Lucas Raymond

they're really embodying a different life with Dylan Larkin not being in a position of leadership anymore.

And the guys that are in those positions, when you look at Mo Sider, Lucas Raymond, Alex Dabrinkian, and I think Victor Arvidsson, they are really embodying playing winning, aggressive, and gritty hockey, and it's good to see because I haven't seen that on the Red Wings in a long time.

Also, Detroit Pistons picking up.

Real quick, real quick.

It's

been a long time since we've seen someone in a position of leadership actually leading on the Red Wings.

So shout out to most cider Alex to bring it Lucas Raymond and I'm throwing Victor Arvidsson.

Hell yes.

So you've got to love that for him.

Lucas Raymond had a slow start.

He's picked it up as of late.

Emmitt Finney's looked really, really good.

Pretty much give the Detroit Red Wings the lead for good in this game.

It's Justin Falk, the Mike Lippa lookalike, with a power play goal for his third of the season from Kopp and Brant Signigard.

Then Brant Signigard takes a pass from Lucas Raymond and scores his third of the year, which turns out to be the eventual endgame.

Game-winning goal with Markstrom on the bench.

Yeah, not fun.

Lucas Raymond, of course, he scores, right? Anywho, this is when the rally began to kind of happen.

So Jimmy Snuggerud scores literally within the last 28 seconds of the final frame.

Okay? It's now 3-2 Detroit to start off the final frame.

Keep in mind, this is a guy that's been a bottom six forward the entire season for the Tampa Bay Lightning, and he still is, but he scored in three straight games for Tampa Bay.

coming into tonight so connor geeky uh all of a sudden feeling it for the lightning and you can get over plus 600 for him to score a goal tonight so if he scores tonight this is one of those under the radar gems if you will he's looking for his fourth straight game scoring a goal and you could get plus 600 at fan duel for connor geeky to score tonight for tampa bay so gotta bet that at that price with how well he's feeling it right now at the moment We've got a four-game point streak for Lucas Raymond, four-game point streaks for Gensel and Point for Tampa Bay.

Mo Sider on the Detroit blue line, also on a four-game point streak.

John Carlson is someone else that might be worth a sprinkle to score a goal because he's over plus 500, and he's got goals in back-to-back games from the blue line for this Tampa Bay team.

And I picked up JJ Paterka on waivers.

And I also have Lucas Raymond on my bench because we're fighting.

But I almost sat Gensel for either of those guys, but I couldn't do it either because Gensel's Gensel, right? And he's going to score when he's in.

But I regret it because Lucas Raymond rattled off 20 points.

So...

So he's winning the fight.

I don't know if he was hurt.

I don't know exactly what it was, but again praise from the coach on the other side and you have a young star player that is emerging right now in front of your very eyes he is third in the nhl in hits right he's putting the puck in the back of the net by the way very versatile offensively too last night gets to the dirty areas man he he makes a play he gets to the front of the net he puts the puck in the back of the net right he's hitting everything that moves he has 70 hits on the season again he's third in the entire national hockey league in that time he is he is hitting everything that moves he's creating plays he's putting the puck in the back of the net by the way he's also 14th in the nhl in takeaways right so he's a great he's he's playing so dynamic right now he is a great great young player so i'm really excited to see you know how far exactly this can go and how long he can do this consistently the physical aspect i think he can take it up a notch in terms of consistency offensively but all of that to say 15 games into this season he has 10 points already he is literally one of their best players and of course you're going to have better point production from your stars that have been here for a while you're the brink it's your lucas raymonds and i i don't want to bypass those guys they've been really good too obviously luke and lucas raymond a great setup on uh mbn's goal but uh he's playing really well for a rookie that's my point so any final uh you know thoughts on mbn because i think we're going to continue to be talking about him all year he's a guy that they needed to be exactly this and there were so many question marks coming into the summer based on what we saw at the end of last year his small stint in the nhl and then heading into this year and it looks like he has arrived

i mean if you go back to those 70 hits there's people in the nhl that are paying nhl players to step in and just be physical this guy is being physical putting up the points and you don't see that out of a lot of young players that come in that have all the tools of a good defensive two-way game a guy that can still put up points and also be physical this is a jack of all trades we have a unicorn coming through this team and i'll continue saying it yes he might not be the best player in the nhl at any point in his career he might not be the best player on this red wings team but this is the damn type of player you want on a team that's in the midst of trying to do something special and listen this is not going to slow down and genuinely it's just starting

yeah and you can see that his ice time went up over the last little while the power play also look the penalty kill on this team by the way real problem that they're gonna have to figure out but if you're talking about the power play it's been super dynamic as well so know the sky's the limit for this player right now he can continue to get better he's going to continue to take it to another level and i i still think we saw some of his best hockey in the world championships we covered it here on the on the channel he looked borderline dominant in that tournament of course that's at the end of the season there's not that many nhlers in that tournament but again he's he's turning it up now and as he continues to build confidence as he does this more consistently he's going to be a problem for other teams he is going to be a problem speaking of a problem the detroit red wings right now Our problem in the Atlantic Division, which nobody expected.

I think, you know, Moritz Seider, legit Norris contender every season now.

Lucas Raymond's taking that next step.

He's looking like an elite winger.

Debrinket, just an extremely solid NHL winger.

Now, it's a 3-2 game.

Then MBN would get, after his assist, a goal, his third of the year, from Lucas Raymond, his 10th assist, and Andrew Kopp, his third assist, to make it 4-2.

Sam Bennett would make it 4-3 at the 1640 mark.

And then Emmitt Finney from Mo Sider, Sider's 10th assist of the season, second of the game.
