Sebastian Cossa was the storyline on Monday night, winning his NHL debut in the shootout after coming in to relieve Ville Husso. But with two days off following the thrilling comeback win, is it a guarantee we see him again on Thursday? If he does play, and he plays well, how much more runway does he get? Also Joe Veleno is getting scratched more and more, is he being pushed out of the lineup? #LGRW

Husso is what, 0 and 7 this season? Who cares if he "plays well" at times when he can't win games at the end of the day. Cossa should at least get a shot, let him start the next game after that preformance.
This is a horrible program, you guys him & haw on everything.Just give an opinion…Geez
Question trading away a goalie? This past year Wings have given away players! Noting in return! 🏒
lets hope atleast 1 of the goalies this team has can stop pucks and help win games?! holy💩🤷♂️🫢😫👍
Trading the very good contract of Talbot would be super dumb unless they get a good player/prospect/pick.
I have slipped up saying Hossa when talking about Husso and Cossa so many times…
Unless trades happen, there's no way for Cossa to play his way onto the team. The cap matters, and it's for the owners' benefit, not the team or the fans.
Reminder: Husso is 0-6, almost 0-7 if it wasn’t for the ROOKIE GOALIE stepping in to save the game. Give Cossa the start. Even if the game’s a loss, a goalie with no NHL experience playing like shit is a lot more justifiable than the highest paid goalie on our team playing like shit
I don’t trust that our coach will make any decision that makes his team better in the long term. It’ll be status quo until he’s out of here. I would love to see Cossa start next game.
Will Cossa stay if he olays well. Simple answer, No. No chance in hell, he will be sent down as soon as a goalie gets healthy. Id like to see Cossa stay but thats not how this organization does things.
Talbot isn't that good…sorry
Joe Veleno is as useless as Compher, Copp, Petry, Husso..
dumpster 🔥😞
Yes, thumbs down fart sound to the Yankees, indeed.
Carry on with Cossa. Give him a chance as well as a few other young players in GR.
What is Veleno's role on the team? He isn't young anymore, he isn't a shut down forward, he isn't a big bruising forward, he has no role on the team. Flog him at the deadline.
I mean Stevie has drafted 2 centers out of his 5 top ten picks. Clearly Veleno is not part of our plan, they're seemingly growing him to most likely sell. Not time yet tho, he's worth it to keep the depth
Start Husso if he's ready and try to move him to a Goalie starved team. If Talbot or Lyon are going to be back by Friday, send Cossa back to GR with the confidence boost knowing he belongs and knows what he has to work on. If he gets lit up against Philly that could fester.. if he does well, then we're in a position we can't move Husso with good enough value in return, so we are in a bad asset position. If Husso has a bounce back game against Philly, we may be able to get him off the books without retaining salary clearing a better path to bring Cossa back up when Lyon or Talbot are injured. Husso's performance put a sizeable dent in his trade value, other GMs see the same thing we do.
The team rallied to give Cossa his first win, tell them to do the same thing for Husso tomorrow. He deserves a win, and they all know it. They'll play hard.
I think Veleno is a great case for how Lalonde's coaching has suppressed this team's potential. I don't think Joe Veleno is that good. But I don't think he's this bad. For a player of his skill level, all it would take is a bad style of team play to make him invisible and irrelevant. You guys should talk about this more, because I think it was clear in the last game. Seider saw that game was getting out of hand and unchained himself. He went for big hits, and didn't hesitate with the puck on his stick. Lalonde is squashing this team's ceiling without really raising the floor.
I'm with scotty … sell high with Talbot.
Make all three goalies available and see what flies. Just play Cossa and let's find out if he is ready. Trade Veleno and get what you can get for him in either draft picks or an NHL ready player. If the Wings fall out of contention, then bring up as many young players as possible. Ray
On the bubble with this one. If Cossa plays well, he might become a great asset for the Wings when the "rebuild" is done, if ever. If he gets stuck behind our horrific defense and is placed in a position to have to make saves he shouldn't have to, or worse, pucks continue to hit the net because of the Wings usual breakdowns 2nd and 3rd period, will Cossa be the Judas Goat? The new blame catcher for a crappy coach? Cossa is good, but if you're rung out like a dirty dish rag game after game, then you destroy Cossa's confidence and ruin a good goaltender forever.
The Wings need change. A new head coach. "You can't solve a problem with the same mind that created it…"
Al Einstein
It’s simple redwings will play Husso because Lalonde sucks.
My thoughts. Statistically doesn’t make sense. But i think Detroit wins with Cossa in net. Loses with Husso
Cossa was raised in Fort McMurray , Alberta ,a rough, tough oil town basically in the wilderness. My guess is that he can handle anything that is thrown at him and come back strong.
Give the kid a chance.The Wings at this point have nothing to lose.
Start Cossa.
My prediction for Joe veleno is he ends this season around 19 points and everyone is disappointed, next year with his last year on the contract he gets a new career high in points at 35 on the season and people question giving him a new contract and it will be a big conversation with do we bring him back or make room for the young guys just for him to be resigned and have a down year again as the cycle continues
It's not imperative to get Husso's confidence back.. Its imperative to send him down and leave him there.
