Fabbri and Nemeth out, top line is Ryan - Filppula - Mantha

Best case scenario, Brome in for Filppula, Biega in for Nemeth Worst case scenario, Brome in for Svechnikov, Biega in for Djoos

Great game outta Svech, he's making a case to stay up

I believe in miracles, where Djoos from? You sexay wing.

Fabbri and Ryan seem to click. Hirose and Fabbri seemed to click last season. Ryan - Fabbri - Hirose when Bert and Larkin are healthy? I'd bury Mantha on the 3rd line right now, make the top line Bert - Larkin - Zadina and see where it goes. Mantha can go play with a couple guys who work hard every shift in Erne and Glendening and see how it goes, or some combination with Namestnikov.

Looks like Nielsen in, Svech in. Not set in stone but DailyFaceoff just updated the lines as these Ryan - Fabbri - Mantha Zadina - Namestnikov - Gagner Erne - Glendening - Helm Nielsen - Filppula - Svechnikov DeKeyser - Hronek Staal - Merrill Djoos - Nemeth

Still no lines yet, Fabbri likely to center the top line with Larkin day to day with an upper body injury

I haven't seen lines either, came to post up that Svechnikov is in. Eager to see his placement and who is down, Mantha scratched again maybe?

Wft are spam bots posting about flubber for? Real excited, god I hope Raymond pans out and this team can find a direction.

My normal sources for lines haven't been updated since Tuesday, so i'll post up closer to game time. Now they are saying they have "no idea" how long Bertuzzi will remain out and is currently week to week. He had a shaky start to the season and this is a lot more down time, I expect when he returns he will need a handful to shake off the rust, maybe the top line can be reunited and the scoring will be better than 0 to 2 goals per game. I'll be here and watching, haven't missed a game this season but it's not getting much easier to sit through. In it for the long haul though, LGW! Also I noticed I have the option to "feature topic" and I have no idea what it's going to do so i'm going to pin and feature this bad boy. UPDATE lines a bit shuffled tonight Fabbri - Larkin - Mantha Ryan - Namestnikov - Zadina Erne - Glendening - Helm Brome - Filppula - Gagner DeKeyser - Hronek Staal - Merrill Djoos - Nemeth Bernier/Greiss (unconfirmed)

1-1 after 1, Glendening with a goal from Zadina and Helm, first point of the season for Helm. PP 0 for 1 Bernier being Bernier and made some great stops, Preds scored their only goal on the PP from Granlund. Pretty even game so far.

Been a while since I did photoshop work here, we have a new sponsor going into tonight

They came out today on TSN and said that there has been interest in Glendening, Ryan, and Staal from other teams and the Wings are ready to sell. If we can get anything for Staal, jump on it ASAP. I'd hate to lose Glendening, if the Wings were a good team he would be a valuable player to have, i'd like to think if they do move him, he could bring in a decent return. If Ryan wants to go to a better team, after showing nothing but heart, drive and hard work on this team, I say let him go and get something in return. Again, i'm kind of surprised Staal has interest, but jump on the first bag of pucks offered and get him outta here. I'd assume they would have to retain a bit of salary but either way. I'd be okay with moving Mantha if it made sense, i'm losing faith in how much he actually cares and is giving me the "I don't want to play here anymore" vibes when he's floating out there and seemingly putting forward minimal effort.

Larkin - Mantha - Helm Ryan - Fabbri - Zadina Filppula - Namestnikov - Gagner Brome - Glendening - Erne DeKeyser - Hronek Staal - Merrill Nemeth - Djoos Bernier (unconfirmed)

Besides Vancouver who have played 23 games, the Wings are 2nd in the league for most games played along with Ottawa so they have the upper hand at being in last place on top of it. 4th overall pick here we come.

Hate to go against the boys, but idk if I agree with that call. It looks like Erne interfered much more falling into Bernie, or he would have recovered from that bump from the Preds player.

Wake me up when the game starts jeez.. snoozefest

Helm on the top line isn't helping my opinion

What was Merrill arguing there? That was the most interference call for interference i've seen in a while lol.

I hate to say it, but if I remember correctly, his contract expires at the end of next season. If they bring him back, it's just throwing a giant wrench in the rebuild and the progress of this team. This system does not work. Period. I'm so sick and tired, and extremely bored of the dump and chase, if they happen to get it, put it around the boards to the point. D shoots it, 1 on 5 make it on net without getting blocked. Rinse, repeat. They need new coaching, including Bylsma, they can both go.

Yeah these lines aren't set in stone, this is what Khan reported were the lines in practice this morning. Obviously I goofed and Larkin is at C on the first line and Mantha on Wing, but Helm was on the 1st with them today.

They really are wanting to open up every opportunity for Darren Helm to thrive on the first line by putting the hardest working player on the team at Center.

Seems like the same lines as last night, let's come out better than 7-2 to say the least. RIP Sergei Tchekmarev LGW!

I think so, Wings don't play again until Tuesday and they said Bert likely to return after this weekend.
