I'm pissed about losing him and Frk for nothing while we keep Miller, Ott, and Glendening on the roster. Those 3 are redundant and our problems last year were scoring and the power play, both of which Pulkky and Frk could help with. I don't know if Pulkky will become an NHL player but I do know the Wings didn't give him a chance to succeed and now they're giving up on him for nothing.
Also there is no excuse for Mantha being down in GR and Athanasiou being a healthy scratch. Holland talked a big game about getting younger this summer and then went out and did the opposite.
It's one game. Against the best team in the Eastern Conference not named Pittsburgh. But by all means dust off the Stamkos jersey and root for Tampa instead.
