Let's shake off yesterday's loss and beat these guys.

Buffalo lost to Tampa in OT, they seem to be playing better than their eight game losing streak. Tage Thompson is still a monster so, let's like not get shredded by him again. I'm really hoping the Wings remember just how completely embarrassed they were last time against Buffalo.

 

[Henkka]

Quite sure there's extra 200% on play at this game after the last humiliating loss for Sabres.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

If Detroit plays Buffalo the way they played Toronto then it's a big win. Matt Murray has been standing on his head lately and has been Toronto's MVP when he plays. Buffalo fortunately doesn't have the same level of goaltending.

If Ned plays like he did yesterday when he came in and we play the same way as we did against Tranna, we should be in good shape.

 

[Ezekial]

Rewarding Ras for playing well, nice. I prefer Kubalik-Larkin-Raymond as well, also nice.

 

[Henkka]

Like this Rasmussen/Copp swap.

Rasmussen has shown a bit more offensive abilities at this season, and it could offer a little bit better productive 2nd line. It's still a heck of annoying/defensive/grinder-line with Bert + Perron.

Kubalik - Larkin - Raymond
Bertuzzi - Rasmussen - Perron
Erne - Copp - Sundqvist
Berggren - Veleno - Suter

I think bit by bit they are finding the right combinations.

If somebody just could fix that Chiarot-Seider thing at defence! Then there would not be much to complain.

I'd like to see Moose with Raymond. And maybe Bertuzzi. Something like that.

Anything else you guys would like me to ask Lalonde for?

I'll take a playoff spot if he can make that happen too.

 

[WingsToPick4th]

Raymond is at his best when he is on L1 with Larkin so I love that

Copp kinda deserves to be 3C he hasnt shown much offensively and awful at Faceoffs (42% vs Velenos 64% last game)

That 2nd line is going to be a nightmare to play against but we still need a Skilled 2C (hopefully Kasper)

Some D pairing mixing.

 

[Henkka]

This is surprising... Wings has lowest xGA at NHL from last 10 games.

That's something.

I've wached these numbers from season start, and they are improving. Even though we did have a bit lucky start (lucky vs. results, unlucky vs. injuries), won many games, even when having injuries. Now this team is really showing their real shelf, because some injured guys like Bertuzzi are back. Our general play is getting better and better, and expecting some kind of meltdown because of the past seasons, is unprobable to happen.

They are improving. Bit by bit. This level is gonna stay. We are good.

Your wish is granted: The 3rd pairing is now Lindstrom Oesterle

 

[Perfect Human]

Copp on the third line makes me happy. He is a great asset on this team but not in the 2C slot.

 

[TheOtherOne]

yo does anyone know how to find those little player profile things? like where they say what's Mo's favorite breakfast and favorite movie and whatever?

i'm googling but not getting anything.

Genies suck....

But , do you remember what they did to us last game they played?

Detroit was asleep at the wheel that game.

Not in primetime, they don't.

 

[haulinbass]

Really excited to see Ras get a chance. I'm optimistic, hopefully some luck goes his way and he can pick up some early confidence and run with it. Considering how much rope they gave Copp, I hope they atleast give Ras a few games to see if he can get himself going in that role.

 

[aar000n]

Revenge time?

 

[Mickey Redmond]

Need the 2 points

 

[SoupNazi]

The prediction in another thread is that this is one out of the three of the next 15 that we win.

Am I the only one here who hates the separation of the post game thread? It's always annoying trying to post as the game's ending and the thread closes before you hit submit. Or when you want to reply to someone who posted near the end. In my opinion having a new thread for post game is just an unnecessary annoyance.
