Lol. Ed don't give a crap who Ovie is.

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

Oof. These holidays have taught me that dark & stormies are TOO dark & stormy for me these days. Sitting like old motor oil in a drain pan.

Gloob.

I've switched to bourbon & coke the last few days.

Eddy dumpin Ovi
Nice play

He is going to be a monster as he develops and adds more muscle. To just body someone like Ovie is really impressive.

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

at this point I'd rather have Fischer in there than Tarasenko

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Holl is really trying to survive, jeebus.

I don't think we know much about anyone yet - most of the team clearly loves being unleashed. Maybe Tank needs a different line, etc.

I really liked him when he was with St Louis -- unless it was against us in which case I hated him

He just doesn't look like the same guy

 

[19 for president]

Ok so Kane issues appear to have been at least been partially motivation based (so there is some hope there) but Tank just looks cooked.

I think he needs to be the next guy to sit. He isn't forchecking well, shooting well, passing well and is skating like he is in mud.

Tank still sucks. The dude needs to be traded.

 

[ShanahanMan]

The 1-3-1 is out

Maybe. You guys know way more about that than I do. I'm just excited to be watching high effort hockey from my team. And oh, yeah, a severe ass-whipping.

 

[theYman]

Why don't we bring up Soderblom? He had a nice fight the other night in GR. Put him on the 4th line

And this guy helped win a Stanley Cup twice?? Guy was always overrated IMO

 

[dalem177]

Lyon looking solid. Good brain to keep it going and send it to the corner.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Much better defense posture than the usual turtle power. Really wanna see some push in the third tho, a little more cushion.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Detroit showed more creativity and skill on their goals in the first than any other 5 games combined this season.

 

[Peter Tosh]

Berggren needs to show more for the Buffalo scout watching

 

[Winger98]

If this is how the team plays the rest of the year it is a damning indictment on Lalonde.

Been saying to call up soderblom for the longest time . Enough with this overripe bs lol we need to see who's got a future here next season

Soderblom and tuomisto will be 24 wallinder will be 23 ... hanas is pretty much gone but might as well see him for 2 games... yzerman needs to move some deadweight somehow

Similar to Blash, I don’t see him ever getting a head coaching gig again.

It’s like the saying goes; a good coach can make a team 10% better. A bad coach can make that same team 30% worse.

 

[DamonDRW]

funny thing is that is not us playing good hockey it is Washington being very bad.

 

[AlwaysSunnyInDetroit]

damn, seider's played almost half the game so far. larkin with almost 16 minutes

 

[Snuggs]

Missed the whole game so far... Looks like I missed the best period of hockey in a month! 4 goals in the 1st!

Might be, but the fact that we haven't been ceding the initiative all the time is making it harder for them to get their game together.
