Larkin... kid is special.

Gonna be at the game tonight!!! Got seats behind the wings goal.
This will be my first time seeing Mrazek and Jurco in person. I'm hoping Mrazek puts on a show tonight and bounces back from a couple lackluster games.

I think when Abby comes back we role with...
Goose-Z-Abby
Tats-D-Helm
Weiss-Sheahan-Franzen
Miller-Glenny-Jurco
You just can't break up pasha's line right now. They are the definition of "on fire." Jurco have that 4th line some really offensive upside. Let Abby pull the piano for Z and maybe he'll break out of his funk.

Wings are playing lights out this season, keep it up boys!!!

Completely disagree with that

At this point if Weiss can keep producing for 4 or 5 more games I think babs has to consider giving him the keys to the second line C spot.
Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Abby
Nyquist - Weiss - Franzen
Tatar - Sheahan - Jurco
Miller - Helm - Glendening
I would consider moving Helm in a deal in the second half of the season for an upgrade at D.
Kronwall - Smith
Ouellet - Dekeyser
Quincey - Ericsson (PK and shut down)
Lashoff
Get rid of Kindl for literally anything or waive him.

Did you see that dude in the replay?
What bro?
I'll mess you up

Does anyone know who has the locker next to Z?
Considering Z probably has a good 4 years left in him I'm saying out next C will be chosen for the 2019-2020 season.
C: Nyquist
A: Dekeyser
A: Abby
Nyquist to me is so much like Z in the way he talks and plays the game. Z always looks like a proud dad when Nyquist scores. I feel like he is really being groomed to take over that spot.
I don't think Nastasiuk will get an A that early in his pro career. Figuring he spends two years in GR or so. Same for Larkin. He won't spend much if any time in GR, but I don't see him getting an A as soon as he joins the team.
If Abby is still around I could see him getting an A. He has improved, always stays out of trouble and like Dekeyser is a Michigan product. That last spot is wide open to me though. Could be anyone from Mantha to Smith to Abby to Glendening.

Called the 4-3 OT win... just saying.
Another good game from Smith and Dekeyser. Gotta get Kindl off this club.

Who could have predicted your post? Predictable.
Anyway, Datsyuk plays tomorrow. So really only one of out top four is out with an injury.

Leafs jersey thrown onto the ice, Mickey is pissed!

"I hope he paid $5k for that jersey!"

Another pretty decent statistic.

If there are any Wings fans in the Washington, D.C. area you're more than welcome to join me and some buddies at the Ivy and Coney bar in Shaw for the game. It's a Detroit and Chicago themed bar that serves coneys and local beer. Half of the place is garbage. I'll let you decide which.

Id like to see Cleary and Weiss shipped for Crosby and Malkin

You’ve been the one eager to point out that they were going to have a bad year based on ZERO games. So, whatever.

Good luck Toots!

BUNGHOLE

I'm sure that's the eventual plan, but I think right now the big thing is getting him back to game form. He's been off the ice for the greater part of two years, and now that's he's ready to come back, its with a team/system/coach that he hasn't really had an opportunity to play with at 100%. He had a hop in his step during the preseason that was absent all last year, and he was looking to get involved more, but Weiss' timing was way off. He wasn't completing passes well, he didn't seem in synch with his line-mates, or the game overall, for that matter. I don't know what Babcock and co are thinking with benching him because I obviously don't have access to the practices or lockerroom, but I have to imagine that they want him to get back up to speed, and comfortable with the pace and the way the Wings play before giving him time on the top 6, against other team's top players. I suspect this process will take a few weeks.
