    Shit. Thought that was probably the best period they’ve had this season till this last shift.

    Would be nice if the MLB line showed up at some point, they've been fucking tragic so far. And before someone brings up Larkin's 2 goals one was an empty net and the first was randomly centered and bounced off a defender, make no mistake they have played terrible these 2 games and change.

    Their advanced numbers have even dogshit. It’ll improve, but it needs to be quicker than this

    That shift won’t help. Woof.

    No idea what Mantha was doing on the forecheck there and Bertuzzi with some incredibly dumb passes.

    This is a team that hasn't played in a year that had no preseason. I'm not too worried about guys like Mantha, Bert and Larkin now. Zadina looks good but he also has been playing overseas.

    But I dont think people expected them to be good this year.

    Frustrating game, think we actually outplayed them which is rare for a Wings team. Team will be more competitive this year but we still aren't good.

    I mean Staal himself is the difference in this game. Took a bad line change that gave them a breakaway goal and then missed an empty net. Mantha and Bertuzzi both had good chances if they could just lift the puck they would have scored

    Excellent loss

    Some nice hand holding in the final minutes to carry over to tomorrow’s game. Hopefully Larkin just got his one fight as a captain out of the way for the next decade now

    Tomorrow would a good game to get Cholowski in the lineup. I would also keep Ras in there. I would consider putting Smith in as well, maybe for Nielsen or Fil.

    He would be challenged to fight for two of those three hits. I’m not much for goons but I wouldn’t hate going after someone like Reaves next year to keep on hand in case of emergency.

    Bertuzzi dropped all the way to 3rd line. Think he's just shaking things up.

    No solo player this draft to me makes a huge difference and our lottery luck is shit anyway. I'm over watching local teams lose so im ok if this team is competitive and finishes not at the bottom. It would be a sign of progress. Seeing young guys develop is a bigger deal to me this year

    That being said I still think all said and done this is a bottom 5 team. But we can compete with Columbus and Chicago in this division for sure

    Berggren is tied for 6th in SHL in points. The 5 ahead of him are all 6+ years older than him

    The DuBois situation is getting really messy in Columbus. He didn't even try when on the ice last night and Torts benched him for an entire period. They are gonna have to unload him soon.

    Highly doubt we become involved and whose to say he won't be a problem here too? I'm sorry but im not in a hurry to send big pieces for a guy who is already giving up on a team he is on. Because I can't see Yzerman giving up Seider or Raymond, I dont think it would be wise to trade your best player in mantha (when healthy) for a guy with locker room issues and I see a team ready to compete sooner than us doing better than an offer of Berggren plus picks. We'll see but I doubt we even get rumored to be in on that

    I would gamble on PLD but the way this is playing out, I don’t anticipate it happening. Not after Yzerman went through the Drouin situation.

    I do wonder if CBJ might want Bert in a deal for PLD. That would be a dream if you could make Bert, a prospect (say Cholowski) and a protected first work.

    5 players have COVID. If there is a 6th positive that comes back, they’ll have to cancel this game. Got it from Carolina.

    We can’t enter the offensive zone on the PP, so let’s keep the dump and chance instead of a controlled entry. Idiot.
