Dylan Larkin is a better player than Chychrun.

And you're ignoring my other post that opened up more options then just "an old stay at home defenseman".

You seem to be getting stuck on that.

One last comment: It depends on circumstances. Let me turn that around on you: SY discovers that Larkin has had it with negotiations and is refusing any further talks. He is going to become unrestricted and can't be talked out of it. The Red Wings are going to lose him for nothing. OR... what package would YOU accept for Larkin, who is adamant on leaving the Red Wings with nothing?

larkin also has a no trade clause.  so he would have to agree to a trade.

larking brings back a first, a decent young player, and a good prospect.

bertuzzi rumors are heating up a bit.  dallas mentioned.  edmonton too but they have no room.  we'd have to take salary back.

Feels a little weird to be not in attendance for tonight's Wings @ Canucks, but I have a commitment smack dub during the time of the 2nd period.

larkin with a great move on the breakaway for another goal.

zadina, otoh, had a one on one and - surprise - shot it right at the goalie.

Pay that man his money.

[lordstanley]

Larkin has been all over the place this period, in a good way. Both goals, 2-0 Wings after 1.

I have to say, for as down on Zadina as I am Quinn Hughes does not impress me as a player either.

I still like Quinn but I will say this: am not sure he is better than he was his rookie season.

bertuzzi playing well.

what might have been if bert were healthy and vrana had his head together.

He definitely is skilled, I just don’t see him as playing “winning” hockey if that makes sense

which is more useless as a finisher, Zadina or Veleno? 

[1984Echoes]

It also appears to me that Husso has caught a second wind after the break.... Seems like he's playing every game since, and is saving at .940+ each game...

(Did that off the top of my head) - checked the game logs - recency bias says I forgot he got bombed by Edmonton but in the 3 games since including this one... yeah. 

[lordstanley]

I was just texting a friend about that about Husso. 
 

Wings came storming into 3rd period. Now 5-1. 

[slothfacekilla]

The Canucks are down bad as a franchise yikes

[slothfacekilla]

Jonny Burgers with another goal, I wish the Wings could play the Canucks every game. Nice pass by Veleno after the Wings had a 6-5 on the delayed call. Larkin made some nice plays as the extra skater too he’s had a great game. 

[gehringer_2]

6-1. Wings score on a 6 on 5 delayed penalty call. Can even remember the last time I saw the Wings do that.

[1984Echoes]

Even barely used RHD Gustav Lindstrom has a goal & assist this game...

[1984Echoes]

And he's 3rd paired with Hagg who has been atrocious so far this year...

[1984Echoes]

I want Stevie to try and be a buyer this deadline as well as a seller...

See what he can come up with...

Canucks fans feel like Tigers fans now. Had a great decade from around 2006-2015 with high standings, playoff wins and Hall of Fame players. But just couldn’t win that elusive Cup. If they had won in 2011, same as if the Tigers had won in 2012, the fans would be more patient. 

[lordstanley]

lol, penalty shot for the Canucks. I had no idea of that rule. 

[lordstanley]

When was the last time a goalie stopped penalty shots in back to back games?

[lordstanley]

Whoa, just hearing about MSU shooting now. My cable does get WXYZ and WDIV.

The Wings won the first few minutes of the 1st and 3rd in a big way, but as Ozzie said, the Wings were beneficiaries of a lot of puck luck the rest of the time. The game was a lot closer if you looked at overall offensive zone time. But we'll take it.

That all makes sense.  Seems like the Nucks need new ownership and management.

booo no vrana tonight
