Kasper not going to play , good reason for others to step up, attention on Lombardi and DanielsonPersonally a bit bummed because I'm going to the Griffins game tonight. But very excited for the Wings. LFG
Agreed4th line, 9:27 of ice time, sent back down because 0 points while chiarot leads the team in ice time
Yup they must have had the flu all last season because their defense was shit too.If the flu's wrecking people that explains a lot.
A lot.
That was pretty bad.Mott is likely out after he ran Mancini's knee.
I'm glad he's getting special teams assignments. Hopefully, he plays meaningful minutes tomorrow.
Over or under playing 9 minutes in his first game in Detroit this season.
already like that line. Kasper waking up Ras and finally chance for Berggren to show his skills
That would be a trick considering he's playing for Copp.Way under.

It's not the goalies at this point. Sure none of them are elite, but how many goalies do we have to try to realize it's the defense. Now is that solely personnel, scheme, combination of both?He’ll make the games more interesting to watch.
The only thing that could meaningfully move the team forward this season imo is the addition of an actually good defenseman or a clearly above average starting goaltender. But I’d rather watch Kasper grow than someone like Berggren continue to flounder around, so fair enough.

Oh I agree it’s very much on the defense.
I think a better starting goaltender could mask some of that, which would help. But our blue line is an affront to god.
That is the most likely outcome.
In any case, why isn't the team getting flu shots?
You mean they year we watched double digits get hung on us like 8 times?I’d argue our defense in Blashill’s last year was better than it is now.
We need a Time Machine and prime Hasek.
So we can have mitches crying when he goes minus 2 and blame Stevie for that too?Emergency condition being that we suck?
Sometimes Steve doesn’t make the easy and right decision. Kasper should’ve been up from opening night. Dumb.
Odd take. He will have bad games. But how’s that any different to any of our veterans? At least he’ll learn and grow. Some people are either very resistant to youth or are such Yzerman apologetics.So we can have mitches crying when he goes minus 2 and blame Stevie for that too?
