Compete Level

Stooter scores, Grieg needlessly knocks it back into the net

I really want this line to work (MBN - Finnie - Debrincat)

DeBrincat, scoring one for his old fans in Ottawa

Ersson looking really solid to start the game, oozing confidence.

On paper it seems like it should work

I like Finnie at center

If the Wings kill this penalty their % might double

You simply knew it was going to happen

Of course Larkin scores

Seems like mostly cheers

The penalty was the first time I noticed Copp

Always a good sign

It's still possible that AI tells Ilitch to fade away and let the GM work. Ed gets signed, Larkin plays out the year. Things aren't AS bad?

I wish I could be optimistic on Edvinsson, but the rumors I've heard -- they're willing to take prospects / picks in a trade for him, they offered 8.5 x 6 -- are not encouraging. Maybe if you'd offered 8.5 x 6 last summer we wouldn't be in this mess!

Larkin having his wife and kid by the glass feels like a plea for leniency, but I do wonder if he'd prefer to stay close to family.

I saw it as them just trying to be there for him. It cannot be easy to take that warm-up.

Yzerman should have had Edvinsson signed, no question. I just really want the rumors to be wrong.

Weird seeing Larkin without the C

Didn’t think they were actually going to call the hold

Well that was fun, see, Dylan, fun?

Arvidsson burying another one on the PP

Four goals or four shots

What a move by Faulk

Hoping for a Kolesar rush goal just before that felt like a bridge too far

Didn’t want to get too big of a head, back to abysmal PK coverage

I still love how excited Ken and Mickey get when a fourth liner gets a breakaway. Oh! Here we go! [it's the animated corpse of Dan Cleary]

Darren Helm had the biggest disparity between excitement over a breakaway and odds of a positive finish
