oooo I am getting excited.... moment of truth time.... are we good or....

I expect to watch Kucherov tonight and be jealous of tb.

 

[Hugh Mongusbig]

The Bolts have absolutely owned the Wings recently.
Hopefully Mantha, Larkin, Z, Nike, and Frk all have big games and Howard stands on his head.
LGW!

Kucherov has been insane so far. He’s very fun to watch.

I like the forward lines.. but man big E on the top pair will be rough to watch.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

probably a loss.

 

[Shaman464]

Wish that Blashcock would keep the kid line together, they seemed to have chemistry. But, if it ain't broke, juggle it, right?

He's looked relatively good with Daley these last 2 games, he's seems a little more aggressive defensively.

That said I expect him to be eaten alive tonight.

 

[BinCookin]

I expect E to kick ass. His level of hate is unjustified.

I prefer Mantha with Z, I think Z utilizes him so well. I kinda wish Frk was with Tats and Larks tonight.

Clowns do juggle alot

 

[Pavels Dog]

No Sheahan on the PP? Wow. How on earth will we score?

 

[Bench]

How crazy Frk is earning all this opportunity. Watching guys like that come up and surprise you is part of the fun of a season which feels a bit in limbo. Also, enjoying the hell out of Zetterberg's hockey IQ out there. He's just on another level than the rest of our team even at his age.

 

[Laser Rayzor]

If the offence keeps trucking this should be an exciting game at the very least but if our offence isn't there this is probably going to be ugly.

Mantha Z and Nyquist was ridiculous in the 3rd... No complaints from me

Start with those lines against TB

 

[RedWingzz]

Tampa 5 Detroit 2.

Kucherov
Stammer (2)
Palat
Hedman

Tatar
Helm

Helm Nielson Abby on a line? No thanks.

 

[Ezekial]

Helm Nielson Abby on a line? No thanks.

Since Frk and Abby switched that line hasn't been much more offensive and Abby/Frans/Helm is a tough line for opponents.
Frans had a goal on an EN in Arizona with Abby and Helm and a goal in Vegas coming out of the box with Z and Mantha. Helm got his other point when he wiffed the pass to Z that he was able to garner and take to Flower 1 on 1. Frk scored his goal on the PP. But as a line, not looking great.

How many times do you think we will hear about how Blashill and Cooper are BFFs

I expect E to kick ass. His level of hate is unjustified.

He's easier to watch on the top pair than DeKeyser. Same bad clearing/outlet attempts, but not nearly as physically soft down low.

Idk, Dekeyser seems to be turning into Ericsson 2.0 other than his skating ability. So it's almost a wash. Ericsson edges him out with experience and some aggressive upside.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

I have no issue with Mantha playing with Hank and Goose; that was our best line last year, and it was really hot against Vegas. Besides, it's not like Toews and Kane play together. I have no issue with keeping Larkin and Mantha apart if it works.

That said, not confident about this game. It's been a long break and we play bad after a few days off, it's Tampa who's also hot and always has our number, and they're just a better team.

So I'm hoping for the best.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Nice to see all seven fans in attendance.

 

[Ezekial]

What a f***in hit.
