I haven’t seen that yet, but apparently it goes into more Avs detail (unnecessary) and talks about the Alumni game.

These were his thoughts: “You have to remain disciplined and wait for the right opportunities…you might get five [free agents]. You might not like any of them, but you’ve got five.” Obviously, his quote isn’t
Red Wings Rumblings The NHL had a big ol’ fat-ass goof on social media Thursday night. I wish I could post the tweet, but it was deleted. Thankfully we’ve got screenshots: It appears the NHL social media team somehow mixed up Henrik Zetterberg and Evgeni Malkin. Normal world. This isn’t really news or anything, and
Red Wings Rumblings Sebastian Cossa and the Edmonton Oil Kings picked up an OT win in the Memorial Cup Wednesday night: 3 goals on 39 shots for Cossa, Steve Yzerman’s 15th pick in the 2021 NHL Draft.

Moritz Seider is the best rookie in the NHL. No surprise, he’s great. But the standout defenseman got some high praise from not only his teammates, but some of the biggest names in Red Wings history: Appearing here were Red Wings legends Sergei Fedorov (is this hinting at something or foreshadowing?) and Dominik Hasek, both
Look, I know you probably were a little nervous. I get it. Moritz Seider is the NHL’s top rookie for the ‘21-’22 season and guess what? It wasn’t even close. Since being drafted 6th overall in 2019, Moritz Seider has sliced his way through every level of hockey he’s competed at.. And I think it’s
