Have folks looked at the upcoming schedule? Many road games ahead. Need a win tonight and then become road warriors. Through the bad few weeks they are only 1 point out of first place.

No long slumps please.

No excuses now, we've got the lineup out there everyone wanted. Time to win some games.

Yeah if XO is in I doubt they ever lose again. Next stop? World Peace.

I'll be at the game tonight! My first trip to the Joe since 1990ish. Any ideas on a fun (and cheap!) New Year's Eve thing to do in Detroit with the Wife?

You could go to Greektown. Tons of bars and eateries as well as casinos.

 

[hot dog]

I'll be there as well. I'm just happy Ouellet is in.

 

[BlakKy]

This is the lineup we all wanted

 

[Sheriff Bert]

This is the lineup we all wanted

Defensively speaking. Looks like Weiss is still trapped on the 4th line, and Jurco on the second. Keep in mind Jurco hasn't scored a goal in his last 15 games.

This is the lineup we all wanted

Prediction: We will win because Babs cracks down and all of HF will say they knew all along if we put XO in all would be well. Holland is dumb.....ect....

I am pretty confident no one is going to say that. I am also pretty confident no one is going to overreact like that.

Holland is dumb. We don't need anymore evidence to support that assertion anymore.

Anyway, i will be attending tonight's game. Looking forward to seeing Ouellet play.

I'd rather switch Helm and Weiss, personally.

I love that these two are interchangeable. Babs has been quick to shuffle them around. How many of those 15 games has Jurco been on the 4th line? He's due for a break out offensively.

 

[Sheriff Bert]

Helm or Jurco would work. Jurco has played better on the 4th though and has gained points while on that line. Helm has played his best around Pav. My personal forward lines would be:

Z-Pav-Helm
Tats-Sheahan-Abby
Nyquist-Weiss-Mule
Miller-Glenny-Jurco

Swap Helm, Weiss, and Jurco as needed.

He hasn't played much on line 4 because Andy was in, and Weiss was injured. But when he was demoted, he actually scored more for some reason.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Jurco hasn't been bad, he's just young and developing, and he's just very streaky as this level.

That is fantastic advice. Just marvelous.

Enjoy the Joe tsbilly.

 

[SoupGuru]

I think Jurco feels less pressure when playing on the 4th line. He looks more loose and energetic.

ericson and Howard are playing and mantha is still down with Pulkkinen. Meaning this isnt the best Red Wing team we can field.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Howard's got a .921 save percentage and has been very good this year, Mantha SHOULD be down, he hasn't done anything to warrant being on the team, and where does Pulkkinen fit in our top 9? You never presented an alternative to Ericsson, either. No guarantee that Jensen/Marchenko/Sproul would be better than him.
