lordstanley Posted October 26 Posted October 26 An improbable win! If I recall correctly, the Blues had a breakaway stopped when they were already up 4-0. Then 6 straight Red Wing goals. Quote

Edit: Watching the highlights, the assist from Copp on Berggren’s PP goal was a great play. And Compher’s tip in showed incredible skill just in redirecting the puck but in manipulating his stick to make sure it was a legal play. Edited October 26 by Jason_R Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted October 26 Posted October 26 That must have been one hell of a 2nd Intermission speech by the Todfather . Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted October 26 Posted October 26 I missed this game, I was next door at the David Byrne concert, but watching the highlights now............Mickey needed to take the night off - sounded like absolute crap. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted October 26 Posted October 26 (edited) 2nd tier playing for all the rookies - except Finnie. When was the last time Rasmussen was a healthy scratch? Edited October 26 by gehringer_2 Quote

buddha Posted October 26 Posted October 26 There's no point to rasmussen on the team. he'll probably stick around because he's on a semi-reasonable contract that has too much term. but as long as he plays like this, he's useless. maybe this will be a wake up call to him? he hasnt been productive since he got hurt 2 years ago during his best stretch as a player. at this point, he's holding back mazur and danielson.

It's like Mantha all over again but worse. He'll give a good shift or two that shows what he could do, and then disappear again. Hockey is a game where you spend a lot of time at the edge of total exhaustion but hockey players seldom show it. Rassmussen *always* looks and moves like he's already exhausted out there. I try not to accuse players of lack of heart (though Rassmussen has driven me to that on occasion) because you don't know what they are actually going through. In Ras's case, he clearly has a level of skill, but it looks like somewhere along the line he lost the physical capacity to generate the energy needed to play hockey in the NHL. Quote
lordstanley Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Speaking of Mantha, 4G 4A for the Penguins so far this season. Quote

slothfacekilla Posted October 27 Author Posted October 27 https://pittsburghhockeynow.com/pittsburgh-penguins-nhl-trade-talk-shopping-for-left-handed-defenseman-erik-gustafsson/ Rumor saying the Pens have called the Wings about Gustaffson, if so I'd give him up for anything Quote
slothfacekilla Posted October 29 Author Posted October 29 oh my god I don't want to alarm anyone but Rasmussen just outmuscled two guys on the boards and passed to set up a goal. it's a miracle. Quote

lordstanley Posted October 29 Posted October 29 4-1 Wings lead with under 7 minutes to go in 3rd. Good road effort Quote
slothfacekilla Posted October 29 Author Posted October 29 Yikes Seider just looked awful on the Blues' second goal just now, super lazy getting to a puck at the Wings' blue line Quote
slothfacekilla Posted October 29 Author Posted October 29 Even though the Blues seem like an awful team right now it is always nice to win the first game of a road trip! Think the broadcast showed its the best ten game start for the Wings since 2010/11 which is cool. Quote

It was Hamonic - Chiarot or Edvinsson - AlJo/Hamonic the rest of the way. Shout out for Todd for actual accountability! Quote

I honestly didn't consider an injury. Could explain the seemingly lackadaisical play but hopefully he just got sat in a game they weren't in a true danger of losing. Quote
