Classy by the Wings to stay on the ice for Eddie.
Not sure if your broadcast is still showing it, but he's getting stretchered off the ice.

It's unreal. I can't recall seeing anyone so steady on the breakaway despite being so fast. Not even Datsyuk had this kind of execution. Maybe Bure? But I don't recall much of him. Was too young.
Yup. Don't even care about picking up points when I get to watch an exciting game where the kids produce.

I'm glad the Wings are battling it out until the bitter end. I hope we win out. We may draft lower, but hopefully the Hockey Gods will take that into consideration and we get a great player no matter where we pick.

Blashill deserves to be roasted for not playing Athanasiou late in games. Awful, awful coaching.

Tough to be super excited by the win when you see Lack down like that.
Liked the guys compete level, they have been playing hard even if they aren't playing for the high stakes they are used to.

AA so fast that a hit to the head like that is gonna hurt. Damn.
Great showing by who else, Mantha and AA. Good for them. Good for Tatar and Nyquist too.

I was worried Tatar and Nyquist wouldn't hit 40. Now they're poised to best last year's totals...Putting Z between them has done wonders. So has Tatar's impending contract negotiations.

SBNation has video of Lack being taken off the ice. He gives a thumbs up. Hopefully this is a precautionary measure and all is well.

Wings have selected the most awkward time to go on a roll. AA is on fire.

If we want to become competitive again we need players like AA and Mantha to become elite. They should both be playing 20 minutes a night and given every opportunity to succeed. If we win because of it, that's a good thing.

Well, we need someone to be elite. Doesn't have to be AA or Mantha. Given their age, it's not likely they'll ever reach the level we need them to be to be competitive. Usually you can tell by the time they're 22 if they're going to be elite or not.
That said they're both extremely competent players who would be welcome on most teams. And not in a grinding role, but in a role where they can make a difference.
Nope, I don't think there is.
There are other real good ones (Crosby, Mackinnon, Hoffman, Drouin, Eichel, Gaudreau, Kane) but I think AA is #2.
I honestly have no idea what kind of potential both AA and Mantha have. Looks like Mantha could score 40 at some point, I wonder if AA has 60+ point potential.
