Can't score if you don't take a shot...

Well this is ugly!

Hopefully Blashill doesn't go too crazy with the line blender tonight with Bert out

Well my decision to start Markstrom in fantasy hockey so that I would be "happy" either way worked I guess, Wings lose 3-0

Nothing going in the second. Game is making me sleepy 😴

I read something fairly interesting about the Wings' goalies over the last few seasons. Bernier and Greiss both started off bad with the Wings when they first came to the team, just like how Nedeljkovic is now. In all these cases they were coming from teams that gave up far less shots/scoring chances compared to the Wings' defense and it seems like it takes goalies some time to adjust. Ned definitely had a better team in front of him in Carolina. Hopefully he adjusts...

Calgary looks like the better team so far, 2-0 bad guys

1-0 Calgary after Fabbri blocked a shot and was hobbled. Wish he would have just gone to the bench instead of limping around in a small area of the ice for a bit.

Smith fights Lucic off a faceoff because??? Not much to it but I guess if Lucic has any juice left it is a good trade off.

Patrick Roy had such a hilarious tenure as coach/pseudo-gm in Colorado I am all for him coming back for my entertainment.

Raymond said he was fine but held out due to protocol last night after the game

The switch to ESPN from the NHL streaming has been amazing. ESPN+ seems to link up well with our smart tv too so it has been great imo. I too bundle it with Disney and Hulu but it looks like it is $7 a month standalone. I would say it is worth it for me with UFC involved. I missed the first two periods of this game due to work, settling in now to watch the third!

Nick Cotsonika has some Blashill quotes on how the Wings are using data, if you click there are more than one tweet:

If he handles big minutes a whole SHL season without looking overwhelmed I'm not sure how they don't bring him over, I have to agree with Buddha here. Originally I figured he would take a couple seasons in Sweden but the hype is getting crazy.

Larkin is skating at practice today, I've been holding my breath that he didn't get his neck re-injured and they didn't announce it so he could serve the game suspension without any issue.

Funny you mention not mixing it up after talking the goal because he gave OEL a little shot after the Zadina goal, I've noticed him doing little things like that in other places too when he gets fired up: Him and OEL mixed it up later in the game too I believe so I think they had something going

I honestly have no clue what it is, I think it may be a mix of an old boys club and incompetence. They're inconsistent on almost everything.

Edvinsson is getting some unreal hype right now. Sounds like he's been moved to Frolunda's first PP unit too. The whispers online are that the Stars had Edvinsson as their top prospect and the Wings had him as their third rated guy.

Figured I would drop this here after he did the same to Larkin. How is the NHL just letting him do this without even a penalty?

I should have just named this my prospect rambling thread Nice to see a guy with his size get down on that shot so easily Goalies in our system: Cossa... 6 GS 1.15 GAA .958 SV Bednar... 3 GS 1.89 GAA .929 SV Gylander... 3 GS 1.97 GAA .930 SV
