Steve Kouleas: “With Ken Daniels, the face and voice of Crimson Wing hockey. Final 12 months, the Crimson Wings may rating, however they gave up nearly as a lot as they did put within the internet at 3.33 and added a goalie. So, is it a three-headed monster? What’s the crease conundrum or plan shifting ahead?”

Ken Daniels: “Effectively, and Steve talked about that. They’re going to determine it out as they go alongside, identical to they did final 12 months. And as they carried three final 12 months, it labored out fairly nicely for them, really. And if there’s accidents elsewhere, and perhaps there’s a deal to be made, however actually it’s Cam Talbot, Alex Lyon, and the query mark is Ville Husso, who performed underneath 9 minutes from simply earlier than Christmas.
The remainder of the season, he solely performed 9 minutes. He was damage all 12 months after which Lyon acquired overworked. However now you add Cam Talbot, who yeah, underneath a construction group like Los Angeles was than the Crimson Wings and it was a degree of reference on the finish of final season. Effectively I believe earlier than the season is over he’ll in all probability be paired with Moritz Seider. It’s simply me considering that manner.
However total, group protection needs to be higher. I believe they’ve acquired two good high traces. Compher has been skating with Kane and Tarasenko, and Compher is definitely accountable in each ends, and the highest line that carried Detroit was Larkin with Raymond and DeBrincat, in order that they have the offense.
They’ve additionally misplaced some offense. 5 on 5, they’re down about 14% with these they misplaced, shedding Gostisbehere on the again finish and changing him with Gustafsson. You lose Jake Walman. So that they’ve misplaced some offense, however that’s not their greatest concern.

Their greatest concern is healthier goaltending and higher group protection to attempt to make up the distinction for an absence of offense you’ve seen two years now of a Derek Lalonde group.”
