Personally, I hope AA never gets the honor of putting the winged wheel on ever again. Have fun in the KHL. You do t come in and demand )$ after a good 1/2 season. Big scheme of things, he’s a nobody. I don’t care, nobody is bigger than the team. Who does he think he is, Sergei Federov? Get the hell outta here. Frk will take his spot nicely. Mantha will be a beast this year. Fairly confident we make playoffs at 7 or 8 seed. Whether or not that’s a good thing who knows.

Couldn't think of 4 better scorers !!! Good win for the new rink !!! We held them off and played solid in the third !!!FRk will be a Fave of mine due to his time in Halifax with the Mooseheads ! Goal and an assist tonight - a great start to his NHL career. Let's hope he can keep it up !!!
Good win DRWs.

Nice win. Was worried with the 2 quickies in the 3rd. Hank gets the game winner...way to go captain!
Congratulations to Jimmy Howard for his 200th win.
What’s up with the empty seats for a home opener in a brand spankin new barn?
We’re undefeated:)

Just finished watching. Happy boy tonight. Glad I got to hear Billy Joel before the end of the game. That is usually a good sign.
Empty seats may have to do with the ridiculous concession prices I have been reading about, but yeah...kinda embarrassing.
In other news, I still hate NBC broadcasts.

So I'm counting on every seat being filled NEXT game. Ha Ha Anyone seeing a bankruptcy in the near future for Olympia Holdings?

great performance from just about everyone on the roster tonight. If Blashill can stick to the lines as they are right now it might be fun to Watch this team this season.
Frk scored a great goal, i'm happy for him, overall he was good but not great in his zone and Sheahan is lurking in the back waiting to take his place (kidding i hope..but with Blashill we never know)
We fought hard, Howard was good, the D was good specially Daley who did not impress me in the pre-season games. I guess he was waiting for the real thing to start.
Now Blashill don't change anything until AA comes back. When he does just remove Sheahan from this line-up and everyone will be happy.

Good intensity, glad we won although we were outplayed for most of the game. Goaltending was the difference (not often we say this in our favor). E got worse if this was even possible. I am glad he played less than any other dman, but even 12 minutes is too much. Mantha should play more than 13 minutes. Z should play less than 21. Nielsen-Abby-Helm - all 3 looked good individually, but I do not see them clicking as a line. AA for Abby (or Helm) would make it a very potent line. I liked Frk's work on the boards and he is strong on his skates, but not good defensively, so Blashill probably switches him for Abby soon. And Pierre, I also want our team to make the playoffs. But we both know the only way this team becomes a contender is getting Dahlin in 2018 and a top center in 2019. So I wish they win all 82 games, but still get Dahlin:)

I don't know about being outplayed MOST of the match...to me we were outplayed in SOME portions of the game. But overall we match well against them. We had our share of chances, but defensively, except Daley, its a nightmare for us to create any sort of transition game. Jensen can skate but is not a great first passer, same for DK.

Funny I hardly noticed Daley until about mid game. Overall I thought we played a decent game...some spurts of being pinned in our end, blown coverage but Howard was mistake eraser. Its a good start to the season. I didn't like the 2 quick goals to start the 3rd or the too many men penalty but other than that not too shabby of a home opener. On to Ottawa

Overall good game. Ericsson was only one who looked terrible in my opinion. Believe t or not he looked worse than before, not sure how that’s even possible. Am I the only one upset about AA? Here’s hoping kid doesn’t see a single second of ice time first month or two if he does sign. I’d make him sit in the press box every night.

I agree with your opinion on AA, he is a cocky young arrogant, but we need him ! Too bad but that's a fact. Just imagine him on the third line instead of Helm who is a career fourth liner. If they can't sign him trade him for a top 4 D.

I too want AA in the mix. Did you guys notice the empty seats last night? That is a result of watered down product with an AHL coach and a GM living in the past. AA brings excitement that the fans love. Sure I heard all the rumors about him being selfish or a cancer in the rooms etc but I'll take he positive flash for the other stuff. He's a young player, he has great speed who generates offense and scores goals...this team needs that vs a Sheahan guy who doesn't score and ends the season a -29. AA can learn to be a better team mate and on the D side of the puck. We need young guys with speed and skill like Larkin and AA.

Even my wife noticed the empty seats. So we have this wonderful barn ($$$$) and a lousy on ice product. Think the pressure is on Holland to rebuild on the fly, not a slow complete bottom up rebuild. I'll bet they think the fans want to see the Wings make the playoffs. I suspect Wings fans have bee conditioned otherwise.
