Torchetti who is our current coach and is repsonsible for our PP used to coach the Minnesota PP the season before. They brought him in for the 2015-16 season. Their PP before he came in was an abysmall 27th in the league. When he came in it shot up to 15th in the league. Torchetti comes to the Red Wings and takes over from Ferschweiler (our previous PP coach) and the PP doesn't improve. Fact of the matter is with the losses of Lidstrom, decline of Datsyuk and even Zetterberg, loss of Franzen our PP doesn't have the same man power. It was good in 2015 when Nyquist showed up and scored like 14 or something ridiculous PP goals, because guess what, he was a PP specialist that could. I'll tell you what sweetie, since this pick is so bad, lets make a bet. Lets see just how elite Viliardi, Tippet, Lijegren turn out to be. I say none will amount to anything more special than Rams. Why am I this confident? Because the top picks aren't even that good dude. This is a WEAK draft and we're picking from a bunch of WEAK options. So relax. I'd take that bet... 1 LeftWinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amato 3,210 Report post Posted June 24, 2017 looks like he's got a pretty quick release based on this small sample size. I like that. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neat. Nhl network praised his progress so far too and said expect much more from him next season as well. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted June 24, 2017 Keith Petruzelli is 6'5, 2nd ranked North American goalie. Good value there. 1 Keep Your Stick On the Ice reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TLGTrico 647 Report post Posted June 24, 2017 A 6"6 goalie. I checked eliteprospects and his numbers look great. Also so much for focusing on defense. Only 2 of our 5 picks so far have been D. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted June 24, 2017 From his scouting profile: Models his style of play after Canadiens goaltender Carey Price. Well, if he can be half as good as Price he'll have an NHL future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep Your Stick On the Ice 67 Report post Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) So I like the Petruzelli pick, however, Im as upset as LeftWinger... I hate to see his mom's stock fall so much, maybe we get her in the 5th or if need be trade up. Otherwise, LeftWinger is gonna throw a sh*t fit. I mean honestly, have you all seen the scouting report? Edited June 24, 2017 by Keep Your Stick On the Ice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
