GDT: [#3] Detroit Redwings @ Dallas Stars, 7:30 PM CST (FS-SW, NHLN)

So I'd guess Miro slides up to the top PP unit in Hintz's place? Or maybe Dellandrea?

That's a big blow to the PP. Roope is probably the best entry guy for the Stars

 

[BfantZ]

So I guess hintz got injured at morning skate ? Fml

 

[BigG44]

DeFranks confirmed they didn't use IR on Hintz so yeah they didn't have a roster spot to call a forward off the taxi squad.

 

[serp]

IR means someone is out for at least 7 days . Not something you want to use if you can help it in any way.

I think you have to go with Heiskanen ... and you're just going to have to ride the top unit for 1:30+ each PP. It's idiotic at this point to bury Heiskanen on the 2nd unit with so much personnel out.

Yeah but they can retroactive it to the day of the injury to get back some days anyway

That's only 1 more game for Jamie Benn since he would be place on IR retroactive to the injury if Dallas chose to use it. They must be confident he can play Thursday so it makes sense not to use it. If there was some thought he might not be ready Thursday, it might have been a good idea just to throw him on IR so you could have another forward.

It's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

Wondering if the massive amount of injuries around the league is because of the shortened training camps and no pre-season. Seems like it to me.

 

[M88K]

The joys of a mismanaged roster already shining through. Not that robertson was lighting it up or anything, but really who could with those linemates and his strengths not being in the defensive zone.

Not necessarily, I assume they thought the difference between Robertson and Pysyk is minimal and not worth doing the transaction.

 

[BigG44]

#3 is not possible. You can't waive a guy and replace him same day. However, this situation is a very good reason you should consider waiving Fedun. It wouldn't change today ... you'd still have 2 forwards out and not on IR, but in the long run it's probably the smarter sticking with 1 extra forward and 1 extra D so you have an open spot to call up any position you need.

 

[BigG44]

We already know that both the coach and GM have said they exclusively see him as a D. It's less of a leap to just assume Benn will be ready very soon and likely Thursday than what you're saying. Robertson hasn't fallen out of favor that far, and I'd be willing to bet they'd much rather have him in the lineup right now for the PP with Hintz out than 7 defenders. I doubt Pysyk vs. Robertson was even remotely considered. It's more reasonable to assume this is exclusively a roster issue.

 

[Satan]

Oleksiak is gross

As Jason Robertson's father, absolutely agree

I think that's a key distinction. It has nothing to with Robertson or thinking he should be playing. I think it was smart they were going to get Gardner a look over him. The injury to Hintz obviously wasn't something they anticipate, and the roster situation is dictating the lineup tonight.

 

[BigG44]

That was some big boy confidence from Dellandrea.

 

[Satan]

Love that from Dellandrea

 

[WhoahNow]

Cogliano's shot normally doesnt go over a foot high....unless theres an empty net then he shoots it over

 

[Troy McClure]

These Wings will let you take it to the net. Holy shit.

Also, the Wings coach looks like he’s wearing a $30,000 watch.

 

[BigG44]

Love that from Dellandrea

I love that Razor was looking for a phantom leg or stick that caused that puck to elevate on Cogliano. We definitely can't have Razor bad mouthing the guy's shot.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Whats Joe Veleno up to these days? Why isnt he on the Wings roster?

 

[Kcb12345]

That was a great shift from Dellandrea

 

[The Tourist]

Anyone but Cogliano and the score is 1-0. Last year it was anyone but Cogliano or Janmark but Cogs and his shot are alone this year.

 

[BigG44]

I fully expected Dellandrea to be NHL ready in his own zone. I know there's no production yet, but I'm a little surprised he's looked so good right away in the offensive zone.
