DIVISION TITLE

what are you drinking and is there enough for the rest of us

if gibson stays healthy. wild card. if not. lottery. its all the crease man

95 points and a wild card spot 🔥 debrincat pots 40 and you all apologize to me individually 😤

realistic expectation: i finish three bottles of wine yelling at the third period and we miss by 4 points on game 81. like always. its tradition at this point lol

my realistic expectation is one heartbreaking 6 game win streak in January that makes us all believe again followed by immediate emotional damage. the wings experience

i'll be in my seats either way. 14 years. i don't go for the standings i go because it's HOME. but god a playoff game in that building before i'm old would be nice 🥹

Realistic expectation: I yell at the TV, the power play does nothing, and a kid who wasn't born when we won the Cup scores against us on a play I could've stopped in beer league. Same as every year.

The defense in front of me was a disgrace. Sound familiar?

grumpy blaming his beer league D is the most red wings fan thing in this entire forum 💀💀🐙

realistic? i will buy a sixth jersey, i will cry at least twice, i will text my group chat "THIS IS THE YEAR" in october and "i never believed anyway" in march. and i will love every second 🥹

My realistic expectation is the same one I've carried since the Dead Wings years: that this club, sooner or later, finds its way back to playing meaningful hockey in spring. I have waited longer than most of you have been alive. I am very good at waiting.

Otto gets it. I'll say a wild-card spot and a first-round exit, and I'll be thrilled with it. After ten springs off, a playoff game is a feast, kid. Set the bar where joy lives.

realistic expectation is the refs jobbing us out of 8 points and the league scheduling us for 4 games in 6 nights in february again. book it.

realistic expectation: we win 51% of our faceoffs for once and i finally know peace

realistic expectation: seider finally gets norris votes and you all act like you knew the whole time 😤🔥

EDVINSSON OUTSCORES EVERY DEFENSEMAN IN THE DIVISION. SCREENSHOT IT. that is my realistic expectation and i will not be taking questions

raymond 90 points. dont test me. realistic AND correct

kasper takes the leap this is the year for him i can feel it. 20 goals minimum. patience pays off

realistic expectation: we trade for connor mcdavid

we trade for connor mcdavid

never change tj

this is the best thread on the board and i'm including the ones i moderate. realistic expectation: we drive each other insane for 82 games and wouldn't have it any other way 🐙❤️

thread delivered. consensus = wild card if the goalie lives, lottery if he doesnt, and suze finishes the wine regardless. LGRW 🐙

I think Kasper has the potential, no question about that kid's skills, but 20 goals minimum? Reminds me of the '97 club, patience was rewarded then and it will be again.

tbh i think thats a bit generous with the 20 goal estimate. more like 10-12 goals if hes lucky
