WJC & NHL all day long. Best time of the year.

 

[Actual Thought*]

They will either rise to the occasion or fall out of playoff contention in the next 10 games. With 9 of 10 on the road this is the stretch that will define their season.

 

[Vladdy84]

So glad we got USA/CAN and Wings hockey today.

Can we please play Nosek and XO?

Sit Joker and Kindl.

*Nevermind. XO got sent down..

 

[ap3x]

Smells like OT.

 

[TheMule93]

I'm stuck in Canada. Will try to stream the game on my phone. I'm leeching off of someone's wifi here. When I connect to this guest wifi it redirects to a website where I have to enter a password, but I bypass it using a VPN haha

Lgrw

We owe you all a loss today thanks to a few weeks ago. It's only fair and all. Btw, I was up at the Joe for that game and was treated respectfully and that was nice. Thanks to anyone that may have spoken with me at the game or ice skating downtown. I'm actually doing the unthinkable tonight and bringing a Wings fan to the game with me so he can see Larkin. I hope for a good game.

 

[ap3x]

Cheers. Hope you're having a good time and may enjoy a great game.

 

[TheMule93]

No Larkin tonight. Out day today w/ undisclosed injury

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Did he hurt himself opening Christmas presents?

 

[Classicnamesup]

Did he hurt himself opening Christmas presents?

Probably got a PS4 and hurt himself jumping up and down. Lord knows I've been there.


Just win, don't care how ugly it is. The only thing we can be sure of though is it will be ugly

 

[hyduK]

Did he hurt himself opening Christmas presents?

Holland said upper body. Probably happened when he went into the boards last game, looked like a shoulder.

He did come back to that game, so hopefully it's minor...just a bit of bruising/pain that showed up the next day.

 

[obey86]

Hopefully this forces Blashill to mix up the lines and try some new things. Not a fan of how the lines have been lately.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Per Khan Dylan Larkin Out Day To Day Upper Body Injury Tomas Nosek replacing him.

im sure we'll just get nyquist on the 1st line. andersson takes his spot on the 3rd, and nosek comes in on the 4th.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Did he hurt himself opening Christmas presents?

Think he hurt his shoulder sliding into the boards, Hopefully nothing to serious.

 

[evolutionbaby]

I really cant imagine the Larkin thing is serious. Hes been getting roughed up quite a bit, add this to the Xmas and it gets him a little more time to heal up.

 

[Soft Rock Renegade]

im sure we'll just get nyquist on the 1st line. andersson takes his spot on the 3rd, and nosek comes in on the 4th.

hoping jurco is the one bumped up to play worth sheahan and Tatar. that was a good line two years ago

 

[DatsDeking]

I'm in Michigan visiting family so I get to watch this one without a stream for once! Sucks to hear about Larkin. Preds are looking pretty good right now. We really need this win. As posted above, this up coming road trip is really important. I'm kinda nervous...

 

[Vladdy84]

Call up Mantha

 

[Ezekial]

im sure we'll just get nyquist on the 1st line. andersson takes his spot on the 3rd, and nosek comes in on the 4th.

Jurco***

 

[Macoun]

Not a huge fan of Blashills line combos this season. Especially his defense pairings. Can we please get a coach who will put players who can score with Datsyuk for once? Here are the defense pairings I'd like to see while Ericsson is out. Just say NO to Kindl.

Dekeyser-Green

Kronwall-Marchenko

Oulette-Smith



Edit* forgot that Xavier was sent down already

Cant see putting the 2 slowest defenders together on one pairing as being a good thing.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

No Larkin, Kindl still in the lineup(??)... luckily I'll be at the Pistons game

Go Wings

I've never really considered kronwall to be slow.
Lidstrom wasn't the fastest skater and neither were any of his partners.
