Have to start cutting down on goals against, but I love this team's pluck

1. Raymond. Playing the best hockey of his young career. Looking dynamic.
2. Compher. Great all-around game.
3. Larkin. Brought the speed. Huge goal in the 3rd.

A lot unlucky. Thought Ras had a real strong game, despite some ripping on him. Good strength and good keep ins.

Ended up catching the last half of the game, will watch the rest tomorrow. Marchand can suck it.

 

[DamonDRW]

In every game we win Dylan is the best player. That actually sounds alarming for me.

Not alarming, but definitely worrisome.

Larkin
Perron
Compher

Hm Raymond

Goat Husso.

 

[lidstromiscool]

Raymond has been looking better and better. Looks like he took a step this season

Bitchiness on the bruins gt at peak levels

Then get it out of your head that Dylan Larkin is a 2C and it won’t alarm you. He’s Detroit’s best forward and leader.

About what? “Waaah, I thought the refs were supposed to help us go undefeated this year!”

Or,
“Waaah, how come we couldn’t get away with MORE headshots?!”

This! I was a bit down on him after last season but he looks like a much more dynamic player this season. He isnt exactly scoring at an insane clip (10p/12games) but he is winning board battles, backchecking more efficiently, and doing a lot of things that help tilt the ice in our favor. He has made me happy to admit I was mistaken in my judgement of him after last season.

I would like to see him switched with maybe Rasmussen to see if he could become more of a trigger man on a line where he is the best player. Also, Rasmussen’s big body may help give the top duo a little more space out there to do their thing. If it doesnt work, Lalonde can easily switch them back. Would be an interesting experiment…

I think the Bruin’s players are used to Detroit’s players just rolling over when they start with the physical/nasty/intimidation stuff. It has worked on them the last few years (see: back to back vs Ottawa last season for a perfect example). When our guys didnt roll over for a change, they were exasperated and did a lot of dumb stuff.

Side note: Seider may need to learn how to fight if he is gonna keep pissing people off, haha. Not that I think him fighting regularly is a good idea, as it takes our best player off the ice for far too long, but it would be cool if he threw down once in a while.

When Seider was in Grand Rapids he stated that he wanted to get into a fight in an interview.

As long as he’s fighting stars I’m ok with it. No Reaves level guys.

 

[norrisnick]

Mo needs to keep gloves on. Keep pissing people off, but don't oblige them with a fight. The Kronwall special.

If it's with Jack Hughes or someone his size maybe. Otherwise no thank you Mo.

I never said he is not 1C. The problem is that if he gets injured we are again a lottery team.

 

[lidstromiscool]

I don't mind him getting into one or maybe two fights if he's sticking up for someone. He's to valuable for anything more than that

Lottery? Doubtful. Probably not getting into the playoffs without him though.

You can go down the list of anlmost every team and say that if they’re missing player X then that team isn’t making it.

Nah... the school of Jarkko Ruutu is what he needs. Keep pissing people off, send them to the box.

We are talking about 35 years old third round pick

If hatred were rational, t'would be no fun at all.

 

[Lampedampe]

Raymond
Walman
Larkin

I think it's time to move Raymond to another line. He's doing great, but I think he can look even better being the go to guy on a line.

 

[Ezekial]

How about we keep him in the situation he's doing well in?
