Kyle Ross-Imagn Images Kyle Ross-Imagn Images When Marco Kasper scored 19 goals in his rookie season with the Detroit Red Wings, the fan base went all Charles Dickens in celebration of the event. There were great expectations for Kasper everywhere you looked.
Maybe even between Kasper’s ears, wondered Red Wings coach Todd McLellan . “I do believe when he goes home in the summer, his mind is thinking, ‘You know, that way it’s going to be a 25-goal year (next season),'” McLellan said. We know by now it wasn’t.
Not even close. The sophomore jinx came down on top of Kasper like a ton of bricks. “It’s hard as a sophomore to come back and really understand what’s going to happen,” McLellan said.
“You have to experience it a little bit. ” Boy, did Kasper ever experience it. The Austrian forward counted one point, a goal, through his first 10 games.
