[obey86]

oh yeah

 

[PullHard]

Excited to see him at this level

 

[BinCookin]

Called him up for the Philly game huh? That is interesting.

 

[Hammettf2b]

**** ya!!!! I had a feeling this would happen today. Can't wait to see what he can do!!!

 

[grewalwings]

Zetty - Pav - Abby
Tatar - AA - Mantha?
Larkin - Richards - Nike
Jurco - Glendening - ?

 

[TheMule93]

He absolutely deserves it. His play had been great in GR this season.

 

[Claypool]

I assume he'll be in front of the net on the power play. Could help I guess.

 

[Mister Ed]

I'm celebrating, but does it mean someone else is injured? Or that one of Jurco/Pulkkinen will ride the pine?

Either way, excited to see what he brings to the table.

If he makes his debut, he'll be the 900th Red Wing to play in the NHL.

 

[Hammettf2b]

AA-Larkin-Mantha

Prob won't happen though

 

[TheMule93]

AA-Larkin-Mantha (New That 70's line?)

Mantha has been waring 39 in GR, in the preseason too. Wouldn't it expect that to change

I figured as much. You quoted me before I edited it.

 

[Mister Ed]

Great news.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Ooooooh yeah

Holland ain't ****ing around

 

[The Geelee]

Larkin - Z - Gator
AA - Dats - Mantha
Nyquist - Richards - Tatar
Helm - Glendening - Sheahan

Looks good to me

Switch Sheahan for Jurco and I like it better, but it prob wont happen

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

It'll be fun to see Mantha up with the Wings, but it's also a little depressing that this is what it's come to.

Relying on a 21 yr old with no NHL experience to jumpstart this team.

 

[Vladdy84]

Great. Now sit useless Luke.

Z-Gator-Nyquist
Tats-Dats-Mantha
AA-Richards-Larkin
Riley-Helm-Jurco

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Larkin - Z - Gator
AA - Dats - Mantha
Nyquist - Richards - Tatar
Helm - Glendening - Sheahan

Looks good to me

AA is only averaging 9 minutes a game. I can't see Blashill putting two rookies with Dats on the second line.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Hopefully he gets the minutes. It would be a useless call up if he were to get 8 minutes or something like that. Do the right thing Blash!!!

 

[Flowah]

So we're not calling up XO? Rolling with 6 d and 14 F?

 

[Frk It]

Awesome news, excited to see him debut.

How many guys is Pulkkinen gonna get passed by this season?

 

[Mister Ed]

Best news so far :

 

[Frk It]

So we're not calling up XO? Rolling with 6 d and 14 F?

They said they were def calling up a defenseman for the upcoming FL-TB trip. Which should be Russo over XO, IMO.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Why do I get the feeling this means AA is coming out of the lineup?

Why do you think they're relying on him to jumpstart the team? They're probably hoping that he can help the team score goals. Calling up talented youngsters isn't a bad thing you know.
