Jurco and Smith in please.

Break up Dats and Z.

 

[Frk It]

Bless your little heart for thinking this fight is going 7 rounds.

It's over after tonight. Might win a game or two now

 

[TheOtherOne]

We need Larkin to take over this series.

1 2 3 let's have fun!

 

[13to40]

With these lines the only thing this team will be fighting is fighting to get out of the rough on the golf course.

I'll bet you my avatar that cleary wins it

 

[Classicnamesup]

Bolts go up 2-0 tonight, Blashill ponders his summer

 

[Heaton]

Not feeling good about this one since Blashill isn't going to change anything. I'm guessing Tampa wins 4-1.

 

[The Geelee]

Blashill logic, "We've lost 3 games in a row. Lets keep going with what hasn't been working!"

Those lines are still terrible. Wings will most likely lose tonight.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Wonder what happens when we lose

 

[Laser Rayzor]

Bless your little heart for thinking this fight is going 7 rounds.

Oh I fully believe this is over in 5 and Pavel gets the same sendoff as Lids, but "Round 2 of a potential 7" doesn't have the same ring to it though

 

[Frk It]

Lines are just laugh out loud bad.

AA and Helm should be swapped. TSN line needs to be broken up.

Dekeyser with Ericsson.... Dear god, please tell me that is not our top pair.

 

[BeersHockey]

Is Mantha with the team right now?

 

[DeYarmond Edison]

Is Mantha with the team right now?

Nope

 

[cnwinger]

4-1 Tampa

 

[wings95]

Let's go Wings. While most here disagree with the lines the game still has to played and it is not over until a team wins four games!!

 

[obey86]

Those lines are still terrible. Why Blashill thinks putting Z and Dats together is going to work is beyond me....they haven't been good together this season.....why would that change now? Too much slowness on one line. Z drags Dats down too.

AA and Helm should be swapped. TSN line needs to be broken up.

Dekeyser with Ericsson.... Dear god, please tell me that is not our top pair.

Well I know Danny d isn't a top pair dman. But Ericsson has to carry somebody you know

 

[Vladdy84]

This makes me so mad. It's like they want to lose. It's insanity.

The over-usage of Henrik Zetterberg is a hill the Red Wings will die on

 

[Pavels Dog]

We played a good Game 1, no real changes needed. I would like the Nyquist-Sheahan-Tatar line to be broken up though. Switch Tatar and Zetterberg.

 

[13to40]

I'll bet you my avatar that cleary wins it

Good call


On a serious note though, does anyone on these boards agree with these line ups?

Watching Z decline like this is like watching your favourite car rust out and decay. It served you so well and you truly love it but the new owner continues to thrash it in it's old age. And there's nothing you can do but weep as it putters along wanting to keep up like it used to but it can't because it is old and broken.

Only five more years of this to go Z

Seriously though if he reaches Cleary level of bad will he LTIRetire?

Trade Pavel's contract. Have Z and Kronwall go LTIR forever. Big E retire. Lets go.
