https://www.nhl.com/standings/2018/league 1 point ahead of NJ, 5 points ahead of Ottawa. That's how close we are to the very bottom. Basement HYPE! I thought he had a really good game, mostly in the second half. This might've been the first time I've watched him at the NHL level and thought to myself, "Damn, we might have a future top-line forward here." Easy to forget the kid's only 19. I also thought AA was outstanding. He's clearly working on holding the puck and making plays. I like that.

Points update: Larkin (2A) - 22 goals and 51 points thru 53 games Nyquist (1G) - 13 goals and 46 points thru 54 games Green (1A) - 4 goals and 20 points thru 32 games

Wings lose. We're now in the bottom three, baby! Tank is back on the menu!

Vanek (11) from Rasmussen (8) and Larkin (29) - VGK 4, DET 3

Took 60 minutes of trying to get Vanek a goal, but we finally did it. Mission accomplished, team.

That was AA's 12th goal of the night, in a just world.

lol. One of those nights when the puck just reguses to go in.

Looking at tonight's other games...this is probably a good night for us to lose in regulation. Basement teams getting some points.

Wings try to force a one-timer setup, Knights read it and intercept the pass, Knights score another goal off the rush. 2-4.

I'm ok with him being a "p*ssy" if it means he stops breaking his hands in fights.

Never had to battle hard for possession when he was young. One of the (dis)advantages of being bigger and more skilled than your peers as a kid.

Rasmussen (7) PPG from Nielsen (21) and Green (16) - VGK 3, DET 2

RASMUSSEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3-2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PP

End of 2nd. VGK 3 DET 1 Nah, full baby is Perry and Getzlaf kicking sticks into the boards.

AA could easily have five goals tonight lol

PP

Knights score, again. Off the rush, again. 1-3.

Knights score, take the lead.

AA's looked really good tonight. Draws a penalty. PP.

Knights even it up on the power play. 1-1.

End of 1st. Wings lead 1-0. SOG: VGK 4, DET 14. Good stuff.

That assist is Larkin's 50th point of the season, btw. PP No dice on the PP, but both units looked uncharacteristically good.
