Hello there,
sorry, I’m honest, I’m not a senators’ fan at all (let’s say I hate their nasty dirty game for some of them) and I’m so angry (but not surprised) to see brutal moves such as the one on the rookie from Carolina (easy when you are wearing a full helmet, isn’t it ?) or the coward “stupid” punch to say the least. And no word from the coach on such things ? “Guys, we played well etc etc”
Okay… I didn’t see the full games, maybe Carolina did the same dirty things but that’s not my definition of hockey.
It is sport, or maybe I got something wrong ?Hi there,
the problem is that important players like Larkin or Cat did their best season ever, are close to their prime, and the team is still not in the playoffs. When it happens, I hope these players will not be too old to appreciate (they deserve it) and help the team.
Another thought : Wallstedt instead of Cossa. Look where the first one is today. Cossa is doing well, but it is “only” AHL. I’m not sure what to say : not the best goalie choice for Detroit, or would it have been the same for both goalies if they had swept teams (Detroit is not the best place for goalies to develop, in my opinion) ?
Now, we have Augustine, Postava and more but how will they do in NHL ?Oh no, as much I like reading your messages, mine seem to vanish (too long ?) and it is really uncomfortable to have to type them again…
The site seems to have problems, and I’m not the only one, so you really have to be motivate to come !Nevertheless, a nice season with nice players (Cat, Mo, Larkin, Gibson for most part, do not listen to analytics reading numbers on a screen…) but a horrible finish and “fans” moaning even if the team is winning (I don’t understand) or when a trade is made or not made.
SY doesn’t trade, booooh !
He trades for a nice addition = oh, we lost a 1st rounder, booooooh !
No matter what “fans” say, SY is a careful and intelligent man and tries to do his best for the future, no only for one or two years.
Detroit not injured, not tired, played very well. But it cannot happen for a long difficult season (all star or olympics…) : Ed, Ray, Gibson, Larkin played injured or too tired at the end.Hello there,
for once, I will not totally agree with your article !
Indeed, the team is not at 100% as they were in december (by the way, every early point matters) and they believe it’s getting difficult. Are we a contender if we cannot win with Larkin, Gibson and Ed not at 100 % ? Others have to step in.
For the future part, is it so bright ? MBN is playing well in ahl, but cannot score in nhl yet. Kasper has lost his game and seems to skate and hit. Danielson and Mazur are not close enough to make an impact. Who is going to be the next Mo or Raymond ?
Other prospects will probably play well in ahl but what will it be for the big team ? We will have injuries on important players, because of the long season or stupid players hitting (see Matthews’ season stopped) and because some are getting older and play a lot.
Todd has done a lot to push them but at the end, they cannot go on pushing every game on the gas, that means they are not quite ready to go further. I wish they can clinch the wild card, but they are not showing us that. They lost confidence at the worse moment, but not the other teams.
This is a bright team when at 100%, nice players, talented for the most of them. But you cannot win a long season like this, and I’m not sure who can come in and play well for us next year, scoring goals, even on the bottom six.Hello again,
it’s easy to say it now, but they should have played Postava or Talbot instead of a tired Gibson.
Mo, Ray and Cat are all doing what they can to win (what a season for Cat and Mo !) but if they want to win, everyone has to do so and the goalie needs to be a wall, no other choice !
Larkin is probably still injured, we will know it by the end of the season.
This is playoff time, let’s try and enjoy the last games and see where we are at the end… No excuse for bad luck when you give up 3 goals like last time !Another game, and the so-called Detroit fans moaning again… not to mention “fans” in Ottawa on some sites, delighted to insult our best players and happy when their agressive team hits and hurt. I don’t understand where the sport is, and I’m not sure they know either.
What a pity to see such stupid peole writing things on other teams. As much as I hate Ottawa and the kind of play they do (no matter how, cheat, hit too hard, hurt good players, fight… but win), I will not insult their players.
Hockey is a sport, it should be entertaining, not shouting (or worse) on the other team.
Worried to see Larkin go on the ice again, and again becau of this Zub player. Happy to see Cat answer but was it his role ?Larkin is coming back, even if he is not 100 %… maybe after Ottawa who would hit him again and again ? It would be wiser to wait. As I said some time ago, it reminds me of Yzerman playing on one leg and coming back on the ice to help the team at a critical moment (playoffs if I’m not wrong).
This year has been so tight for the race to playoffs that it is crazy. Interesting indeed, but crazy. Maybe something to do for the NHL for the years to come, so that not so many teams fight for one spot (such as shuffle the teams a bit more) while it is quite ok in the west ?
For Detroit, playoffs have already started and it is good experience for Mo and co.
That will tell us if they are ready to do something nice in the playoffs or just fall in round 1 or before… time will tell us really soon.Hi from under the rain,
the olympics are starting and it will be interesting and frightening to watch some games with big names. In 2030, it will be in France but probably no NHL players…
As you wrote, any damage to players will (can ?) prevent the teams to compet for playoffs.
I’m so surprised an error on the rinks occured for such a competition ! I read it could be dangerous for players…
I had a look at the opening (I saw Germany but couldn’t recognize Seider) and it was sooooo long ! Just waiting for games to go on french tv, we will probably see France (of course), good teams like Canada or at least the semi-finals and the final. I can’t wait to watch a full game ! It will help us forget the rainy days (as for you, it seems to be way too cold… climate is getting mad as scientists said it already !)
Let’s hope our three players will not do too much and get hurt… but juste keep or gain confidence for the next nhl games.Yes, you have to click on “home” and then “detroit” to have the latest news… mystery of the internet.
Panarin is heading to LA, probably not a good trade for SY again (too old ? too much ? not long enough ?) or maybe he has something better/more reasonable coming soon or before march.
But we really need some depth for the playoffs, and that needs time to work (look at JVR) so let’s not wait too much !
