GDT: Detroit Red Wings @ Minnesota Wild 2/17/13 5 PM CT

[grN1g]

russo's guessing PMB, and Mitchell taken out tonight, and he's been right every time so far.

here is what he was guessing and saw at practice.

Parise Koivu Heatley
Granlund Brodziak Setoguchi
Zucker Cullen Clutterbuck
Rupp Konopka Larsson

Suter Spurgy
Stoner Gilbert
Brodin Prosser

 

[Fel 96]

I seriously have a very good feeling tonight. Wild win 3-1.

Not to mention, Datsyuk is a game time decision so we know he isn't 100%.

This just doesn't make sense in so many ways...

 

[Casper]

Suter Spurgy
Stoner Gilbert
Brodin Prosser

wtf?

 

[Aapo]

wtf?

Exactly. I can buy that you don't want to throw in Larsson and Zucker in the fire immediately, but breaking up Brodin and Suter for this...?

 

[PariseSuterKoivu]

I think the Wild will come out with good energy and get an early lead.

You should re-read what he said.

The 2nd/3rd lines guessed by Russo were actually:

Zucker-Cullen-Seto
Granlund-Brodziak-Clutterbuck

 

[Th3 HoMeR 96]

Have fun playing the Detroit Griffins tonight

 

[Fel 96]

So, how about that Mrazek kid?

Looking forward to see him play tonight.

woops, i stand corrected.

wtf?

My guess is Yeo wants to spread the talent on the back end, with spurgy back he really only fits on the top pair with suter, and yeo has shown he will not break up stoner and gilbert yet (idk why... stoner has been brutal imo) so that means brodin down to the 3rd. Now you have 3 pairs all with a dman who can skate and break out.

Its always fun to watch new goalies. Love it. Plus, we'll see him pulled for the first time in the NHL, too.

 

[Th3 HoMeR 96]

Yeah I'm excited. His first game against the Blues he played stellar. We shall see tonight.

 

[grN1g]

question is should i drop one of my under performers for Mrazek start? any start against the wild is a good one so far.

 

[Casper]

yeah i see the logic but man, having the top pairing broken up is a tough pill to swallow. this line up needs to find some sort of consistency.

 

[Fel 96]

Don't forget to bet!

Those odds...

 

[TZM]

Projected lineup according to wild.com

 

[Fel 96]

If Bouchard is out, the Wild will have to insert Zucker or Larsson into the lineup:

Parise - Koivu - Heatley
Brodziak - Granlund - Setoguchi
Zucker- Cullen - Clutterbuck
Mitchell - Konopka - Rupp

If Falk is out, Nate Prosser will be back on the blue line:

Suter – Spurgeon
Gilbert – Brodin
Prosser – Stoner

From the link.

The D pairings make more sense now.

tough to find consistency when everyone not named Brodin, Suter, and Gilbert aren't capable or experienced dmen, or don't fit in the lineup anywhere outside a certain role (spurgy w/ suter). one of the big reason's we can't play yeo's system properly imo.

 

[Fel 96]

@RickBronwell tricky hard at it getting Larsson's game jersey ready #greatjob

[Aapo]

So Larsson will be playing then!

 

[Fel 96]

I don't get the "OR" but I still expect both players to play..

 

[Ceiu]

Don't forget to bet!

Those odds...

Gonna do the wiener thing and bet the Wild lose again. Win/win for me.

Fully expecting a fairly low-scoring win, however. 2-1 Wild.

To be fair, Suter and Brodin didn't play together more than a few shifts from the 3rd on against the Avs. The switch may have been made in the 2nd, but I was too busy trying to keep an eye on the bench for Clutterbuck to notice for sure.

 

[Fel 96]

Sounds like a good plan.

 

[Victorious Secret]

I bet it all on the Wild. 1152 on the Wild. Had to take those odds.
