Don't worry, i'm here. I know you were all waiting.

End of 2nd. 1-1. This is a winnable game.

Welcome back, Vanek. He set that up... way to go Baby Bert!

Some heroic shotblocking in that sequence, no doubt. But, all things considered, that's very much a mismatch.

Get the damn puck and you won't have to block those shots.

Lil Tooooozzzz!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

nice

I can't wait until someday when some defensemen named Joe McAwesome is cashing in on all the chances DeKeyser misses. Great minds

Of course some noob named Forsberg Chewbacca Eric Karlsson scores. Are the Wings allowed the power plays?

Shoot. the. f***ing. puck.

That's ok, we have to be down by 2....

Larkin too...A few half empty net opportunities were missed.

Hmmm, Howard = average. Best take ever.

Drink. More. Ovaltine.

Red Wings having fun again, own best record in NHL since Oct. 27 [NHL.com]

I'm kinda with you to be perfectly honest. Kid rode a hot streak into the draft. His peers in the top 5 of his draft class are massively outperforming him besides Barret Hayton (lmao) Zadina's foot speed is not great. His decision making in the cycle is questionable. And his defense is nothing to be admired. However his ability to beat defenders with his stick skills and beat goalies with his shot are very good. He needs to adapt and learn to do those things at a new speed. The pro speed. Improving his foot work and adding weight would be huge for him. And he's only 18 or whatever so he should be able to accomplish this. My primary concern is the decision making. His ability/instincts to beat you one on one are superb, but his ability to see the ice and anticipate creative plays leaves me wanting. And this is a team sport. He needs to improve that, which i think is harder to improve than the aforementioned skills. Maybe when he learns our systems better this will improve (I hope). My biggest fear is that he is a trigger-man only (one-dimensional) and will not be able to drive play on his own. Right now, for me, he his Hudler+ If he can be a bigger stronger Hudler who does not fear the dirty areas or have off ice issues, we got a good player on our hands. I think he maxes out at Hossa and bottoms out at Hudler during his Detroit tenure. Obviously Hudler during Detroit tenure would be a slight disappointment based on his draft position, but still a valuable player. 18 is young, lets see how he goes. Cholowski also struggled after being drafted.
