I don't see enough of the Flames to know for sure but don't forget he hit 57 points on the Wings. Last two seasons for the Flames he had 52 points and was on pace for that number in the shortened season. I'm guessing his jump up in points has a lot to do with playing on the top line with Gaudreau.

Great job by Howard in the shootout.

Holy crap. Hands of stone scores!

Ottawa Caps tied 3-3

hit the damn net please. Make him make a save.

gotta hit the net when your team is changing Kronwall.

I hope Wings get a makeup PP in this horribly officiated game.

When someone pins the puck to the boards like that trying to kill the clock, crosscheck the s*** out of them.

Seeing the replay of the last PP goal by the Wild, how do you let Parise sit in front of the net untouched? Kronwall was playing behind him, floating to try and also cover the guy behind him. I don't know who the Wings player was on the other side of Parise but someone has to commit to playing the body on him. Good lord. I could redirect a puck from there if everyone promises not to touch me.

Great backcheck by Pulkkinen

I can't decide who's stupider, the Wings for having 6 guys on the ice that long, or the officials for not noticing it for so long.

Some shifts it's like they're trying not to make the playoffs.

the ref from behind Dekeyser calls him for supposedly closing his hand on the puck??

two major hooks by the Wild on scoring chances by the Wings, no call.

Nice pass by Z , great shot by Nyquist.

Man that was a bullet by Tatar. Stupid crossbar.

Nice kill. Dangerous drop pass by Kronwall.

Agreed. He was ahead of the puck. That one on Kronwall looked pretty questionable though.

The Wings problem hasn't been scoring lately though as much as it's been brutal turnovers and missed defensive coverage.

I never really watched Weiss in Florida but he was so soft on the puck in a recent game I commented that I don't get how the guy was ever a #2 center. Then someone pointed out he was even a #1. I just don't get it.

Only if you're using the faulty logic that more ice time automatically equals more scoring, and without the puck ending up in your own net.

So it sounds like he's being utilized correctly. Especially given how often he turns the puck over.

You're using a pretty meaningless points projection and ignoring the 2 minutes per game Weiss spends on the PP. I honestly had no opinion of Weiss when he came here and didn't know what the deal was when he couldn't crack the lineup. But seeing him get to play a good chunk of games, the guy is a turnover machine. If someone actually timed puck possession, I bet Weiss would be at or near the bottom for forwards. Like I said, when he has time or space he can make nice plays. But as soon as he gets pressured, that puck is headed the other way.

Dekeyser's pretty great with that stick.
