Seems like Hronek isn’t coming back today

Extra Bowey, extra Biega

Fuuuuuck

Things that absolutely will not happen:

- A (meaningful) Red Wings powerplay
- Abdelkader scoring

Bad things that could still happen:

- Malkin could cheap-shot someone and get away with it
- Hornqvist could run Bernier and injure him
- Erne / Perlini could get a bunch of ice time
- Mantha gets hurt in a wholly unnecessary fight

A lot of miserable Wings games this year but this one is among the worst

A Hornqvist hat trick

Fuck the world

Of course the PNES score off of that faceoff

Woof, Howard should’ve had that

Tuzz will get one today

Wings are leading in shots at least

I thought Lil Tuzz was going to bury that 2 on 1

Alas

Welp

Not sure how the Wings took a penalty but having a double screen is a tough ask for Howard

Bultman / Iyer use Ericsson as a comparable for Lindstrom but I don’t see it, at least now. Ericsson’s biggest strength is his size, he’s capable of bodying guys on the PK and along the boards (the things Biega cannot do). Lindstrom has been fine / safe so far, but he’s gotten worked a bunch of time...

Fuck Hornqvist so hard. I don’t think that was a kicking motion but he basically fell on Howard in the crease and kicked his legs around and the puck went in.

Kind of a bummer how thorough of a scouting report I could provide on Biega. I immediately recognize when he’s out there because he has an idiosyncratic stride. Sometimes “water bug” is used to describe a skater and it 100% describes him. He’s quick, relatively smooth, darts around a bit. Good at ca...

That was a nice passing play they’d absolutely fuck up if they tried again

FIIIIIIIILLLL PUUUUUUU LALALALALALA

Erne / Ehn / Perlini is about the least exciting line I can fathom

Lil Tuzz with a nice steal and a shot

Going out on a limb here but I think the Wings are going to get rolled by the PNES in Pittsburgh

Cancel them all, let God sort it out
