GDT: Oilers at Wings, February 7, 7:30

[SoupNazi]

McDavid rides into town and brings Kenneth Holland with him (maybe).

Maybe Kenny can leave with Chia and leave someone/thing behind.

Looks like the staff doesn't have any idea what to do with Zadina either. Might continue riding the bench and waiting out an injury

 

[Mister Ed]

If Hronek is practicing witth his regular line-mate, I think it looks good that we see him play on Tuesday.

These were from yesterday's practice, before Zadina was officially recalled and Hronek got hurt.

Woops. Yeah, important to note that these were from yesterday, before Hronek got hurt.

...I still don't see how we make room for Zadina as I look at our winger depth

Wild Speculation: Larkin and McDavid have a whispered dialogue on ice and exchange jerseys after the game, and the rumor mill crashes HFB for several hours.

So we're gonna try this Zadina thing again? At least he's in over Erne not sure if that's a wash or not. I hope Hronek can play? What did he do during practice? Is he made of glass?

 

[Frk It]

since our last game...

Hasn’t missed a single game this season.
Played in 182 of the last 186 Wings games overall.

If only our entire team was made of the same glass…

Filip "Gorilla Glass" Hronek.

Zadina just hold place for Suter, he will not play

They're going to sign in Toronto with Matthews and Marner and create a mega-team that's nothing but natural forwards. Larkin will convert to RD.

 

[Ezekial]

I convinced myself the game was tonight, now I feel bad.

 

[Czechboy]

No Czech is safe in Detroit.lol

In summer I was all excited about Bednar at the Jrs (he was awful and lost his job), Kubalik on line 1 (for about a month), Vrana getting 30 goals (may not get 30 games), Zadina finally 'arriving' (he has not) and Hronek 'taking a step' (which he did).

1 for 5.

I guess Hasek stopped more than pucks.

Got your Wings got your Oilers

6-1 wings Larkin hat trick

 

[GreatGordie9]

6-1 wings Larkin hat trick

To be realistic, how about a 4-2 Wings win

[Henkka]

Bertuzzi - Suter - Raymond <-- insert Larkin in here
Rasmussen- Copp - Perron
Berggren - Veleno - Fabbri
Kubalik - Zadina - Sundqvist <-- insert Suter in here

Zadina benched.

Walman-Seider
Chiarot-Hronek
Maatta-Oesterle
(Hagg-Lindstrom)

Husso
(Hellberg)

I wonder... Oilers usually have had weak game at Detroit. Not interested at all or something. Or maybe Larkin can handle the McDavid speed and shut him down.

 

[dalem177]

"Edmonton is a town that leads to troves of Albertan oil and diamonds, but most would probably agree that the Oilers' greatest resource these days is Connor McDavid. Look for the Red Wings to focus tonight on plugging that gusher of goals while he's on the ice, and with some diligent exploration of the offensive zone, perhaps getting a few lucky strikes of their own in net." - Plausible Keats

Oh, it's on espn+, guess I'm not watching it then... Seriously, let's have the best player in the world unwatchable to people who still just do cable and not streaming. This frickin league man.
