I agree with this and that is why I believe they need to be spread throughout the lines: So I would roll with Larkin - Z - Abs Tatar - Datsyuk - Jurco Nyq - AA - Richards Helm - Glendening - Sheahan For those who don't like Richards put Pulk there.

If it were me I would roll with Z - Pav- Abs Nyq- AA - Larkin Tatar-Richards-Jurco Sheahan-Glendening-Helm

I don't mind trying those lines at all, especially if we aren't willing to call anyone up. If I was my choice I would go with Nyquist - Z- Abs Larkin - Datsyuk - Tatar Richards - AA - Jurco Helm - Sheahan - Glendening It does a disservice to Sheahan who admittedly has played beyond a 4th line level, but I loved what AA showed while he was here and I want to see him play.

They both deserve to be in the top 2 lines. But in reality we have been playing well besides our late game melt downs. So its hard to want to mix things up. Especially because the Sheahan-Tatar-Nyquist line has been good But if I had to mix things up - Its moving Nyquist and Tatar up. Moving Abs down and getting Jurco regular minutes. So my lines which I posted elsewhere would look like Nyquist - Z- Larkin Tatar- Pavel - Jurco Pulkinnen - Richards - Helm Miller - Sheahan - Abs

We are mishandling Jurco. Let him get a run of games in the top 9 and see how he does. Also the 4th line has been surrendering leads so lets put Pulkinnen there, That makes no sense and makes that line terrible.

My wife and I are looking at celebrating our 10 year anniversary in Nashville to see the Wings take on the Predators. Just wondering if anyone has attended a game in Nashville? Is there a visitors section, is there a way to get tickets through the Redwings? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for all the input. We love Nashville as a city, we will be staying downtown by the stadium. Just never been to a game down there.

It is winning hockey. Hence the winning record and as I said if the power play had any life at all that number would be better, and the power play will eventually wake up

I am just not sure I get the complaining and whining about style of play. Would it be great to win 5-1 every night? Yes, but what team is doing that? Generally if you score more goals you are going to give up more goals. Our style is fine, lets be honest we won the game last night in regulation, so the style of play was not the problem. Honestly our strategy of play solid defensive puck possession hockey is just fine Because here is the plan: 1. Get a goal or 2 at even strength 2. lock the other team down(we have been doing that) 3. Get opportunities for the power play and take advantage The only problem we have right now is #3. If the power play gets any kind of pulse we will be a very solid team. Last night we had a goal taken away from us, and our power play was abysmal.. fix the power play and these close games aren't as close anymore

i am pissed, this game was won and over but then enter the refs Come on Wings, lets go

what a freaking terrible call... but some more Datsyuk magic. Good to have him back. I am loving this team

Howard has been fantastic. Can't wait until Pavel is back.. I love this team(even though this game has not been the best effort at times)

Franzen was great tonight

great pass and set up from Franzen... we need him to play with that size and strength night in and night out

There we go. Now lets get another and take control of this

Owed $10 - Sent $25- Hope that next year I owe a lot more because of good play from the Wings

that was disappointing

I hope I am eating these words later but Tatar needs to sit for a game

damn it damn it damn it

He hasn't been cleared. That was reported this morning. But based on practicing yesterday and today(on line with Dats and 1st power play) everyone is assuming he is playing tonight. But as babcock said this morning it is a game time decision for the doctors to make but it would be a shock if he didn't play at this point

They did. You also had to create a spot for Z.

Kronwall, Franzen, and Helm were on the 2008 team that won the cup and Drew Miller won the cup with Anaheim in 2007

As I said its not Bertuzzi being in the lineup that is the problem. Its where he is putting him. I get wanting a veteran to calm the young guys but there is other ways to do that Bert if playing needs to be with Z and Dats. It is where he plays best and he can protect Z, plus it gets Abs off the top line. You could put Legwand with the kids to settle them. It makes better use of Legwand who has far more to offer than 4th line play. Then put Abs on the 4th line and let that line grind on the bruins

Thanks for sharing. Hasn't been talked about at all.

I have no problem with Bert in but I would play him with Z and Dats
