Compete Level

Wings getting a PP after Kane did a great takeaway

Great feed across the net front to Larkin

Another Wings PP

Schenn got his money’s worth on that sequence

Kasper on PP2 with Berggren

Matching penalties after O’Reilly tried turning Lyon into a lollipop, but somehow he didn’t go

Wings PP after Cole Smith dumped Seider on top of Lyon after a whistle

Josi hits the crossbar with a shorthanded slapper

Miserable PP and now Seider takes a PP on a Nyquist rush

Chiarot takes an iffy tripping penalty, long 5 on 3 for Nashville

Crazy stick save by Lyon on Stamkos (who is absolutely invisible at even strength)

Well there’s Stamkos’s PP goal right after Seider came out

Good Copp

I think that’s his second skate goal of the year

Lyon coming up big in the third, Detroit needs to get possession for a while

Edvinsson gets the empty netter

Copp gets the second empty netter

Phew

On the Shreds:

Adding Skjei would've been a bigger help if they hadn't also moved out McDonagh. Fabbro was out today, but Del Giezo, Lauzon, Schenn, and Carrier are a steep drop-off from the top guys. A really solid #3 would help them a lot.

Stamkos is still lethal on the PP but I barely heard his name outside of it. The top line (O'Reilly, Forsberg, and Marchessault) is consistently dangerous, but past that, they really need a 2C. Tommy Novak and Colton Scissons are 3Cs at best. They won't cut it. Stamkos can't play center at even strength anymore.

Nyquist had a great rush on the PK but he didn't do much at even strength. Not being on O'Reilly's line anymore is a killer for him. I think he's back down to 50 points this year.

Their PP is excellent and the Wings were lucky not to take many penalties (although a 1:30+ five on three was more than enough) but it's not at the level of the Rags, who know each other telepathically.

Anyway, they'll right the ship and be a playoff team, but it's pretty clear that they're not going to be the best team in the Western Conference.

i watched 2 periods of that preds/oilers game and really didn't see stamkos do much of anything. their top line is working but i don't think novak is viable as a 2C

Stamkos is totally invisible at even strength.

Hope the Wings can hit .500 tonight, feel like talk of their terrible start was hyperbolic

Brock Nelson’s stock photo looks like one of the Three Stooges after a CrossFit commitment

Hm apparently it was just where they cut off the top
