Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy... what an experience this game was. 3 rows from the glass behind Price, so pretty much every shot that missed him seemed like it was heading towards us. First time it happened, during practice, I ducked so some girls whom were sitting on the other side of the aisle from me, laughed about my reaction. Really cool to get to see all the players that up close, really makes you feel a part of the game. Great effort by our Boyz, although it was too close for comfort, they all seemed to be on top of things and there was some sort of relief to see how they handled the Habs. Really liking how Jensen looks on the ice, he has some puck handling skills and speed, hope to see more of him. Got to meet Ken Kal before the game and took a pic with him and got his autograph. Since I was next to the zamboni area I got to talk to Al Sobotka and did the same with him as well, He was talking to the aforementioned girls and offered them a zamboni ride, so I seized the moment and made the best of it, he's quite the ladies man... too bad he didn't needed me as a wing man, otherwise... who knows. Couldn't ask for a better experience and to be at the Joe for a shutout. Even the bus to greektown was a hoot, every Wings fan was so excited and happy so there were a lot of laughs on that ride. Tomorrow I'll be meeting Bill Berzeench's home boy Brendan Smith, really looking up for that. Cool experience in Detroit so far. Good times, good times. ND signing off. Lets Go Red Wings!

Nerve, I think you have to stay in Detroit and go to every game. You seem to be a good luck charm.

Haven't you lost your s*** for a few months now?

What I wish I liked : 1. Mrazek 2. Coreau 3. Howard What I ended up liking so far this season 1. Howard 2. Coreau 3. Mrazek Sucks, but Mrazek just hasn't been cutting it. And people here know well that I hate excuses. So I'm not making any excuses for him. Coreau's size playing a huge advantage at times. Imo he should stay as a backup because this league is all about blocking shots and being big in front of the net. He's not particularly a skilled goalie but he's just a wall.

Nice win, Coreau is making a case for himself to stick around for a while. I already feel a bit more confident with him in net than I do Mrazek at this point. Defense is looking a lot better also with Kronwall out and Jensen playing. Maybe we are finally finding a positive direction and a winning formula?

I've never made GDT before, but here it is gametime and we need one, so ... Something, something, something, dark side, something. something. something, complete! LGW, beat those dirty Habs! Wings line combos: Left Wing Center Right Wing Gustav Nyquist Henrik Zetterberg Anthony Mantha Andreas Athanasiou Frans Nielsen Thomas Vanek Tomas Tatar Riley Sheahan Dylan Larkin Justin Abdelkader Luke Glendening Drew Miller Left Defense Right Defense Starting Goalie Danny DeKeyser Mike Green Jared Coreau Jonathan Ericsson Alexey Marchenko Confirmed Xavier Ouellet Nick Jensen Habs line combos: Left Wing Center Right Wing Max Pacioretty Alex Galchenyuk Alexander Radulov Paul Byron Phillip Danault Andrew Shaw Artturi Lehkonen Tomas Plekanec Sven Andrighetto Jacob De La Rose Torrey Mitchell Brian Flynn Left Defense Right Defense Starting Goalie Alexei Emelin Shea Weber Carey Price Nathan Beaulieu Jeff Petry Confirmed Mark Barberio Zach Redmond

That would be horrible. If he goes on LTIR there is no chance he has played his last game. He needs to come back and play at the level he was at previously. Outside of Vanek a healthy in form Howard is Detroits best asset to trade. If hes on LTIR and doesnt get a chance to get back nobody will trade for him before the deadline or this off-season and the likelihood that Vegas takes him gets lower. Howard needs to be back this season playing well. If not Howard will be in a Wings uniform next year.

I'm not sure if he's as bad as you're making him out to be but to answer the question of why people think he's our future. It's probably because Mrazek was overhyped and people have equal amount of hatred towards Howard and henceworth started worshipping Mrazek. Also because the org (Holland?) stated in the summer that he'll be #1 I want Mrazek to be the future as well. I'm not entirely sure if he will be at the moment. He may need a few more years till he can keep a #1 spot or else he might end up having to be in a tandem role long term. The issue I have is when people kept making excuses for him for 4 months and were acting completely oblivious to his poor play. It's January and Mrazek still hasn't taken the reigns. I'm rooting for him, but I also got pretty annoyed with all the excuses.

Great to see two in a row against two of the best teams in the East. Coreau with another egg. Only negative I take away from this one is the fact that this team continues to play like the Harlem Hockey Globetrotters. Too many "additional", unnecessary, flashy passes, especially on the PP. Just put the thing on net. When was the last time we saw 3 in a row?!?! Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

Who cares about drafts we have never so why start now!?? We have Larkin Mantha and AA lets do this now!

Fun fact: Jared Coreau's initials are JC. Fun fact #2: Jesus Christ's initials are JC. I'm just saying...

yes, we can win 1-0 and did.

Wooo! Big two points! Butt pats!

SHUTOUT! I never thought I'd ever post that on the first page of a GDT that I created! South Detroit! Edit: Well, second page now, but barely!

Had off work today, just woke up. Didn't even realize we had an afternoon game Coreau looks to have been stellar so far, eh? Vanek again, and a lead going into the 3rd. Looks like most of LGW missed out on this one considering it's a one page GDT this late in the game, thanks Y19 for posting up the thread!

Stupid they started this game so early. Not every one has this day off.

Who does he think he is, Chuck Norris?

Vanek! Finally, a goal!

Looking good so far in the first. I'm liking all the lines (except the 4th, but ho hum). It's amazing how much more offense you get when you play offensive players in intelligent ways.

Who are you arguing with? Nobody is defending Blashill, I even said it my post that I want a coaching change. You seem intent on creating a debate that nobody is on the other side of. its funny how saying not every move Blashill does is awful, is interpreted by you as giving him a pass. Actually read what I wrote.

People are giving Blashill a pass?

Please stop spelling in MANtha it is so lame
