jfc kid has played 7 career NHL games.This to me is the most worrying, if Kasper/Danielson aren't going to be at least 60-70 point producers the rebuild is in trouble
are we ready to make some trades yet?
He wasn't the only one, for what it worth, chalk it up as a team as a team learning experience, better to have these games now and hopefully be more resilient throughout the year.AlJo had a brutal game. The team can't afford him having too many of those stinkers.
right, except our 2 "easy" games this year (Pit & Buf) were both disasters.I'm not sure what people were expecting. Winnipeg's at the top of the league. If Lyon was on his game this could have been much closer, but that wasn't the case.
Clearly I'm in the minority but I take some positives from the last two games. 1st period against Edmonton and 2nd period in this one the team showed some positive signs.
Schedule will start to ease up a bit now. 5-4-1 would have been a great place to be, but 4-5-1 isn't a disaster.
November schedule is make-or-break because if they can't bank some points it's time to panic for real.

The bolded are ones that they need to win, which would result in a 7-6 record. Probably need to steal a few points elsewhere to really feel good about the month, but on paper that's more likely than it was in October.

Spoiler alert, they aren’t.Next 2 games are big. Should be 4 points if the team is a playoff contender.

Even if Jeff Petry's grandparents were Gordie Howe and Ty Cobb, and his aunt was married to Barry Sanders, he shouldn't be wearing a Wings jersey. This hometown Michigan boy crap is partly why Abdelkader and DeKeyser received such generous treatment from the prior regime. Yzerman made a bad signing but it's time to admit it and sit Petry.
For sure. If you look up active NHL players from Michigan, the top 15 in GP includes six current Wings players! I wish Kyle Connor was one of those players but oh well.I'm sure part of it is the hometown boy thing but I think it's more from the UFA side. It's a selling point for a team that doesn't have a lot of selling points to lure free agents. These guys get to play for their hometown team and be closer to family.
Petry was likely a hedge against Holl sucking, which he did. So it mostly worked last season. This season we'll see who sucks less I guess.
