I'd like to see Ray and Kane swap places for this game so they can be matched up against the Avs top line. Kane is a defensive liability.

Glad Holl is sitting.

 

[Sentinel]

I don't like the RLK line. It was terrible in Calgary. I would be willing to give them another chance... but not against the Avs.

Don't think Kane is any worse defensive liability than Drouin is against him.

Larkin will match his speed against MacKinnon and Ras tries to shut down Rantanen.

If this will go even, Red Wings will definitely win the matchup with better depth at 2-3-4 lines.

I think they will be using line 2 to go against mckinnon line. Compher would play him pretty well and as you said, kane is going to be way to slow for that line.

I don't think we have any combination to mach AVS top line

"Colorado is sometimes known as the Centennial State because it entered the Union in 1876 - one hundred years after the birth of the nation. And it seems like it's been nigh on one hundred years since the Avalanche and the Red Wings had their great rivalry. The two teams may no longer hate each other, and the Avs are looking pretty solid this season, but Detroit needs a home ice win tonight to make sure that their next playoff appearance doesn't take a hundred years."

I think it’s time to break the 10 game losing streak to them

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

It's probably been said but does anyone else think JT Compher looks like Zetterberg in the face with his helmet on?

 

[dalem177]

That Geico commercial about throwing things away...

I don't see it.

Come on Avs, you don't need this game. Play like it.

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

2 minutes in and we're hanging on by our fingernails

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

This Colorado team is excellent, I do not expect that Cup to be their last with this core.

 

[WingFanSD]

well that was nice, sedier got walked around. so far good start.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Sprong has elite talent.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Jeebus the chances.

 

[norrisnick]

Jeez Walman... no need to give it up in the crease.

 

[Austrianwing]

Avs getting away with some interference here so far...

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Lyon is proving me wrong. I love it. He might need an extension....

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Wally looking goofy tonight.

 

[KJoe88]

We’re going to make this goalie look like an all star

 

[norrisnick]

Couple good shifts so far.

Keep that up. Don't be scared of them.

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

if they're going to be this dominant offensively, and their goalie is going to make great saves through traffic, and they're going to get the benefit of every chincy icing call, this is going to be a tough game

 

[kook10]

I love Ken and Mick as much as anybody, and I love that they are even handed, but I think "THERE IT IS!!!" should be reserved for the Wings.

yeah I kind of wondered about that, I think Ken got excited because it was MacKinnon
