“Details.”
That's the head coach of the Ontario Reign Marco Sturm he saw as the difference in the Pacific Division Finals after his club was swept by the Coachella Valley.
“They were all tough games,” Sturm told reporters following his team's season-ending 3-2 loss in Game 3 last night. The Reign entered the series 5-0 after sweeping Bakersfield and Abbotsford.
“At the end of the day, they were probably a little better and a little deeper than us. Being in qualifiers is good for your development. Small details matter. Small mistakes matter – they end up in your net. That's what they should learn.”
Another top Red Wings prospect has joined the Grand Rapids Griffins.
Detroit is ahead Nate Danielson to the Griffins after his Western Hockey League season with Portland ended. The Wings selected Danielson ninth in last year's NHL Draft.
Danielson, 19, had 67 points (24 goals, 43 assists) in 54 games for Portland this season, and finished fifth in WHL playoff scoring with 24 points (seven goals, 17 assists) in 9 games. -18 as Portland reaches the league finals. He also had a goal and two assists for Canada at the IIHF World Junior Championship last January.
Other top Red Wings draft picks on Grand Rapids' list include Marco Kasper (8th overall in 2022), Simon Edwinsson (6 in 2021), Sebastian Cossa (15th 2021), William Wallinder (32 in 2020), Aunt Tuomisto (35th in 2019) and Jonathan Berggren (33rd in 2018).
