I think Reirden did "ok".. He (I assume) wanted a more conservative approach on O so they could play responsible D?? I think Hagelin hobbles the 2 line as far as being an offensive threat.. I dont really see Vrana as a reliability on D.. He's no Hagelin, but he's not bad, imo.. I like Orpik responsibility on the top D pair, but again he doesn't pass or break out particularly well, so again hobbling the O.. And he's slow. So, we'll see.. I loved the PP looks! Looked totally different in where they lined up with Nick out front instead of Kuz behind.. I like that he didn't just go with the status quo.. Hopefully we get by NC and can work through some stuff in the process.. And we did win, so there's that.. C+ for everybody in game 1.

Well, . . . I’m Detroit nursing a mild hangover from last night with fresh KBS at Founders Brewery 😁

I only caught the lasr few minutes, but from the highlight, Juicey did not have a good gane. . . and box score looks worse: a Dman with a -2 with 7and change ice time in a 3-2 game? . . . and 0 PIMs so it’s not like he got a miscondu or was in the box, . . . A D played only 8 mins and got beat for both goals against. Yikes.
It’s good they where trying to tighten up but hard to do when a D is -2 in 7min

Juice did look lost on the one goal and I did see him get pushed around ALOT but Canes were physical with everyone. His size/strength has always been my peev with him, but his positioning is usually pretty good. His size is a problem, but we knew that already. He does usually play with good awareness and uses his strengths to try and overcome the size issue.....I just don't think you can in the NHL. Not ragging on the guy, and he usually performs better than his size.
Can't really judge anybody on one game either. Could have been someone else's fault on both goals too...I haven't gone back and watched, but I remember him basically in a position to do NOTHING on the one goal.
GO CAPS

Not sure I want to know DC's definition of a "mild" hangover :lmao:
Let's play multiple choice; DC's "Mild" hangover:
a) A hangover resulting from imbibing a not quite adequate amount of alcohol in one or many forms, resulting in a headache the next day
b) A hangover resulting form imbibing multiple alcoholic beverage to an extent you are still semi-conscious, and do not pass out (for very long)
c) A hangover resulting from imbibing multiple alcoholic beverages, are totally shitfaced, can't walk or talk or type, passed out, but woke up somewhere, but not in jail; hence "mild"
d) still breathing the next day, although wish you weren't
e) all of the above
