    11/27 GDT : Edmonton Oilers at Red Wings, 7:30 EST

    I got in just before the horn at the end of the first. What's the short recap, and who got Kronwalled?

    Great GDT as always! I will be on the road coming back from my parents. Let's Go Wings! I want to come home and turn on the TV to a Wings dominating lead.

    You may have just made me blow some of my next paycheck. Thanks for the link.

    91-92 jerseys

    Second the sportsK suggestion. I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on the barbershop pole jersey for a while myself, but torn over what player to get. I already have a Konstantinov white with the 75th anniversary patch (though if anyone has a lead on another of those patches, I'd pay a fair price for it).

    What Are You Playing?

    I've done more than a bit of that already... It's kind of nice when you have a quest start and you've already completed it for super quick XP. Post-apocalyptic Skrimmy goodness.

    Jurco on Conditioning Assignment in GRs

    You make a very compelling case for the Larkin/Nyquist switch. I'm on board with it. I think you work Pulk back in after a couple of games when he is chomping at the bit. Helm is definitely 4th line at this point, IMHO. I'm OK with sitting Miller from the fourth line (as Bill jumps with glee. ), as long as his replacement is suited for the fourth line like your option listed for keeping Pulks in. I honestly feel that one of the worst things you can do to a player, especially younger ones, is play them in a role that their game isn't suited for. Jurco on the 4th line under Babcock provides some empirical evidence.

    Jurco on Conditioning Assignment in GRs

    I wouldn't be opposed to a reunion of Tatar-Sheahan-Jurco. They had clicked pretty well earlier. Keep Hank-Abs-Larkin together, Pavel-Richards-Nyquist as the top two lines. Helm is going to be a beast on the fourth line. Let Pulkks sit for a couple of games.

    Great poke check by Mrazek

    Another solid save by Mrazek. That goalie is quick, fast, hungry, and has a killer instinct like a velociraptor. Jurassic Mrazek is on the job. Feel free to do a photoshop if you have the skills Let's Go Wings!

    Good save by Mrazek there. We got lucky that the pass missed Bergeron right after, though.

    Come on guys, good kill. Time for the insurance marker.

    Jurco on Conditioning Assignment in GRs

    . <------- the point. ---------------------> you Jurco should be a forward on a scoring line, not in a grinding, primarily defensive role on the fourth line as has been explained nearly ad infinitum. Here's hoping Jurco keeps tearing it up and comes back to the Wings with renewed confidence and a healthy back and starts to tear it up in Detroit. Blood on him for doing so well in his conditioning stint.

    11/25 GDT : Boston Bruins at Red Wings, 7:30 EST

    Up 2-1 after 2, I'll take it. It would be nice to catch Larkin with a pass as he comes out of the box to ring one up early in the third.

    Helm and Kronwall with the assists? Sounded like that's what the announcer said. Yep, Ken just confirmed it.

    Tatar rips it from the slot after coming off the bench to take the lead!

    Stick slashed out of Richards' hands no call.

    Assists from Marchenko and Pulkkinen.

    True, true. Silly me wanting good officiating.

    Caught a break with the power play. Time to deke Gustavsson so hard he pulls a groin. (I actually like the guy, but F the Bruins).

    How did they not call Krug for piling on Larkin like that?

    Jurco on Conditioning Assignment in GRs

    Maybe the Jurco/AA budding chemistry is part of Blashill's master plan to take over the NHL. Jurco is looking good so far in this conditioning stint, hopefully it translates back to the NHL.

    I'm level 21 on Fallout 4. It's the first Fallout I've played. Any recommendations? I've done a few of the minuteman quests and found the railroad. I played the Halo 5 campaign and a bit of warzone and done about half the Blops III campaign and a little bit of zombies.

    11/21 GDT : Red Wings at St. Louis Blues, 8:00 EST

    Wings win, the Blues are banged up, and some things start to clock better. Pavel, Goose, Larkin, Helm, Green pick up goals.

    Abdelkader and Hank with the assists.
