johansson - seider
edvinsson - holl
maatta - chiarot
petry

talbot
lyon

gustafsson + husso to sjs for *future considerations*

No. We don't have 4 better D than Maatta. And Gus certainly isn't one of the few that are.

My sneaky hope is that AJ ends up as Seider's partner. Off-hand Chairot scares me. I like Maatta but I think Ed and AJ make him the odd man out of this group? Gus does feel like a disaster on our own end but he looked really good as a PP QB v. PIT.

"How were you guys able to tighten up defensively in today's game?"

You don't need to say all that, Copper. Just point to the guy to your right.

 

[ShanahanMan]

Still would like some insight on the Tarasenko situation. Must have done something to piss Lalonde off.

 

[odin1981]

Send him to 60 minutes of confinement with Mike Babcock.

Hey ah, let me see that cellphone there Gus lol

 

[Winger98]

They should let Petry know he can take his time getting healthy.

He played a few shifts, Fester was trying to protect the lead. He's not a player you want on the ice when you decide to go into a defensive shell. He still got more TOI than Burger.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Chiarot had a strong night as well.

Played 14 seconds less than Mo with 25:33 TOI, played in all situations. Assist on Compher's goal, 4 blocked shots, +2. He took a penalty in the first but it was one worth taking.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Husso and Gustafsson, not a good look for you two, team was much better without you both tonight.

If you both could just go away, that would be great.

 

[Lampedampe]

Ed had a better game for sure, good to see.

Rasmussen looked pretty good aswell.

Johansson looked as advertised, just solid. Solid passes and puck movement. Made some defensive mistakes, but looked like he was adjusting to NHL speed. He reminds me abit of Jensen.

 

[Gniwder]

They should let Petry know he can take his time getting healthy.

Holl flubbed the puck a couple of times after a strong first period. While he played better than last season, I'm not convinced he's better than Petry.

Anyways, Petry or Fish will need to go on IR to make room for a forward.

 

[ShanahanMan]

Bultman confirmed Tarasenko was pretty much benched for the 3rd

 

[FabricDetails]

I would have traded the Talbot shutout for a Skubal shutout. Because that's how it works, haha.

 

[Austrianwing]

Talbot was awesome

Raymond might get 90 points this year the way hes looked out of the gate

Johansson looked smooth out there and played a really solid game. Moves the puck so much better than basically everyone else back there

That might have been Velenos best game as a wing, no points though so it will go under the radar

AlJo was as advertised. Knows what to do and does it.
I was a little worried about him getting out-muscled, but he kept up in those moments. Mostly he just successfully avoided having to have those battles in the first place. I hope to see him put some one of the plugs into the press box this season.
Ed improved a lot from game 1 to 2, and even over the course of the game. He seemed more focused, so the ratio of "Whoah! Come on dumb-ass!" moments to "Whoah! We've got another high end D!" moments changed a lot.
Cam was unreal. Get Lyon in there too, he seemed mostly like a goalie not used to that sudden workload. Whatever Husso's potential is, he needs to just prove it when the chances come up

 

[lilidk]

They should let Petry know he can take his time getting healthy.

They should use same defense combo next game.
Most importantly Edvinsson didn't do anything stupid and he was great, simplify your game kid.

Bultman confirmed Tarasenko was pretty much benched for the 3rd

I wouldn't be complain if he gets traded. Didn't Fischer got injured, confused

 

[ShanahanMan]

We need the scoring

 

[cjm502]

Most of the team played realgud. Very super realgud game. I love how effortless it looks when Edvinsson uses his skating and reach to maintain puck possession 1v1. You have to get him in a tight spot or have a few guys on him if you want to take the puck away.

Where was this?

I’m not a big debrincat fan.

 

[Ulysses31]

stoke for ed n holl, hope theh can b a solid shutdown pairing

talbot mvp obv today

 

[Go Wings]

Those two contracts did not prevent us from signing Roy. More importantly, even if they were not on the roster there is nothing we could have done to force Roy to sign with us.

Patrick Kane was 34 and coming off a nasty surgery when we signed him. He was hardly the belle of the ball at that point.

Force him to sign with his us? He's from Michigan and signed with Washington because they had cap space. Washington tied with us in points last year in case you forgot. Washington is nowhere close to a contender just like Detroit.

 

[OneMoreTry]

The equivalent to the "prevent defense" in football? Just don't give up the out of bounds or something like that.

Our defense looks more like an all out blitz, not getting the sack and in consequence giving up the TD.

22-42 shots - I like the win, but Talbot just stole it. With Husso in net, this is a 2-4 loss.

Improvement compared to game 1? Yes, but not as much as the result suggests.

 

[RegalLager]

Pitching a shutout after the first game is huge and I don't care about anything else
