Gustafsson has had a couple good years on very good teams. Last year he was able to fill in on an extremely good rangers power play when fox was hurt and did well. Before he was on a very high powered blackhawks team. This is not a high powered offense right now and he’s not a great defensive defenseman. I understand the signing and don’t even think it was a bad idea despite how it has worked out… but it just hasn’t worked out and I don’t really expect that it will
@xcvbxcvb2179 100% in agreement. The other part of that is overpaying for players that have peeked and are they have become diminished returns just like the three you mentioned.
Add in Copp, Chiarot, Petry, and Compher. A good portion of our roster has been from terrible free agent signings (or trade in the case of Petry). That's why I'm not too hard on Yzerman yet because his draft picks have been pretty decent. I feel like there's also a huge disconnect between what the coach wants this team to be and the players the GM is giving him. Then we have Lalonde refusing to adjust his system to the players. It's just a mess right now.
I am not sure who the scouts are helping Stevie with the free agent signing, but something should be changed? Maybe these are just Stevie picks? The draft picks have been good, but!
Wait til theres a game were getting blown out on and make him play top d man for the last half a game or whatever. The competition may seem easier the following games for him
also for the powerplay. If we're just putting dmen up there based on past season then fucking put Petry there lol. Petry almost got a norris at one point
@paulwt9783 Just bad luck! +/- doesn't tell the whole story. Ray n Larks are really good defensive forwards in this league so I'm not worried about it.
@@paulwt9783 With players like Kane and Tarasenko not producing, the team is missing goals. If you then have 10 games with a one-goal difference, the goalie is usually taken out so that you have one more player. But the goal is empty. There you collect for example - minus. If these players also play against players from the other team, it can happen that they score. Especially since Larkin and Raymond don't always play with the first D pair. Is that explanation enough?
@@brrownyy53 Empty net goals are not 5v5. Larkin and Raymond together are a minus at 5v5 this season. Meaning 5 skaters a side, both goalies in. Shouldn't the team's 2 best players, playing together, outscore the opponent?
lol more genius content. Gustafsson was brought in to be the top power play d-man bc of his history w Kane and DeBrincat. but this was abandoned almost immediately, like everything Kane was promised, to favor homegrown players on new big contracts. Seider and Raymond. you're welcome for that explanation.
@@paulwt9783 Was told directly in the first sentence by Brian that he was a replacement, thanks for your clarification again. That was very helpful. Are you Kane's agent?
Perception for me is you're not a fan of the team, rather a Patrick Kane fan and have followed him from team to team. Not the first to do it. Won't be the last.
You think that's a coaching idea or no? Because I just feel this team could be better with a new coach. Probably not enough to save the season at this point
Yeah I can’t imagine why the team would favor players like seider and Raymond over Gustafson and Kane. It’s almost like they’re better players or something… but no, that couldn’t be it
Huge overreaction haha! There is still 75% of the season to play still! We can recover easily from the bad start if we can play like we did against the Leafs n Flyers. If we are still playing bad half way through the season I will then hit the Panic button!
A player has to get out of his slump, by himself. The system cannot help, or hurt. Still, when you don't have the puck, what do you do? When you have the puck, what do you do? It is up to him to figure it out. Whether in the press box or on the ice. If you positive things on the ice, you play, if not, you sit. 🏒
"I think your eyes are a great shape." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Scotty, you kill me. Lmao
I think the big question is WHY TF IS GUSTAFSSON PLAYING OVER JOHANSSON!

Gus, Holl, Taresenkov, etc all point towards some serious problems with the pro scouting.
agree w/ the first two. Still hopeful w/ Tar. Holl specifically is a head scratcher.
@xcvbxcvb2179 100% in agreement. The other part of that is overpaying for players that have peeked and are they have become diminished returns just like the three you mentioned.
I’d like to see these same players with a different coach/system. A bad coach can kill good players and I don’t think lalonde is a very good coach.

@@andyq524 I'm not 💯 on Zadina being a Yzerman pick think it was Holland
Scotty is low key funny asf
Brian and Scotty are the funniest Wings podcast by far. Evan on Winged Wheel is hilarious too.
Voice text error should be steve not elliott below.
I'd be hyped for a Wallinder call up. He couldn't be worse than Gus and Petry.
I'd rather have Lagesson and Tuomisto than Chiarot/Petry
He doesn’t want to be a Red Wing. Pure and simple.

We ball everyday! except weekends.

Maybe back-to-back against the Habs will help the entire team.
Is Brian just not going to talk about his interview on Fox 2 News? I saw that Brian.
👀😎
@@LockedOnRedWingsDrink responsibility lol. Looked like that guy got his head slammed against the glass pretty hard.
Husso bouncing back and forth to accrue some cap space like have done with Watson.
No comment.
Maybe a trade with Gus
Hope its an injury
He has always been bad, this is on the scouting team/Stevie Y for signing him
also for the powerplay. If we're just putting dmen up there based on past season then fucking put Petry there lol. Petry almost got a norris at one point
will you ever do one of these videos asking What's up with Larkin and Raymond being a minus together at 5v5 this year?

You’re right. Larkin and Raymond are the problem

Gus isn’t good, so not sure why anyone would expect him to be. Just another Yzerfail. SY should be moved up to an executive role, he’s not a good GM.
He's another of Yzerclown's trash heap pickups.
You watch your mouth, punk! Yzerman is a hockey god

@@seanr.6596 Are you saying Kane is no longer in his prime? Whaaaaaat 👀
This is the worst Red Wings hockey team we have ever seen in our lifetime. NO ONE IS SAFE THIS DEADLINE
Larkin, Seider, Raymond, Ed , ADB

You obviously weren't around in the 70s and 80s. If you were alive in 2019 that season contradicts your statement.
Some of us are old enough to remember Darkness with Harkness.
Now, THAT was bad hockey.
This isn’t even the worst team in the last 5 years lol. So many stupid comments on this video already
