It is the French pronunciation. His Grandfather is Canadian.
If he doesnt pass to the opposition like today's team habitually does, I will be over the moon for him.
Plante is a LW EP got wrong about his positioning. He definitly plays LW in UMD with Shaugabay as the C.
Kris Draper, keep it up
So I have to admit, I’ve all but forgotten about this guy with the talent that made it to Detroit this year and the handful knocking on the door that are in Grand Rapids. This is great to hear. Yzerman’s goal was to become a playoff team and challenge for cups, not a cup… which means what he does has to be sustainable. This is an example of what that looks like. It will enable Detroit to get better and better, and when the loss of players to other markets inevitably happened, this puts them in a position to “reload” and keep going.
One day it'll be game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. Offensive rush for the Wings and Ken Chat GPT Daniels can rattle off all of Plante's stastics, including his shoe size and favorite pizza topping ….while the puck is in play,
When he was drafted he was thought of as being a boom or bust player. He will make it as a top 6 player or he won't make it. They'll take their time with him. He needs to spend time in the weight room
Can he play LW for us? Seems like we have our top 3 centers for the future with Larkin Kasper Danielson, and he doesn’t fit the 4C mold, so would love to see him as a middle six playmaking winger in a couple of years.
Its nice to have all the prospects (Seider, Raymond, Edvinson, Kasper, etc…) and still have quality prospects coming up.
Can you do a vid covering the Detroit goalie Prospects? Cossa and Augustine looking amazing and now Postava too in Grand Rapids
Let's hope. We can use some draft luck after all our bad lottery luck.
Max Plante has an 88% faceoff percentage #1 in the NCAA!!! He's been compared to Jack Hughes alot. I think Max Plante has #1 center potential and could have a higher ceiling than Jack Hughes especially in the faceoff department. Max Plante is averaging 2 points per game in a men's NCAA league. He is absolutely dominating, and should be a favorite for the Hobey Baker Award!
Yzerman is still a horrible GM. FIRE HIM!
Detroit Red Wings future 2031-2032 line-up post Dylan Larkin?:
Finnie Kasper Raymond
Bear Plante Genborg
Buchelnikov Danielson MBN
Lombardi Soderblom Kiiskinen
Mazur
Edvidsson Seider
Buium ASP
Johansson Johansson
Wallinder
Augustine
Cossa
More Red Wings “Copium.” See ya in 2028, if ever.
he is a bottom 6 forward on a good team
Yzerman will need to make two trades this offseason regardless of the prospect pool. Top-6 F & Top-4 LD. Gonna cost him a chunk.
Size doesn't matter. Says Marcel Dionne.
I have a plant but we have a Plante
