  1. Of course he went with JVR instead of Soderblom. I like Todd but I don't think he's ever tried a line combination I actually want to see. JVR has been great in the role he has, putting more responsibility on him with two faster younger guys seems…not ideal.

  2. I think JVR might end up being an NHL coach someday. Idk if he's stated he has aspirations toward that or not, but he seems like someone who would want to and probably be good at it.

  3. Kasper and Finnie need to pick it up. Finnie 0pts in 10 games and -9. Kasper 1 pt in 10 and -3. If they can get going, we will look deadly. Love JVR's game. Great addition. Come out fast boys, get the legs moving early and keep em moving. LFGRW!

  4. Hey harris did you hear what todd said? They wont use guys who arent good defensively to finish out games when holding a 1 or 2 goal lead when the opponent pulls their goalie. It isnt because he hates kane lol

  5. Wings 5v4 power play since McLellan demoted Patrick Kane to a punishment unit to fuck with his numbers as he pursues Modano:

    28:18

    3 goals for, 1 goal against

    Wings 5v4 power play w Kane on top unit, last 3 games (that got him demoted):

    20:20

    3 goals for, 0 goals against

  6. I wouldn’t mind seeing Soderblom with Raymond and Larkin again. Since he’s comeback he looks really good. He just slips back down to quickly. Hopefully he continues playing well.
