Oie. I get us being careful with Hoffman, but the D is same old, isn't it.

Also, those forward lines are pretty ugly. Puempel on that second line again just makes no sense to me, totally the wrong type of player for the two other players, but I guess it is what it is at this point.

Seriously. Either switch Prince and Puempel or Ryan with Stone.

I'm sure Coach Maclean is seeing something in practice with these lines that we just aren't seeing in the games.

 

[Mingus Dew]

I thought Ryan looked pretty good with Turris and Stone last night. Wouldn't mind seeing more of that.

Alas...

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I'll be at this one so I was hoping Hoffman would be back and Wideman would draw in. I'm also going with 6 other Wings fans and 1 Leafs fan. Should be a good time.

On the plus side the Wings kinda stink too right now so maybe I'll get to see a win. Also for some reason we usually play the Wings really good at the Joe.

Wiercioch slotted in on the second pair again??? He was terrible last night.

 

[Back in Black]

Please SENS, pull another one out of your hat in Detroit!

7:30 on TSN

I feel your pain. But Boro and Cowan wern't exactly studs last night eights? Who in the heck else is there? we are at the mercy of these three sub-optimal defensemen!!!! I feel so helpless

Me going through that line-up list from top to bottom...

 

[operasen]

I'd hope for a D with
Methot - Karlsson
Cowen - Ceci
Borowiecki - Wideman

On the top end, assuming Hoffman is a no go, Ryan could continue to build with Turris. McCormick should play his natural position as RW. Prince can really get Zibanejad moving.

Ryan - Turris - Stone
Puempel - Pageau - Michalek
Prince - Zibanejad - McCormick
Chiasson - Smith - Neil

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Ceci-Karlsson
Cowen-Methot
Boro-Wideman

Just because I can.

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

How has McCormick looked so far?

 

[operasen]

Any news on status of Lazar? Hoffman??

 

[God Says No]

Wiercioch slotted in on the second pair again??? He was terrible last night.

I think Cowen and Boro were worst than him last night. In general the D was not good.

How has McCormick looked so far?

Meh. He's been average at best.

 

[Smash88]

Any news on status of Lazar? Hoffman??

Looks like both are still out for tomorrow.

Lazar is progressing but no timetable for a return. Hoffman says he will most likely be back for Saturday's game.

 

[Larionov]

How has McCormick looked so far?

He's working hard, but it's difficult to see where he has made an impact or what his role would be as an NHL regular...

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

Crazy, isn't it. Ryan plays well and gets a goal with Turris and heavily contributes to a Turris goal with Stone, and yet he is still back with Zib.

I guess with only 3-4 legit top 6ers, Cameron wants to spread the lines. But with the injuries I'd just load up the top line and move Milan with Zib and Prince.

IIRC Bobby killed it vs the Wings last year. Hoping for more of that even though his line will likely have zero chemistry.

Whatever.

Take out the stick man and put in the wide man. Or Boro

 

[Sensinitis]

Can't wait for Hoff to come back
