Detroit currently has the #2 power play (recently surpassed by New Jersey) and the team is standing up for each other. Rasmussen’s scrum with Tkachuk was brought up again.
Having 5 wins so far is a good start. If you break down the season into 10 game pieces you’re shooting for 6 wins and 1 OT loss to be in the playoff picture. It’s not always that simple if there are injuries or slumps but so far things look to be on track. At 6 wins in 8 ten game segments you’re looking at 96 points, 100-108 is a tough nugget, but this team seems driven in the early going.
Late start tonight, and Newsie was none too pleased. Detroit may well have a thinner crowd tonight, but the team needs to keep playing hard and find that 6th win. It sounds like Petry is out with an upper body issue.
