Who's sitting for Miller? I thought he wasn't playing tonight?

 

[patekilla]

Dekeyser is smoooooove.

This is super off-topic, and I suggest we drop it promptly in the GDT, but in case anybody is interested TZE is referencing lists like this, which show actual percentage of how much a car is American.

Note that the top "American made" car, Toyota Camry, is only the #9 for percentage of American parts. Keep in mind I'm not making a judgement on good or bad, merely passing on this information.

Thanks Benchy, yeah I knew it was and tried not to go too hard after it, something that makes me see red though.

 

[Vladdy84]

Dekeyser is smoooooove.

I know. He looks so good out there despite being paired with a pylon. Wings should try to re-sign him long term ASAP. Let Q go, lock up Big E and DD next offseason.

Did they change the font on the jerseys? They look different.

The lettering (which is a variation of Bookman) is thicker during the preseason. They revert back to the thinner and normal version once the regular season starts.

I have no idea why this is.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Wow great poke check by MAF, that was a good pass by Abdelkader, almost had Weiss in alone.

 

[JmanWingsFan]

Thought I was watching Howard in net there.... Just realized I was watching Mrazek.

 

[RedWingsNow*]

False and my brain almost imploded into my neck reading that statement, I could go on for days about how wrong that is. Just because they drop the engine block and weld the doors on here doesn't mean they did much here or employ many people. Nissan does a decent amount of assembly and raw material production, but what you listed are not built here by in large and that is believing the lie they are telling you and want you to believe.

Good vehicles manufactured right here in Michigan.
Buy a Michigan-made vehicle and you're protecting your own property values, strengthening your own schools, and lowering your own taxes.'

Game talk only from here on out. Thanks, guys.

 

[KJoe88]

Jeeezzz Smith...

 

[RedWingsNow*]

Not sure how Malkin ends up 1-on-1 with Cleary -- but of course, he walked around Cleary like Cleary wasn't there

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Nifty dangles by Ouellet there.

 

[patekilla]

So is it strange that I dont feel nervous at all that Mrazek is in net...

 

[Vladdy84]

Mrazek looks very confident and sharp out there. Smith looks so frantic out there. Good play, bad play etc.

Malkin does that to a lot of people. That Malkin fellow is pretty decent.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Ouellet is the most ready of the prospects just like a lot of us expected him to be. Really a coaches best friend kind of D-man.

 

[RedWingsNow*]

Looks pretty bad for Smith-Lashoff and Smith-Quincey and Smith-Almquist tonight.
Smith made a great play on a 2-on-1 earlier though

 

[LeftBackLegend]

Smith looking completely lost out there...

 

[Syckle78]

'Smitty' is terribad

 

[patekilla]

Nice rush by smith there...

 

[RedWingsNow*]

Good rush by Smith.

 

[RedWingsNow*]

Fleury the Calgary Flamer?

 

[JmanWingsFan]

That's not even fair... What's Andersson supposed to do? Get crushed?

 

[Bench]

Looks like it's fair to say Smith is under the HFBoards spotlight.

 

[patekilla]

Mrazek = BOSS
