Quick Thoughts on Game 1 for the Wings

Last night was ugly. But, St. Louis is the team to beat in the west in my opinion and the Wings were at their worst. Let's give them a mulligan.

Even so, I continue to not like the Tootoo and Samuelsson signings. Tootoo simply does not fit this team, and Samuelsson is taking the spot of one of Nyquist or Tatar who are both ready to contribute in the NHL.

But the biggest problem last night was that Kyle Quincey is a shell of the player that the Wings thought they were getting. He was bad when we acquired him last year, and last night he was awful. In the "defense by committee" the Wings are running, he can't be that bad.

But I'm going to see what the next two games against clubs the Wings should handily beat bring before making too many judgments.
