I do not want Smith and Svech on the same line, that would be a defensive nightmare. Both are too slow to skate back, they're will be too many odd man rushes.

Mostly that kind of line will start from the own end, so that more of pushing the puck from DEF to OFF zone, than vise versa. Could think that kind of usage minimizes odd man rushes.

 

[grewalwings]

In all honesty, I dont care how we did it, just glad we beat the Hawks

59% on FO tonight, Fabbri with 63%. He's really improved in that department considering his first few games.

Chicago is awful without Toews. Still, good for Fabbri

They're more than likely to get hemmed in the D-zone, Smith is the only one in that group that wins board battles. It's a bad line combo.

I'd rather see Svech on the second line, because Bobby and Robby are both good 2 way players that can feed him the puck.

Worst idea.

So, Ryan overtook Larkin as team points leader, both with 22 games. Not something I expected.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

I went to the park this morning, wearing my Red Wings hoodie, a random biker rolled by and yelled "Go Red Wings". Was a good omen.

Hey Blashill are you watching this game you motherf***er? Svech has played better in the game then the majority of the forwards on Detroit this year.

You are a terrrrrible coach for leaving this kid on the taxi squad not playing as the team floundered. We are in a rebuild you f***ing moron. Let the young players play.

Svech better be in the lineup for the next 10 games at least. Let him play some NHL games let him grow and prove he belongs.

And if he plays like shit then send him down to GR after 10 games not 1 game or 1 bad play.

What an idiotic post.

Blashill is THE reason why things are looking better.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Happy for Svech he has been through a lot man! I hope he succeeds.

 

[Henkka]

So we're a month into the season, doesn't Svech have to go through waivers again to be put on teh taxi squad?

Waivers again. He will never be waived again.

Zadina is the easy ELC so send down if somebody.

People expect a guy working with peanuts to make a gourmet dish.

That's kind of bad for Larkin, but don't really care cause of rebuild reasons.

Ryan as the points leader could fetch a great return at the deadline. Bargain caphit and rarely any team sells their point-leader at the deadline.

I can make some sick dishes with peanuts.

Yes I agree, I think they got Ryan with the intent of trading him at the trade deadline and that seems like a great decision now.

I had been thinking that trading Ryan is iffy, depending on his production (which hasn't been spectacular in recent years), but he's performed very well for us. He should bring some trade interest.

Of course, the down side to him overtaking Larkin in points is that it tells us Larkin's game is a little off. I didn't expect to see Ryan overtake him or see Hronek ahead of Larkin in assists. Maybe Bert's absence has something to do with it.

Also, point to be noted, Detroit style pizza is better than Chicago style pizze IMO.

Neapolitan pizza is the only real pizza.

Oh well, the day, when older Svechnikov was the best Svechnikov of the league.

Love to see the whole team in on the scoring, but its disconcerting that Mantha was still noticeably meh all night.

 

[Oddbob]

Anyone know the injury to Larkin? In last game he stopped taking faceoffs at one point, so I'm assuming hand or wrist/arm related. Didn't watch tonight, did they talk about how long he will be out. Glad we won, and nice to see Svech do well in 12 minutes of ice time. Mantha wants to be a 30 goal scorer, yet he never scores, hardly shoots, and floats so very very much. He must have read AA's hockey book.

They showed a replay during the game, it looked like he took a crosscheck to the left (IIRC) elbow or forearm. Probably a deep bruise.

Is that more a short term type thing, or could be anything?

On thursday, the brothers have chance to play against others.
