Detroit Hockey Now’s Bob Duff offers a mid-August article in which Moritz Seider and Jake Walman offer takes as to why their defensive pairing worked so very well during the 2022-2023 season:
From the moment that Jake Walman and Moritz Seider were paired on the Detroit Red Wings defense last season, it was like peanut butter and jam, fish and chips, or Abbott and Costello. They clicked instantly. Today, it’s difficult to imagine one being without the other.
“I think we just vibed really good,” Seider explained, seeking to assess why he and Walman work so well as a tandem. “I like him as a person a lot. Then it’s really easy to make plays out there. I just really like coming to work with him. Hopefully we’ll be even better next year.”
Echoing those sentiments, Walman notes that he not only meshes with Seider as a player, but they’ve also developed a tight bond as people.
“I think we have pretty good chemistry off the ice, too,” Walman said. “We enjoy each other’s company. We hang out, we joke around. It’s fun playing with him. I love him off the ice, too. Maybe it transitions to on the ice but I think we read off each other really well.”
Playing 63 games as a tandem, Seider and Walman would post a Corsi for of 50.00. They were on the ice together for just 26 even-strength goals against.
