Good thing HF Red Wings section wasn't allowed to trade Rasmussen for a bucket of pucks.

I hope that line can keep it up, they were fun to watch. Any stat guys have their offensive zone time? They really didn't get a ton of minutes but curious what their possesion was compared to the other lines.

Yea we thoroughly dominated tonight. Gave up a few chances but man once we get some more chemistry and get things clicking we will be blowing out teams.

If Vrana scored on that chance he had while falling in the 1st periodthis game probably becomes a blowout.

 

[Preposterone]

Just bought my round-trip flight back to Detroit in June.

See you boys at the parade

We’ll plan a board trip to cedar point or kings island if we don’t make it that far

Vrana - Copp - Perron line didn't work at all.

Larkin line was fine. Rasmussen too, and Veleno get something going.

But man, that 2nd one was poor.

Think it's time to try Raymond there.

Veleno and Kubalik drove the play on that fourth line. Zadina instead of Erne and that is a scoring line.

 

[bedtime20]

Was a bit disappointed by Husso in the preseason, but he won me back tonight. He looked like prime Vernon out there. Fantastic game by the Finn!

 

[izlez]

Even though the 2nd line was uninspiring, no one was bad or had me yelling at my tv. That was refreshing and good to see, especially after I really questioned some of our signings (Maatta)

It’s one game, but it’s a nice start

BERGGREN

BERGGREN!!!

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

IMO that 3rd line is about as much of an energy line as you can get and as a “4th” like they should run a scoring line

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Yeah, genuinely don't know why they sent down Berggren to keep Erne.

Because Erne is a 4th line grinder and Berggren is not. Because they already have a few guys who are in the “if you’re not going to play big minutes, you’re not going to be here”

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

They very easily can. Erne is basically a 13th forward, in my opinion. I'm adamantly against Zadina playing there, but a kid like Berggren would be good with that line. Or maybe in the near future a kid like Mazur.

Because Erne is a 4th line grinder and Berggren is not. Because they already have a few guys who are in the “if you’re not going to play big minutes, you’re not going to be here”

False. Erne does zero grinding because he can't skate fast enough to get in the corners with the opposition.

Agreed the second line wasn't great but since Copp has been hurt they haven't played together. I think they will be fine in a while.

 

[brett89]

nice start to the season
husso shutout!
soderbolm first goal and 5 sog!

soderbolm keeps this up and zadina is done
good fight between veleno and suter. i think veleno wins this. younger, cheaper, looks to score about same pace, and kills penalties

good job yzerman! see you guys tomorrow night!

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Shout out to Wings Goaltender Ville Husso 29 save performance 1,000 save percentage and 0.00 goals against. First career Wings shutout.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Ummmm “that’s not the first thing Jimmy did for me. Us goalies take care of each other…”.

Thank god we don’t have a r/wingsfanfics like the Canes do

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

6 point night for our 3rd line, Michael Rasmussen 1 goal 2 assists, Elmer Soderblom 1 goal and Oskar Sundqvist 2 assists. Keep it up boys.

100%.

3 or 4 times Rasmussen drove the net hard too. Guys on TSN said it 3 or 4 times that he’s just a different player than they’ve seen before.

People need to understand he lost almost 2 full development seasons. Covid and his 19 year old year where he was just too good to play in juniors but couldn’t play in the AHL.

Best thing they did was send him down for that year to play C at the pro level, cause he is a natural C. What LA needs to do with Byfield, and I think they are now.

Big guys just take longer. He’s only 23 still and he’s going to be a very good player. He stays healthy in that big body, he can be a force.

 

[Taswell]

What an exciting team you guys and gals have this year! Definitely going to be tuning in when my Isles aren't on! Good luck the rest of the way, might adopt you guys as my second team.

Their possession metrics were pretty f***ing good. Like, best on the team

 

[norrisnick]

Because Erne is a 4th line grinder and Berggren is not. Because they already have a few guys who are in the “if you’re not going to play big minutes, you’re not going to be here”

10min on the 4th line is way better for your development than getting trucked by a scrub in the minors.

 

[Bondurant]

Newsy and the new blood have invigorated the Wings. Low scoring affair for a bit tonight but not for lack of trying. When the big guns get fired up this team is going to roll.

I was able to catch a lot more than I thought I would. Missed a decent chunk of the 2nd due to a work situation I could not avoid. This is where ESPN+ earns lots of value for me. Can go back whenever I want for the replay to listen to Mickey's sweet voice and relive the action and experience what I missed.

Samwise Gagner is also on pace for 82 goals this season...

Don't know about offensive zone times, but I can quarantee it, it was the best Red Wings effort ever since I've been watching any advanced stats.

Period.

And I mean I have done it maybe since 2012. When we were last time good. Real gud. Of course there's some historical stats, and only 2007-08 team was able to play games like this.

That's the bar. 2007-08 team is the team what we should be always.

Puck luck was bad. We DOMINATED. It should have been 5-0 win.

It's a nice feeling to reborn as a fan. No tank feelings. Only feeling is the will to win every night. And this team gives the chance. The reall will came back. I was sure about it after the free agency, but maybe now, more people will understand how much better we are.

We are finally entering on a good era. Would you trust Yzerman?

I would.

Wings are good enough now to jettison an 82 goal scorer or two.

 

[Dotter]

I've always liked Rasmussen. He's not going to be a top 30 goal scorer in the league. But plays an important role and the type of guy you need to win championships. If he was drafted 80th overall, everyone would be ecstatic with his development thus far. I think people have unrealistic expectations and it's unfair to these young players.
