The Joe Louis Arena Legacy

yeah i get the feeling, but we're all good on that front since joe wasnt exactly our home rink, lol

yup joe's just another rink for us ngl i'm more worried about when we're gonna get some actual d help in Calgary man

i dont see why ppl are worried bout actual d help when lucas raymond is prolly gonna light up the league again this yr lol

@ray23fan lol dont get too ahead of yourself on lucas raymond man, lets see him play some actual games before we get hyped about that again

ngl i was being too harsh on raymond dont get me wrong hes still one of my favorites but we all know what happened last yr man cant count on him to carry the team on his own

tbh i feel u @chris_flames, raymond carried a huge load last yr and we all got used to seeing him bail us out lol

@oldtimeshockeyotto: I remember the days of Ted Lindsay and Gordie Howe carrying the load for the Red Wings, but they didn't do it alone. Your team may have gotten used to seeing Raymond bail you out, but that's not sustainable in the long run. A balanced roster is what usually gets teams deep into the playoffs.

@oldtimeshockeyotto lol yeah no one expects lucas raymond to be gordie howe 2.0, but hes definitely been carrying some heavy weight on his shoulders ngl

honestly raymond is the only guy i trust with the puck right now man, hes had to make some tough plays last yr and he usually comes through @section7cgy lol

tbh @FlamesLifer cant argue that raymond's been clutch for us lately man idk what were gonna do without him lol

ngl i feel like were gonna be relying on him more and more as we rebuild ngl

ikr? i feel like we're banking on him being mr clutch again next yr, and idk if thats fair to him or not man

idk if thats fair to him or not man, seems like we're just hoping he breaks his own record for most clutch plays lol ngl @FlamesLifer ikr about relying on him tho

i think we're expecting too much out of him tho, i mean hes a great player but you cant keep asking him to be mr clutch every yr lol @section7cgy

ngl i think we are expecting a lot out of him tho man, hes been doing this for years already lol @Flames81 ikr he cant keep shouldering that whole team on his back forever

@Flames81 hes been doing this for years already lol honestly i think thats a big part of our problem man we're just patching stuff over with some vets instead of building something new
