GDT: Game 23: Wings at hawks 8:00 pm et (FSD) 2/27/21

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

I bet Blash dresses 7D, meaning Biega is in?

When does Stech return? Why the hell don't we call up Lindstrom?

 

[RedMenace]

LGD gets to put "1st line center" on his resume after tonight.

 

[lilidk]

Larkin is out ,why not try Mantha at center.
Zadina-Mantha-Rayan.
Just to see what Mantha is capable.

Zadina-Mantha-Rayan.

I'd be excited to see him float both in the offensive and defensive zone personally

 

[MabusIncarnate]

New lines posted up, looks like Svech gets the shaft for Nielsen

Brome - Fabbri - Mantha
Ryan - Namestnikov - Zadina
Erne - Glendening - Helm
Filppula - Nielsen - Gagner

 

[Shaman464]

Connor McDavid has 18 PP Pts this season.

Our team has 4 PP goals...

Impossible...

In a division where Detroit's defense wouldn't be noticeably worse than the competition.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Geno in!

 

[bedtime20]

Geno in!

Genooooo!
but he is playing with nielsen and filpula...

 

[MabusIncarnate]

Glad they slotted him in, but why Gagner out after a hat trick game over Filppula or Nielsen?

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

No kidding. At least he's getting a look. Hopefully Blashill will play him more than 8 minutes for a change.

That's the $8.25 million question.

Because Detroit Red Wings 2021

 

[Shaman464]

Light the lamp is the most interesting part of the game these days.

Larkin is out, Gagner is on the 2nd line.

 

[Vandalay Industries]

Always change a winning team

No one took Mantha, looks like he's going to score 2.

 

[Gniwder]

Gagner is on the second line, it's Brome that's out

 

[datsyukfan]

Would be a nice FU to blash if svech scores the first PPG

 

[bedtime20]

 

[MabusIncarnate]

Gagner is on the second line, it's Brome that's out

Just caught that, makes me feel better if only for Gagner not getting benched after a good game.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Larkin is out, Gagner is on the 2nd line.

Apparently Larkin didn't even make the trip. They're guessing "upper body injury" speculating it's his hand?

Now we'll really see that center depth. oof.

 

[Gniwder]

Just caught that, makes me feel better if only for Gagner not getting benched after a good game.

First goal was sheer luck, second goal looked like a feed to Ryan who was ready to smack it in if RInne hadn't kicked it in himself, and the third was an empty netter.

Wasn't like he was played a fantastic game, but it makes sense to keep him in to see if his luck continues. Not sure if that happens without Ryan feeding him the puck (Ryan is on teh top line, he deserves it.)

 

[bedtime20]

bernie 5th in 5v5 sv%

 

[Gniwder]

BTW, I'm glad I'm not the only glutton for punishment.... why are we going to watch this game?


Edit: I think I'm prepping for my colonoscopy. gotta get used to butt reaming

ESPN+ is the Chicago feed. No thanks, ESPN. I can live without the game on the TV.
