GDT: Canucks & Wings | 7:30 PM

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Nuck are tired
Wings are rested
No Henrik to deal with
Nucks are 26th in the standings

Yeah, Wings should win this one. Then again, they should have won against Buffalo last game, so who knows.

All the more reason why, We'll most likely lose this one.

But its not just Pavel's opinion, which (youre right) isnt infallible, but is worth a lot. On top of that, a world class coach (Babbers) saw value in it. Infact, he was able to extract, career high numbers out of Abby (prior to the promotion to the Zetterberg line) and Helm. Now a new coach has came in and even he sees value in having the Piano puller. You can bet Holland is in support of his coaches as well. So now we are talking about the individual himself wanting the piano puller, two proffesional coaches and a GM. Yet, almost inspite of these established hockey minds, we (the fans) believe we have a better idea of what works best for Pav. It just doesn't make sense to complain anymore, especially when we no its VERY unlikely to change.

you say that like it means something,of course a grinders gonna put up career numbers if they get put with a star for a sustained amount of time

Helm put up 33 points in 75 games last year playing with Datsyuk and Tatar all year

is that the most points he's ever put up? yes,but so what? it's ****ing 33 points

I bet Glendening and Andersson would put up career numbers too if they played next to Datsyuk all year maybe they should be his new wingers?

haha, yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if it went either way really...

 

[Frk It]

Hmmmm... wonder what the reasoning for the change was.

I think that was always the plan. Just copied and pasted from last GDT.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

haha, yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if it went either way really...

Yep we always play poorly against teams like this that we should beat. Always play down to them.

 

[TheOtherOne]

Not always. I feel like it's mostly certain teams. I could be wrong because I'm just going by what I remember, but I think the Canucks are one of the teams that we usually should AND DO beat.

 

[Henkka]

We always play GOOD against Western Conference. Have been absolutely superb against them since moving to East.

Well let's hope the Adam Oates effect wears on our special teams, especially the pp. http://www.wingingitinmotown.com/20...t-adam-oates-joining-red-wings-for-three-days

 

[theYman]

Seems like another 3rd period lead being blown to bits again comin down the pipe again. If they even have the lead by that point. Maybe it won't matter by then. Miller goin beastmode? I hope not he hasn't been himself since leaving Buffalo.

 

[theYman]

Rumour is there is a flu bug going by, I think Tatar had it this week. It was a great week to have though, seeing they had 3 days between games.

So Tatar will be useless. great! That's good to know.

 

[Filppula]

Flip Jurco and Helm. Or call up Mantha, sit Joker.

My thoughts exactly. Immediately strengthens the lines.

Lets hope he had a positive effect on the PP. No reason we shouldn't be operating at 20% with our talent.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Well I was planning on going to the game but a little snow and people forget how to drive. Looks like I'll have to enjoy this one at home

 

[TheMule93]

We're playing a bad team on a long road trip, playing the 2nd game of a back to back, and missing their best player

I predict a loss

 

[edmundbenz]

Hoping that Adam Oates provided the Wings with brain on how to play the 3rd period.

 

[SirloinUB]

What else was dats supposed to say about Abby "He really sucks and I want more skilled players with me and the only way he can score is when I bank them in off him"

You could play Pavs with John Scott and zac rinaldo and he'd say good things about them.

Okay, so now the automatic response is to assume that a person we have never met is lying.

you say that like it means something,of course a grinders gonna put up career numbers if they get put with a star for a sustained amount of time

Helm put up 33 points in 75 games last year playing with Datsyuk and Tatar all year

I bet Glendening and Andersson would put up career numbers too if they played next to Datsyuk all year maybe they should be his new wingers?

Okay. Then why haven't either of coaches used Glenny or Andy in that role? Because they are lesser grinders.

 

[edmundbenz]

Guys, how about Wings get Johansen? He is on trading block by the Jackets.

 

[TheMule93]

Yay we got a shot,

 

[opivy]

Jurco is looking confident. Hoping he turns te corner even more.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Guys, how about Wings get Johansen? He is on trading block by the Jackets.

No thanks.

 

[TheMule93]

This game is a mirror image of our first 12 games of the season lol

Edit: in fact, the last 5 or so games have been this way

 

[hot dog]

Sure. What do you plan on giving up? Not gonna be cheap.
