  1. I love Cossa and if any happens and going to kill anyone in this room and then myself.

    Cossa wanted to throw down with the Hogs goalie and asked him if he wanted to fight. Comesso didn’t want to fight so instead they got out of the fray and shot the shit about how cool it is that both of them got called up to the NHL this season

  6. Doubt I’ll be around for this one, West Coast games kill me on the weekdays. Will be here in spirit though (provided work hasn’t totally broken my spirits by the end of the day).

  10. Hoping Raymond stays on a heater because we’ll probably need it for this game. I was curious when the last time someone on the Red Wings had 100 points, and I was a little surprised it was Fedorov’s ‘94 Hart/Selke season (Datsyuk got close a couple of times).

  13. Huge game está noche! Will be a big test for our push back and resolve against incredibly tough EDM team.

    Also, Detroit will be at least inside the top 9 [Scott Wheeler’s Prospect Pool Rankings](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5919859/2025/01/08/nhl-prospects-rankings-2025?source=user-shared-article). Today, SEA entered the mix at 10th overall.

    * Counting down one team daily until Feb 7th.
    * Please give Scott’s actual write-ups the read they deserve.
    * Scott’s criteria in comments. Read’em.
    * Brackets w/each team is YoY delta.
    * Scott doesn’t actually do tiers, that’s just me having fun.

    If anyone’s wondering, the team’s yet revealed are: CBJ, CHI, DET, MIN, MTL, NSH, SJS, UTA, and WSH.

    Scott noted with ANA update that 6-12 are nearly interchangeable based on a few players, so we’ll have a big bunch of solid pools grouped from here until the top 5.

    🔽🔽**Tier: A FEW REALLY GOOD MEN**🔽🔽

    * **10.** **[SEA](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6084547/2025/01/30/kraken-nhl-prospects-rankings-2025?source=user-shared-article)** [+2]: Imagine 4 years ago someone telling you that a team’s prospect pool would *improve* despite losing Shane Wright to the NHL? Development is a fickle friend. Kraken hit 10th with tons of quantity, led by offensive standout Catton. Wheeler highlights quantity but having Fisker-Molgaard at 8th is a nice luxury of quality depth, too. One of the few teams I recall without a goalie in their top 15, so fans likely hoping the D’accord extension works out better than grubauer’s contract has.

    * **11.** **[BUF](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6083745/2025/01/29/sabres-nhl-prospects-rankings-2025?source=user-shared-article)** [-10]: Joint second biggest YoY drop so far (PHI -12, DAL -10), Sabres still come in with a really good pool. Savoie is out in the McLoed deal, and Benson graduated (and frankly, was only left in last year due to an exception Scott made), leaving current NHLer Jiri Kulich atop a solid list. 2024 1st rounder Helenius enters at 2 and in Buffalo’s top tier with Kulich. The depth core of Levi, Rosen, and Ostlund leave BUF solid up the middle and ready to support what’s already an extremely talented young NHL team. Looks like there’s gonna be some fun in the top 10.

    * **12.** **[ANA](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6078740/2025/01/28/ducks-nhl-prospects-rankings-2025?source=user-shared-article)** [-7]: Quite a thing to see the ducks fall this far given their talent, but Scott noted the next few teams are all excellent. Gauthier and Zellweger moved on, with Sennecke and Stolberg joining the mix. The trio, including Luneau, have massive upside, and ANA has bottom 6 NHL talent as deep as we’ve seen a pool so far. Scott debated ANA a few spots higher, and we may hear that a couple times in the next week.

  15. Just beat the Oilers. It can’t be that hard! What, do they have some good players or something? Pffft okay bro.

  16. Friends, im feeling confident about tonight and have made my family very aware that they may (will) be woken up to several obnoxious goal celebrations from me. LGRW
