GDT: Game 15 | Detroit Red Wings @ Minnesota Wild | 6:00 PM EST | FS-D

[Laser Rayzor]

Ken Daniels just said Pav is in tonight!

 

[Run the Jewels]

By that logic Cleary is having a career year based on the ice time he is getting.

Yes, ignore actual performance while on the ice. Brilliant.

Hell yeah!

Sounds like he's starting on the wing with Z and Brunner.

 

[Brick Top]

Just heard that also, definitely good news. Pavel at 3% is a better scoring line center than Abby, so I'll take it

 

[ThankYouBasedGod]

Yes, ignore actual performance while on the ice. Brilliant.

I'm not, I watch the games. Looks like I'm not the only who wants Kindl in over Lashoff either. Lashoff SUCKS and has no future in the NHL.

 

[14ari13]

I do not get it. Why Kindl? He has had some good games. This is a big surprise to me.
The Wings have to play smart and try to win 2-1.

I wouldn't go that far, he's a rookie that might develop into a solid 6/7th guy but he is definitely not top pairing material, not now, not ever.

 

[Sadekuuro]

Eight years after his draft, we still don't really know what we have with Kindl. This is ridiculous. Take the kid gloves off, play him, and let him sink or swim already.

 

[mindfly]

Interesting to see Johan Larsson i Minnesota, Järnkroks old buddy and linemate in brynäs.

Babcock blamed Kindl for the goal against in which Kronwall put the puck in Filppula's feet.

Was Kindl out of position? Yes.

Do you expect a NHL defenceman to be able to execute that pass without a turnover? Also yes.

Mrazek is in because Babcock hates American players.

I've given up on trying to reason with him. Some people cannot deal with facts and I find it's best to ignore them. There were lots of people who would have told you as recently as this summer that Ericsson sucks.

IMO He'll develop into a pretty good top4/6 guy but not in Detroit. It's obvious Babcock has zero confidence in him, he has no hesitation in scratching him or throwing him under the bus for other people's mistakes.

Mrazek is in because Babcock hates American players.

And black people.

-He's been passed up by Ericsson.
-He's been passed up by Smith.
-He may very well get passed up by Lashoff.

Maybe in another 4 years he can lock down that #6 spot. It's everyone else's fault he cannot lock down a spot in the starting lineup.

 

[Iowa Wingsfan]

Can't believe Pav and Z are back together. Does anybody think the Wings are better with them on the same line?

Oh yeah, Quincey's passed him up too!

 

[14ari13]

Mrazek looked a bit nervous

 

[CouchScout]

That interview with Pavs on his shoulder was hilarious.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Pavs started the season on the wing and it didn't work. If he's less than 60% then I think it's understandable. I don't think it's a long term decision.

 

[Iowa Wingsfan]

Love watching interviews with Pavel, he is great. I was really looking forward to watching 24/7 for that reason, damn lockout.

 

[Laser Rayzor]

I feel sorry for Filp, He is called out by Babs told to be better and inorder to do that he's given Cleary and Sammy as linemates.

 

[Vladdy84]

Cleary-Flip-Sammy

Worst 2nd line in the NHL?

 

[sarcastro]

I feel sorry for Filp, He is called out by Babs told to be better and inorder to do that he's given Cleary and Sammy as linemates.

If that line scores in this game, I'll eat my hat.
