Weirdos. Damn straight. [falls, breaks hip]

Prolly. It's a Saturday night so it could just be that people are out.

Frank Nelson Is A Team Player

I was hoping he got a piece of it. Alas...

GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boys, get the puck into the o-zone and then shoot the puck at the net. This isn't hard. You don't need two forwards behind the net all the time. PP

One of those games where we seem to be doing a lot but never really accomplish anything. Gonna need to pick it up in the 3rd.

So far! Hopefully I didn't just jinx it...

What is motm? I don't speak Canadian.

End of 2nd. Wings lead 1-0.

PP

End of 1st. Wings lead 1-0.

Late-period PK. Clutch stick from Hronek there.

We'll soon find out... Zadina is going to score a lot of goals from that spot.

PP We look good early. Surreal, isn't it?

BERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very recently. I think yesterday. Ericsson's hurt.

LGRW!

Sad!

Leave Grapes out of this.

Hopefully being forced to learn this lesson now will save him some future headaches and heartache at the NHL level. Larkin hit a brick wall and has had to work really hard at growing his game while also being a 1C on a bad NHL team. Took Datsyuk multiple NHL seasons to become *Datsyuk*. Took Tarasenko multiple NHL seasons to become *Tarasenko*. Took Franzen a couple years to become *The Mule*. Took Yzerman half his career to become *Two-Way Steve*. Cleary didn't put it all together until he'd basically crashed out of the league like a chump and was gifted a chance at redemption. Zetterberg couldn't do this when he was 20:

I think Blashill has it right: Zadina isn't bigger than anyone and he isn't faster than anyone, so he's had to learn how to be smarter than everyone. That means creating offense in ways that are new to him and in some cases probably counterintuitive.

Fake News; it's been raining here for four straight days now. Well, ok, it snowed a bit yesterday. Point is, the sun has ghosted me. It's like Seattle, minus the rampant degeneracy and cultural decay and nose rings. Thing is, he's always been a low-key solid two-way player and a low-key solid forechecker. I've been saying so since before we'd even drafted him. That's how I know mackel is straight trolling; saying Zadina doesn't play defense and cheats all over the place is like saying Tyler Bertuzzi is too soft.

He's been one of our best players. Eye test says so. Standard stats say so. Fancy stats say so. Y'all see Czechbro rollin'. Y'all hatin'.
