Good bounce back win. I expect wins against Col and Phx. Hopefully we can go into Pittsburgh hot.
I swear, if that were to happen.... I'd be on board with the Holland bashing.
Depends on who he gets traded for...
So for todays: Scientific BinCookin Defensive Scoring System: SBDSS.
I was more lenient with Checks and X's today
E 8C; 1X
DDK 6C; 1X

Smith 4C; 2X

March 2C; 3X
Overall a great game from our defender's today.
Those who stood out all game for me were Ericsson and DDK. Kronwall and Smith also had good games. Quincey was just so subtle that he really was quietly good, which I am totally OK with. Marchenko had a decent game, a little nervous, he got a few mistakes at the beginning of the game, but was solid thereafter.

I don't know much about DeKeyser but it seems like he's a guy you could develop a mutually beneficial relationship with. I can't remember what the shenanigans were during his previous contract negotiation but it seems like he could be a Red Wings player for a long time at rates that could be reasonable. I'm not going to say "home town discount" but...
DeKeyser would be wise to stick around, not just for the series of contracts he'll get out of loyalty, but he's also a fantastic fit for this current group. Look at how nicely Ericsson was rewarded. He'll get that, at least, and continue to get chances on the powerplay.
He would hook us the hell up if he only signed for that much. I figure around 5-5.5 for 6 years when his deal is up. But even then that might be too nice to the org. Figure his next deal if short term is around 4-4.5. But once he hits UFA he is gonna hurt to resign unless he does us a solid.
Mark Staal set the market already this year to around 5.5-6 million for second pairing d. Boychuk will be getting at least 7. It is not gonna be cheap in 2-3 years when he is ufa. The raising prices for 2nd pairing d's has been .5 million a year and last year was 5 to 5.5. If DDK is a established #2 when he hits UFA it would not surprise me if he was around 8.5-9 million per year.
Yep, DDK is worth Crosby money.
Seriously, though, I wonder if the collapse of the ruble will start to drive down the rate of salary increase over the next couple of years. Are there enough NHL caliber players in the KHL for this to have any effect on NHL salaries?

I missed the actual game so just watched the Condensed Version on GCL.
Every play I saw Dekeyser and Quincey on they really had excellent plays and saved a few goals. Those two have really stood up.
Did they give a Pity Star to Smith? I know he got the goal but did he do much else?
How did Marchenko go in particular?
I was really happy to see Tats but his body on the line by trying to block a shot later in the game.

DDK and Q both were solid tonight, DDK had some very nice offensive passes, setting people up, or solid clearing passes to leave our zone. Quincey played an all around solid game.. Again i petition his name be reset to KQ instead of his 3 letter moniker.
Marchenko looked a little shaky to start, but ended just fine the last 2 periods. He didn't get alot of playing time, but he looked ok. With his playing time being low, we will need more games to properly evaluate him, mostly we played so well today, that very little pressure was put on the D in general.
No pity star to Smith... He had a good game. Scored a sweet goal, I believe it was the game winner? So thats probably the reason for the star. But mostly he had a good game.
