Trading berggren would be a big mistake, trade a sprong perron who wont be back anyways. Using him so we can pretend we have a chance at the playoffs would be beyond foolish
I think they need to play Lyon and Reimer more. Yet with Lyon hurt, that doesn’t help. Lyon saved the panthers season last year, so he should be playing more then husso at this point in my opinion.
Trading berg would be stupid. You can easily trade Perron, Fischer and give him room to play.
Kane is far too early to dismiss for sure.
Rumors floating around on the wings subreddit that Larkin may have a far more severe injury then we've been let on. Not sure I buy it, but its making its rounds.
Patience , Detroit , patience : y0u've got the goods !
Tuff week boys Larkin is the hart beat of this team.
if Kane scores 12 goals it would be a miracle
Make no mistake, Patrick Kane is not a mistake for this team. Just very unfortunate timing have both Larkin, Compher, Perron and Kostin out right around when he started. Give it a few more games and let’s revisit this topic
Larkin is back tonight! LGRW
Blaming kane for his linemates not catching his passing would be laughable. (People are doing it though)
Signing Kane is and has been great! We need our Captain back and watch us go!!!! LGRW!!!!
Evan kostin was sick that's why he wasn't in
My former player that redwings miss rn is flip hronek
We’ve made a drinking game out of how often Matt says “And ahh” We get drunk quick, LOL
Gonna be another disappointing season. Raz is a waste. Husso can't catch a cold much less a pick. Come one on one, guaranteed goal for the other team. Your captain is a joke for wearing the C. Coaching is a joke. Hell, if this is your GMs plan, it sucks n I feel bad for you Detroit fans. You have the players to be a contender, but they play like they're NHL retarded
Gudas' beard hurt Kostin 😭
