  1. Smith fights Lucic off a faceoff because??? Not much to it but I guess if Lucic has any juice left it is a good trade off.
  2. https://twitter.com/IcehockeyG/status/1451266035605286920?s=20 Elmer really seems to be putting it together, his skating and stickhandling have improved a lot The Wallinder development hasn't been great but he's slowly earning more ice time in the SHL it seems like
  3. Patrick Roy had such a hilarious tenure as coach/pseudo-gm in Colorado I am all for him coming back for my entertainment.
  4. Raymond said he was fine but held out due to protocol last night after the game
  5. The switch to ESPN from the NHL streaming has been amazing. ESPN+ seems to link up well with our smart tv too so it has been great imo. I too bundle it with Disney and Hulu but it looks like it is $7 a month standalone. I would say it is worth it for me with UFC involved. I missed the first two periods of this game due to work, settling in now to watch the third!
  6. Nick Cotsonika has some Blashill quotes on how the Wings are using data, if you click there are more than one tweet:
  7. If he handles big minutes a whole SHL season without looking overwhelmed I'm not sure how they don't bring him over, I have to agree with Buddha here. Originally I figured he would take a couple seasons in Sweden but the hype is getting crazy.
  8. Larkin is skating at practice today, I've been holding my breath that he didn't get his neck re-injured and they didn't announce it so he could serve the game suspension without any issue.
  9. Funny you mention not mixing it up after talking the goal because he gave OEL a little shot after the Zadina goal, I've noticed him doing little things like that in other places too when he gets fired up: Him and OEL mixed it up later in the game too I believe so I think they had something going
  10. I honestly have no clue what it is, I think it may be a mix of an old boys club and incompetence. They're inconsistent on almost everything.
  11. Edvinsson is getting some unreal hype right now. Sounds like he's been moved to Frolunda's first PP unit too. The whispers online are that the Stars had Edvinsson as their top prospect and the Wings had him as their third rated guy.
  12. Figured I would drop this here after he did the same to Larkin. How is the NHL just letting him do this without even a penalty?
  13. I should have just named this my prospect rambling thread Nice to see a guy with his size get down on that shot so easily Goalies in our system: Cossa... 6 GS 1.15 GAA .958 SV Bednar... 3 GS 1.89 GAA .929 SV Gylander... 3 GS 1.97 GAA .930 SV
  14. He always struck me more of a player that gets called a defensive defenseman because he doesn't have any offensive skills that pop rather than being particularly good at defense. But that's just me.
  15. Veleno scored two goals in Grand Rapids tonight after scoring opening night. Nice to see that start after getting sent down.
  16. Hughes can be an adventure in his own zone eh
  17. I honestly hate those cross checking plays so much. Unnecessary and dangerous. The league talks about punishing them harder but then doesn't ever do anything.
  18. There are less goons in the league, specifically less guys who are only there to be goons. Often linesmen will jump in between guys if they can but if a rare fight does break out they won't usually stop it. Just happens less frequently now.

  19. Ah so Larkin gets the intent to injure because he reacted to getting hit from behind after missing time with a serious neck injury. Very cool. I know you can't go around decking people but it is tough to swallow after the hit.
