The Detroit Red Wings rallied to beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 in a shootout Wednesday night. Several things stood out but boy, one guy in particular really stood out. So we’ll start with the most obvious observation: Bobby Ryan deserves a contract.
Suffice it to say, Ryan came, saw, and conquered in Chicago and possibly earned himself the contract he wasn’t offered in the offseason. A goal, an assist, and the winning shootout goal was more than enough. But while on the ice, Ryan’s presence was notable. Setting up plays, maintaining possession during the Wings sole power play chance, and driving the offense.
