The Wings still haven’t earned a victory this year, but as Meatloaf once said “two out of three OT/SO losses equals one win more or less.” Maybe I’m misremembering that song. I don’t know. It’s officially old enough that the oldies radio station in my town never plays it anymore so whatever.
At any rate, in this loss, I want to stay positive and highlight what can happen when well-structured pressure does good work to move pressured pucks off the boards and towards the middle of the offensive zone without taking unnecessary risks. Enter the first goal of the season that gave the Red Wings a lead:
