What possible reason would the wings have for playing Hamonic??
Especially paired with ASP. Yikes
Elliott Friedman is reporting that the Red Wings are in talks with the Winnipeg Jets about a possible trade. The target could be defenseman Logan Stanley…
Unless the Wings can get a guarantee that he’ll sign a new contract, Stanley would just be a rental player. So the price shouldn’t be that high – unless there’s a bidding war.
SY doesn’t like rentals. Maybe, they work something out.
Well guys the game just finished 2/0 for The Wings. The guys played a great well-disciplined game. I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t believe they would win this game. So very glad. Hope they keep this up next game against Uta.
Talk about your role reversals, now what are we all going to complain about. Lol
Next game is just as big. Hope for the best again.
Hopefully tonight’s Wings team is the one that shows up Wednesday.
Who the seventh defenseman is.
Moronic things like that.
Not sure what your referring to. A different post possibly?
What kind of gibberish are you posting. Forgot to take your meds.
