Gonna be an ugly one

Ya he's looked off/bad lately, not shocking. Odd Blashill still had him killing penalties...

Second period is another story, all Panthers and it is 2-0. I hope my wife wakes up soon.

Riley Barber on the first power play unit is certainly a choice

Ended up being the gwg

Quite the shutout for Ned

43 saves and counting sheesh

Erne made it 2-0 and now elite sniper Filip Zadina just scored from the top of the circle to make it 3-0

Not another Nabokov situation I guess

Forget Cossa!!! https://www.nhl.com/redwings/news/goalie-magnus-hellberg-signed-to-one-year-deal/c-332960696

I took away that the Sens have the better "core" right now since the Wings' guys (Larking - Bert - Vrana) are older than the Sens' generally and may not be at their peak when the Detroit prospects are ready. Larkin is probably the best overall player from both teams but the age part hurts him. The Wings have a better prospect pool when you take out Edvinsson and Sanderson for their evaluations though it doesn't seem like they're wowed by Detroit's top level talent. So it is a toss up of who has the "edge" you could say from my perspective. It seems like most of them would take Seider as a building block so that's pretty sweet. I am shocked everyone is rating Sanderson so high right now but he's been pretty good I guess. I am also shocked that at least one of these guys didn't panic on Cossa a bit with how up and down he's been.

I've honestly been putting off reading that piece because I was afraid what it was going to say about the state of the Wings' rebuild but I guess I'll be checking it out!

They still don't seem totally convinced either but hey what can you do haha. Interesting to see Wallstedt at 6, from what I understand he got hurt then the backup took the job from him?

It is nice to see Edvinsson get some love, the Athletic guys still don't seem to want to admit how legit of a prospect he is. Kinda weird that Craig doesn't include Soderblom in his top 50 but what can you do

That was a vicious play by Malkin, I happened to be watching the game with my parents and I couldn't believe he wasn't kicked out right there. I think Malkin even tried to slewfoot Borowiecki before this happened. Just a bunch of garbage plays in a row by Malkin who always seems to lose his temper and do dumb stuff.

Translated Hakan interview where he talks Pontus, Kronwall, and other prospects

Probably doesn't turn in to anything but it doesn't hurt to try!

Forgot about the game until I saw the notification that Gagner got a shorthander, wild!

No clue how good Ras can be with his skating where it is but I at least like that he seems to get pissed / also make the other team pissed at him a lot now. Now if only the Wings wouldn't always get beat up in these scenarios! I like to see his fire though.

Oh dang I see you with that pass Theo:

He is also providing plenty of serial killer vibes which I'm into

Well maybe I'm bad luck I have barely been paying attention with work. Nice to see Zadina score an authoritative goal and not just a tap in or something. It wasn't difficult because of the nice play by Vrana but hopefully seeing the puck go in like that boosts his confidence a bit.
