Ah here it is, we can talk about the game now...
Sheeham sitting out, huh? A wiley coaching maneuver on Blashill's part; after 40 games of planning and contemplating he might have hit upon a useful way to get Riley going.

Hoping Jurco is in, but as this is Ott's former team I'm betting he gets the nod.

 

[Pavels Dog]

So it only takes 40 games without a goal to get into Blashill's doghouse, eh? Guy is very tough on players, hope this doesn't kill Sheahan's confidence.

This is the free game on NHL tonight too!

 

[RedWingsfan55]

Lose 5-4

 

[Mister Ed]

Lines look to be :

 

[Pavels Dog]

Second time Sproul has been scratched after looking bad against a contender. Dallas is exactly the type of team we need him against. Will be lots of opportunites offensively.

Predict a 5-2 loss.

Holy ****! An epiphany. Sheahan is a healthy scratch. Only took half a season eh Blash? And the lines look halfway decent. Still think Larkin should be up with Z and Mantha. Once Helm's back that'll happen.

 

[chances14]

wow. blashill finally scratching sheahan. loooooong overdue

Jensen sucks! But let's put another defensive liability in with no offensive upside. Realgud!

 

[TheMule93]

Here's hoping Dallas' defense is awful enough to make us look competent offensively, leading to an entertaining game

 

[SoupGuru]

Nice work with the puck, Ott.

 

[Tatar Shots]

Ott....

 

[TheMule93]

ott should have had that out

 

[chances14]

good job 4th line

 

[rx7dryver]

Lol another point shot.

 

[grewalwings]

Have to admire the slick passes by Dallas

 

[aar000n]

No sheham!!!!

 

[TheMule93]

Jensen was also bad there - gave the puck away too easily when going to retrieve it

 

[Sheriff Bert]

Jesus Ott couldve had a rush potentially going the other way. Now we're in the hole

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

4th line gotta take those long shifts.

 

[abparry87]

Wow, we are down by 1 already... Tank is on!

 

[wings95]

Good start.

 

[korrowan]

Why is Ott still on the team? He is trash. Jenson needs to play a 10th then sent down and picked up so we never have to see him again.

40 games seems pretty fair compared to Babcock's years with Dan Cleary.
