Christian Fischer knows a familiar face in the Wings’ goalie coach
FYI, per DetroitRedWings.com’s Carley Johnston:
Christian Fischer says that a phone call with Jay Varaday (whom he knew from Arizona) was what helped seal the deal for him to come to Detroit yesterday #LGRW

Christian Fischer on the zoom with a Bushwood Country Club Caddyshack hat haha. Big golf guy! #LGRW

Fischer giving a Gostisbehere scout report, says after some injuries and moving around a bit, that Shayne is starting to get back to his game and that he's a, "damn good player." #LGRW
— Carley Johnston (@carleykjohnston) July 2, 2023
I love Christian Fischer's energy #LGRW

Reimer happy to be back in an Original Six town
Per DetroitRedWings.com’s Carley Johnston…
James Reimer on the @DetroitRedWings "Stevie's obviously putting his finger print on the team and I think everyone around the league can see what's going on here. I'm excited to be a part of that." #LGRW

Reimer talked about sharing/competing for net with Husso. Says as much as they're both going to want to play in net for the team, it's more about working together and helping each other out for team success #LGRW

Gostisbehere wants to lead
From DetroitRedWings.com’s Carley Johnston:
Shayne Gostisbehere on being more of a "mentor" now in the league, at 30 y/o, what would he tell younger offensive D-men? "The big thing is confidence. When you're losing the confidence and it's not going your way, less is more. Keep It simple. Let the game come to you." #LGRW
— Carley Johnston (@carleykjohnston) July 2, 2023
Shayne Gostisbehere says he can play both sides on defense, obviously noteworthy for the Red Wings who are deeper on the left than the right
— Max Bultman (@m_bultman) July 2, 2023
Gostisbehere on being a South Florida-native, how'd he get into hockey? His Grandpa is from Montreal, they had tickets for Panthers #LGRW
— Carley Johnston (@carleykjohnston) July 2, 2023
Gostisbehere says his Grandpa, who he credited to getting him into hockey, will text him after a game if he doesn't have many shots on net 😂 hats off to Gramps, he's helped make Shayne an offensive defenseman #LGRW
— Carley Johnston (@carleykjohnston) July 2, 2023
A few quips from JT Compher’s press conference
Per DetroitRedWings.com’s Carley Johnston:
JT Compher says he's close with Dylan Larkin and Andrew Copp, went to University of Michigan with the two of them #LGRW
— Carley Johnston (@carleykjohnston) July 2, 2023
Compher says he's played center, both wings. He enjoys playing center more, but likes playing at whatever position that will help the team with success #LGRW
— Carley Johnston (@carleykjohnston) July 2, 2023
I'm excited to have JT Compher here with the Wings, you can tell he's happy to be in Detroit. Seems like a good locker room guy, can't wait to get things started #LGRW
— Carley Johnston (@carleykjohnston) July 2, 2023
JT Compher spoke a lot about his experience in Colorado. Specifically going through the rebuild process and ultimately winning a Stanley Cup. Hopes he can use that experience to help the @DetroitRedWings get there too. #LGRW
