This is why I'm suggesting that there maybe something more to it. Is Jurco in management doghouse? Did he sleep with Holland's daughter? Who knows! Wouldn't be surprised - he's a damn good lookin dude

We need to focus less on one player and root for the team as a whole. The Tatar- Sheahan - Nyquist line has been one of our best. Blashill personally thinks it IS the best. (per his interview today). So that's not going to split. Richards is useless on the 4th line - he would get demolished sooner or later. Jurco has experience on the 4th line. Blash is using his head to do the best for his entire unit. Not just one guy. I like Jurco believe me. But this team doesn't revolve around him. We need to win games. And to be honest. Our offense has been damn good lately.

I don't recall this? Was I on some sort of drugs? Which games?

Datsyuk and Zetterberg on same PP unit for next game. Glad they finally realized the PP is s*** and needed shuffling

It IS odd that Babcock played Jurco on 4th line and then Blash straight up scratches him and/or limits him to 4th line as well. All the while Larkin plays 1st line night in and night out and AA comes in and plays 3rd line for a few games. Keep in mind that Blash was Jurco's former coach in GR and there was never an issue then.. Leads me to believe that. 1. It ISN'T the coaches/management. 2. We don't know jack. There's something else going on here.

Imagine if Jurco gets scratched for AA.

They mean 4 points in a tight conference. Which actually means a lot.

Meh I blame the shoulder pads more than the players commiting the hit. Those things are hard. Mickey eluded to it during the game as well.

Blash has said in the past he doesn't care who plays center between Z and D. "They'lle figure it out when they're out there" or something like that was what he said. Z can play any position anyways. I think last night he went from Center to Right Wing to Left Wing and then back to Center lol. I'm sure D will mostly play center in this line.

Top two lines look great. Richards with Larkin, I can see the logic. It balances out our lines and Larkin might help Richards get going. 4th line is bad. But we dont really have choices and I'm not interested in seeing AA play on the 4th line.

God I can't even imagine most of the 35+ year old plus players on that 3 on 3. NHL should have a lot of docs ready at the all-star game in case Jagr or any other oldie collapses.

Yeah. Assuming the teams don't win the games they still have yet to play. Wings played 26 games and hence hold the lead in standings. Most other teams right below us have only played 23-24 games. But the Wings have done what they needed to do so far , just gotta hope the others lose their games.

Well looks like we will get to see how team will look without Miller. Jurco as all the dam opportunity in the world now.

About even but edge to Smith. Smith hit him square with the first punch and got him a bit whoozy. But then they kept going at it.

Zetterberg 7 shots on goal lol. Back to the old days eh? Awesome game by the wings.

Yeah, some of the little plays he makes and the little keep away plays he does in the corner. You know he's a Russian breed.

Nyquist - Sheahan - Tatar line is better than what a lot of people expected it to be. I'm fine with it.

i'm liking the D/Z/Larkin line

40 seconds Dats and Z come on the ice for a shift and the puck possession is ridiculous. Still amazes me even after 13 years of watching these two play together on and off.

Out for the game. He's played 189 games in a row btw.

By cross checking and boarding and hitting more of our players in the jaw. Surely enough of us would go down to where they can score. OR. When they continuously do it, one of our guys finally turns around and stands up for himself.

Lol I always say Big Byf, such a habit. Bifffff

Probably. That was a good exchange. Smith hit him hard to start.

RIP Probie. Great rivalry Domi loved the dude. Good period.
