He's obviously putting the work in and the skill is obviously there. And he's playing top line minutes against other teams best players and isn't even remotely close to getting caved in. As basically rookie. It's lazy of you to just look at his offensive production and say "muh player is teh bust" . I have no horse in this race and I called his play s*** when it was s***. But I call it like I see it. The kid is playing well.

Things are clearly, finally, headed in the right direction. Not sure what mess you speak of. Almost all bad contracts are off the books, Yzerman has insane cap flexibility going forward, he has stockpiled picks, had two good drafts to stock the prospect pool, and has used cap space to take on contracts for more picks. The right moves are being made and the team is playing their asses off every game. They are literally on a 9-7-1 run. With this roster. It's almost as if the team is well coached as well. The Buffalo Sabres are a mess. The Detroit Red Wings are not.

Hughes, Power, or the goalie!

Kane scores shorthanded. CHI leads 1-0
