Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted November 24, 2014 Thanks for the GDT compliments. Anyone else remember the hilariously awful NHL Guardian campaign a few years back? 5 puckloo39, Hockeymom1960, kipwinger and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a very very limited recollection of it.I remember how fast it was scrapped and, reading about a design company losing millions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted November 24, 2014 Smith isn't eligible to come off short term injured reserve until Wednesday if I'm not mistaken, so he won't be in tonight. Datsyuk is a game time decision as far as I know. I doubt Weiss gets into the game tonight but he is eligible. I think he will possibly play on Wednesday against Philadelphia...

Vladinator16 236 Report post Posted November 24, 2014 Nice GDT! I'll be at the game tonight, not sure if thats good or bad though as last season the Wings were 0-4 when I was there... please don't kill me. 1 Hockeytown0001 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
derblaueClaus 1,668 Report post Posted November 24, 2014 Great GDT ! Smith isn't eligible to come off short term injured reserve until Wednesday if I'm not mistaken, so he won't be in tonight. Datsyuk is a game time decision as far as I know. I doubt Weiss gets into the game tonight but he is eligible. I think he will possibly play on Wednesday against Philadelphia... I think Weiss will be in tonight. Why get him rolling in GR and then stop him the next game he could play for the Wings ? 1 Hockeytown0001 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,524 Report post Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) I hope you're right derblaue. He needs to get in some games with the Wings as soon as possible. I hope you're both right. Weiss need repetitions and confidence and he's not going to get either of those on the bench. Hopefully Babs' understands and is on board with this. Weiss needs to be given a line, with competent wingers, and enough time to find his game. Which shouldn't be asking too much. Look how much time Babs has given Helm to find his game after his craptacular start. Weiss is going to have some bad games on the road to recovery. But if he keeps getting jerked after each bad outing, he's never going to gain any traction. For now I'd stick him on a line with Helm and Jurco as wingers, and just let him get his strength and speed back. They won't score much (or at all) but if they can play teams even (until Dats gets back and the lines shuffle again) I'll be happy.

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted November 24, 2014 what a great GDT for the guys who love this stuff... it's a work of art, Mikey. This will be my last game until next week to watch, as I am going to visit people who don't like hockey over Thanksgiving. They'll get all pissy if I disappear for three hours to watch the Wings. Worse than being locked up in the Joe Louis bathroom with Pee-air, for sure. Wings need to win for me, as I am sacrificing watching them for the next two games. LGW!!

AtlantaHotWings 987 Report post Posted November 24, 2014 Puckloo If they don't like hockey then obviously you get sick for 3 hours in the bathroom with the mobile device of choice and a charger. Make disgusting noises so they leave you alone! Wings hear your sacrifice and roll 3 in a row! 1 puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted November 24, 2014 According to Khan, Weiss is in and Datsyuk remains out. Hopes to be back in sometime this week. I hope Weiss is setup to succeed tonight, with a couple decent line mates and can get something going... Also, Kindl is back in... Not sure who is out? I'm hoping (assuming) it's Lashoff, not Ouellet. Weiss is on Helm's wing, along with Jurco and is also on the 2nd PP unit. Nyquist - Zetterberg - Abdelkader Tatar - Sheahan - Franzen Weiss - Helm - Jurco Miller - Glendening - Andersson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453 Report post Posted November 24, 2014 Let's go wings! I'm glad to see Weiss is in but I wish we had him at center. I'd like to see him getting back to playing his natural position. Does anybody know what position he was playing in GR? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anybody know what position he was playing in GR? Center. But you didn't think Babcock would make it easy did you? Obviously if you want a guy to be your second line center one day, you start him as your third line wing. It all makes perfect sense if you have an honorary PhD in Sports Psychology. Dumb asses like Jeff Blashill just make Weiss a center and give him decent wingers and look how that turns out... 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anybody know what position he was playing in GR? + 1. I believe it was Center in GR. I don't buy he's playing Winger until I see it tonight. If so it's a weird decision. Taking about weird : That Kindl thing is getting more weird. Was there a injury that they disclosed ? If so why ? And why not put im on IR then and save a rosterspot for Nestrasil ?

Jesusberg 1,256 Report post Posted November 24, 2014 I KNEW he'd be on a line with Helm... obviously. They're in the business of winning, and Weiss has to earn his keep, so give him Helm. *sigh*Just waiting for the, "man, Weiss was invisible tonight, let's buy him out" comments.I hope this is just Babs' idea of breaking him in slow, and he winds up with some special teams time and legitimate wingers in the next few games.

I hope this is just Babs' idea of breaking him in slow, and he winds up with some special teams time and legitimate wingers in the next few games. God knows I'm flabbergasted by almost all of Babcock's personnel decisions, but to be fair, all these lines are going to change the second Datsyuk is healthy enough to play.
