It’s unbelievable how fast the game is, but it’s fast without puck possession. It’s forecheck, forecheck, sometimes it feels like it’s organized chaos out there.

Hate to say this as my hatred is well documented, but while this is applicable to most teams , it doesnt apply to the red wings. watched most of yesterdays game. They create confusion by passing and puck control not speed and chaos. While some teams in the West can handle this and shut some of it down, its tough for majority of teams to deal with. In the West I see the Hawks Blues and Sharks are better at moving puck, but not like the Wings currently are.
In case anyone is wondering go Dallas, F the red bags.
