Sucks we got a point but we are seeing this team regress. The points are a byproduct of high shooting % and high save %. As those even out, we will be back to being a bad team in the standings.
DeToxRox I figured I should keep my gushing of Larkin in here rather than spamming the NHL thread, but this is legitimately nuts. https://www.hockeyviz.com/fixedImg/wowy/1819/DET/larkidy96/wrap The differences in Abdelkader and Nyquist when they play up on the 1st line rather than down on the 2nd are particulary ridiculous, in addition to basically every player getting drastically better with him on the ice.
It’s insane. I get that the team doesn’t think Rasmussen is ready for 18 minutes a night but fuck, put him with Larkin already. The kid would start scoring. I mean Larkin could single handedly get us a first for Gus.
Zadina is looking good for the Czech’s but his supporting cast is bad. They need to bite the bullet and put Zadina with Necas and Kaut. Right now Zadina is on his own trying to drive the play.
Valeno and McIssac each with one secondary assist in the third period a 14-0 win for Canada over Denmark. Malte Setkov was only -3 for Denmark with one of their twelve shots on net.
God I hate these lines. It’s time to break the chains on Rasmussen. He can actually score in front of the net. It just makes no sense to continue to shelter him. Gus - Larkin - Ras Bert - AA - Vanek Abby - Nielsen - Ehn de la Rose - Glendening - Megan
Hopefully he goes on tear last part of season. He’s been pretty disappointing so far. At this point, I don’t even think he’d make opening team next season.
Without seeing a single highlight, I'm very in on Kappo Kakko based on his name and the fact that he looks like Gunnar Stahl.
We really should trade Jensen now, because DeKeyser is due back soon and there is zero reason that either Hronek or Cholowski should go to GR.
I would think a 3 or a 4. He’s a competent RH D. I don’t think he’s a top 4 guy anywhere of course, but any contending team that needs depth would be foolish not to enquire.
The goalie market is dead right now. Philly and St Louis are sellers now. We need an injury to a top team in order to get anything of value back for Howard. Jensen has been getting a lot of buzz nationally. I think he will bring back a 3rd rounder. Healthy scratch Ericsson before you sit either Hronek or Cholowski when Dekeyser is back. We have been “fortunate” with injuries to the vet D that has allowed this not to be that big on an issue so far
Is it real life that Franzen is still on the books? Also, it makes me so upset when I'm reminded of Abdelkader and Helms cap hits.
Also this is good. Finally pulled the anchor off the top line and it’s paying dividends. Stole these off Twatter https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dwy9JB5X0AAKHZ4?format=jpg&name=small https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dwy9KKOXcAE54x1?format=jpg&name=small
