Well it never helped that Blashill's offensive strategy was skate up ice fast take one bad angle shot, turn the puck over for an odd man break the other way. Rasmussen was never able to use that big frame, set up on the offense, and cause havoc in front of the net. He's definitely getting that chance now. That line is going to wear teams out.
The puck follows Soderblom around. That's a trait of very high IQ players like Raymond/Seider. He knows where the puck is going to be and is a few steps ahead at all times. I've loved watching him play so far! #LGRW
My god, that's the perfect name for this line. As excited as I was to see them, they've exceeded every expectation thus far. Looking forward to seeing more.
I've watched the Red Wings for decades and I'm impressed. Honest to god, in that first game vs the Canadiens, I dare say that that was the most dominant Red Wings line I've ever seen not named "The Russian Five". It was like watching the Russian Five's debut against Calgary. They had the puck all night and controlled the game when they were on the ice. Once they were in the zone, you couldn't get them out of your offensive zone. Just impressive. Now, for a long term basis... we'll see. But for game one.... absolutely dominant.
You hit the nail on the head in regards to the Russion five, the puck control is something special to watch, so amped up for this Season for the Wings. It will be interesting to see through the season what the coaching staff does with the special teams& with the option of using the Redwood line for options. What a" fitting" name for this line." Go Wings"! Wing nut for life..
Quite the 3rd line we got here, I love this Redwood line! Hope they keep this line together because it'll be so fun watching them this year. They'll just get better and better the longer they play together. We might finally have a replacement for the Draper Maltby McCarty grind line.
It's such a refreshing feeling. Last year while watching games, you couldn't wait for Larkin, Raymond, and Bertuzzi/Seider to get back on the ice, because once their shift ended the Wings play was kind of bleak. Yes we had Vrana, and Zadina which was decent. But it's just nice now that we have way more reliable lines. One second it's Larkin, next it's Copp's line, next it's Soderbloms line.
Love that Sundqvist grabbed that puck immediately, looks like the makings of some team chemistry, few early wins is excellent, showing results means they’ll only buy in more.
@@checkonline9324 How so? I was talking about size. The pairing hasn't worked amazingly but they certainly aren't bad together. Doesn't help that both Seider and Raymond are having their sophomore slumps even though Seider is playing fine at the same time some how lol.
The best attribute Sunny brings is knowing when he is on the ice. He knows how to bring his presence in the quietest and also the loudest ways. Idk why STL let him go. Basically the epitome of what won STL their cup.
He's still recovering from the trippel surgery (both hips and a knee). Didn't play in the pre season - still goes out and battle. Says a lot about his character.
As you can see in this video, he's in good hands. Still think he's recovering from his surgery, but he's found awesome chemistry on the Redwood line. I'm hoping that the Wings keep him on the 3rd line all season with Ras and Elmer, because it seems like the perfect spot for him.
Soderblom is playing like he wants to stay in the line-up! He is a great fit on a "Redwood line." Even if they don't score a lot of goals, they will be tough to play against, and teams will have to match top defensive pairings against them.
Imagine putting the Redwood line with Seider and Edvinsson on the ice as a pairing, with Cossa in net. That has to be the largest combination of players on the ice at a given time for one team in NHL history, right?
Soderbloms an amazing talent, his physicality, decision making and spacing aren't perfect, but he has the skill and iq to adapt. If he can stay away from injuries, this giant will have an amazing career
I'm impressed with many of the new guys. This line is incredible. However, I believe 1 of the other Wings to watch is #23 Lucas Raymond. From what I have seen, he's got the potential to be another Stevie Y #19.
9:52 Elmer takes the puck from the center face off and dumps it in the offence zone corner. Normally a very bad move since he was the front guy and his d-man was totally available and should have gotten the pass from Soderblom. But... Elmer chase down and gets his own dump in, winning the board battle as he did over and over again. Wonder what the coach thought about that play?
my only critique of Soderblom thus far is with his frame I really wish he was physical and deliberate in his checks. But again that could amount to a lot of headchecks sooo its like a double edged blade.
Imagine a sniper on that line !?!?! I know it's a stretch, but why not try this for an experiment ; One guy on defense ( guess who), add Vrana. Bake and serve .
I was thinking Zadina... I think He played very well in preseason and camp. He was one of the most improved. I would like to see what he could do on that line.
I recommend watching some of Elmer's tape from the SHL. IceHockeyGifs has a reel of him. That guy has a laser of a wrist shot. Frolunda used him from the right faceoff circle on their powerplay, rather than as net front. And he was quite lethal from that spot.
Laughing at commentators' limited knowledge of former 'big man' lineups; don't they remember Flyers Legion of Doom line ?? Trying to think of other " skyscraper linemates" through the years as well. Detroit could become scary good with just a touch more "Stevie Y" doggedness and settle the goalkeeping question right now. My 2 cents. {:))
The Redwood Line are bigger then Flyers Legion of Doom line. The Redwood Line average length is 6´6 and 230 lbs. Eric Lindros is 6´4, John LeClai is 6´3 and Mikael Renberg is 6´2

That's a cool name - but wouldn't "The Tree Line" be an even better one? Not as obviously huge as redwoods - but a "tree line" is a thing in itself just like a "production line" is, right?
The Wings will likely challenge for a playoff spot this year and likely be a power in 2-3 years. There are far worse places to be than a rapidly improving O6 team with Yzerman as GM.
Soderblom showing some signs that he could be a special player. Looks happy to be there.
That line is going to be one of the best forechecking lines in the league.
so happy to see the confidence in Rasmussen’s game
He really started getting better at the end of last year. I'm happy to see him improving.

Not only is soderblom big but he's shifty and sneaky quick. Can control the puck as good as anybody.
I didn’t realize how much quickness he’s got and his puck control. Unbelievable
@fredirecko call them what?
@@Nall412 big…because apparently anything is deemed as ”offensive” in this day and age
@@dwaynethewokjohnson7773 lmao. Omg. What. That offended him?
Soderblom is a bigger Mario Lemieux, he has the size, the speed, the puck control
Söderblom should do a summer training camp with Datsyuk.
Big Sod is gunna be a menace. What a great gem! Love the 'Redwood' line with Moose heading it.
I can't tell if the puck is following Soderblom around or if it's just never too far out of his reach 🤔
🤣👍
i think both are happening all at once.

Having them paired with the Seider/Chairot pairing is just unfair lol
LMAO wait till Cossa comes in
This did not aged well

Coach Lalonde showing respect to the big boys starting the game with them in NJ.
I love how the entire city just knows that “big boys” = the redwood line.
Cant wait to see this line grow as the season goes on. Hopefully not to much or idk how we will fit them inside
bunch of beauties, love that name "The Redwood Line" absolutely killer
I miss Sunny in STL. Dude is a dynamo.

I love Mr. Soderblom with his foam finger lol
Simon Edvinsson is gonna be a Red Wood on that back end in short order!
Soderblom, Sundqvist, Rasmussen, Seider, Edvinsson. That’s gonna be a nightmare for teams to deal with.

been saying this for a while now, Red Wings are going to be a scary team in the near future
Love your videos, keep ‘em coming!
What a great name for this line!!
two games and already 12 min worth of highlights
It's the March Of The Ents!
This is going to be a scary third line to play
This line should be permanent, they are very intimidating
Excellent content as always!

Good point
I remember when the Wings would routinely give up goals to players making their NHL debut. Nice to see the opposite for once.
It's only a short matter of time before Red Wings are terrifying again. Sheesh
I think we should be calling it the Fezzik line 😆
the new grind line?
i knew sodorblom wasnt a normal prospect after i saw him at his first prospect skate with detroit. he skated like a guy half his size.
Yup! Outside of Seider, Soderblom was the best wings player on the ice. Didn’t think he got enough credit that camp
@@bigdust0392 pretty sure he fought albin grewe that camp too. wonder what happened to him
Rasmussen
Elmer
Oskar
REO Meatwagon Line?
REO Beefwagon Line?
Ed Snyder would be dry heaving at the sight if this line

Reminds me of the old grind line lol
Like Homer sitting almost in the paint picking up garbage.

Ken Kal, the radio announcer
Kind of disappointed this is the name it's getting instead of the Jotun-Line
Not enough Vikings left to get the reference.

yeah STL is just dominating the league and has won multiple cups😅😅 STL has been a power house for decades eh🤣🤣🤣
