TBF - In the Yzerman era we have had a couple of rookies that didn't suck in Sieder, Raymond and maybe even count Edvinsson. Edited yesterday at 07:53 PM by gehringer_2 Quote
lordstanley Posted 23 hours ago Author Posted 23 hours ago At least the Wings’ record to date isn’t inflated by top goaltending. Quote

But no, they're not all going to hit the NHL ice on the fly... They're going to go through learning curves and rough patches and such... And we're just going to have to live with that until they're up to full speed. Hopefully most of 'em make it instead of flopping. But we'll have to wait 'n' see on that end of the rink. Quote

This is the 4th season after his draft year. You don't expect a #8 overall to make the NHL in the 1st season or even the 2nd season. Should be contributing by year 3 though, which he did with 19 goals and 37 points in 77 games, something to build upon. But by year 4 you should be breaking through, and so far 3G 0A 3pts in 18 games ain't it. Quote

lordstanley Posted 19 hours ago Author Posted 19 hours ago (edited) Huge goal! A win here would help make up for last night’s collapse. Edited 19 hours ago by lordstanley Quote
GalagaGuy Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago What is Quick even salty about? The net is empty and the game is over. Dude acted like the puck got fired into the Rangers bench. Quote
Sports_Freak Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago I'm glad I erased my knee-jerk reactions after last night. Being negative doesn't do any good. Very sweet goal by Raymond. I was shocked to see the shots on goal....over 40 Wing shots....impressive Quote

sagnam Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago Wait until Quick learns about morning skates. He’s going to be so mad. Quote
