Hoping Ryan is a go for Saturday. They need to get his offense out there. It couldn't be any worse than what we saw last night.

 

[MBH]

Ryan should be better than Namestnikov (lol) in a net front role.
Jon Merril needs to get off the powerplay.

8 points in 24 games last year. 2 months shy of 34. Don't expect a ton.

If he plays Saturday it will be interesting to see who he plays with and who sits.

LGRW Wings rebound 3-2

 

[lhsgolf19]

So who heads to the 4th with Vlad headed to the 3rd? Hopefully Gagner

 

[ArGarBarGar]

I feel like the Wings couldn't have played any worse, so there is some silver lining leading up to this game.

 

[TheOtherOne]

I really don't see any possible excuse for Rasmussen not playing right now.

 

[Hammettf2b]

DDK still on the 1st PP unit. yuk

Yep.

Jon Merril needs to get off the powerplay.

What the info about Djoos?

But he also had alcohol problem. That behind now after a rehab.

My body is ready

It was terrifying to see him up against Aho and Teravainen on the PK, he mishandled the puck at times and just barely got himself out of trouble during the breakouts

Khan just reported it looks like Nielsen is out.

Put Cholo on unit 1.
Not gonna happen. But he's your best left-shot D, if that's what you want, to work the PP.

I'd put Mantha downlow and have Hronek at the top, but that's just me.

Well, I'd still have Cholo on the 2nd PP instead of Jon f***ing Merril.

 

[Kronwalled55]

I swear if I see another drop pass on the powerplay... especially ONLY to dump the puck in anyways.

It's almost like the consistent factor all these years is bad coaching

 

[Winger98]

Well, I'd still have Cholo on the 2nd PP instead of Jon f***ing Merril.

You wouldn't just bump Dekeyser down to PP2?

It's weird but putting guys like Dekeyser and Merril on your powerplay is like you're playing safe and trying not to get scored on...while being up a guy.

Tanking gracefully.

 

[SoupGuru]

You guys and your pearl clutching about DDK on the power play is hilarious.

Give it a rest.

There are so many other problems on the PP that I'd address first. Entries being number one. Getting rid of the puck BEFORE you're stripped is a good lesson too. Playing with your face to the boards isn't a recipe for success either. Movement. Lots of things.

 

[Shaman464]

Well, I'd still have Cholo on the 2nd PP instead of Jon f***ing Merril.

Why? He's god awful at every other aspect on the game other than PP. He's like a worse Bowey. And Detroit already can't afford to carry deadweight on the back end
