[Ezekial]

Same lines as last game in practice, Booth was Z placeholder. 11-7 is to be expected.

Big game for both the tank brigade and the playoff hopefuls.

Florida playing better lately. Still, I think Detroit wins this.
Detroit has a nice, soft schedule in January.

It was about as instantaneous as it gets. I hit the DRW button after posting and was very confused for a second.

Atta boy AA!

Ekblad didn't retreat and he paid the price.

Teams are going to need to start giving the blue-line to AA and Larkin if they hope to stop them.

 

[TheMule93]

Wow AA

 

[Ezekial]

It's the AA show in Detroit nowadays.

 

[Claypool]

Poor Ekblad hahaha

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

LGRW Detroit 4 Florida 2 make it 4 in a row boys.

 

[H3ckt1k]

Man I love AA.

edit holy MOD he had another chance lmao

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Poor Ekblad hahaha

You make that read wrong in the modern NHL and you're in big trouble.

 

[TheMule93]

No reason for Abby to take a whack there, whether you agree it was slashing or not. The sole tent of such an action is to injure. There's literally no way Abby could play the puck there unless he suddenly grew 5 inches and used charas stick

Everybody knows that drafting the 15th best player is pretty much the same as drafting the best. Who needs a rebuild, really?

The players aren't tanking. I get having that view, but these aren't going to lay down. Plus when we are winning this year it is usually our young guys carrying us to that and it is good for their development. I am sure we will cool back down our D is too bad to be a playoff team. A bottom 10 finish is a near certainty with that group.

The players never tank, though. That's why the GM has to intervene.

Not good stuff Tatar....

This long into his NHL career.... I don't get why he still makes a bunch of his turnovers like that near the blueline.

 

[TheMule93]

really haven't played that well tonight

Easily the most frustrating player to watch on this team. Constantly goes offside with his excessive stick-handling.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

The Panthers broadcast (forced to watch that tonight) just talked about how thrilled the Little Caesars guys must have been to see a real NHLer... Yeah um Potvin Kris Draper is one of their coaches.

No we have not, we are making the turnovers that usually doom us. The Panthers have tilted the ice big time.

Howard has been excellent and lucky the couple of times he was available to be beaten. But he looks really on top of it tonight.

 

[Redder Winger]

Wings are winning but Florida has already beaten Howard clean twice
