COACHES: Here is a GREAT teaching clip on the importance of defending the middle first, especially in transition. We see this a lot in youth hockey - when the puck gets turned over, players will loop out towards the wall to get back in transition. When the most important part of the ice is defending the middle. Watch the two CAR players Staal and Ehlers on this clip. When MTL gets the puck, they turn outside the dots rather than stop and take the middle away and come back through the guts of the ice. MTL makes a pass through the middle and attack the most dangerous part of the ice on entry leading to the goal. Awesome teaching clip to show your players!


The whole bottom-six needs to be revamped at this point. - Perron: 0 points since DET acquired him - Rasmussen: 0 points since Jan 5 - Appleton: 1 point in 2026 - Kasper: 2 points in last 10 games - JvR: 29 points on season - Compher: 24 points Every aspect of it is a mess.



Another key game, another pathetic performance. Red Wings lose another one with hope fading fast. #LGRW
