I think a lot of pundits are a bit nervous about the defense without Lidstrom, and I don't think those concerns are unwarranted.
Kronwall is a great player, but he's also a bit of a gambler, and I don't know if the Wings have that elite "stay at home" defenseman that is a good compliment to him. Smith might get there, but he's rather green at the NHL level.
They're probably not mediocre, but they are definitely in a decline, and I don't consider them a realistic Stanley Cup contender as they are right now... not unless that defense takes some big strides forward.
But for all the talk that the Wings were ready and already in mid-season form because most of them were playing overseas... God, I hope that's not the case. Because if this is their mid-season form, they're fucked.
Worst game I've seen the Wings play in 20+ years. I didn't think our 1st game without Nick would be THIS much of a disaster. At least 20 years ago it was old time hockey and we had Probie and Kocur.
Mule looks like the lazy sob he was last year, Cleary is done as a productive player Z, Dats not having good game. Miller = more dead weight as always. Burt and Helm out hurts, ill take its only one game, but this is dreadful.
Howard best Detroit player so far, looks like he is going to get a lot of work this year.
Well one thing is for sure, this will be the year that we find out if Howard can lead the team and take the next step. We've always had to make excuses about our goalies not seeing enough shots and losing interest in the game..
I don't think that's going to be the case this season.
F#*K OHIO!!!
