Seems like they are on a winning streak- no injuries and playing well better than everyone expected
5$ is 5$Yes, and I know Pizza. Lol.
I know we started strong last year. But I still wanna point out, weve only allowed 1 goal each game so far. Quite impressive.
He's a turnover machinemanson looks awful so far
Just like last yearManson has sucked so far this year
It's unbelievable hes a young power forward coming off a great season. In addition to being one of the only muscle on a small soft team.
I think wed like to see Ritchie use his skating, he had 1 hit last night. Ritchie is most effective when hes playing physical.I’ve said it many times on here, and to other fans too. Power Forwards take a long time to develop and to come into their own. Look at how long Maroon was in the minors before he made the jump to the main team. Ritchie and his skating is (arguably) better than Maroon, but yet Maroon was able to get a free pass around here.
That strip by Getzlaf that led to the goal...man. How many times has he done that in his career? He's never been Selke-level good, but I've always felt like his defense has been underrated around the game just because he lacks some speed and quickness to really keep up with the elite skaters and give them fits. But he makes up for it with good positioning and smart pressuring and he always has an active stick. And as long as Dallas keeps limiting his workload, he shouldn't fade late in games.
Getz being kept well under 20 minutes a game has made him look a couple years younger IMO. A lot of the team looks like they're a little looser, playing with more energy and passion, but Getz is extremely noticeable. I'm really happy with him so far this year.
I don't know that I'd say "great" season. Definitely improved from previous years, but not what I'd consider great.It's unbelievable hes a young power forward coming off a great season. In addition to being one of the only muscle on a small soft team.
Guhle is definitely soft.The only guy on this team I'd actually call soft is Fowler. Maybe Terry, but he hasn't been involved enough at this stage. Most guys on this team have a chippiness to their game and aren't afraid to mix it up or take a hit. You have to have some edge if you want to make it in this league anymore. Just because we don't have a goon with no actual hockey skills running around looking to start **** doesn't mean they're pushovers out there.
Guhle was throwing crosschecks at the guy in the crease the entire time the Wings were on that delayed penalty at the end of the second. He doesn’t avoid contact, and that’s not the only time I’ve seen him being chippy trying to clear the crease.Guhle is definitely soft.
He had a great check on a guy with the puck behind the net in the second last night as well.Guhle was throwing crosschecks at the guy in the crease the entire time the Wings were on that delayed penalty at the end of the second.
