    » #27 Michael Rasmussen “A”: Big Michael Rasmussen looked like he’d found another gear on Sunday. The 23-year-old stands at 6’6″ and 211 pounds, and on Sunday, at least, he was dominant physically, he won faceoffs, he distributed the puck well to his teammates and he took hard, accurate shots on goal while playing a hard-charging, hard-working and consistent game. He was exciting to watch playing alongside skilled players, and while he seems to be destined for the Red Wings’ “checking line” to start the regular season, “Big Ras” looks like he’s going to challenge for a higher slotted spot, and work damn hard to earn that better spot.  »

    » #51 Eemil Viro: A mature defenseman at 20, Viro has been paired with try-out Jeremie Biakabutuka for a good chunk of the prospect tournament and now training camp, and that’s a testament to the Wings’ belief that Viro can get players with less experience out of trouble. He made the Liiga final with TPS Turku this past season, and the 6’1,” 177-pound Viro is wiry, but he makes up for his lack of size by skating superbly well, tracking the puck and the puck carrier with his hips, and using his short stick to break up passes, shots and scoring chances against. He can turn and burn going the other way and generate passes, shots and scoring chances on his own, too, but he’s going to land somewhere in the middle between an offensive and defensive defenseman, as necessity dictates.  »
