amato 3,210 Report post Posted October 23, 2013 Just came here to post about xo.. according to Khan, it's precautionary. Kronner= gametime decision. He's at the desist after a puck to the face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted October 23, 2013 Could work Kronwall with Smith. Let him simplify play in his own end and jump into the play here and there. We need to get him going offensively. Our goals scored per game is low because our Defense is contributing nothing offensively compared to where we were just a couple years ago. Need them to create offense and if smith can start to do that he can be a crucial part of this team 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Melynk can go f.himself for all I care, every time a player is.leaving his team he tries to make them look bad. Running such a good young team being cheap is not the way to go. Alfie gave them a favorable contract for over an decade and yet he can't throw 5.5 million at the best player this team ever had and THE face of the franchise?

marcaractac 3,960 Report post Posted October 23, 2013 Boooooooo "@AnsarKhanMLive: Based on the skate, it looks like Smith will be paired with Kronwall. DeKeyser is with Quincey and Kindl with Lashoff." This is good. Smith showed how much better he can be when not paired with Q. I think this will make each pairing better all around. Hopefully when E is back, Smith will play with Deke or Kindl, and not Q. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted October 23, 2013 Since last season I've actually been wanting Smith to play with Kronwall, but then Ericsson showed such good chemistry with him. Now with E out for a bit we may get to see if it's good for either of them. (Well as long as Kronwall even plays tonight, sheesh) Should be a good game, hopefully the Wings win 10-0 and Alfie scores all the goals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,458 Report post Posted October 23, 2013 It's good to see that after being healthy scratched for three of Detroit's best games, and then making his way back onto the lineup because of injury, and finally playing one decent game, Brendan Smith is being rewarded with top pair minutes. Other young guys can't seam to crawl their way onto this team, yet Brendan gets top minutes for some unknown reason. What's that you say? It's good for his confidence? Definitely. In the sense that anyone would be confident if all they had to do was play a decent game out of every ten in order to get prime minutes. Hell, with that as your only stipulation Kyle Quincey ought to be promoted to defenseman of the world and play alongside Superman with the Incredible Hulk and Thor as a second pairing.

I see where you're coming from, I just see it has pairing their weakest dman with their best while E is out just to give some sort of balance to all the pairings. Will help smith a lot to play with a good vet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
