Truth is Wallinder and Edvinsson may not have had stand out performances because they both got in late and may have been really jet legged.
Also the fact that the airlines screwed up their luggage and lost their hockey equipment. Red Wings had to run out and buy them all new gear. Always difficult when wearing stiff gear that is not broken in and you might not be comfortable in it yet. (Especially skates and gloves)
I’m not buying the narrative they simply
didn’t care because it was a practice scrimmage 3x3 and they are so much better than everyone that they decided to mail it in.
Nah I think that would be small indictment on them as competitors. And I wouldn’t go there.
They flew all the way across the world to appear In the camp. Why would you not put your best foot forward in whatever, drill, exercise, scrimmage and try and get the most out of the experience. Practice how you play the games.
They had some legit issues. I doubt they were intentionally dogging it though.
