Riley!!!! Nice play weiss

[GoWings1905 2,694]

Weiss does a lot of good things for the few shifts he receives per game.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Sheahan!

Love that they scored during the premature bronx cheer for Howard by the Wild fans.

[derblaueClaus 1,668]

Riley !!! Maybe we should play Weiss more....

[KATIEBARTHEDOOR24 426]

I wonder what it would look like to see Detroit has some sustained offensive pressure. Seriously, what does that look like?

Ever seen the Wings of the 90's. Ya it may have been that long

Weiss does a lot of good things for the few shifts he receives per game.

He also turns the puck over a ton. It's what makes him so frustrating.

The guy cannot hang onto the puck under any sort of pressure. But when he has time he makes nice plays.

[CaliforniaWingsFan 464]

Woo! Good job Weiss and Sheahan.

This may sound mean and unfair, but the NHL needs to step in here.

We are an original 6 team and generate better ratings and attendance than Ottawa. The league needs to go out of its way to ensure that we make the playoffs.

Big Errection standing tall there.

Dekeyser's pretty great with that stick.

[GoWings1905 2,694]

Good period overall. Another costly turnover, but the Wings played pretty well at even strength. Two more like that and they should be fine.

[Franzine 739]

It's nice having a player in the lineup who isn't lost in the offensive zone. I'm referring to Stephen Weiss.

[CaliforniaWingsFan 464]

Does anyone else get slightly irritated with the Pulkcannon? He takes way too long to wind up, so his shots just get blocked every single time.

[kipwinger 8,524]

Weiss is scoring at a 40+ point pace, despite playing fewer 5 on 5 minutes than anybody (except Cleary) on the team. Too bad he hasn't "earned" more icetime.

That period was meh. But we got better during the second half which sounds like the Wings we knew from before the slump. Jimmy looking good out there so far. That goal certainly wasn't on him. LGW !

[MrazekFanBoy 223]

Bad turnover leads to a weak goal, Sheahan gets us right back in it tho #GoWings

[KATIEBARTHEDOOR24 426]

Who is this Weiss everyone is referring too? Lol

He's the Keyser Soze of the Detroit Red Wings.

Defense matters, especially to Babs. He's had some cringe worthy giveaways, including one earlier in the game. He's not a kid and doesn't put up enough points on a consistent basis to overlook that.

Weiss scored? You know what that means?

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.

[GoWings1905 2,694]

Ottawa up 3-0 already. Might be a good idea to win this game.
