My condolences on Calgary. Very disappointing. I fire the coach. No reason for them to lose 4 in a row after winning game 1 4-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 @Brewin Flames Larsson and Keith Petruzzelli are considered something of goalie prospects for the Wings which is good, we have had years of Harri Sateri and his ilk playing at the A, Howard and Bernier aren't really the answer, more of a stop gap at this point and it would be nice to develop a nice young cheap tandem for 20-21.I love watching AHL Hockey, looking forward to seeing Larsson in person next year.
