Of Red Wings-related note this morning:
1. MLive’s Ansar Khan penned an article about top prospect Michael Rasmussen, and Rasmussen earned Grand Rapids Griffins coach Ben Simon’s praises:
Grand Rapids Griffins head coach Ben Simon, who’s running drills at development camp, said Rasmussen has a “presence to him.”
“He’s got a little bit of a swagger to him, he’s got a confidence that a lot of elite players have,” Simon said. “He’s confident in himself and his abilities and a little bit bigger, a little bit stronger. With that confidence you can see he’s making plays, he’s moving his feet, he’s shooting the puck well. From a year ago to when I saw him, he’s made tremendous strides, so he’s on the right path for sure.”
2. Also: Rasmussen appeared on yesterday’s “Shep, Shower and Shave” show on WDFN…
3. And DetroitRedWings.com’s Arthur J. Regner posted a clip of Rasmussen and Gustav Lindstrom speaking with the media as Regner’s latest “Red and White Authority” podcast:
