What a weekend for Detroit. They beat both Tampa and Edmonton to extend their winning streak to 5 games, capping off a succesful homestand against playoff-caliber opponents. Against the Lightning, the Red Wings suffocated Tampa for 40 minutes and Gibson stood on his head through all 60. Axel Sandin-Pellikka scored his 1st career goal on Friday, and then Emmitt Finnie did as well on Sunday enroute to a 3pt night. Dylan Larkin is also on fire, with 6 points on the weekend and 11 in 6 games to start the year. #LGRW

Didn't they have two seven-game win streaks last season? And look what happened!
Apparently, this is a controversial take, but, notwithstanding the obvious multitude of brainfart breakdowns that led to odd man rushes and scoring chances against, I didn't think they played nearly as terribly in the first game as people are making it out to be, in the sense that they didn't come out flat and they weren't dominated all over the ice. They were skating very well, playing with pace and were moving the puck very well. Unfortunately, they made about a half dozen glaring mental mistakes that left Gibson completely out to dry and Montreal repeatedly cashed in on those. Whatever motivation they took away from that loss is all good, though, because they're playing quite well now. Finnie is a revelation for this team.
The fans of the Kings, Sharks and Oilers all warned us that McLennan wouldn't deploy young players when it mattered. After seeing the way Kasper changed after he took over last year and the 3 kids getting huge minutes this year… it seems he has learned. Everyone has also said he is a bridge coach to get us back in the playoffs but not over the top. At this point, I think it is clear that he is just an excellent coach and motivator.
You know maybe not been crazy but I think Seider has been having a great weekend
I believe 46 to 48 wins is realistic and that puts us in the hunt.
Looking at the upcoming Schedule we should take 5/7 Wins for sure.
Larkin looks unreal.
Wheres that Larkin hater at???? LGRW. The fists are pumping. What a beauty team atm. 💋
The Hamonic streak is on folks. As long as he is out of the lineup, we win 🤣
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
Larkin is playing at superstar level, Finnie is just awesome, MBN and ASP are staying here and playing very strongly.
Chiarot and Seider defended McD and Drai so well, the goalies look very strong.
Detroit has regained respect. I don't think any team plays against Detroit and thinks beforehand, "Easy win."
Detroit is/will be tough to play against.
LGRW
Anyone who still thinks Larkin is not an elite player is clueless.

The McClellan effect is real, dude just wins everywhere he goes.hes great teacher of the game for young men, and clearly knows how to motivate, and after that abysmal game 1, he has the boys bought in to his system. Theyre playong the best hockey ive seen since 07: outshooting every team, constantly putting pressure on the opponent, and consistently backchecking hard, and gee no surprise he was on the bench then. I seriously doubt this gaokie tandem is enough to make a deep push in the playoffs, but id put your money on the wings to get in the dance right now, because last few years wings woupd not have won 3 straight games missing a top 6 forward amd still look borderline dominant in every game aside from the third period against the bolts.
If MBN doesn't get a point or 2 over these next 2 games, I could see him being swapped with Mazur, since Mazur is on a tear right now.
Get as many points as we can now. Will need them in spring. LGRW
If we can just go without crashing and burning for an entire month this could be our year
My thanks to the NHL for raising the salary cap. This way, teams had the money to resign most players. This left Yzerman with no choice but to play the kids. And finally, it looks like we have a good team back in Hockeytown!
We have the potential to start the season 7-1 when the analysts didn't have us winning a game until our upcoming game against Buffalo.
That's why the games are played baby. Great performance after that Montreal flop.
5k people watched this great episode but not even 300 👍? C'mon do better
Vibes are riding high early in the week! Larkin is also first star of the week for the NHL!!
Glad you mentioned Finnie's chances in previous games. Feels like the guy has been putting himself in the right spots every game and glad it finally went in. I'm sure DeBrincat will feel good when he gets his first this season since he's also been looking great but no goals.
Larkin is the #1 star in the League for this week. Awesome! LGRW!!!!!
How far do you think into the season will we get a real feeling for this team? How/when do we know what this team is? 20-30+ games?
MBN needs to shot more his physical play is good, but he needs to shot more and I'm saying that as a Norwegian hockey fan.
Finnie is a great inspiration story for future late round draft picks you can make it if you really hard.
