Both Copp and Suter have been very good on PK.Zadina has not been used at PK at all.
Last 15 games, PK averages:
1. Copp 2:24min
(2. Rasmussen 1:55min)
3. Larkin 1:42min
4, Suter 1:36min
(5. Erne 1:26min)
6. Sundqvist 0:26min
Quite sure the extra role falls on Sundqvist. Suter, Copp and Larkin have been the PK regulars.
Copp - Larkin
Suter - Sundqvist

This isn’t good. Week-to-week, that’s rubbish.The news on the Michael Rasmussen injured kneecap couldn’t be much worse for the Detroit Red Wings’ playoff hopes. “Out indefinitely,” Detroit coach Derek Lalonde said. “No time frame, but probably looks like a significant time frame for his return…We’ll know more probably in the next couple of days.”
The Detroit Red Wings don’t yet know if he will need surgery. They also aren’t yet sure if he’s done for the season. “But we will not see him anytime soon,” Lalonde said.
Seider is 3rd in the league in blocked shots.
And hands.We must protect his knees at all costs.
I don't want him to block shots.Seider is 3rd in the league in blocked shots.
Yet, isn't he close to league lead in blocked shots? I am pretty sure he is number one on our team at least.Both Copp and Suter have been very good on PK.
Basically I don't want our players to block shots, specially not Seider.
Turns out he is 3rd in the league and Chiarot is up there too.Yet, isn't he close to league lead in blocked shots? I am pretty sure he is number one on our team at least.
I believe he is 2 or 3 in the league. I think they mentioned it in the game vs bolts.Yet, isn't he close to league lead in blocked shots? I am pretty sure he is number one on our team at least.
Not that much but still blocked a lot it seems. About 1 every game on average.I don't want him to block shots.
Did Lidstrom ever block shots?
If you don't want him blocking shots, then the forward group needs to get more aggressive on defense so we limit the amount of shots taken against in games.I believe he is 2 or 3 in the league. I think they mentioned it in the game vs bolts.

Playing defence there will be at least one puck that hits you. So basically he never blocked shots.Not that much but still blocked a lot it seems. About 1 every game on average.

Good point.If you don't want him blocking shots, then the forward group needs to get more aggressive on defense so we limit the amount of shots taken against in games.
Only real way to do that is have our forwards be taking the blocked shots more so they don't have a chance to get to Seider's area, but then you are leaving your forwards exposed.
It is interesting that Chiarot on Seider are blocking most shot attempts, then again, they are playing on lines with the quality or skilled lines we have and they probably don't want to block the shots...versus a line like Veleno, Sunny, who would more likely block the shots then, let's say Raymond or Larkin.
Why don't you quote me?Seider is fine blocking shots, christ. The number of posts in recent days and weeks trying to advise Moritz Seider on what to do on the ice is pretty silly. Don't block shots. Don't lay down. Don't draw penalties. Don't do all the things that make you Mo Seider, Mo!
Just no.
The guy is special for, among other things, his creativity, his ingenuity, his IQ, his toughness, and his unconventional style. Just because Bert doesn't know how to block shots doesn't mean Mo Seider doesn't either.

Seider has to shoot more. He started to shoot more lately. Good.
Blocking shots, he is a defenceman so he will be blocking shots whether he wants or not. But he should block them smartly and not too many.

My only criticism of Seider blocking shots is when he tries to play goalie directly in front of his actual goalie and goes down trying to make a kick save.I had no specific poster in mind when I wrote that, it was a general reply to a number of posts I've read recently.
Seider is doing fine out there, he's good at blocking shots, and he shouldn't back off on that endeavor because some fear he'll get hurt. I just think it's weird how often, mainly in GDTs, I've seen posts advising Moritz Seider on how to play defense in the NHL lately.
I can recall him playing second goalie when things get super scrambly in the crease in the past. Without zeroing in on one case in particular, I don't have a problem with it. Not a ton of defenseman I would trust to do that, but Seider I trust. He's got the IQ and track record for me. Once the goalie is flopping around, he's half useless anyway. Kinda like the goalies on this forum half the time.My only criticism of Seider blocking shots is when he tries to play goalie directly in front of his actual goalie and goes down trying to make a kick save.
Its most likely outcome is screening the goalie, causing a deflection right in front of the goalie, or taking a puck to an exposed area because he has his leg and foot turned sideways. Several times I've also seen him unable to clear the rebound because he's down on the ice from the kick save and can't get to it.
