I would guess Halak starts here. Wonder if we see any other lineup changes in a back to back game.

B2b games is the perfect time to swap out some guys on the lower end of the roster to keep things fresh
I think that with Green still in charge you can see Halak get the "Holtby treatment" this year. Very few winnable games will be on his dance card...

I think with Petan taking the warm up yesterday kind of suggests he's close/probably gonna get the tap today.

This game is definitely winnable but yes he’ll probably get lots of back to backs in general. Not a big deal imo it’s basically just part of a backups job description.
All games are winnable but some are far less winnable than others.

Serenity now!
I can not wait for more hockey
Detroit is a team is has so much residual hate from 15 years ago and I hold with me for no reason whatsoever except I’m a poorly adjusted adult who doesn’t like change
F*** You Chelios

A disappointing late collapse against Philly. But if you’d told me we’d have three out of four points while missing Boeser, Hamonic, Motte and Sutter I’d have taken it. Sure Hart was bad but Smith was great in the Edmonton game so it evens out a bit.
Need to come out with more energy this game. Second night of a back to back is not going to be easy but we did catch a bit of a break with Larkin being suspended. Hopefully can pocket another two points on the early road trip. Might be a good thing to start out on a road trip with so much roster turnover so the team can bond a bit more.

Gotta protect the rookie by not playing him

Yeah, late 90s/early 00s really sucked to play against Detroit. The Canucks had a really long futility streak there. I remember one game they were winning 3-1 late in the third or something like that and it looked like the streak might finally end, and the refs gave the Wings two soft power plays and they tied it, then won in OT. That was a definite “there really is a curse” moment.
Anyway, Hughes on a career milestone tonight:

Soft penalties called against the canucks? shocked pikachu
Oh good thing people weren't panic lynching Travis Green already for benching Podz.

If management believes this team they assembled will make the playoffs, then these are the games playoff teams win.

If you never watched the early 2000s Wings get reffed, I don’t even know how to describe it. Every single guy on their roster was allowed to talk to the refs, letter or not. Scotty Bowman always had the refs’ ear. They got so, so, so many soft calls in their favour - which just tipped the scales even more, because their team was insanely good.
Think the Blackhawks in the 09-11 playoff series’. Only I think the Wings got it even better.

no sign of an extension on cap friendly. they exposed him in the ed so i would think he is not part of their plans.

The Seider effect.
No more tears for Stetcher with our shiny new toys in Poolman and Burroughs.
