I can sort of see the point of delay, now that they are killing time, skating around and interviewing players... one end of the ice is in shade, the other in glaring sunshine. They're waiting for the sun to get off the ice. Of course, they COULD have scheduled the game for 6:00PM like a normal game, and sun would not be an issue. But that makes too much sense, so never mind... LGRW!!

The NHL can't do anything right. And this is why we can't have nice things. P.S. Today's the last day of the NFL regular season. So, y'know, tons and tons and tons of people are going to be watching outdoor NHL action, believe you me. /snark

Your face is a glorified Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

How much u bet? Good luck to us, I'll take that 4-2 any day. With all pessimism going around, including myself chirping, I feel I have to give our captain the nod before puckdrop. At 36, he's a pure stud. A quick reminder about his laser pass to Tatar the last game as a showcase.

I have money on the line for this game. I say 4-2 Wings. Another big game for Mantha with two points. Enjoy the game marcaractac and whoever else is fortunate enough to be at this one.

That's what Elite talent will do for ya! Great shot by big Mantha!

Thank God for the Big Man and Z... they are great together out there

By your standard was Lidstrom a #1? He wasn't physical at all. How about Coffey, he won a certain trophy a couple times and wasn't close to a shut down defender Regardless you seem to be defining a #1 as elite level. I think that's far too narrow. If a guy can be trusted to play a lot of minutes in all situations, and it's not just because he plays on a crap team, he's a #1. Kronwall absolutely was a #1 before his knees were shot, even when he was behind Lidstrom. There were only 10 or 12 guys better than him league wide, especially when you realize he put up a decent point total playing second pair minutes on the second PP unit.

Zet to Mantha Story of the season. What a bullet

Holy s*** just decline power plays, take 2 minutes off the clock and continue 5 on 5...

Yup its the home of Toronto FC and the MLS Cup was just held there. Its actually a beautiful stadium. Enjoyed watching a match there.

Darth Coreau finds your lack of faith...disturbing.

These renditions of the anthems are bad and they should feel bad. Oh look a plane!

Hockey absolutely does NOT matter to most... enjoy the football (yuck) I, for one, don't care about any sport that does not involve a puck and a stick.

Its kinda depressing to see what their franchise player is producing compared to ours.

Let's hope for some snow. Might help our chances if Matthews can't see. May the posts be with us.

The difference in the standings isn't nearly as big as the difference in performance. Tatar, Nyquist, Dekeyser, Larkin, and the rest of the players in their early to mid 20s should be getting better. They're all regressing. Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

It could be argued that all three of those teams have a defenseman as good or better than Fowler. Not saying Mantha for Fowler would be a terrible move, but in general when rebuilding it's assets like Mantha that you want to keep.

I thought the US one was great. The Canadian one? Meh

Got a bad feeling about this one.. This is not a game a goalie playing in his 4th NHL game should be starting.. Best of luck to us though!

Drowns out the boos of the TO crowd when the Wings took the ice.

LGRW!!!

Well so far Mantha is a first line winger. Analytics, eye test, and the fact he is on the first line support the fact that he is and projects to continue to be a first line power forward. He reminds me of a mix of Jamie Benn/Corey Perry. He probably won't develop to be that good, but he is on pace and has the talent to do so. I would like to see a change in management and coaching before the wings make any franchise changing moves. I would not put it past Holland to try a drastic move due to his seat warming up. If we miss the playoffs I could see big changes coming for not only a rebuild, but also to sell hope for the future in the new arena.

Our offense isn't bad because our players are bad Rich. Our offense is bad because our coaching is bad in that regard. Our defense is bad because our defenders are actually mediocre or even below that. I truly wonder how much people pay attention to our team. Offense = coaching issue Defense = player issue And that's bad because....? Having 3 players who can score 25 goals in this league is a good thing. It's not 1980 anymore lmao.
