GDT: Game 3 | Lightning at Wings | 7PM

[TheGunslinger]

I was kiddin'. Been griping about AA's lack of icetime. I can't see why he wouldn't be on the PP. All he does is make things happen every time he steps on the ice.

ahh okay hahah. I mean, I understand him being a young player and being hesitant to give him heavy minutes but truth be told, he's a goal scorer. Goal scorers know how to score and given the opportunity, are going to find the back of the net. Why not throw him out there on the PP?? What is there to lose at this point. Richards has almost as many PP minutes as he does EV minutes, is he really 'that' important to the PP cause clearly he's not running it correctly.

If AA would skate as hard all shift as he does when he has the puck he would be an unreal two way player. Just lacking some aggression.

 

[SoupGuru]

Nice icing, Smith. Hope you don't get stuck out there against a decent line.

 

[TopShelfYzerman]

Idk, is AA possibly as good or even better than Larkin??

Id say definitely no, unless he works on his hustle on the back end. To me, hes a one dimensional player.

 

[YpsiWings]

Idk, is AA possibly as good or even better than Larkin??

No. Larkin is a beast in his own zone.

I bet Blashill is already dreading the post game press conference because of people pointing out how good AA looked with more ice time.

Though he's only up to 9 minutes so it looks like Blashill still may keep him under 10 this game.

Nyquist has been the headrest working player tonight. Deserves a goal

 

[Laser Rayzor]

Lovin the Abby-Glen-Sheahan line

 

[TheMule93]

This abby-glebdening-sheahan line has been incredible and

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

This Sheahan-Glendening-Abdelkader line has been an incredible defensive unit. Absolutely crushing.

 

[wings95]

Take both..

 

[sarcastro]

Apparently holding a guy's stick causes his feet to go flying out from under him.

 

[YpsiWings]

This Sheahan-Glendening-Abdelkader line has been an incredible defensive unit. Absolutely crushing.

For sure. Defense all around has been great.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Do it boys 5 minutes left we need this one.

 

[Lgw]

Nyquist has been the headrest working player tonight. Deserves a goal

And he is a great player when he puts out this kind of effort. Shame it took all the way to the playoffs before he starting really trying.

Good effort all around tonight so far.

 

[Laser Rayzor]

Let's go PK, need a big kill!

 

[NervousPerson]

I'd like to see a replay on that one. First impression was a soft call.

 

[theYman]

Well here come the makeup calls. lol Datsyuk?

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Man, Kronwall looks slower than Zetterberg when going after a loose puck.

 

[theYman]

He has been the last month or so I'd say, too soon to say anything definitively though. Larkin also gets harder and more minutes though

Wasn't AA on the PK for a bit there?

 

[Bench]

This Sheahan-Glendening-Abdelkader line has been an incredible defensive unit. Absolutely crushing.

Sheahan is so much more comfortable with defensive duties. I think you really look to keep him as your 3rd line guy moving forward and give up on the dream of him centering a scoring line.

 

[sarcastro]

The big, fat kill

 

[sarcastro]

Getting sloppy

 

[Classicnamesup]

LOL that looked like a dive by Smith

 

[theYman]

wow what a save!!! Mrazzle Dazzle!
