if we don't win this pathetic team of pens, then i don't know...

 

[Ezekial]

In case you missed it:



Marchenko-Smith 3rd pair

 

[Hammettf2b]

Hopefully the Euro Twins can start making some magic together on the PP.

 

[TeemuS]

this is going to be long game, going into OT ha?

It will look better once KFQ returns.

Kronwall-Green
DDK-KFQ
Rig-Marchenko

That looks a lot better when The Bust Twins are absent.

I'd imagine Marchenko goes down when KQ comes back. Hopefully I'm wrong.


Either way, D can only do so much when we're scoring 1 gpg.

Same lines on offense..."if it's broken, never fix it" -Jeff Blashill

 

[Frk It]

Our lines piss me off so bad I don't even want to make a GDT.

 

[Lampedampe]

I get get this feeling that in the beggining of the season Blashill got a lot of critique from the inside about all the line scrambeling and the constant change of pairs on lines and now it's almost as if he's too afraid to change it up. Maybe it's the players attitude? Because Blashill sure wasn't afraid to mix the line's up in the start of the season but now he's just not doing anything.

Anyways, glad to see Big E in the line-up, he's an important piece even though people like to hate on him a big guy like E is so so important for a team. He's big and strong along the boards and clears the crease, and he isn't a turnover machine anymore imo.

Anyways i've been predicting in my own head for about the last 10 games that the wings are gonna have a complete blow out victory.. So we're due! Wings win 6-2, Euro twins will show flashes of greatnes and the third line will finally get hot again.

If Marchenko hasn't earned a spot over Kindl and Smith I have no idea what the hell anyone in this organization is thinking. Do we really think either player is going to just find their game and we'll be super sad in a couple years after we waive them and they get picked up?

Oh, he's definitely earned it. We're talking about Ken Holland though.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

If Marchenko is sent down that will cement the Detroit Red Wings status as a country club which would rather keep everyone happy than actually win hockey games (or so it appears).

Lets hope this is the end for Kindl.

Everything with Dan Cleary already cemented the hell out of that.

 

[Frk It]

Nyquist and Tatar on a cold steak, meanwhile they are stuck on a 3rd line that hasn't worked in forever. So ****ing stupid.

 

[joe89]

They should think about putting Z, Dats and Larkin together. Richards with Nyquist and Abdelkader, Sheahan with Tatar and Helm/Jurco.

 

[Heaton]

I'd like to see this:

Larkin - Datsyuk - Tatar
Nyquist - Zetterberg - Abdelkader
Helm - Sheahan - Richards
<whatever>

 

[Hammettf2b]

I'd like to see this:

Larkin - Datsyuk - Tatar
Nyquist - Zetterberg - Abdelkader
Helm - Sheahan - Richards
<whatever>

Not a fan of that 3rd line at all.

they will play better without each other , just brake it . 2 and 3 lines should be mix up, maybe switch Nyquist and Richards

Larkin - Datsyuk - Tatar
Nyquist - Zetterberg - Abdelkader
Helm - Sheahan - Richards
<whatever>

Hay , why not

 

[Ezekial]

I thought Tats-Sheahan-Jurco looked solid Tues night in the 3rd.

Maybe drop Helm to 4th line, Jurco to 3rd, and Gus to 2.

 

[Martinez]

It will look better once KFQ returns.

Kronwall-Green
DDK-KFQ
Rig-Marchenko

That looks a lot better when The Bust Twins are absent.

Two shut down lines, kronner and green would get all the o zone starts , I like it. Plus we wouldn't have to shelter anyone like we do with kindl.
Minor changes tonight but good ones. A step in the right direction getting E back and leaving andersson out.

 

[Martinez]

Oh, he's definitely earned it. We're talking about Ken Holland though.

If blashill has any say at all march will stay up. Babs asked who is the most nhl ready, blash picks march. Now he's proven that he fits in. Kindl is a waiver player.

 

[HomersWorld]

I'd like to see this:

Larkin - Datsyuk - Tatar
Nyquist - Zetterberg - Abdelkader
Helm - Sheahan - Richards
<whatever>

Jurco instead of Helm and I'm on board.
