Rasmus Dahlin was pretty good playing defense his rookie year too. 

You'd have a hard time proving Myers or Risto were rushed considering their long careers. 

Cozens, idk, I think he just reached his peak and fell off. I guess we'll know after Ottawa plays him this season. 

Every single nhl team though, has a Myers prospect or a Ristolainen. A first round guy that didn't spend 2-4 years at a lower level. 

The league is pushing kids into the line ups sooner than they used to, that is true. 

I'd argue against Dahlin being pretty good right off the bat but it's not worth getting into. The point overall is they learn bad habits and lack the physical size and muscle to learn to play the right way. Risto is actually the perfect example. A guy who got messed up and didn't know who or what he was. Cozens can still be fixed but he has to unlearn and relearn. He might, he might not. 

My basic argument would be if your line doesn't have a veteran on it (preferably two) it's a bad idea and Cozens-Quinn-Peterka was a bad idea. Rookie D not paired with a veteran also a mistake. You'll have a hard time convincing me otherwise.

Sabres power play coming up. Too many men: Red Wings. Ooof.

[Brawndo]

Great PP 

[PromoTheRobot]

Awful miscommunication there between Georgiev and Power. Shorti Wings.

[Brawndo]

Östlund

[PromoTheRobot]

Tic-tac-toe Östlund. 1-1

He misplayed the puck again. And while Power did cough up the shortie, Georgiev acted like he was going to cover up the puck, only to release it to Power at the last second. No doubt caught him off guard.

Download the RedWings app.   You can watch the game on there 

Thanks for the advice. Listening to game on WGR. I'll give the app a try.

If the player at fault is debatable, default to Power.

Gonna say that was more on Georgiev.

[Brawndo]

2-1

[PromoTheRobot]

Failure to clear leads to a Wings goal. 2-1

Streaming is horrible quality.  

[Taro T]

Why does the video graphic keep showing that Östlund has a goal but Tuch and Zucker have 0.

Zucker also has 0 assists.

Know what else he and Tuch have 0 of - TOI.  They are NOT dressed tonight you rubes.

 

For those that can actually watch this (or at least the "stream continues shortly" graphic they show whenever there is a stoppage), Wayne Gretzky is also scoreless as is Jim Lorentz and shockingly Josh Allen hasn't gotten on the board yet, though he's due.

Weak call on Kesserling. 

[Taro T]

Yup.  But at least the've killed off 1/2 of this one without giving up any serious chances.  (And as he says that Georgiev has to make a nice blocker save.)

2 or 3 shots on the PP for the Wings.  Only 1 that was dangerous.  Will take that on the kill.

[Brawndo]

They have started slow in the first period each of the past three games this one cost them 

[Taro T]

Not sure that this is accurate as they didn't give Krebs credit for a shot about 3 minutes into the game; but they claim the Sabres were outshot 15-4 in the 1st.

STs is what cost them.  Can't be giving up shorties.  Even when you get the equalizer that same PP, those hurt.

Pretty sure the Sabres PP is a net 0 through 7 periods.

[Taro T]

What a stop by Georgiev.  Cross ice pass from Larkin to Raymond and he came in clean on Georgiev.

[Brawndo]

DOAN

[Taro T]

Doan w /the PP goal. 2-2.

[dudacek]

Goal and 2 assists for Doan in a little over 4 periods?
