Not a lot of love for Fabbri around here considering he's scoring at a 55 goal pace

 

[SantosHalper]

10-3 Wings

That friend better be Lady Luck!

She is Irish.

 

[Nut Upstrom]

So tonight's the night...

I think I'm going to be sick.

People hate Fabbri. They hate, hate, hate. And then they say things like, "oh, I don't hate him, I just don't like that he's injured so often." Or, "oh, I don't hate him, but he can't play defense." Or, "No, I don't hate him, it's just that I hate him." THEY HATE HIM. Everyone hates him. I'm pretty sure Jesus said, "hate not the talented, hard-working winger who gets injured, lest ye be injured!" And yet people just keep on hating him, thumbing their nose at Jesus, tempting fate. It's wild, man.

It can't be that long. I'm not getting old.

What was that? Speak up. And get off my lawn!

I liked Fabbri once but then a bird flew into my tailipe and blew the whole secondary warp coupling. I've hated him ever since.

What I love most about Fabbri and what I'm guessing is one of the things Yzerman saw in him is the dude is an absolute gamer.

His lower body is probably 50% cadaver parts at this point but he always plays like he cares and isn't afraid to go anywhere and get into it.

If it was possible to frankenstein Fabbri's compete level (yes I said it) with Mantha's body and skillset it'd be an elite first line player.

10-3 Wings

This would be what we should expect, but I'm betting it probably end 5-4 in overtime. We put on a clinic in the first 40 and leave Husso alone out there for the third.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Zadina on the 4th line with Mike Hoffman. Those snipers!

MacKenzie Blackwood on net.

I hear that #18 kid was a high pick once upon a time. The sharks should give him a chance on the top line instead of stifling his development on the 4th.

 

[19 for president]

What I don't like about Fabs on the 1st line is that it sort of turns Ray back into the puck retriever. I like it better when he can be a playmaker/ offensive focus guy. He can do it (see Larkin, DBC, Ray Line) but it does effect his offensive output when he has to be the puck retriever.

As for Veleno centering line 2, I don't mind it at all. He can be the puck retriever and defensive guy like he was doing with Larks/Ray. Having his wheels will help with the breakout for that line, and Kane (going off older playing ability) distributes the puck like a center typically would. So you can pair him with less of a standard playmaking center and still have a very effective line when he is paired with a sniper like DBC.

Now with all that said, its all going to depend on what pace Kane can play with. He may end up being a 3rd/4th liner at even strength and top line PP guy if his hip doesn't let him skate like we hope.

 

[Ezekial]

Aww, but Olczyk is such a universally likeable guy. You just HATE to see it.

Honestly when I used to listen to local sports radio my dislike for him slightly waned when I wasn't listening to him ever talk about the Wings, but over the past couple TNT seasons I remembered why I thought he blew chunks. f*** Eddie O.

I suck at forums, cant make the video show up like most people, have to click the link

excited to see kaner

 

[The Flying Octopus]

Zadina on the bench tonight

“If only I had those players around me!”

Then he’d be riding the bus in GR after being waived to make room for Kane.

 

[FMichael]

Yeah, but we gotta clarify a couple a 2 or 3 things here...Northern Italian, Southern Italian, or Sicilian?

These things matter ya know?

 

[dalem177]

Mantha's body

Southern. Grampa was from Campobasso.

"The old song says that the shark bites with his teeth, but never gets any red on him. The San Jose Sharks have been showing lots of bite lately, and don't seem content to swim along in the depths any longer. For Detroit we do indeed have someone getting some red on them, and that someone is of course Patrick Kane in a Red Wings jersey for the first time. Kaner's big question mark at this point in his career is his health but Wings' players and fans alike are hoping that he can use that question mark as a hook tonight, and help drag the Sharks where they don't want to be."

Yeah, I understood the case is very minor thing, but because we have roster luxury, they just rest these guys.

Henkka, your name came up during the last game thread, and I have two things to say to you:

1) You, sir, are a hockey genius. You predicted we'd be an offensive juggernaut because of our depth. You were right.

2) I apologize for mistaking you for...a Swede. I cannot apologize enough for such a loathsome insinuation.

The only way to atone is to make him...
