Compete Level

John Leonard got sent down so he wouldn't have to deal with waivers and Sheldon Dries was recalled. Hopefully Soderblom's back in the lineup tonight.

Dries has kicked around the NHL with Colorado and Vancouver, playing over 100 games, but I find this type of guys uninspiring. Leonard was productive at first with Copp / DeBrincat but he couldn't do much on the 4th line.

simply love a red wing beatdown on the habs

I was checking the score at a neighbor’s party, now watching the DVR’d game

Gibson with a great early save on a 2 on 1 for Demidov and Kapanen

Raymond’s hit the post twice in the first

Habs fans whining for a penalty when it should’ve been a 5 on 3 for the Wings

I’m sure Habs fans were thrilled about the penalty disparity but all of the calls against the Habs so far are automatic

Kasper getting PP time again, good to see

Lane Hutson doing a lot on the periphery but not getting past the defender

That was an absolute gift for Raymond, two games in a row I think

Love a surprise PP and an immediate goal off it

Larkin goal with a nice JVR screen

Compher not thrilled about getting suplexed by WiFi and then an additional crosscheck while he was down

The third period stats and Ken Daniels is talking about how Marty St. Louis chose to put out the kid line against the Kane Copp Cat line, and 30 seconds in they leave DeBrincat wide open in the slot and he tees up a dagger to make it 3-0.

Suzuki’s gotten killed on faceoffs tonight and hasn’t looked very good after then either

Demidov and Kapanen have looked the best of the Habs. Hutson doing Hutson things, but I think the Wings defend him well and he hasn’t really threatened.

JVR took a stick to the face on a rough

Larkin gets pushed down by the face from Caufiel;

No calls on either, I’m sure Habs fans are keeping track of those

Kapanen gets called for a rabbit punch to Seider’s face directly in front of the ref
