What I'd like to hear at the end of this game is the same thing ah swear ah heard last night around 11pm CDT.  After I stopped whooping and hollering, there was this glorious kind of echo...like thousands of voices from around the world raised in sheer ecstacy at Dats's goal and the Wings' victory.  All of us coming together for all the right reasons.   Ah believe it, ah buhleeeve!!  

 

And just as I dozed off, and after fretting the usual list of crap, there was a smile on my face just thinking about that ending.  

 

GO, WINGS!!!

How is it well deserved?

 

He's been our least effective forward all season, not just on the scoreboard, and if there is any truth to Babcock's quote that the players decide who plays, then Abdelkader has played his way out of the lineup, even if it's only for one game.

After last night, he has 20+ more hits than any other Wing (60+ for Abby). He has a positive giveaway/takeaway (Andersson is highly negative), and has a good FO%. Abby is also very responsible defensively, as seen by him switching with Nyquist only to counter RNH in the first period last night. No one else on the Wings works as well in the corners either. He isn't a skilled player, but he is a hard working physical player.

Edit- if you were watching the FSD feed last night, Mick explained that Dats likes Abby on his line because of his physical corner play.

Nyquist on the top line instead of Cleary would be nice, but Babs seems extremely opposed to using Tatar or Nyquist in that role. I would be fine with Abdelkader being scratched -- Eaves is a better player anyways.

 

Jimmy is probably going to need to steal this game tonight. Tough opponent on the second night of back-to-back. Let's Go Red Wings!

Just can't figure this team out.  Lose the games you should win, but win the ones you should lose   What team shows up tonight?

I'll be here for half of the game before leaving for work. 

 

It seemed to work well for us last night.  From what I hear, Flip scored minutes after I left.

 

Go Wings!

Bought a Package of Toblerone this day and will eat it during the game. So it would fit in very nice if Brunners scores tonight. GO Wings GO !

Khan reporting that Nyquist and Huskins scratched

[evilzyme]

Abby got cut last night in the 2nd period. Didn't notice until after the game when he went to take off his skates and his laces were cut. Saw blood. They fixed him up with some protection and hes playing tonight. Pavel still wants him playing with him is the word.

[skyphoenix]

Abdelkader got cut on his foot last night, almost scratched due to injury but they padded his skate up and he'll be good to go and I got beat to it.

can this thing end

[GoWings1905]

Why call up Nyquist to scratch him? It's not like there aren't other options to choose from in the unproductive forward category.
