January 2024 Game Threads


Recommended Posts

This team is beginning to show how good Yzerman is. Almost every night we go against teams where the best player on the Ice is on the other side, but Yzerman is starting to build enough depth of secondary talent that they are succeeding anyway. Yzerman has often talked about the fact they you can't really control getting generational players, so he's doing all the things he can control better than the other guys. I don't know if he can get them to being a great team without finding more stars, but they're at least getting to be a good team again.

The question is are they good enough yet to keep Yzerman from deciding to pull the plug and sell assets for future picks one more time.

That was a horrible start to the late powerplay. Thought they were going to give up a shorthanded breakaway in the dying seconds. 

That was a:

"What the ****?!?!" scream at the TV...

Another comeback win. 6-0-1 in past 7. 

 

 

And that was a WOO HOO just a couple minutes later (or, more like a "whew" wipe the sweat off my brow...).

alex lyon has really been a god send for this team.

Another thing with Lyon is that he does not clear the puck to the other team a lot. All goalies do it some, but Husso seems especially terrible at giving the puck back when he does a clear around from behind the net. It's not a big thing in a goalie's game compared to save % but when a team has as much trouble regaining possession as the Wings often do, having a goalie that isn't constantly clearing the  puck right to the other teams is just another small plus.
