Dylan Larkin’s two points help Detroit take care of business in Chicago

1. An interesting stat is that the Wings have the second best GAAV in the Atlantic.

2. Good win tonight. Great to see the Wings with the 'W.' Great analysis. Thank you.

3. I love Raymond on the second line. He is the best fit with Copp and Compher. He'll help them maximize their limited offensive potential and free up the 1st and 3rd lines to be stronger offensively too. I think this will pan out well. Looking forward to seeing how it goes against tougher competition in the Leafs and Rangers.

4. Al-Jo (20) need to advance to 2nd pair, then Will Willander should get a look for 3rd pair for sure…

5. What does a guy have to do to have you guys without 9 million hours of adds per episode?

6. in a game where the red wings scored 4 goals and let in 1 goal, the second pair was a -1 and the first pair was a +4. night and day

7. A stat I don't hear you guys discuss is the amount of giveaways Detroit has. It's absolutely absurd to have 18 in a game yet that's close to what they average. 185 in 11 games is just below the middle of the league but that should be an area of focus.

8. Johansson and Holl 2nd pair

9. Was it an accident or was Albert Johansson playing on with Chiarot on the second pair? It seemed like they were out there quite a bit together and they looked really good. It made all the pairings look better. I believe the I believe the pairs were M. S. & Edv., Chiarot & Jo , Gus & Petry. Am I correct ?

10. Hear me out, put Raymond and Kasper on the same line and see what happens. Both defensively responsible both high offensive potential.

11. Okay, I've been beating this drum for like a month . NOW even the announcers on NHL tonight are discussing it (i.e. Gretzky, etc.) and saying it is bound to happen to one of the bubble teams very soon.
    *Peface: Although we looked much improved today and more structured. I will never for a minute believe that this coach has what it takes to get us very far in the playoffs (not now or anytime in the near future). He's kind of like one of those hockey players that are really good in the AHL, but they just don't have quite what it takes for the NHL (sort of a place holder). We cannot hesitate any longer. S. Y. needs to sign J. QUENNVILLE as soon as he possibly can !!! To quote Getz and others: everyone knows he is the BIG, BIG BIG name hanging out their. One of the bubble teams is going to take him soon. For God's sake, Steve hurry up and get this guy locked up before we lose our opportunity. When we brought in Scotty Bowman, you said yourself that he taught you how to be the winner you needed to be. He taught you how to win! You need somebody, a coach with experience, to do that for the team ! I know that S.Y. is watching closely. It is time; in order for the Wings to continue to move forward, the amateur hour MUST END ! In order for this team to continue to progress we have to obtain the most experienced coach, avaliable. Joel Quenneville has 3 cups and is Scotty Bowman approved !! That says it ALL Steve !!! Don't procrastinate, in your heart of hearts, you know that it must be done ! We were out shot (I believe) in EVERY single game this year. We just played one of the worst teams in the league and were still outshot ! Our coach, I hate to say it, IS NOT THE RIGHT GUY to get the job done and this is NOT the time for on the job training !!!!! Pleazzze make the call, FOR God's SAKE !

12. Larkin and Debrincat look great together this year. Cat could have scored 4 tonight. I think we need more out of our 3rd line though. Kasper still only has 1 point and that was in his first game of the season. Berger only has 1 assist. And senko only has 2 goals. If we can get that third line going a little, this could be a dangerous team

13. Slow start is their mantra. In 12 games, they have only had one solid first period. Maybe you could discuss why that is happening over and over.

14. The more I watch Kasper the more I like him. I like his tenacity.I like his speed, I like his skill and I like his positional defensive play. I would really like to see a way if we could try to work him onto the second pairing somehow. I'd like to see him on the pair with Raymond and his speed and skill. Perhaps move him to the wing even. Or move Compher or Copp up or down or to the wing. I would just like to have the coach experiment with different combos in practice and see what looks the best. Try to think out of the box. Maybe he would click with Raymond or Kane, etc. Maybe he could center Kane and Debrinkat on #2 line. ????? Any suggestions would be interesting. I'd like to hear some ideas from you all.

15. TWO second line combos I was thinking of are the easy ones:

    #2- Ray Kasp Copp
    #3- VT Compher Berg
    Or
    #2- Ray Kasp Comp
    #3- VT Copp Berg

16. My reasoning for the below line experiments would be to add some added skill, tenacity and speed to the 2nd pairing, to hopefully result in more goals ! See below.

17. Perhaps e c periment with the below com b os but put Ksp on wing and put Copp or Comp to the ctr. …see below.

18. Other Possibilities
    _______________
    #2- Ray Comp Kasper
    #3- VT Copp Berg
    OR
    #2- Ray Copp Kasp
    #3- VT Comp Berg

19. Injury can be only reason to break up the 2nd pair D🤦🏼‍♂️ Edit Brian Fisher for 2nd pair 🎉

20. the goal Chicago did score was against Chiarot and Petry pairing. Chiarot getting out played in a board battle. then Petry just being oblivious to the guy out front and pass going between his legs.

21. With ya on Petry and the second pair. What does it take for Petry to be a healthy scratch?

22. Good analyses guys, Scotty I don't think we have any hope of our second d-line changing until next year when Petry comes off the books. I can not see any team taking on Holl or Petry's contract.
