Welp I'm buying a #21 Cholowski jersey.

Need to replace my old 21. I hope he gets a hatty in Toronto tonight, though. I'm glad a prospect I've liked a while took it.

Please tell me it's 'Rocket Man' Paul Ysebaert you're replacing

He seems like he was probably a Leino fan to me. :-P

Haha

Apparently #21 has been worn by more wings players than any other number. Highlighted by Adam Oates and Tomas Tatar. 4 guys wore 21 in 1956

Hopefully Cholowski is the last

That second line looks a bit odd. I'd swap Nyquist and Bert, but who knows. Now is the time to experiment! Go Wings!

 

[Henkka]

Fire Blashill now if Rasmussen isn't net front lol

Fire Blashill, because Holland signed Bylsma to build the power-play.

 

[Hinterland]

So, Hronek or Hicketts will play as well. This will be a fun opening game.

They'll both play. Jensen sits.

 

[Henkka]

Has Cholowski played on the right side much? I’d kind of prefer to put him on the left side.

He played on two preseason games. Another was with Kronwall.

It looked like it didn't matter at all. He just does his thing.

O/T but Ouellet just started vs. TML over pricey/over-rated Karl Alzner...happy for XO. IIRC XO scored 2 goals in 1 game in the preseason.

I always like XO. Wasn't very good with Detroit but he had a lot of heart in my opinion. Reminded me of myself when I played competitive hockey.

 

[Ezekial]

I always felt XO was skating ability away from being a really solid player in this league.

 

[PelagicJoe]

Should I get center ice or nhl.tv?

Probably not, i'll pm you why

 

[TatarTangle]

Third line looks good. Vanek and AA need someone that can forecheck.

 

[A Few Good Males]

anyone heading to the game tomorrow?

 

[Tatar Shots]

anyone heading to the game tomorrow?

Yep

 

[TravelingHockeyFan]

Can't wait for Hockey Season to start!

 

[A Few Good Males]

Yep

nice, same. don't think I'll be able to dip outta work in time for the red carpet deal, which is a bummer. went last year and it was pretty cool.

Yea I won’t be there either. Still pumped to head back to the arena

 

[Ulysses31]

wings can win this with injured BJs D

 

[Ezekial]

haha BJs D

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Let's get a win for Fugu. I'll be rooting for the Wings.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Only 8 free agent signings, 3 of whom were of undrafted: Glendening, Dekeyser, Sulak.

18/23 home grown players.

Is that about average for teams? I'd love to see the makeup of other teams and see if there's a pattern.

not sure where to find makeup for all teams, other than looking at other teams rosters and using memory/eliteprospect/hockeydb. but i'm pretty certain that is above average.

 

[SCD]

I would much rather see Hronek run a PP unit than Daley.
