Bob Duff: Kronwall expected to play Detroit defenseman Niklas Kronwall (knee) is expected to go Saturday against the Florida Panthers but goalie Petr Mrazek (illness) is days away from a return.

I think it might be too little too late

but pens won in regulation, so thats good

the defense badly needs to be re-vamped. theyve had several players from GR come up and make a difference in goal and up front (Mrazek, Larkin, AA, Mantha) all seem like future pieces.

The defense worries me because theres nobody back there or in GR who is able to anchor the unit now that Kronwall is breaking down.

Not sure what it worse. Watching this team play or having to suffer through the Richardbag, homer announcers for the Florida feed. Jesus Christ. You'd think the Panthers have won the last 25 Stanley Cups by the way they talk up this team up. A team that won't even make the finals no less...
