It’s the Dad’s Trip, y’all! You know what that means!
It means a particularly meh performance in a game that you should have had easily taken. An annual tradition, like no other.
Unlike many times before, the Red Wings seemed to have a really good start to an early-afternoon game. They handled the Sabres really well, holding the lion’s share of puck possession. Andreas Athanasiou was flying, and Michael Rasmussen was showing off his ability to use his frame. Watching him fend off players with his size and strength is something else.
