I can’t wait til this year is done.

 

[Bondurant]

We're here for you, Jack, we're here for you.

Zadina had a great debut sitting on the bench all night. Don’t get it not like the other forwards did anything tonight.

 

[TheRatPoisoner]

Just nothing clean to be had for them. San Jose is just clearly the better team

Yeah, that's pretty much what it comes down to. Sharks are just a better team. All wings in the first period and a bit. Nothing but Sharks after that though after they realized they might actually lose.

He took as many shifts as Helm, Abby, and one less than Rasmussen. I don't think that's bad for a kid in his first NHL game.

Pavelski somehow left wide open behind our veteran d-men Dekeyser and Daley on his first goal. Then a lazy stick check by Nielsen on his nice redirection for the second goal.

Zadina: 10:38

Abdelkader: 11:57
Helm: 13:21

Zadina had less ice time than everyone except for de la Rose. Send him back down where he's actually playing and not sitting on the bench.

Abby and Helm were both on the PK so longer shifts.

How many minutes do you want him to play in his first game?

 

[TheMule93]

I enjoy zadina staying up even if he's only getting 10 min. He's staying for 9 games at most, it will be a useful experience for him

 

[RedWingzz]

Abby and Helm were both on the PK so longer shifts.

I'd be happy with 15:00 of ice time on the 2nd line, he has no use being a 4th line player. Keep him in the AHL if thats the case.

 

[SoupGuru]

What the f*** is everyone expecting from the kid's first game?! Jesus! Let the kid take a few shifts in the big leagues. Let him see what it's all about. I know people love to hate on management but this isn't a thing. Stop trying to make this a thing! Relax!

Keep in mind he's not here because he's ready. He's here to see what the end goal is.

Larkin played less than 14 minutes in his NHL debut. And he was on the team because he earned it.

Stop please, Zadina do not belongs to NHL yet. He is here just to have a taste. I wonder ,how many minutes did DTsyuk had at his first game?

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

11 minutes and 12 seconds.

(granted the 2002 roster was a wee bit different than the current Wings)

 

[TheMule93]

Elias petterson got like 8min in his first game and he turned out alright

 

[Bondurant]

Zadina will be fine. One game in the books. He'll get more time.

 

[Datsyukian Deke]

I can’t wait til this year is done.

I said the same thing before the first game of the season ever began.

 

[DetroitRed]

This isn't a call-up because they think Zadina is ready for the NHL. I think they're just trying to see where Zadina is at in his development. I think he's had a good first AHL season, but I don't think he's outgrown the AHL yet. I don't expect him to be real exciting just yet.

 

[HIFE]

Yeah, that's pretty much what it comes down to. Sharks are just a better team. All wings in the first period and a bit. Nothing but Sharks after that though after they realized they might actually lose.

Yeah that was one of the ugliest 1/2 games I've watched, probably worst period of the year for the Sharks. Yet the Wings couldn't capitalize and put it away. The BS about one goal games and Holland trying for the playoffs next season is a joke. We're a long way off IMO.

 

[Leadzedder]

Removed.

 

[DetroitRed]

NBCSN is blaming the hat trick on Abdelkader p!$$ing off Pavelski.

 

[Filppula]

I hate this team. Useless hacks. Nielsen is such floating garbage, can’t wait till that scrub is gone, even if that’s a while away.

 

[Dotter]

I'm here to read who all is complaining about Zadina's ice time in his very first NHL game. Thanks for not letting me down!

Fun read 10/10

I can’t wait til this year is done.

That is what a lot of people on this board said last year, so here are again. How many more of these years?
