the wings were definitely due for a late round pick to succeed. good for finnie!
the real hero is larkin. he's playing like an all star again. just please stay healthy for once.
i think max predicted the wings would start out 5-1, and noted that the schedule was mostly at home and had advantageous travel from the wings' perspective. still, knocking off toronto, tampa, florida, and edmonton in succession is nothing to shake a stick at.
now they have to travel, but the opponents get (theoretically) weaker. the one game they played on the road this year they were dominated by the leafs but goalie'd their way to a win. hopefully they play better coming up. a healthy kane would help.
penalty kill still looks solid. goaltending looks good too. forecheck caused some turnovers. better sign edvinsson while you can still get him for less than 10m a year. that ship may have already sailed.
