I didn't realize this was so early

Must win. Wings lost at least a point on Friday and Boston came from behind to pick up 2 yesterday. 

[lordstanley]

Jack Edwards already snitty about Ndeljkovix still being a rookie. His stats the last 5 games haven’t been great. 1-4-0, 3.42 GAA, .903 Save %.

love the way Boston attacks the puck against the power play. Would love to see the Wings have the speed to play that way again.

Rasmussen doesn't cover Bergeron. Tie game.

for the #6 pick in the draft, zadina really hasnt panned out like we hoped.  still time though.

[gehringer_2]

Leddy's not that great, but they still miss him by virtue of having to play Lindstrom

and oesterle....and dekyser...

the bruins top line is killing them.  not that that's unexpected, the bruins top line is really good.

Oesterle looked really lazy on that odd man rush that lead to the Bruins goal. Just floating behind his man. 

[gehringer_2]

I guess you can say he was out of gas, but. yeah - I could have gotten down ice faster than Oesterle on that Bruin breakaway,

Veleno is pretty useless. it will be a big disappointment if Berggren isn't better than one of the guys here now.

Seider just took the puck from  Marchand on a rush. Nice

[buddha]

the most surprising thing from this game so far was rasmussen making TWO checks on the same shift!

he should be doing that on every shift.  for someone so big, he plays so soft.

none of late term rebuild holland's first round picks are panning out.

rasmussen (a huge reach with necas sitting right there)

svechnikov

cholowski (passed on chychrun)

zadina (over hughes)

veleno

not one star player among them.  not one guy who projects as more than a third line player.

yzerman has three drafts and the first two have produced two stars in the making and the third one is looking like the real deal too.

[gehringer_2]

Scrums in front of the net after a save are getting ridiculous in the league again. They had done a good job of clamping down on that for a few years but it's been coming back in a big way. It was stupid back in the day and it's stupid now.

zadina falls asleep and its 3-1

[gehringer_2]

Yup. And Hronek should have had the puck cleared in the right corners 5 sec before the goal but he was slow and played off. Bad team looking bad.

Wings have thrown in the towel. Oesterle could have blocked, Lindstrom spectating.

and now its 4-1.

[buddha]

5-1.  bad goal from ned.

[gehringer_2]

and back to back penalties. Worst game I've watched them play in a while.

The morning after that draft I thought it could be a franchise-changer. Zadina, Veleno, Berggren and McIsaac.
