@RyanHanaWWP @WingedWheelPod I called it yesterday, the Capitals have been sneaking up on all the losing teams, and have the tie breaker over all of them. I can’t see them fumbling like the Wings against the Rangers today. I think they’ll be in a playoff spot today.

Minnesota strikes twice within the first 1m25s to take the lead. Detroit's advantage wiped away in a snap, on the back foot now with stakes as high as they've ever been. #LGRW

@JustArm16 @RyanHanaWWP They’ll be real deep cuts this time around the Wings first selection is in the 2nd round.

@RyanHanaWWP Fire up the prospect profiles

@WingedWheelPod Obviously, they’ll win. Well at least that’s what’s happened every other time I’ve completely given up on them this season 😂

Rowan Dean would happily send our troops to war.

@Drumbum87 @Dukeford315526 @RyanHanaWWP @WingedWheelPod Yeah I stupidly combined two outcomes 😂 I said they could jump 5 teams, but then contradicted myself by saying Wild Card #2, when you’ve correctly pointed out the 5 team jump would put them above the Islanders into the Metro #3 seed.

@Peter__84 @Dukeford315526 @RyanHanaWWP @WingedWheelPod I think they would also jump the islanders lmao

Red Wings waste yet another opportunity where everyone around them lost, but also are once again completely bailed out by everyone else around them losing. Playoff race unchanged after today's games. #LGRW

@Dukeford315526 @RyanHanaWWP @WingedWheelPod Yeah it would, all these teams have kept losing while the Capitals have slowly been creeping closer behind them. If the trend continues Washington could jump 5 teams and be in Wild Card #2 tomorrow 😂 The Capitals have the Rangers tomorrow too.

@Peter__84 @RyanHanaWWP @WingedWheelPod Wouldn't that be ironic?

@ClutchPoints What’s the point of this post? Teams have been doing this for 20 years. I’ve never seen you clutch your pearls until now.

The Pacers and Wizards are playing with the system 👀 A month after this season started, both teams knew this year would be ugly. Instead of trying to fight for a play-in spot, they started thinking ahead for next season. Both teams made significant trades at the deadline. ➡️ Pacers traded Bennedict Mathurin's expiring contract for Ivica Zubac. ➡️ Wizards traded for Trae Young and Anthony Davis. Both teams also tanked like crazy and are responsible for the longest losing streaks this season. ➡️ Pacers (16-game losing streak) ➡️ Wizards (16-game losing streak) If no funky business happens in this year's draft, the Pacers and Wizards should land the first and second picks respectively. When fully healthy next season, the Pacers could have this starting 5. PG: Tyrese Haliburton SG: Aj Dybantsa SF: Aaron Nesmith PF: Pascal Siakam C: Ivica Zubac The Wizards are gonna look pretty scary too. PG: Trae Young SG: Darryn Peterson SF: Kyshawn George PF: Anthony Davis C: Alex Sarr Both teams should be fighting for a playoff spot immediately, and it's all because they tanked like hell this year. Is this the right way to tank? Or are they cheating the system? 🤔

@AFL @barrettdamian I’m not saying the Magpies aren’t heavily reliant on Daicos, but the undersell on Gulden is criminal 😂 Sydney are 3-12 without Gulden over 2025/26, and 10-3 with him.

Is Nick Daicos the most important player for his teams fortunes? See what @barrettdamian is saying about your club in Sliding Doors: afl.com.au/news/1487822

@RyanHanaWWP @WingedWheelPod The only positive I can find in all of this right now is Keith Tkachuk’s roast of how soft he thinks the Senators are on the Tkachuk brothers’ podcast, and Brady staying silent through it all. Sens social media has been humorous today.

Update on this: WC2 points pace is currently 96, so setting Detroit's target at 97 means they need 11/16 remaining points. That would be a record of: 3-0-5 4-1-3 5-2-1 or better over their last 8 games. #LGRW

@RyanHanaWWP On top of the East after 59 games, 10th after 74. Healthiest team in the league over the season. Tampa, Buffalo, Montreal, Boston, Ottawa, and Florida will be good next season. Free agency is dead with the cap increase. Team will be the same next year. It’s so disheartening.

Feels like we've seen this post from every playoff race opponent's media down the stretch. Probably not a good sign.

@DBossWinsGames @DetroitRedWings The question was rhetorical. This dumpster fire isn’t in any race. The team with the worst record in the entire league in the last 20 games isn’t getting anywhere near 7-1-0. “Still in the race” 🤣

@Peter__84 @DetroitRedWings You just answered your own question

@DBossWinsGames @DetroitRedWings Are they? What happens in the Metro is irrelevant, Boston are 3 wins and a tie breaker ahead in the 1st Wild Card, and Wild Card 2 is still projected to finish on 98/99 pts. They need to go 7–1-0 or better to scrape in.

@DetroitRedWings Put some ice on this one. While yes, booty butt results, we are still in the race

@BrianFisherLORW Even in the comments here, people still don’t get it @BrianFisherLORW. The Wings are one of the few teams who don’t need to be good to make money. All owners care about is money. They don’t care about fans. While the money is fine, Yzerman’s fine.

Fan based pressure doesn’t mean shit. This team makes fistfuls of money and ownership believes in the direction of Yzerman. They’re willing to stick it out, whether that be good or bad.

@NHLRumourReport The ownership don’t care. It’s one of the few teams that still make money without success. While the fans continue to spend their money, Yzerman is under zero pressure.

Nick Kypreos: We are keeping an eye on Steve Yzerman in Detroit. Ownership, led by Chris Ilitch, may be feeling more pressure...to contemplate a change; If the Wings miss out on the playoffs this season...fan-based pressure will hit a fever pitch - Sportsnet (3/30)

@RyanHanaWWP @WingedWheelPod 2) This team has 2 options. Catch lightning in a bottle without high end star talent like the 2019 Blues, or start all over again around Seider and Raymond. Both paths require a lot of work, because this team is nowhere near as competitive across the lines like the 2019 Blues.

@RyanHanaWWP @WingedWheelPod 1) I think you guys are too hasty on the Larkin trade questions you cover in Overtime on the pod. I think the rebuild has failed. There aren’t any top end prospects, just good prospects. Free agency is ruined by the cap increase, and Yzerman refuses to pay the current trade price

Tonight's #LGRW game recap: Same pathetic story as Ottawa, Philly, etc. Like they're on a tour of giving actual playoff teams a tune-up game to build their confidence. 1-3-1 in their last 5 when playing tired teams on the latter half of back-to-backs, also. Awful. #LGRW

@rohan_connolly @BradJon02664484 Did he really just say people didn’t want football on Anzac Day to begin with? I’m old enough to remember just how many people were turned away at the MCG gates for the first Anzac Day game. It was about as sold out as a game can get.

@BradJon02664484 Most of what you've said here isn't true mate. Friday night footy was popular immediately. Ditto Anzac Day (only people who didn't want it were RSL). And ditto Easter.

No self-interest in these comments, is there, guys?🙄Really hate the sneering way so many AFL media types talk about supporters, you know the ones who actually pay to go to games without the comforts of the commentary box. 82% want a day GF, THERE's your key stakeholders.

@JK_TheAlien @outbreezyWC Thanks for the laugh. He wouldn’t even crack the top 150 players in the league 😂

@outbreezyWC He’s quite literally the most exciting thing that’s happened to footy and the AFL in years. Rage bait. 👎🏻

Patrick Voss is pretty much an embodiment of the entire Fremantle Dockers football club… petulant, attention-seeking, disrespectful.. and yet to ever achieve anything of note.

@DeportEveryone @GinoHard_ @FriedgeHNIC I just hope the Leafs try and take out some knees on Terry, Gauthier, Granlund, and McTavish. Ruin their playoff run. Don’t need to be tough to issue the Gudas Special.

@GinoHard_ @FriedgeHNIC No one is doing anything to the Ducks. They have Ross Johnston, Jeff Viel, Trouba, and Gudas is willing to fight.

Radko Gudas reportedly "wants to play no matter what" against the Leafs on Monday despite being seen in a walking boot after getting injured Thursday night in Calgary 👀 (via @FriedgeHNIC)
