    lines at practice today according to khan: Bertuzzi-Datsyuk-Alfredsson Franzen-Zetterberg-Tatar Abdelkader-Weiss-Cleary Miller-Andersson-Tootoo defense, same as last game.

    if we want more offense generated from the D, kindl has to be in the lineup imo. sure, he hasn't had great offensive numbers but when I notice kindl out there, it's usually because he's shooting getting the puck on net generates offense and kindl can do just that. that's probably why he gets some powerplay time.

    stephen weiss

    it's what? one month out of 5 years...? i'm not worried yet. it's gotta take some time to get used to every aspect of a system like the wings have. and until he gets used to it, he's probably not concentrating on skill moves as much.... he's a skilled player, he'll come around.

    Just came here to post about xo.. according to Khan, it's precautionary. Kronner= gametime decision. He's at the desist after a puck to the face.

    10/23 GDT: Senators 6 at Red Wings 1

    Yes, agreed. I was just excited to see DD up top. Ah well, with babs' line shuffling tendencies I bet we see 55-65 at some point before big e returns.. and who knows, the added responsibility could be just what Smith needs to jump to the next level

    Boooooooo "@AnsarKhanMLive: Based on the skate, it looks like Smith will be paired with Kronwall. DeKeyser is with Quincey and Kindl with Lashoff."

    Ericsson out 2-3 weeks

    "@AnsarKhanMLive: Holland said Ericsson out 2-3 weeks." "@AnsarKhanMLive: Holland didn't specify injury but it is a left shoulder injury." I guess him missing last night wasn't just that his wife was in labor as previously reported.... Bummer

    Any new Helm Updates?

    Everyone cross your fingers.... :/ "@AnsarKhanMLive: Asked whether Helm had a setback, Babcock said "I don't know.""

    Ericsson out 2-3 weeks

    Maybe a little bit of a reach but I was thinking that too.. it'd only work if Quincy-Smith can play solid together imo. If they can, we'd be looking pretty good.. Kronner-dekeyser Kindl-Ericsson Quincy-Smith It's a big if, I kno....

    Ericsson out 2-3 weeks

    He was originally missing because his wife was in labor then got his shoulder checked out.... "@HeleneStJames: #RedWings D Jonathan Ericsson out 2-3 weeks with shoulder injury. Got hurt in PHX, had MRI late Monday after attending birth of baby girl."

    Ericsson out 2-3 weeks

    Regardless of who the other pairings are, I'm excited to see 55-65 up top.

    The DeKeyser Appreciation Thread

    Hopefully we see him stay on the top pair with kronwall for a little bit w/ big e out.. that should boost his development some.

    pretty sure helm isn't eligable to return until saturday but i could be wrong. either way, i don't see abby and cleary playing on the same line.. abby will most likely be on one of the top two.

    The DeKeyser Appreciation Thread

    agreed. and I think i read somewhere that over the course of the offseason he put on around 5-10 lbs.. so i'm sure the extra weight will come. DD's future looks bright, and so does the wings'.

    Datsyuk in shootouts

    Even when pav misses the net, he makes sure to at least make the goalie look stoopid first

    10/21 GDT: Sharks 1 @ Red Wings 0 (SO)

    weiss natural hattrick to start the game.. chases niemi out of the net. BOOM!

    Any new Helm Updates?

    i thought this at first too but I think it's a combination between wanting to just collect a paycheck and a chance to play for a stanley cup. Not saying he'll play in the line up all year but if injuries occur, he will.... assuming he isn't one of them.

    Ouellet Debut Tonight

    khan is reporting now that ericsson's wife went into labor last night and that's why he won't play tonight.. injured shoulder isn't serious.

    But if you were Sammy, would you accept a trade to Florida? I wouldn't.. (ntc)

    Coaching Error

    I agree with starting howie.. yes, gus is playing hot but you don't want to risk him getting injured. Sammy over toots on the other hand.... think there could be a trade involving 22 on the horizon or something?
