@redwings924 @johnscharrett @AnsarKhanMLive @griffinshockey I’ve been one of Compher’s harshest critics, but he has really stepped up with all the injuries. He’s doing a solid job on the first line and Copp looked good centering DeBrincat and Kane. I figure if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

@Berger_BYTES I don’t think either Hunter has any interest in the Leafs. The team had its chance to hire Mark as GM and opted for Dubas. Dale did a year in Washington and decided to return to London. Both are in their 60’s and have been presiding over a gold mine since 2000.

May 14, 1985. The Colisee in #QuebecCity. Rare playoff footage of the #Nordiques and #Flyers from the #StanleyCup semifinals. The guy taking the faceoff for the Nords (Dale Hunter) should be hired by the #Leafs. Along with his brother. Gene Hart of the #Philadelphia broadcast calls the play. Flyers won the round then lost in five to #Gretzky and the #Oilers for the Cup. It was the first Cup final I covered as a reporter.

@Slodeezie @RedWingDiehards The closer teams are to a cup, the more the overpay doesn’t matter.
English

@RedWingDiehards Also Colorado giving Toronto a first round and a fifth round pick for a player who has 20 points in 60 games is psychotic.
English

This is psychotic but also borderline ferd 🇺🇸
Shawn Lodeesen@Slodeezie
@RedWingDiehards Make a play on Matthews. 3 1st round picks, Danielson, MBN, Kasper.
English

@theblueautumn @DetroitRedWings Sounds like he’s starting tomorrow night, which is a massive positive.
English

@DetroitRedWings Sounds like Gibson is not out for the year so that’s a slight positive

@NHLRumourReport Youngest team in the league.
No pressure to make a deal.
See what they have in house and deal in the off season - like last year getting Dopson.
English

@stripermagnet51 @NHLRumourReport A rental with three years left on his contract? That’s the reason not to trade for a 35 year old centre in decline. Weegar is 32 with five years left. If Calgary wants to unload those two contracts, I don’t think Detroit’s the right destination.
English

@NHLRumourReport Never happen Yzerman is a wus and kadri is a rental
He will do nothing this deadline
We will miss the playoffs by one point
English

@nut7953 @SeiderG65609 @DetroitRedWings Do the names DeBrincat and Gibson ring a bell. When the time is right, he makes his moves. Now it’s time to beef up the blueline and I have no doubt he will. Chiarot at $3.8m under this much higher cap will make for a perfect third pair D who can mentor the kids.
English

@SeiderG65609 @DetroitRedWings Lmao. Yeah when has he done that lately?
English

BENNY! 🗣️
The #RedWings have signed Ben Chiarot to a three-year contract extension with an AAV of $3,850,000.

@313Hockey Let’s get crazy…
Add in Trey Augustine and swap Faulk for Parayko
English

This could be a case of me overvaluing the Wings prospects but...
Two first round talents + two first round picks for a great top-six center and a mediocre 33-year-old defenseman seems like kind of an overpay, no?
Hockeytown Rundown@HockeytownRD
Someone on @PuckPedia posted this mock trade for the @DetroitRedWings and the @StLouisBlues 👀 Blues get 4 premium assets Wings get a top 6 center and top 4 dman Who says no? 🐙 #LGRW #RedWings

@Rainytuesday3 @Archaeologuy I’m super chill. I just hate seeing hall of famers’ names misspelled and Fedorov’s has been near the top of the list since he was a rookie in 1990.
English

@Archaeologuy Federov won the Hart and Selke in the same season. More to winning cups than just offence

@GerryPg1750 @DetroitRedWings I saw games at the Olympia as a kid and when the JLA first opened, fans said it would never have the atmosphere of the old rink. Of course, 40 years later, we know how fans rightly felt about the Joe. The same will happen with success at LCA. All good.
English

@bobsmith55 @DetroitRedWings For the newer generations, agree Bob.
I now regret writing that comment, was unfair. I saw too many great concerts and games at JLA during my formidable years, for any other arena to compete fairly with.
But I do find the upper bowl seats at LCA are worse than anything at JLA.
English

@DetroitRedWings Great words.
And thank you for bringing us such joy.
(P.S. JLA was special. LCA doesn't have the same magic)
English

@OnlyONEGoat @StBrownPodcast Especially 202 after every practice.
English

@StBrownPodcast People who never touched a football a day in their life don't understand how difficult that is. Especially at that range.

@CHMTL1 @PierreVLeBrun @Canucks @mnwild @NJDevils Neither DET nor NJ had a prospect at the level of Zeev Buium. Give him a season or two and you might think differently about the deal… not to mention Rossi, the first rounder and the 20-year old Swedish winger. Actually a very good return for a guy who wasn’t staying.
English

@PierreVLeBrun When you trade an elite player, YOU MUST RECEIVE AN ELITE PLAYER IN RETURN @Canucks. Congratulations to @mnwild for this trade, and I’m surprised that the @NJDevils didn’t have the guts to make a move for an elite player. Fire the GMs of Vancouver and New Jersey.
English

Confirmed teams that tried on Quinn Hughes: New Jersey, Detroit, Rangers; and to some degree, Carolina and Buffalo.
Pierre LeBrun@PierreVLeBrun
Obviously lots of teams called as Vancouver explored the market thoroughly, but am told the Canucks got bonafide trade offers from 6 teams for Hughes. As mentioned, NJ among them. But explains the quality of the return from Minnesota.
English

@AlexMac1103 @DetroitRedWings Same. Even most of the players were heading down the tunnel. It was great news to wake up to.
English

@DetroitRedWings I turned it off after LA scored in OT. I’m flabbergasted. Can’t believe I missed it. LGRW ❤️
English

@onapercythirty @DetroitRedWings Talbot skated off without arguing at all or even looking towards the refs in hope or expectation of a call. this was clearly game fixing and in all seriousness whoever initiated this review at the league office should be federally investigated.

@bobsmith55 @progrocksongs @tonylevin @THEadrianbelew @stevevai I knew you had great taste in music 😉
