FinRedWing 172 Report post Posted September 24, 2008 Ville Leino looked excellent in the scrimmages, always around the puck and defensively responsible Atta boy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Booster313 138 Report post Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) I had the opportunty to watch a couple days of practice this past weekend. I agree Larrson looked great. So did Howard though. McCollum was good but looked like he had to work a bit harder to make saves. D-Mac gets the edge over Downey because of his softer hands and great hockey sense. Lenio is awesome from what I saw, I would be surprised if he didn't crack this roster at some point this year.

Good to hear... if you don't mind, care to elaborate on that a little? I haven't seen much on him besides some fuzzy youtube videos and some redwingscentral articles so I would love to know a bit more about his style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kira 451 Report post Posted September 24, 2008 Honestly, I really like Daniel Larsson. He's got good hands and he did quite well at camp. He's got a lot of potential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kind of sounds like Hudler...except for the offensive instincts part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't been able to follow hockey much lately, but from what I've heard, it seems like Larsson really is our goalie of the future. Ideally, the Wings can get two showcase both of them extensively in the NHL and possible drive up the trade value for one or the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted September 24, 2008 Kind of sounds like Hudler...except for the offensive instincts part. True, but for some reason, at least for right now, I see him as a poor man's Recchi to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't seen much on him besides some fuzzy youtube videos and some redwingscentral articles so I would love to know a bit more about his style. Sure! More than once he skated through the neutral zone like he had the puck on a string. He wasn't the fastest skater on the ice but he had some pretty slick moves, He also has a pretty quick wrist shot. One one play he entered the zone with the puck did a 360 around one defenseman and shot between anothers legs. Remember when Datsyuk first came into the league and everyone was amazed with his puck and stick tricks...that's what he reminds me of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ericsson is really the only young guy there and even he will be 25 later this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
servo 15 Report post Posted September 24, 2008 The Suspense is KILLING ME. I can't wait for this season to begin. I think Downey will end up spending more time (much more time) in GR than McCarty. The competition for this 4th line is unbelievable!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
