Prob'ly. "Hope for the best, expect the worst." In fairness to Hronek tho, he did manage to put up three points in his six-game stint with the Wings. And certainly he's been lights-out for the Griffins this season.

HYPE!

Last I heard, Green and Ericsson were questionable for this game. Notes: Wings working to get power play going again [DetroitRedWings.com]

Veleno is lazy and he sucks.

PREACH!

Limited scoring upside! Career middle-sixer!

I guess I'd go with 2020. The Hughes HYPE! is real, but I haven't seen anyone dare to suggest he could be Crosby-good. Meanwhile, Lafreniere's already being saddled with the Crosby comparison. Granted, I think that's largely down to 1) Lafreniere playing for the same QMJHL team that Crosby played for, and 2) Canadian hockey media being Canadian hockey media. But there's no denying the kid is an enormous talent. 42 goals and 80 points in 60 regular-season games last season (and 4 goals and 7 points over 7 playoff games), as a QMJHL rookie. This season: 17 goals and 54 points in 31 games. They're not Crosby numbers (Crosby put up 135 points in his QMJHL rookie season), but they are 2018-19 Joe Veleno numbers. Think about how happy we are as Wings fans to see Veleno producing like he is and then consider how good a kid would have to be to put up the same kind of numbers before his NHL draft season.

HYPE! LGRW!

I fell asleep after the third Caps goal lol

Yup. Caps take the early lead. Pretty good shift there.

Prooooooobably gonna wanna limit the penalties tonight.

LET'S GOOOOOOOO

For old times' sake. That is some weapons-grade HYPE! right there!

Good, someone got it.

Prob'ly.

HYPE! LGRW!

Thanks as always for the GDTing, fam. Wings @ Caps tomorrow night. I might have to miss the game. We'll see! Night!
