Bert gets a chance to pull the piano.

 

[Hammettf2b]

love these lines. hope they last

 

[theYman]

Mantha is back!! And are my eyes playing tricks on me? Is Bert on the top line? Thank God!! Finally Abby's ass( which shoulda beem a long time ago) is outta there.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

These line combos are so brutal

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

Guess Blash got my memo on Bert in the top 6, he should stay there. Any combo of:
Larkin/Nyquist/Bert/Nielsen/Mantha/AA

 

[cjm502]

I hope the top line dominates and Abby stays in the bottom 6

 

[raymond23]

Would prefer Gus-Larkin-Mantha for entertainment purposes but this is nice as well.

Doubt we score much tonight.

 

[Larkin2AA]

3rd line in size 5 font for those names

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Someone tape Mantha's gloves on his hands please.

 

[Hammettf2b]

These line combos are so brutal

Wait what. Why?

 

[Ezekial]

Glad big Tony is back.

 

[Filppula]

Lol AA plays a couple really strong games...and now he’s with de la Rose and Ras? Right.

 

[TheMule93]

These lines are pretty great other than Abby still being on the first line for whatever reason. Im so glad trashill didnt break up the Larkin-Nyquist combo in favor of the Larkin-Mantha combo which has never ever ever worked despite them trying so hard to force it.

ps: pre-emptive f*** you abdelkader so I dont have to say it during the game. What a waste of a player, money, and contract. Goddamn it raises my blood pressure just thinking about this garbage. MOD

but hes on the 4th line? at least according to the OP.

Glendening was directly responsible for one of AA's goals two games ago, who's centering the fourth line tonight. IMO it doesn't matter where AA plays, you can slot him in anywhere because he's looking for the breakaway majority of the time and just needs guys that can create that space; De la rose might be able to do that.

I'm sure these lines won't last long when Nashville inevitably starts clowning Detroit and Blashill hits spin on the blender

I get you don't like him as a player, but insulting him as a human being is more indictative of you than him

Glen has actually been his best self in the offensive zone this year, IMO. He’s not a big guy so maybe he too is benefitting from the league moving to a faster game where space appears more often on the fly. Pleasant surprise from me.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

TIL Witkowski only has one penalty this year

 

[turkleton85]

larkin with the golden chain XD adrian peterson style

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Wait what. Why?

Vanek second line. Mantha second line hasn't played in a month...

 

[TheMule93]

They got Daley a jet ski and a watch and his wife some flowers for his game 1000. Had a pre game ceremony and everything

What did they do for Vanek lol

 

[TheRatPoisoner]

I love Larkin. What a f***ing pass

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Cholo just needed to get that up. I like how well him and Larkin read each other.

Pretty nice start so far.

They will probably do something pretty nice for him would be my guess. Vanek hasn't been a trouble maker he has moved around but he is a pretty well liked guy league wide. There is a reason directly after that on the faceoff some Preds gave him a tap and the official came by to congratulate him.

You forget these guys all know each other. They aren't just watching this on tv, these are real people to them and playing a 1,000 games in this league is hard to do. Great job to Vanek, he has been a very good NHL player and had an extremely successful career.
