GDT: Philly @ Detroit

[Ezekial]

Pulks is on the 4th line to get his legs back, he has been sidelined for a month and a half. He can't play top 6 plus PP, they are want him in a spot where he can play pp and not be dogged from trying to jump back into the lineup and high minutes.

Very true.

Blashill almost always changes a winning line up. I don't think that's it.

I bet you can't even give one example of this.

All you can really do is hope they show up and get >20 SOG

Blash said they were "sluggish" in practice yesterday. Probably from just coming home from a long road trip. Flyers played yesterday though, so no excuses why they shouldn't have some "jump"

I am predicting Nyquist is going to heat up and get out of the funk he was in. Thought he looked better in the last game than he has in a while.

I don't think the back to back will be much of a factor. they played in the afternoon yesterday so they will have hd at least 24 hours off.

Going to the game. It'll be my first one since I was just a young whippersnapper. Go Wings!

I would hate to see what this team looks like when Blash considers them "sluggish" compared to what they typically look like

I thought he was their most consistent player (aside from maybe Mrazek) from start to finish in that game.

Very young roster overall as well.

When will Larkin get to carry his own line as a top-6 C?

 

[Pavels Dog]

When will Larkin get to carry his own line as a top-6 C?

Next season maybe.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

When will Larkin get to carry his own line as a top-6 C?

I would think possibly next year.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Do we get Doc tonight?

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

We should just put Helm at 4C and call up Mantha/AA.

I feel like Glenny is going to be on this team until he's 50

 

[theYman]

Ugh why do we keep putting out those d pairings. Green is somehow a 3rd pairing Dfenceman? Ericsson back with a bad playing Kronwall Kronwall? D is a disaster now. Marchys 2nd scratch. Blash is no diff. than Babs when it comes to this. Put Pulks on the 3rd line and switch Helm and Larkin. Guess Mrazek is gonna be hung out to dry again.

 

[theYman]

Marchenko > Smith

For shhhaaaaaaaaaarrr

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Ferraro and Miller are my favorite broadcast team in hockey, super pumped!

 

[odin1981]

Much rather have Milbury instead of Pierre he is so annoying.

Seniority trumps common sense.

Better win tonight. Looks like Tampa is beginning to remember they are a good hockey team.

 

[Bob Probert Owns You]

Smith and Abdelkader are quickly becoming my least favorite Wings.

Smith -- turnover machine, questionable defense, always out of position/causes a lot of off-man rushes (the wrong way)

Abdelkader -- is a worse passer than Homer... seriously, he can't make a tape to tape pass to save his life, and heaven forbid if he has to try a saucer pass

 

[SoupGuru]

Smith with a hat trick, Glendening with a backhand goal, and Ericsson assisting on all 4.

Wings lose 5-4

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Well Tampa just beat Florida 3-1 so if we can win this one against the Flyers we will only be 2 points out of 1st.

Hopefully Florida's coming back to earth now after their run. Tampa looks back to form though and will likely challenge for the division win.

 

[SoupGuru]

Suspension right there

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

pretty dirty in my opinion
