Appleton and JVR have been good additions to the lineup so far, great to see

Chiarot playing like he wants it tied up

Gah a couple great chances for the two goal lead there

I hope you're happy with yourself 😂

Day to day, I saw he skated this morning too so it shouldn't be a long absence

Hard to sit Talbot after he stole the last game and is undefeated

Top line winger Mason Appleton makes it 1-0!!

And Kane is back, false alarm. I have to say I'm pretty over seeing Rasmussen in the winged wheel. Please trade him for literally anything.

Kane just had a Chiarot shot hit him, it wasn't particularly hard I thought but he basically faceplanted in slow motion after it hit him. It took him a long time to get to the bench after, guessing some sort of injury...

They should be able to get nice assets for both but starting the rebuild cycle anew is a very tough look

Some things never change... He's their leading scorer too lol. Doesn't play defense, apparently a bit of a douche

Day to day is encouraging

Always nice to steal a game against a division opponent

Talbot is playing out of his mind today

What a snipe by JVR wow

shoulder?

Oof Raymond got hurt, big blow to the lineup

Theoretically Ben Chiarot could be a real asset to a team, he has the attributes to be a great physical, crease clearing defenseman which every team needs. But I think a combo of him not having great hockey IQ (always running into the wrong defensive lanes) and him thinking he's a lot more skilled than he is (trying to rush the puck himself instead of passing) makes that impossible to materialize. Which is a real shame because his massive brain farts negate all the good he actually can do.

Grand Rapids swept their opening series including a hat trick from Mazur in game 1

How about that ASP usage so far? I don't think he's been on the ice for a goal against and they have him killing penalties in the dying minutes of a game where they're protecting the lead. It helps that he's with Edvinsson but still, very encouraging that they haven't really had to shelter him yet either (50/50 zone starts).

Wings had awful transition defense in that first period, something is going to have to change if they want to come back.

Some ugly defense there woof

Wow what a shot from Larkin to make it 1-0!!

Dang think that was a bad whistle from the ref, didn't see the habs touch it and the Wings looked to have a scoring chance
