Wings lose 4-1, depth is gone, team can't score 5on5, D sucks, goaltending sucks.

 

[DanZ]

How long is Kronwall out?

 

[hot dog]

I'm betting Datsyuk and Kronwall both sit, but Mrazek starts and we win 3-2 or lose in OT. Sharks are playing just as poorly as us!

 

[ap3x]

Making it intense or breathing some fresh air. They decide.

 

[Retire91]

Going to the game, hope Mrazek starts.

How long is Kronwall out?

Does it matter when we have Kindl leading our offense.

I would hope he's not out long seeing he took the warm up last night and was a game time decision.

I would hope he's not out long seeing he took the warm up last night and was a game time decision.

If he plays like he did last night, Kindl is the least of this team's problems for now.

Going to the game, hope Mrazek starts.

Same here. and it would be nice to see Mrazek start considering the team actually plays well in front of him. Plus Datsyuk and Kronwall could both potentially be in from what i'm reading, and I hope they are. I wouldn't mind seeing Weiss replace Anderson on the third line for maybe a little more offense? Not gonna hold my breathe though.

Big night Ottawa and Boston are playing tough teams. Wings should win this. Need space and wins.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

3-2 detroit IF datsyuk and kronwall play

if they dont then 3-1 sharks

 

[AndrewD]

Howard gets the start tonight.

 

[RedWingzz]

4-1 sharks if Howard plays. 2-1 o.t sharks if Pete plays. I highly doubt that Datsyuk plays. If he does then maybe we score more than a goal.

 

[detredWINgs]

I don't mind that Howard is starting but he should mind. Another mediocre outing and he's basically telling Babcock to give Mrazek a run.

 

[AndrewD]

4-1 sharks if Howard plays. 2-1 o.t sharks if Pete plays. I highly doubt that Datsyuk plays. If he does then maybe we score more than a goal.

Datsyuk's out, hoping for Saturday vs. TB.

 

[drw02]

ugh....

 

[Tasteslikekevinbacon]

Got a phone update that kronwall is in, dats is still out.

 

[Electric Thunder]

Got a phone update that kronwall is in, dats is still out.

Yep!

Kronwall is playing tonight. Kindl scratched.

 

[detredWINgs]

Do we know who is replacing Cole?

Also, according to Kahn, Howard has a 3.00 GAA and .898 save percentage since returning from his injury.

 

[chances14]

kronwall is a tough SOB.

pretty amazing when you think about it considering he was basically made of glass earlier in his career

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

hmm so no datsyuk but yes to kronwall and howard in nets?

3-1 sharks

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Its funny how Datsyuk was supposed to be out a few games, yet we all pretty much knew he'd be out way longer than that.

yea datsyuk doesn't do well with injuries. but then again he usually plays like garbage when he's hurt so its probably best they let him heal up all the way

 

[PulkaBoom]

Do we know who is replacing Cole?

Weiss is in according to Khan:

Abdelkader-Zetterberg-Nyquist
Helm-Sheahan-Tatar
Miller-Glendening-Jurco
Weiss-Andersson-Pulkkinen

Not liking these lines at all
