This might be a joke?

 

[Vladdy84]

Like the 2nd line

 

[J15]

This might be a joke?

I took it as jokingly inviting him to the game?

EDIT: Or even warning fans of the increased traffic since he'll be in town?

 

[Classicnamesup]

Is Obama an actual hockey fan? I thought he was a "Blackhawks fan" because he is from Chicago and is appealing to fellow Chicagoans.

Expecting a loss, Kronwall out and those D pairings, yuck.

 

[Flowah]

If we lose? Thanks, Obama.

Impressive as hell, but unsustainable. I hope the forward lines work out because we need some god damn offense.

 

[lilidk]

didn't Obama save Detroit before?

Executive decision that Suter must come and play for the Wings.

 

[Pavels Dog]

I hope that 2nd line finds some kind of magic. On paper the only downside I can see is that all 3 of those guys love having the puck on their stick.. but if they can turn that into strong possession hockey it could be awesome. We simply need at least 1 line to get hot, really hot, in order to get our offense jumpstarted.

 

[iDangleDangle]

Love the lines, hopefully there is enough puck to go on for that 2nd line

And Green on the 1PP unit, hallelujah!!

 

[Flowah]

Executive decision that Suter must come and play for the Wings.

I'd write him in a third term.

 

[HIFE]

Quincey on the 1st pair.

 

[Actual Thought*]

Loss.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Quincey on the 1st pair.

Would expect the pairings to get similar minutes overall.

 

[skate skate skate]

Quincey on the 1st pair.

Well, I don't think we have a first pairing, so to speak. I think they all get about equal ice time, with DDK/Green getting the most and KQ/Smith the least.

Here is our player usage from the last game:

Let's hope that our PP, with Green on the 1st unit, makes up for our d tonight.

 

[HIFE]

Yeah I'm just over Quincey. Wings are as good or better without him. He's so uncoordinated makes Ericsson look as fluid as Jeff Skinner. He's the king of dump. Oh but "he and DK have been so dependable, he's a big body" blah blah blah. Sorry for the rant but I should be excited that a $4.25 million player is/has returned.

He is gonna be special. He is .93+ in just his first full year. He still has at least 25 plus playoffs left to play. He is without a doubt the team MVP this season. Bar none, hands down.

 

[Obe2kenobe]

Executive decision that Suter must come and play for the Wings.

I wonder if he is there to "pardon" Cleary for his criminal play the last few years.
