Great hustle by Vanek on the back check there.

Phaneuf with a dirty hit to the back of Athanasiou. At least they called it and AA seems all right. Ring up another PP goal.

Keep it going, boys. Good kill of the carryover penalty.

Sweet, can you spare a dram?

Quality, not quantity, my friend. . BTW, I got an email from The Macallan distillery asking if I wanted to put in for a chance to buy a bottle of their limited edition 40 year release. £5,000 purchase price. I had to pass.

Further proof that Minnesota is a cesspool? What would centcougar, the troll at the time of the Suter signing have to say about that, I wonder?

Good first period. Keep the pressure when you come out for the second, boys!

Wings need two more. Then we can say Ottawa has the Hamburglar but the Wings have Five Guys (do they even have Five Guys in Michigan or is it just an east coast chain?)

Had to help my daughter with something. Looks like no Fershweiler coaching the PP is a good thing.

PP wings. Hopefully the Post-Ferschweiler PP will be better at home than last season. Let's Go Wings!

Mabus, maybe Suter will see Vanek rejuvenated in Detroit and demand a trade, lol. I almost feel sorry for Pulk that he got picked up by the Wild.

What a feed by Hank.

I had a feeling Vanek had something to prove. Helm scores on a breakaway!,,

Ericsson fought Phaneuf? How did that go?

First blood is ours! I got home at a good time. Looks like Green from Vanek.

Vanek > Pulkkinen

At a rehearsal so I won't be able to post much. Let's Go Wings!

Good links, Dabura. I had read the ELC article earlier.

I was disappointed Frk was claimed, and I think Pulkkinen will be as well. Poor asset management by Holland. I think other GMs know he has a logjam and with all the historical success the Wings have had, they are playing hardball to force more assets to be lost to waivers. Color me optimistic, but I am still hoping to see him pull off a trade to land Trouba or Fowler (maybe a three way). Hoping, but sadly, not expecting. I almost wouldn't be surprised if bringing back Adam Almqvist was his answer to the defensive issues, only to put him on waivers the next day.

At first glance on the iPad, it looks great. Plus, no interstitial for tapatalk anymore, which is a plus. Thanks for all of your hard work, Matt!

Howard will be hard pressed to have a mask as sweet as the one Petr had made. I have a hunch the customization job will be decidedly average.

I am still playing a lot of Division. I have two toons with gear score 235 and 241 plus a pretty well geared level 14 that will one hit kill people with a sticky bomb if you haven't glitched high ends. I went through Quantum Break when it was on sale and enjoyed it. If anybody gets the Division and needs help power leveling or running the underground DLC, hit me up.

Don't forget time lost due to lockouts. That would have added to point totals as well.

One thought about the shot generation against Glendening or any other defender (I agree the stats given thus far are quite damning). Is there a stat that is a derivative of Corsi regarding number of quality shots or high danger shots allowed as opposed to perimeter shots that are theoretically much lower chance of actually scoring? Wouldn't it be better to allow 3 or 4 low danger shots than one or two shots that are gimme goals unless the goalie pulls a miracle save out of his butt? I would be curious to see if that affects his relative rating to other defenders, though the goals against figure likely renders the point moot anyway.

No Peter Ing?
