No. That a a bad idea. Then babs will say he's a warrior and he'll play 40 games before he gets benched. I'd rather see Weiss.

Me too, but the Weiss situation is just plain weird. Has Weiss even made any comments to the press about the benching?

Yep,

There was another article but I don't remember where. He seems to be dealing with it well. Hopefully we'll get to see hi play center in a game soon.

Apparently he's going back with the same lines as most of last game...

Abdelkader - Zetterberg - Nyquist

Tatar - Datsyuk - Helm

Nestrasil - Sheahan - Jurco

Miller - Glendening - Andersson

Kronwall - Ericsson

DeKeyser - Quincey

Smith - Kindl

Gustavsson

Howard

Holy God these lines were awful last game

I don't think those lines were THAT bad the other night, pretty close to what I would like to see... Put Franzen in Abdelkader's spot once he's healthy, put Abdelkader in Andersson's spot, bumping him out of the lineup, put Weiss in replace of Nestrasil, and switch Jurco and Helm... Then keep those lines for a few games and let them build some chemistry... Who am I kidding, not going to happen with Babcock as the coach...

Finally it all makes sense... Babcock said of his thought process in determining the lines: "I just get out the Bingo machine on the back of the bench and spin it around and throw it out". Finally some reasoning behind these lines... :lol:

Got to beat the lesser teams more consistently. Kids should try and pad their stats

4-1 PP gets one and Tatar gets deuces!

Kids should try and get some stats period. The veterans are the only ones scoring.

Ok, the veterans and Nyquist.

I saw that. He does have a pretty good sense of humor.

Here's the article for anyone interested. There's a couple of links in there I found interesting as well.

I don't think they're ready to be a consistent 2nd line scoring line against the good teams we've been playing. Good thing is they have been playing well for the most part just not going in. I feel they have mostly outplayed the other teams second line

Well, that might depend on how 'outplaying' is determined. I'm willing to bet that the 2nd lines for the Wings' opponents thus far have scored a bit more than the one goal Detroit's 2nd line has scored. Tatar, Sheahan, and Jurco need to start putting some pucks in the net.

I agree with most of this. I think they've been playing well but just not being rewarded. Tatar looks like he's getting frustrated now but I think if he keeps cool and keeps it simple things will start clicking.

Yeah it's a shame he was so tense and playing poorly when he finally got to play with datsyuk. He could have used that opportunity and ran with it

I like the part about how babs asked z in front of tats what the longest scoring drought he had was and z said 21 games. Maybe that will help loosen tats up a bit knowing it's not the end of the world if he doesn't score
