Justin Holl (and Austin Watson) were assigned to the Grand Rapids Griffins on Tuesday despite two solid efforts against Nashville and New York. Is this a sign on Christian Fischer and Jeff Petry’s imminent return? Or is this just a paper move? When Petry DOES come back, how will the D shake out as Detroit tries to balance 8 defensemen all fighting for 6 spots? Also, why the heck are the Red Wings cycling ONE ‘A’? #LGRW

Really missing Walman right about now
Let's get real about Lyon, time to face the facts. He has won 3 of his last 17 games, he has averaged an .874 save % over that span, his most recent win he had an .810 save %. He didn't record a single win in the entire month of March last year, he lost 10 in a row from February 29th to March 30th. The game vs the Rangers the 1st goal by Lafreniere was very saveable, if that was Husso everyone would be saying it was his fault and he sucks. The 3rd goal off the faceoff Lyon was completely out to lunch, couldn't locate the puck or read the play, just stood there like a statue out of position and wasn't even screened. Why is this entire fanbase incredibly harsh on Husso even when the team is atrocious in front of him like the Penguins game and Lyon can do no wrong. Sick of the double standard. People act like Husso cost them the season last year and he only lost 5 games in regulation the whole year, he had a .949 save % vs Carolina and a .927 save % vs the Rangers in 2 of those losses.
Press box petry
Give Mo the other A
Playing a good game doesn’t matter. The majority of opportunity they get lands on the stick of Copp, Ras, Motte, Veleno, and they just cannot finish. Copp and Ras are just so bad at finishing it’s unreal…Petry is trash. Holl was trash and probably still is but has been playing well. Brian…stop f***ing saying abysmal..
Honestly aren’t these concerns more like something that should be brought up in like 40 games not 3. Everyone with half a brain knew that beginning this season would be rough with that d core. Johansson has looked pretty good. Maybe give him more ice time over 30 games and see how it works out.
They have done this before just not as much pavel and burg used to split it , wings I don’t think ever seen them toss 3 A on the ice , but I think the issue they want Raymond and MO roll to Kinda take it permanently, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kane if he stays stay in rotation- but MO is the leader on the line I do think it’s time they gave it to him
As a Habs fan I remember when Petry was a legit top pair offensive defenseman. Absolutely loved him in his prime in Montreal. Happy he is closer to family now though and I know he's struggled since well his last year in Montreal but I'd love to see some kind of bounce back, such a great guy truly, amazing teammate, friend, father and husband from everything I have seen and heard.
I will agree with the finishing part. If all the players on Detroit could finish, then all those good teams that only have a great goalie to save them would be outscored every game by Detroit. You can't tell me the Rangers had highlight goals? But their goalie made alot of highlight saves.
Just get Mickey Redmond to show them how to score!
The Coach and GM in Detroit are morons
If they play Petry over Holl, lalonde likes Petrys weiner & Austin wattson brought nothing to that game at all
I don't care who the goaltender is, the defense sucks. AGAIN
Can’t win games when you have a different goalie every night. Play the hot hand. Talbot needs to starts every game
Why why why send holl down for Petry. This team isn’t serious about wining
You play AJo until he earns the bench. He has more potential upside than any of the other guys we’re discussing.
Let's face it: Yzerman has put together a team worse this year than last season. You can't pile up horse hockey and expect the fans to think it is Chateaubriand. Yikes!
Holl has always been better than Petry, Lalonde is just an awful coach.
Seems like this D core consists of one decent D pair and then a bunch of below average players.
MO SIEDER HAS MORE THAN EARNED THE A
I’d like to see Veleno play with Tarasenko and Raymond/ Kane to see if that works, Veleno has looked decent
I thought the purpose of wearing a letter was that player could discuss issues with the referee and team leadership. When I was young there were three forward lines therefore, one C and two A’s. Today running four lines maybe there should be one C and Three A’s. As I said in previous posts, it seems Lalonde is a coach that doesn’t want to offend anyone or hurt anyone’s feelings. Maybe that’s why he rotates the A.
I do realize that it's only been 3 games, but since ESPN+ has only shown 1 of them I've watched 2 non wings games both showed me how much the wings need to do and we're there at
We have a long way to go they play disinterested
