for a game where the flu was running rampant, two players were called us just in case, and you were trailing by 2 goals with 2 minutes to go - it’s a relief the Wings managed to steal a point. They should’ve gotten two with Lindgren being largely incapacitated in the shootout but it is what it is

Seider at 18:59 of TOI through 2 periods…he’s going to push 28 minutes tonight from the looks of it

“Travis Hamonic not on the bench here”

That’s great from Ovi immediately calling for the whistle when he saw Hamonic was cut

finally it’s done

Wings are blatantly milestone hunting on these PPs

This game has “punk test” vibes for Detroit

i laugh a bit because this game has started the exact opposite of how Wings games have gone in years past:

Wings dominate play but give up a goal on the opposition’s only chance thus far. It’s generally gone the other way over the last few years

I love it when @shaynagoldman.bsky.social decides to use her brainpower and writing skills on the Red Wings

What the best/worst case scenarios look like for (Luke Hughes and) Simon Edvinsson’s development

What’s the future best and worst case for Luke Hughes and Simon Edvinsson?
Taken two picks apart in the 2021 draft, the defensemen are trending opposite ways. What do player comps have to say about future outlook?

Good question - my understanding based on how the contract is structured on PuckPedia is that this would NOT be subject to the 35+ rule because the AAV is the same year-over-year and there is no signing bonus. This was a new rule change added in the 2020 MOU
Not that the difference in cap hit would matter, but this is also a 35+ contract, correct?

I think this is maybe one year too long but otherwise think this is fine. He’s been a good veteran mentor, skates well, plays physical, and I think is a reasonable #4/#5 guy that’s being asked to play a little above his means right now

One thing to watch - Larkin’s not taking these faceoffs. Makes me wonder if something’s up like last year when he had an upper body injury and was limiting his faceoffs

that is an absurd find by Mo Seider

Without actually calculating, im gonna guess this is the most minutes featuring a D on his offhand this season by any team
