The Detroit Red Wings had to dig deep to find a 4-3 win over the Seattle Kraken. Fortunately, the Wings pushed hard in the third period and grabbed th
[See the full post at: Red Wings rise to the challenge in win]Good morning, Jeremy! Hope you’re well.
Recorded the game, then watched it yesterday. Again, defensive lapses are costly. Our G situation is becoming more concerning. Gibson is showing his age and faults more readily, thus our defensive shortcomings are being laid bare for all to see.
I wrote about the Hughes chatter. Am interested to see what the populace thinks. I really think we should jump IF the price is right; not dumping Rayzor. The problem is that to get a kid like Hughes, a BIG name needs to go the other way, so who is it? The problem is the kids are ‘ok’, but there’s no one to step up and pay the style of hockey Rayzor does. If, for example, Danielson was blowing the league away, or Kasper was just devastating the league, I’d be more interested. Rayzor’s defensive game is impressive and his scoring and passing are in the top 1% of the league (MY estimates only, here….), and the kids haven’t hit that level yet. So losing him would be a major hit. ASP? Not sure, but could probably be persuaded to accept it. We’ve gotta pull of an incredible deal to make this happen. Also saw that MacTavish is UFA this year, that kid’s got a great game so I’d jump in on that solely because of the defense he brings. But I’m NOT looking to add offense to this team; we need a D-dude that just brings it every night. That’s been made perfectly clear. The next question………
At what point do we send one of our Gs off and call up Cossa? Or DO we? He’s killing it in the ‘A’, and I truly think he’s got what it takes to be competitive in the Bigs, now. His game has come sooooo far. Maybe he finishes the year off in the ‘A’, but next season should be Cossa’s shining debut.
Chairot’s been playing like a man possessed. I really like what I see, but why’s it taken so dang long to hit? Maybe a 1yr for him coming back…. JVR’s been the gift that just keeps on giving (YEP, ‘Christmas Vacation’). DEFINITELY want him camped out around the net, the guy’s just nails. Copp’s been playing better, but he’s sunk money; maybe a TDL move if we retain. Hearing that Gus may be on the move, wish he’d played better honestly, he could’ve been impactful. Eddy’s just been lights out this season. Pairing him with Mo has definitely helped his game, and now we truly have the #1 D pairing we’ve been hurting for over the last 9yrs. Those guys really have what it takes and both are impressive offensively…..Mo’s number show the positive impact….. and when is Mo going to be in the Norris discussion?!?!?!? Not saying he’s THE guy, but his numbers show how truly valuable he is to this team. Now, if he could only learn to fight (dude got ROCKED last week…..that was brutal to watch….).
We need to come out swinging each game. That’s not been happening and we’re paying a big price for it. String together a full 60min game. If we can do that, this team could be very dangerous……
Hello again from across the ocean,
reading all these interesting lines, I was wondering how I could record a Detroit game and watch it from France (I mean, legally of course because there are probably strange ways to do it but no thanks) to have at least one full game. Does that exist on the net ?
There is a channel here which gives you one game every week but you don’t know what teams are going to play so it would be expensive just to have to wait for Detroit, if it ever happens (unless they go to the finals).
And I agree with the Hugues trade, but not for Larkin/Razor/Mo/Ed/Debrincat/ASP. That doesn’t leave a lot for Vancouver except for prospects and Danielson and Kasper. I would be a difficult trade indeed, but maybe the next step to win more.
For now, let’s see how many points the team is going to get !
