Expectations Are Low

Blog: Abel to Yzerman By Kate from PA now in SC-made in Detroit

The Wings pulled out a win, and, scored a few goals a couple of nights ago. Still, the fans are waiting for that ever elusive two wins in a row. Expectations are low. It's not helping that the Wings have gone zero for forty on the awful, sad excuse of a power play.

Can the Wings score on the power play, and, pull out a win tonight? We'll see....

“Sinister” Russian Speculation Plus A Subtle Shot At Detroit

Blog: KK Hockey By Paul

02/27/21 at 04:59 PM ET | Comments (7)

from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,

We have already moved past it, haven’t we, onto the next story in a life replete with endless news cycles and an inexhaustible amount of fodder over which to be outraged and/or titillated?

Except for Artemi Panarin, his wife, Alysa Znarok, and their families living in Russia, that is.

The scandal here is not that Panarin was charged with having assaulted an 18-year-old woman in Latvia in 2011 by an unreliable third party with personal and political axes to grind by the name of Andrei Nazarov.

Rather, it is that those ostensibly specious claims created enough psychological damage to Panarin that the elite winger has been forced off the ice to deal with the repercussions, whether real or imagined.

How sinister is that?...

continue for more on this topic plus other items including...

Finally, why do I always get the impression that when Steve Yzerman speaks up in support of some systemic change to the system — such as postponing the 2021 entry draft — it is rarely to benefit the greater good, but rather to benefit his team?

But that was always the way of the Red Wings in the days of the dynasty for which Yzerman played, yes?

Imagine That, A Hockey Player Watching Hockey

from Luke Fox of Sportsnet,

A quick mix of the things we gleaned from the week of hockey, serious and less so, and rolling four lines deep. I missed the “Barbie Girl” song and who knows what’s going to be on when I come back...

1. Mark Scheifele, a shameless hockey nerd, has been binging Canadian division games in his spare time, even the ones that don't involve him.

The Winnipeg Jets star takes mental notes when he observes the show being put on by this season's leading point-getter (Connor McDavid) and goal-scorer (Auston Matthews), in particular.

In doing so, Scheifele is heeding advice from the late, great Dale Hawerchuk, who coached the centreman in OHL Barrie.

“Dale always told me: ‘It’s free education.’ You get to learn from them and pick up little things they do and try them at practice the next day. It’s about learning from the best players in the world and trying to add that to your game," said Scheifele ahead of a three-game Leafs-Oilers series that kicks off Saturday.

“From watching Connor and Auston play, you pick up little subtleties, little passes they’re making, the way that Auston’s shooting the puck, all those little things.”

continued with numerous topics and entertaing too....
