Probably the best puck movement we’ve had all year tbh. Haven’t seen us make that many 5-10 foot passes all year. AA should play the middle the remainder of the year
Z played nearly 21 minutes tonight and I thought he looked gassed by his last few shifts. Even if they aren't going to play the kids more, maybe it's time to see if Nielsen can earn his contract a bit and shoulder more minutes.
Which for the life of me, and I'm sure many others, I'm not sure why not.

Nielsen on pace for a career low in points (barring truncated seasons). And only 4 years left on that juicy deal as he turns age 34 next month. Ouch.
And I actually like Frans as a player. But there's no way he lives up to this deal, right?

Probably not, but it might not look so bad if he was given more of an opportunity to. How long did he get stuck as a "shutdown" line this year? The Wings pay the guy $5m and relegate him to being Glendening Deluxe.
edit: something nice to think about here. Add Weiss's buyout to it and we're paying anywhere from around $6.3m to $7.8m a year to fill that spot.

This team is ssssssssoooooooooo boring . I miss Pavel so much
I sure as sh** don't think XO should be in the lineup. I think Witkowski should be playing with the Wings. The few games he has played in he has shown that he has the old school mentality, almost like the enforcer role. I was actually at the Avalanche game and it frustrated the hell out of me to see maybe 2 players actually try. No one was finishing their checks and it really didn't seem that many of them cared. I miss the good old days where the ref's actually let the guys play the game. No p***yfooting around, if there was a big hit or a hit on the captain, players stuck up for eachother. Its kind of fu**** that the Players Safety people are taking that away. I have been a Wings fan my whole life and it is really tough to watch them play this way. If only we could bring back Stevie Y in management... I think he would get us back to where we used to be....I mean look at what he has done in Tampa. Just my 2 cents.
It's perplexing to me. He's obviously solid defensively, but he's also no slouch offensively. His career shootout numbers are insane considering how many attempts he has. You don't rock that kind of % if you're primarily a shutdown guy. Him with Mantha and Bert would've made a lot more sense than playing him with Helm and Abby.
Yeah, I'd like to see some of the IT broken up differently. AA, Bert, Larkin, and Mantha ended up with fair amounts. Bump five minutes or so off Z's total and divvy that up to Svech and Frk. They aren't centers so how guys are used would need to be tweaked a bit, but I don't think that'd be the worst thing.
Rule 69.1 (bolded by me):That was BS goalie interference. AA got robbed of a nice goal.
But better we lose, this time the incompetence of the video reviews work for us.
