Doesn't matter. We will get killed.

 

[MintBerryCrunch]

It'd never happen, but sit Abby and put Wit in at forward for fun.

I thought DDK was supposed to be back this week, as was reported last week...FSD even mentioned Green was "a ways away"

Probably Whitter sits, And DDK could be back by the next game after this weekend as well. And then Daley after the All Star break.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I thought DDK was supposed to be back this week, as was reported last week...FSD even mentioned Green was "a ways away"...did you mean DDK?

No Blashill and Green both said that Green is good to go tomorrow. And that DDK could be back early next week.

Hronek 18-20
Cholo 17+

Kronner 14
Big E

In fact Green said that he felt so great, That he could handle the back to back games against Winnipeg and Minnesota Friday and Saturday nights.

Great... now we're gonna get this tank train derailed.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Great... now we're gonna get this tank train derailed.

Quite possibly, The team is still bad though. And knowing our luck there will be more injuries happening.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

It'd never happen, but sit Abby and put Wit in at forward for fun.

I certainly wouldn't mind having Witkowski in the lineup against the Jets.

Sounded like Green was good to do, And that DDK was waiting on the doctors final decision. And it sounds like DDK will be good to go by the Anaheim game next Tuesday from what Ansar just said.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

I cant wait til TDL and the draft lottery. All these games are boring. We literally only have like 5 players worth watching on the whole roster.

 

[Red Stanley]

I cant wait til TDL and the draft lottery. All these games are boring. We literally only have like 5 players worth watching on the whole roster.

You think so? I count at least 9 for me. Larkin, Nyquist, Bert, Mantha, AA, Ras, Green, Cholo, Hronek.

 

[Claypool]

Two big tank points on the line tonight.

 

[theYman]

It's nice to see Green back. Man he's had a rough year and was doing good when he was playing. Probably our best defenseman outside of Cholo.

Respectfully disagree. While losses without any progress from the kids are devoid of entertainment, there have been several games where a Larkin or a Bertuzzi or a Hronek have shown real growth, and I'm totally cool with watching those games, even if it's while getting shelled.

And by comparison, I'd sooner watch a bad loss with even a little bit of encouraging play from the youth, than the previous few years of bubble team hockey that relied on vets with no future here. It's all about the long game, and when I'm ok with the strategy, I have no problem with some ugly losses along the way.

Yep probably getting shelled tonight by the Jets. Though Detroit has played them well here lately.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

LGRW Jets 6 Wings 2

 

[TatarTangle]

Depends on if the Jets show up, they looked unimpressive for two periods last night until they poured it on in the third.

 

[Henkka]

Yep probably getting shelled tonight by the Jets. Though Detroit has played them well here lately.

They typically mark us as an off-night against the neighbour conference, like Contenders still do.

But Jets did lost against the Wild in an important Divisional game, so they could be angry and beat the frustrations from yesterday.

Yeah it's still the NHL and any thing can happen on a given night.

 

[Mister Ed]

Going back to 2015, Detroit is 1-1 every year vs the Jets. Winnipeg has already won this year (2-1 on October 26th) , so by that logic, Detroit takes this one!
4-2 Red Wings win, Hronek and Cholowski 2 goals each.
