Was a good goal. Queen Henrik misplayed the puck behind the net which cost him.

A bold prediction that will likely not come true. Your other ones have a better chance for sure.

Well I mean you're right. Zetterberg did lead the ice time with 19:23 and Nielsen was second with 17:30. To close out the game with 2-1 lead, Blashill put Zetterberg and Nielsen in the last 2 minutes of the game. Zetterberg was also the guy taking the faceoffs against Zibanejad in those two minutes and won his faceoffs (except 1). So yes you are right, the STRONG DEFENSIVE forwards we're definitely leaned on. The same two guys that were nominated for Selke trophies in their careers. Glad we agree on something!

Bold prediction : Mantha makes the Wings roster soon after this thread gets moved the Prospects section.

We would probably get Petr Budaj in return. Goalie for Goalie. Howard would be more of a salary dump for us.

If they're REALLY interested then the GM goes as well.

Goalie battle still on?

That's cause Zibanejad the hockey player is also from Iran.

I mean there's 3:40 left in the third so Blashil double shifts Glendening and Miller aka the worst possession line out there..... Got lucky with that high stick.

Omg Howard what a save lol

Why does Zetterberg play net front now lol.

Not anymore, we will win the Stanley cup for sure now.

Holy s*** Vanek

Nah man we have Nielsen now, best shootout shooter in the league.

Anyone else notice that we have a lot of former Captains and Assistant captains (both NHL and college level) on our team?

The only two differences between the Bertuzzi hit and Weber smashing Zetterberg's head was that Bertuzzi wasn't deliberately trying to break Moore's spine and Weber actually wanted to hurt Zetterberg's entire head and smash it (because why else would you grab someone's head with both hands and drive it into the boards with perfect planned coordination). Other difference is that Moore got unlucky and Zetterberg got very lucky. Funny how the results of hits can change people's perspective of players. Weber is well-respected, while Bertuzzi is still considered a criminal by some.

New Bruise Brothers. Read below. http://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2016/10/18/new-bruise-brothers-wings-vow-protect-each-other/92366204/ I bet Ericsson is doing what he can to keep his spot by fighting more now. And Blashill seems to love fighting so.... it might actually work.

I love how one of our top lines is full of skill, extremely high hockey IQ, and then our other top line has minimal skill and a centerman that's probably bashing his head over who he's given. Poor Nielsen, and we thought Datsyuk had lesser wingers the last 2-3 years. Blashill be like.. "Ima take it to another level of torturing my centerman" Here's to hoping Sheahan gets a hatrick tonight.

^ good predictions

Yeah I was going to say, Ducks had a really bad start last year for almost like the first 10-15 games? I remember they we're bottom of the league then turned it around. I don't think they are as bothered about a bad start this year since they overcame it last year. But different coach so who knows. But yes, it would be nice if they traded someone...

Empty net? Uhh no he didn't lol. And this is how we know you didn't actually watch the game

Sheahan should go down to 4th and AA upto 2nd with Neilsen. Keep 3rd line the way it is

Not when they do things like this : http://www.wingingitinmotown.com/2016/10/13/13272504/wiims-charity-challenge But yes, they do complain a lot and like I said, it's likely due to the way things have been the last 2-3 years with the team. Standard whining protocol.

Two hockey fights in final home opener of an arena named after Joe Louis the boxer. Love it. Nope no bad seats in the Joe at all.
