I think we can be at the top of the division. defense has great depth for us. plus we are a young team and fast and can't be pushed around unlike the wings/ habs for example. Plus IMO, we have a world class coach. he makes mistakes but Randy is like everyone else.

wings play a puck control game and the don't get intimidated. we have to out skate them and minimise the shots against than we have a chance to beat them.

penalties will kill us vs the wings.

We don't play a puck control game so that's fine, the two styles will clash. Penalties didn't kill us last year... in fact we were top 3 in the league in PK i think we'll be fine...

You might want to check Leafs v/s Wings record in recent years. We'll do just fine.

We are pretty close head to head. In recent years, and historically too.

Not to mention the fact that we have a couple of pretty good goaltenders.

Did the Sens score a pp goal last game? If not, we haven't had one scored on us all preseason.

I live in Detroit, and if the Wings win this upcoming preseason game tomorrow, god forbid the Winter Classic, I'll never hear the end of it.

Bold prediction: Wings miss the playoffs this season.

Buffalo did IIRC, or Ottawa not sure

 

[Pyrophorus]

I thought Buffalo's was after the penalty ended, possibly.

Codey Franzone baby.

So happy to keep Alfie in our division, always a pleasure to play against him.

Will get our chance to boo it up on Saturday.

Franson - "I'm actually going to get a couple exhibitions game in to."

Only 2 pre-season games.
