Nice play by soderblom to get the puck to kasper and nice shot
Wings need to start playing these kids man . Albert johansson belongs in the nhl
Cant we still make trades although the player cant play in the playoffs ? Send a 3rd and some retention on holl and move his ass

Soderblom and Kasper on the same line, Lombardi and Mazur same line. Edvinsson is everything, love his physical game. Kasper is horse, Mazur same. Johansson looks NHL ready, Wallinder Soderblom and Tuomisto continue to improve, Viro also looking alright.
Really loving Johansson’s game. He’s improved his defensive game so much and he can really get under the other team’s skin - hope he gets called up soon
impressions from last night.
-Cossa was really solid. I want to preface this next comment with I am not at all any sort of goalie expert, and I genuinely mean this as a compliment - this is my 3rd time seeing him this year, and what I would say my top impression is that he is so big and so positionally sound that he makes a lot of saves look extremely easy. He takes up the entire goal and what I would imagine would be harder saves for others are just totally routine for him. I hope that made sense. He also got into a near scrum last night where he threw his stick and almost got into it. I'm a big fan.
- Johansson stood out to me last night. Not a huge guy back there, but skated well, was always in the right position and was just ... calm. He also drew a penalty on a nice move. I really hope he gets a shot. He looks ready.
-Ed was great. So smooth. Not much more to say.
-Mazur didn't stick out to me at all last night. Not saying it means anything, and I know he's been productive lately.
-Lombardi was ok. Skated well but didn't find a lot of room to operate.
-Soderblom looked just ok most of the game, then he had an absolutely brilliant move to spring Kasper for a goal. Shrug.
-And now for my #1 hot take. Kasper looked like the best player on the ice. Well, best forward at least. He was on the penalty kill, PP, took a ton of faceoffs and was just active all game long. Great skater, physical. The difference between last Fall and now is just stunning. I think he needs to be up next year.

Would assume it's a Kids Day Game, so all the Winnipeg/surrounding Manitoba area elementary/middle school students go to the game as a field trip.

Definitely not all his fault, but some softies for sure. Ugly game, team looked flat and uninterested for most of the game…not a lot of compete from their leaders.
Great game for Cossa. Elmer with a big goal. I’m not sure how some are starting to write him off as a prospect.

It seems like Cossa is taking control of that #1 Goalie spot for GR which is exciting because the Calder Cup Playoffs are right around the corner

Cossa has a better sv% than Askarov now.

Most people shouldn't ever expect to see a 6'5" 230+ player at full physical potential until like 23-25'sh. They need to grow into and get used to their frame.
