I don't think the NHL knows either

Very nice win in Columbus. I'm intrigued by the new Joe Veleno usage. I wonder if Todd sees something in him or if Yzerman told him to give it a try. Joe has actually made some nice plays that have surprised me, he also still does some stupid stuff. But maybe they can drag a hockey player out of him after all?

Looks like Petry might have broke his wrist or something?

Thank god for their power play

Awful backcheck by Veleno on that tying goal, blah

As an ex goalie I would have been very annoyed at Seider and Chiarot on that BJs goal, it is like they were trying to screen Talbot

LOL nice of Elvis to have pity on Gustafsson and allow his first goal as a Wing on a long range shot. 2-1 in the first, Wings up with Kane having the other Detroit goal.

Rangers seem to have had bad management and bad prospect development the last few years. Like buddha said, their old guys seem to be too old to patch that over now.

Largely boring second it felt like, Kane had a really nice shot to score on the power play to make it 2-1 at least. Seider made a nice kick save late in the period.

I thought Tarasenko was going to give the puck up—instead he makes a nice pass to Berggren for a breakaway goal! Wings look much more active and engaged, 1-0 so far

zero clue about this twitter account but I have seen a ton of reports that the sabres and red wings have had scouts at each others' games recently so I figured I would post it I also saw some rumblings about Pettersson to Detroit but that seems like it was just fantasy, I guess the nucks gm held a bizarre press conference recently? I guess theres some locker room strife or something.

https://www.nhl.com/redwings/news/red-wings-sign-ondrej-becher-to-three-year-entry-level-contract Welcome to Grand Rapids, I have some hope he turns into something

I wish someone could shake some sense into Rasmussen that he falls into the same category of needing to be physical and mean

And neither Protas or McMichael have been able to crack 35 points in their careers yet so just goes to show you need some patience....

Hopefully this clicks with him because he could have a long career in the NHL if he played physical and mean

I think Max was the guy flipping the puck over the net

I choose to believe Todd McLellan is such a good coach he healed Simon himself

The roster is already constructed to basically turnover this offseason and next with how the contracts are. I wouldn't mind them getting anything they can for older guys these next two seasons, but they definitely aren't going to make the playoffs and I think a "blow up" will just happen naturally by not re-signing expiring deals these next two offseasons (or I hope). If I were to play armchair GM.... this offseason let Kane, Fischer, Petry and Motte walk. Bring over ASP, bring over/call up MBN and/or Danielson. Throw a bunch of money at Mikko Rantanen. Look to sign someone like Dante Fabbro as ASP insurance if he needs to go to the AHL to get used to ice size. Trade Lyon before the deadline this year and then call up Cossa in the offseason. Next offseason after that, let Tarasenko, Veleno, Chiarot, Holl and Gustaffson walk elsewhere. Sign Edvinsson to a long term deal. Hopefully Mazur, Wallinder and maybe Buium are ready for a taste of the NHL. Maybe this upcoming draft we get a really good player that could be in the mix. Pray one of Karpizov, Connor, Necas, Eichel, or Kempe hits free agency especially if we don't sign Mikko Rantanen last offseason. Sign a defender or two to ~2 year deals, hopefully with a more emphasis on playing defense. Make Cossa the starter.

He took 11 shots that game, kid knew he was the best player on the ice and played like it! Max showing off his slick passing

I like it a lot

Lets go I love it, always liked Todd as a coach and hopefully they can get a good run of seasons from him.
