This lineup still needs to be better against this Baby Hawks team. 9 shots on goal

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Great pass by Kronner.

[Echolalia 2,961]

how do you get a breakaway on a powerplay

[krsmith17 7,191]

So Kindl has played a piss poor game and has two assists to show for it... Unreal.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Good save Coreau.

[jimmyemeryhunter 2,747]

Coreau stops bickell on a breakaway.

And were about to be on another pk.

[joesuffP 1,746]

Didn't even notice lol. He has been noticeably bad imo. He can't make a play under pressure at all

[jimmyemeryhunter 2,747]

Never mind, we came out of that with a pp

[rick zombo 3,739]

He's one of the best terrible D men in the NHL.

[kipwinger 8,522]

I mean, Kindl obviously isn't mike Green. But he hasn't been scored on and moved the puck well on two goals. What more do you want out of a third pair defenseman?

I want him to be a living, breathing bobblehead on skates.

But that's a personal opinion.

Well he's not the popular choice, so...

[kipwinger 8,522]

I'm not suggesting they should hand him a roster spot based on tonight's performance or anything. But his strength is supposed to be that he contributes offensively. And tonight he's done that. And hasn't been scored on. I'd say that's a decent night for Jakub.

He actually does put up points when hes been in the lineup, he did it quite well last season.

If he could make himself a better player in the d zone he'd be an awesome 3rd pair guy.

[kipwinger 8,522]

I don't care about his play in the defensive zone. He rarely plays there. None of our third pair guys do, and very few third pair guys around the league do.

I want my third pair puck mover, whoever it is (Smith, Ouellet, Kindl, Jensen) to score points. Facilitate offense. Nobody has a problem letting Dekeyser bail Green out in the D-zone. Why? Because Green scores. So why not let Quincey bail out whoever he plays with?

Scoring matters. For a long time everybody forgot about that because Babcock didn't seem to care. But it does matter.

Quincey's going to be back there so he'll have some good coverage.

Q-S has always been a scary combo so I'd prefer Q-K. We'll probably see both early on.

[joesuffP 1,746]

Our first line is hard to watch

[jimmyemeryhunter 2,747]

I agree, but the times that he's not in the offensive zone I don't want the puck in our net, or him taking a penalty every time he's out there.

Honestly, we have such a horrid logjam on d that I don't even know what I want from our third pairing anymore.

Points would be nice, but i feel like no matter what we end up with it won't be the best possible outcome.

[krsmith17 7,191]

The only reason I brought it up, is because Kindl seems to get on the scoresheet, even when he is having an awful game and even though they are secondary assists. The first one, he made a decent outlet pass to Tatar, the second one, he just happened to be on the ice, and the last one to touch the puck before that great pass by Kronwall. Either way, good job Jakub. Keep it up.

[joesuffP 1,746]

Where is Johan?

[krsmith17 7,191]

He'll be playing tomorrow night with the same group that played last night.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Really excited about this line.
