Let's Go Red Wings 5-2 Wings.

Would love to see 1 of brad richards or green or both get goals tonight. They both have been working out really well so far with the team.

 

[TimoneX]

No DDK tonight? Is that confirmed? Would love to see Smith sit, DDK paired with Green, and Q with Kindl or March.

Goals by Richards, Tats, Sheahan, or Green would be bonus sweet.

Incoming let-down game because it's before THE big game tomorrow, and also because of the injuries that's starting to mount up.

Hopefully Glendening can play atleast, important for the PK.

 

[TimoneX]

I dunno...the Wings looked pretty good in both their home games. It was only the road game where they looked really awful for almost two periods. I doubt they start this game nearly so badly as they did in Carolina. The Canes have a pretty good team despite their record, the Wings have to know they'll get squished if they don't show up for 40 mins again.

I'm really liking that 3rd line if that's what they're rolling with. Talk about balance.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

According to Khan Luke Glendening is in the lineup tonight that's good news the swelling most have gone down.

Khan said that Glenny is in the lineup tonight.

Yeah neither Helm nor DDK were expected to play tonight, But could play tomorrow in Montreal but with Helm having a setback it's not known if he will play at all this weekend it sounds like he could be ready by the Edmonton game next Wednesday.

 

[TimoneX]

Well that's something...even if no Franzen or Helm. Glenny is far better at centering the 4th than Andy. Now about that DDK thing...

Really like to see DK get a tuneup before he sees Montreal.

Edit: thanks for the updates #1RWFan52.

Would definitely be nice to see other lines get going.

Me too, They've had a bad history of doing that in the past. Hopefully Blash will keep them focused though.

Just seems like they had a bad habit of playing down to the competition. I hope with all the young kids we dont' get that now.

Coach Blashill says Jimmy Howard is tonight's starter. Mrazek will play tomorrow and Wednesday. #RedWings

Guess Mrazek gets two in a row.

 

[newfy]

Would love to see this team get a blow out win with some secondary scorers getting some goals for confidence. Jurco could use a goal, maybe a couple points for Tatar or Nyquist to really get them firnig would be nice too.

Nice so Mrazek plays tomorrow night in Montreal and then Wednesday night in Edmonton. Sounds good to me.

So do we have a de facto home goalie/road goalie combo then? That'd be 3 of 3 road starts for Petr in six games and 3 of 3 home starts for Howie in 5. Not likely to hold up for the whole 4 game Canadian road trip, but it is an intriguing early trend. Wonder what would've happened had Howie started in Carolina.

9-0 every person on the first line gets a hat trick and we shut them out. I expect nothing less.

I think thats just the way it worked out because of the back to backs.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Really liking the defense this year. Let me explain before you all kill me. I like they way they are getting involved offensively so far. Pinching, keeping possession in the offensive zone. It hasn't bit them in the ass for the most part. It reminds me of the Lidstrom days (again, don't kill me here, im not comparing.) where we would just keep possession and wouldn't let up. When and if we get fully healthy, and this defensive system keeps working to keep possession, we can be vary dangerous and compete with anyone IMHO.

 

[Pavels Dog]

sure hope the wings don't overlook this game

That would be typical. Everyone looking forward to the big game on Saturday between the only two unbeaten teams in the East... and we go and ruin it by losing against a bottomfeeder.

I also have this bad feeling that Howard can't keep his GAA this low forever. He's had some great puck luck, a few posts and goal-line saves have helped him.. sooner or later that luck turns.

Need the team to bring it for 60 minutes tonight.

 

[Konnan511]

I love the back-to-backs we play when we have 3-5 days between other games.
