GDT: Game 30: Red Wings vs leafs 7:00 pm et 12/14/24

He had 33 in total last year, so this season he is 9 hits behind his average, I really don't care because he was and is a player you do not sign for hitting.

Here’s an insane stat for you all, and he’s actually been playing better recently so I won’t hate on him too much but Andrew copp has only 3 hits in 30 games.

Bigger guys who don't play big are really irritating.

Two more strange stats: Wings have outshot Toronto in both games so far, and outscored them 3-1 at 5v5. Maybe they thought if they could figure out a way to compete with the Leafs, everything else would fall into place.

Nobody said you signed him for hitting, but that is an egregiously soft player. Even Kane has double the hits he has in less games.

Copp before his core injury did throw hits. I don't think he's ever fully recovered. His skating will slow down as the season progresses much like last year.

People criticise Copp after this game when he made the best play of his life

The wings played a good game, Petry had his best game in wings uniform, Husso didn't let in any soft semi soft goals. It was a very good win.
Veleno played 6ish min. Last game and this game Veleno actually looked good.

I wouldn't call Copp soft. He doesn't shy away from contact he just doesn't throw a lot of hits.

And the "hits" stat is highly suspect anyway. Ras is second only to Seider in hits this season so I guess he's one of the Wings most physical players?
