Mantha and Larkin are being shown as one reason to pay to see the Red Wings, God help us. Looks like ANOTHER season out of the playoffs. Thank you Z for your years of service.
I think we are one of the worst teams in the league this year. We actually have some talent at forward but the blue line is a disaster. I don't have any faith in Blash to be the X factor based on his first couple years. But, that said, I'm okay with it as long as they are committed to rebuilding with youth. That starts with bringing in at least 3 young players to start the season.The ceiling for this team is probably Wildcard.
What I'm specifically looking for this season is how hard they play. We watched Gerard Gallant lead a first-year expansion team to the Cup Finals last year because of how hard his players worked. On paper, they were one of the least-talented teams in the league.
Can we get anything close to that out of Blashill and without Zetterberg? Wins come from hard work and talent. You need both to have successes, but sometimes a lot of one is enough to get some W's.

They took six penalties and were outshot 1:2 but still managed a point out of the game. Can't really hate that.Watching the Red Wings home opener ... they are being outplayed, but they are fighting (not in the literal sense, but that too). I like it!!!
