You would think playing with those two … Well... After 3 assists tonight he has 5 points in 6 games. But I think Larkin & DeBrinc are hogging all the points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1984Echoes Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 DeBrincat & Larkin are now #1 and 2 in points with 12 and 11 in 6 games each, respectively. DeBrincat #1 in goals with 8 in 6. Everyone else is 6 or lower... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordstanley Posted October 22, 2023 Author Share Posted October 22, 2023 6-2 Final. What a weekend!! Not only is this the Wings’ 5th straight win, but the last 4 of those have been by 3 or more goals. The Wings have the best goal differential in the league.

Shinzaki Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) When the Wings gain control of the puck...they are much quicker in transition than they've been in years.

We may be about to find out how much of Larkin's talent has been wasted playing on 8 yrs of bad teams. He's a decent sniper but his game is play making and he may finally have mates that can play to his level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.TaterSalad Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 See, this is why I wanted Debrincat so damn bad this off-season. What a soring machine he has been. Obviously, his pace of play will slow down at some point this year, but really, truly, enjoy it while it lasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinzaki Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) When evaluating our rebuild timeline...one of the knocks on the Wings from the Athletic guys was that we apparently lacked a top end scorer and a true 1C...I think we may have those things now Edited October 23, 2023 by Shinzaki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 their underlying numbers are middle of the pack so i expect them to cool down. however, the way theyre playing is different. as has been noted they look more physical up front and more composed at the back. the east is so stacked that they'll be in a tough fight and i still think they might come up short, but this is a better start to the season than almost anyone imagined. its nice to see it.

They are playing fast now. The question is can they keep playing fast over an extended schedule or are they running down the team's long term batteries by performing above their true equilibrium energy level over a short stretch? IDK, but we can hope they can keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.TaterSalad Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Amazing what adding a real goal scorer can do for a team though. This team's hot steak is directly correlated to Debrincat coming in. I don't know what his WAR rating is, but it has to be a high number above his replacement from last season.
