel sure hasn't helped Buffalo's cause.

I'd take 100 points next year !

 

[Mitchrapp]

I'd take 100 points next year !

And if they won 70 the year after we'd be bitching. We'll get there.. After 25 years of always buying and not have some first round picks, and mostly late picks it'd take some bad years to get back there -

4 picks in the top 37 picks - 8 picks top 100 we'll be back.

 

[Mitchrapp]

By the way looking at some mock and at 6 they have Detroit taking Quinton Hughes D, Michigan. Anyone know how he plays? He's a bit undersized, and it suppose to have a have one of the highest IQ's of his class, whatever that means.. Outside that no nothing about him.

Anyone have any idea's/opinions who we should pick at 6-7-8?

Hopefully you see the irony here.

Drafting higher is better. Period. You have more options whether it be through players available or trading back. Hoping for wins at this point is stupid and short sighted.

Why? Tanking is stupid for sports. I know if I was paying high money to go to a game I certainly wouldn't root for a loss.

Drafting higher might be be better but it doesn't mean you become better. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't.
