As good as he needed to be, nothing tremendous but it wasn't needed. Dropped 2 kinda fast after a 3 goal lead but damage control took over and we were fine. 1 puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Very good game, I was at the 4th row seats and got a first hand look at some of our new players. Steve Ott is a pretty good penalty killer and makes that 4th line better. He's better than Miller and Glendening imo. Sheahan sucks. Probably the softest player on our squad, he's a cancer to our top line. Harsh I know but that was the general consensus around where I was sitting. Tatar looks off too. But Nyquist, Larkin, AA looked great. Thought defense played pretty well too. Overall pretty clean with minimal lapses. Z... looks different. There were times I felt like he could have made the extra effort but just held back, wouldn't even attempt to skate hard. Either he's just not good anymore or he's purposely holding back to maintain reserves. We'll find out I guess. Great game, keep this up and we'll be fine. Fix the weaknesses and we have potential to do some damage. Edited October 26, 2016 by kickazz 1 puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jesusberg 1,256 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 The Athanasiou goal really halted Carolina's momentum (obviously). I was worried when Stalberg hit Green and Ott took the offsetting penalty. Feels like the Wings tend to fall apart in situations like that, but they pushed through. Impressed with this team right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 Missed this due to a rehearsal, thanks for the game details. Glad to see Larkin popped a couple. Sorry I wasn't around to post the Fonz pic for the AA goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juklitz 85 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 What´s wrong with Sheahan? Not able to win a battle, not able to play the puck in reasonable way... 3on1 situation and pass on #15? Ward was just safe in that case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 5 in a rowwww!! Looooooking goooooddd!! Missed the game, but it didn't sound all that exciting from the comments. Vanek on the board again! Larkin def needed those goals, let's hope this gets him going. AA rounding it out. Kid plays hard, he needs to stay in the lineup, as does Ott, who is doing great job on the PK. He's the most well rounded player on the fourth line. If anyone sits when Abby is back it should be Sheahan or Glenny (which won't happen, but hey). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like him, but I think swapping him for Abdelkader will have the least impact on the team at the moment, which is important considering how they're playing. 1 chaps80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a really good team, but panicking and making mistakes cost them a lot last season. Things are looking much, much better. 1 minute ago, Wheelchairsuperhero said: At this point I'm thinking Sheahan.

He's not looking too good right now. Sticking out a lot as a weak link on a team that's cruising along as a cohesive unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kliq 3,755 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 Good job boys! It's nice to see them play this well. Sure its only 7 games, but its a step in the right direction. Now when Abby comes back, lets put him in place of Sheahan, and then put Sheahan on the 4th instead of Miller or Ott. 3 krsmith17, e_prime and NerveDamage reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amato 3,210 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 So glad Larkin found the back of the net! His goal (not to mention that perfect pass from Z) and AAs were awesome. It's nice to see some good looking goals keep playing the way we have the past 5 and it's going to be a fun season.

kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Sheahan just doesn't cut it to pull the piano. There were times last night where Z and Tatar were doing more work in the corner battles. Idk why Sheahan just doesn't like pushing and shoving I guess. I hope Abby gets put back on the top line Wing position when he's back.
