It was a good game. Much closer than the score would indicate. Toronto capitalized on some key mistakes, and Bernier was solid. Detroit looked great for the first 40 mins, fell apart in the 3rd though

Boring game with only the Tatar line showing up. That has happened way too many times so far this season.

Who cares? Plus minus is a terrible stat and the Wings couldn't bury anything tonight against a usually porous defense. Sigh.
BINGO!

Kronwall looked like dogpoop all game.

2 turnovers at the blueline and the game is lost. That's just frustratingly bad puck. Babs looked very irritated.

That Tats/Abby/Sheahan line seems to click well. All hard-working players who will get to the dirty areas.

you're right - we should just do a swap of Kronwall and his -4 for Polak and his -5 - they probably just need a fresh start.

wrong, hes a minus 6

Heres why:
Hes on the Leafs, the 9-2 vs Nashville didnt help anyones + -
He dosnt play the PP, plays PK

But
he does however lead the league in hits for Dmen with 83, and is 4th out of all positions in hits

Tied for 5th in for blocked shots for all postions

Racking up lots of hits and blocked shots usually says less about a player's defensive value and more about the fact that his team never has the puck when he's on the ice.

You mean to say that you need to have the puck to score?
