3rd Rate Weird Al

@313Hockey I’ve seen a couple people saying there’s no prospect help coming even though there’s currently four 1st rounders still playing in grand rapids 🤷‍♂️ Vibes are so bad right now

"I want the team to win the Cup NOW and ANYTHING else is a FAILURE" of course you believe that. you're 7. "ANY prospect that isn't a superstar right away is a BUST" right on buddy you're 7. "this team sucks because it isn't a cup contender" bless your heart. you're 7!

Working on a new unified theory of casual red wings fans I'm calling "everyone is 7 now"

@BizNasty2point0 I’m VERY confident they’ll miss the playoffs

Talk to me Red Wings fans. I’m here for you. Where’s our confidence level at this morning? #lgrw

@Ronandrews57381 Ok ms Cleo

@3rdRateWeirdAl There are no saviors among those prospects bud. Some may become good complimentary type of nhl players but no star level talent the wings need to raise up the standings. Period.

NEW: With a second consecutive regulation loss (at home), the Red Wings are running out of time to re-write their March woes nytimes.com/athletic/71455…

@Ronandrews57381 @m_bultman What? They have tonnes of prospects

@m_bultman The Yzerman rebuild is about to be ,rebuild the rebuild. There is no Calvary coming from the prospects.

@HockeytownRD @DetroitRedWings They can but they probably won’t #MentalToughness #LGRW

Very difficult, inexcusable loss last night. Do you believe the @DetroitRedWings can still make the playoffs with 11 games left? 🐙 Leave a comment below of your reason. #LGRW #RedWings

@GR_Rinaldi_ At/near the summit?

@RedWingDiehards Wait for it x.com/3rdrateweirdal…

Steve Yzerman in 3-4 weeks when he’s asked why he didn’t protect the 2026 first he sent to St. Louis

@FakeMarcoKasper If you were going to trade Larkin, the time to do it was the 2022-23 season at the latest. If you trade him now you’re blowing the whole thing up and starting the rebuild all over again

Everyone wants to blame merman but yzerman added at the deadline and the team still choked change coaches still choked… it’s time to have an uncomfortable conversation about Dylan Larkin

@aseparatemind Next year is actually a very interesting year for prospects. A number of them lose waiver exemption next season. Time to fish or cut bait

I really have no solution for this team at the moment except waiting for prospects. They can’t seem to find their identity on the ice and are acting like OTT is a god tier team with how jumpy and sloppy they are.

@DetroitPodcast lol no

If Red Wings miss playoffs, is it time to Fire Steve Yzerman?

@jdawgLGRW Not a popular opinion but probably time to move on from Patrick Kane

What does Patrick Kane do on a nightly basis

@McCartyDangles No

I'm gonna say something super dramatic If Lucas Raymond won't shoot the puck Trade him in the offseason... Idk how you go from scoring at will to be scared of your own shot but alright

@jimmysstew @RyanHanaWWP @McCartyDangles I appreciate that! But a team with a negative goal differential probably shouldn’t be in the playoffs tbh Was fun while it lasted. Luck just ran out

@3rdRateWeirdAl @RyanHanaWWP @McCartyDangles I was just trying to be nice lol

Ottawa was on the second half of a road back-to-back, 5th game in their last 7 days, 5 defensemen hurt (incl. Sanderson & Chabot), rookie making his NHL debut in the lineup, trailing Detroit by 1 point in the playoff race. And the Red Wings lost in regulation. Pathetic. #LGRW

@jimmysstew @RyanHanaWWP @McCartyDangles No. No they do not haha

@RyanHanaWWP @McCartyDangles Tough on Ryan, close game tho.. Both squads deserve the playoffs IMO

@champletics #MentalToughness #LGRW

Wings lose to Ottawa who were missing a bunch of players and playing on a road back-to-back. The Senators have officially jumped the Wings in the standings. I'm sick. I'm so god damn sick.

@AnsarKhanMLive The good news just keeps rolling in

#RedWings McLellan said Finnie is in concussion protocol and there’s no update.

@QuennevilleGary @BrianFisherLORW Edvinsson is the absolute least of their problems my guy

@BrianFisherLORW When will they address Edvinsson’s play . Brutal turnovers . Bad penalties . ASP goes down to GR and scores in game 1 when we need offense and our PP is in dire need of help. Coaches wear some of this .

Seasons not over, but after that game. It feels like it I’m so frustrated by this game. By the idea of missing the playoffs for the 10th straight year and not getting the job in March for the 3rd straight. No 1st round pick to look forward to this year. 1/3 #LGRW

@BrianFisherLORW They had every advantage this game and still blew it Certainly come by the late season chokers reputation honestly

@HockeyWithDevin So much mental toughness

4-5-2*

@313Hockey This team keeps talking about mental toughness. Let’s see some

Unbelievable
