Like we have any other "positive notes" to go off of.

That’s my doing lol. I try and find a positive stat/note going into these games. This one was tough not going to lie.

 

[Henkka]

If you have 4 points and are +2 after these disaster games, you really have done your own job well.

Problem is the others.

 

[NotLeddy]

Winnable game if they stay out of the box and actually finish on their opportunities at 5v5 and on the power play.

Oilers are riding an insane PDO high on special teams and have been giving up a lot of shots/high danger scoring chances this season (among the worst in the league), despite their 6-1-0 record. It's going to come back to earth eventually, just might not tonight if the struggles Detroit are having continue.

any word on what the lines are going to look like?

They are probably waiting to see if there is any supplemental punishment for Helm.

I think at this point its safe to safe they'll look like shit.

 

[Hammettf2b]

I just want it to be entertaining. I can't watch much more of 5-1 losses.

 

[Henkka]

I wonder what is the Holland vs. Yzerman record at the moment.

 

[TheOtherOne]

ez win, goals for Hirose and Dekeyser.

 

[Hen Kolland]

And as much as we would like it to mean something special like a young player sliding in (assuming Erne is out) what it really means is we run 11 and 7 bringing Daley back in for a bunch of good times.

Kids are in Texas, no way someone is called up for this game.

Maybe if they made a decision last night to fly someone in first thing...but odds are they will just ride 11 and 7. Which should make for an even worse level of talent.

hope Svechnikov is in Detroit or GR

 

[MikeyDee]

any word on what the lines are going to look like?

Won't matter before end of first period... "Blash's got the bingo balls out boys!", says Mickey (of course this would be from his lazyboy at home).

Holland hasnt won a single game as GM for the Red Wings this year.

 

[Ulysses31]

not upset at all with last 2 games, both were solid teams. don't expect wings to win this one but they got a puncher's chance.

And I don't think he's going to win this one too. It who'd be nice to see ex Red Wings. Wish them the best

 

[lilidk]

Don't get upset over those looses , we need to get high end talent at coming draft

 

[GreatGordie9]

I think Rasmussen should be brought up from GR and Hirose sent down. Ericsson if he plays will be after the road trip and even if he is capable he will be the 7th or 8th defenseman. Overall Biega hasn't played that badly except when Lucic took him off the puck in the Calgary game. Hronek, Cholowski have been pretty good so far. Green has shown no offense and defensive gaffes as well as penalties at costly times and honestly hope he is gone before the deadline. Daley, the same. Dekeyser has played well overall. Nemeth has been average and Bowey should take Daley's spot. In a nutshell Hronek, Cholowski, Dekeyser should be in your top four. Green, Biega, Nemeth, the bottom three on D

Helm fined

Helm fined

This seems really weird to me. Are players fined for slashing? Is that normal? And the slash didn't even look that bad to me.

 

[Shaman464]

Helm fined

He lost his pay for a shift or two.
