i'm not a massive fan of these stats, but i do think it shows how massively unlucky the wings have been this year.

well we can only hope this is true because the front end was was supposed to the be easy part of the schedule I think,

The AHL's leading scorer gets a call up, let's see if he is more than just a AAAA player

 

I wasn't sure if they would thinking they might want to keep the GR chemistry going:

Maybe a fresh start does him some good, I don't think the Wings will miss him much

stl and detroit recycle the others' roster dregs every year.

Future landing spot for Ras?

I believe that wraps up the Red Wings’ 2018 draft class, which on draft day looked golden.

It's a real shame Otto Kivenmaki had that wild head injury, I thought they had found something there.  But ya....with hindsight that draft was absolutely awful woof.

Zadina didn't have the brains or speed for the NHL.  Joe Veleno has no brains.  McIsaac got hurt then was out of the equation.  I guess Regula is with the Oilers now...  Gross.

I thought McIsaac was a steal. Maybe I was biased because of Team Canada world juniors hype and having a nice chat with his family on the streets of Vancouver.

Zadina could very occasional flash some good wheels, but then as soon as you saw it, it was gone again. Like there was a better skater in there but the cardio wasn't there to support it for more than a few seconds or something.

Wings down one after one. Goal scored on some very lazy defensive coverage by Raymond.

zadina ALWAYS shot the puck right at the goalie's chest or missed the net.  every damn time.

[lordstanley]

Leonard has had a few chances.

yup. Neither he nor Veleno had any shooting finesse.

[lordstanley]

ASP makes a lot of defensive mistakes but at least he is scoring points. 1-1.

Isles tie it after DeBrincat had given the Wings the lead. 2-2 with 6 minutes to go in the 3rd.

DeBrincat gives the Wings a late lead!

On a power play goal. The replay didnt look like much of a penalty on Larkin but we'll take it.

1st is good.

ESPN has a non-paywalled story on the Hughes trade to the Wild.

You almost wonder if as good as Quinn is, if you get him signed you might have second thoughts about taking on the drama that will come when the brothers become FA's and the pressure is on to bring them together, maybe when there isn't actually a productive fit. It's the kind of thing that could become a soap opera for what ever team has any of the brothers at that point.

Sorokin just wasn't using his head.
