He's played 66 games in the NHL. How good were Kindl, Ericsson, Quincey, or even Kronwall 66 games into their career? Smith unfortunately has to develop on an already inexperienced blueline. Those other guys (especially the first two) got to develop under a very solid defensive corps. 2 marcaractac and GoWings1905 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoalieManPat 1,007 Report post Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) I hate the Sammy in just to play the point on the PP. He brings nothing to it other than the ability to destroy shinpads. I would take any of the regular 6 dman on the point instead of Sammy. It also kills the 4th line which other than the top line has been Detroit's best the last 4 games. Lotsa games in a short time for the Wings + Sammy change I wouldnt be surprised to see the team regress and the Coyotes take this one 2-1.

Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted October 19, 2013 Good to hear...on my end things look a bit fuzzy and not sharp at all. For example, I can't even read the Jobing.com Arena text logo under "Live From", it's so blurred. Perhaps you've been drinking? That is acceptable That makes sense. Although our Point-Guys weren't that effective. I wonder if it would be a better choice to shift someone like Z or Dats on the Point and keep Tootoo in the Lineup instead of Sammy.I'd rather see Alfie-Kindl and DeKeyser feed Ericsson one-timers. Sammy is garbage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freshy 181 Report post Posted October 19, 2013 Hate the Sammy insertion for Toots. Why can't it be Kindle & Alfie on the 1st PP points and DD & Big Rig on the second? Isn't that what we did last game? Seemed to work out pretty well....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LGW! Edit: I'm here now. There is someone up in one of the suites who from far away looks very much like Bettman. I know it's probably not, but I can't fight the regret that I didn't try to smuggle in something nasty to dump on him...

BottleOfSmoke 5,965 Report post Posted October 20, 2013 Couple observations now that warm up is over. The Bettman alike is gone now, so I could not exact my revenge. Next time, Bettman. *shakes fist* I don't normally notice how lanky DK is on the ice, but he looks really skinny in person. Bert was lobbing pucks into the air and AppleFritter was bouncing them on his head. I can't stand Quincey's face. Z is stunningly beautiful in person. Let's all take a moment. *sigh* I judge players on whether or not they high five the kids as the head back into the tunnel *glares at Sammy* Parading your mascot around the ice to the tune of "who let the dogs out" is lame.
