There are two good things about this season of Red Wings hockey. One, it's almost over. Two, we get to watch some of the youngsters play. There is/was great anticipation regarding Joe Veleno. How would he look, how would he fit in out there? Is he ready to be a part of the big club? One game in and with limited ice time to assess him, I'd say he did well. Hopefully we'll get a better look tonight.

The younger D-men, Lindstrom, and, Cholowski are out there getting a look over. We also have Vrana, Zadina, Rasmussen, and Svechnikov. I'm including them, because for all intents and purposes, those are young players that should be the positives to help keep us watching the five remaining games IMHO.
