Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Great to see that our beloved hero Cleary is in the 2nd lineup, where he hopefully belongs when the season starts. Edited October 2, 2015 by Jacksoni Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jesusberg 1,256 Report post Posted October 2, 2015 The one thing kind of throwing me off is that Jurco is skating with the other group, again. He was with Nosek-Ferraro last game, so I'm assuming it'll be the same tomorrow night. Kind of weird to see him leading the team in plus-minus (+6) and stuck with a group that looks to be the 12th-14th forwards. At the very least, you'd think he'd be in over Miele. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,908 Report post Posted October 2, 2015 Not a bad lineup I'd say! Pretty full of NHL'rs on both sides. Is it just me or does that Larkin - Richards - Tatar line look deadly? Wish I could watch it, but I will be traveling back to Detroit for my weekend of work, 80 hours in three days! But hopefully I can find it somewhere on the "Tune-In Radio" app! Let's Go Wings! This game means nothing, but doesn't it really? Would be nice to give our former coach a nice pre-season whoop up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NitzGuy 38 Report post Posted October 2, 2015 It looks nice but I don't know how I feel about throwing Larkin on the wing. He said he hasn't been on the wing in a long time and he'supposed to be our future 1C. I know the switch isn't massive but it feels a bit unneeded at this time.

I know the switch isn't massive but it feels a bit unneeded at this time.A lot of centers start out on the wing when they first break into the NHL so they're not relied upon as heavily while they get used to the physicality/ tempo/etc, or if there is already too many NHL centermen on the team.Maybe they're thinking about starting him with the wings on the wing?

Ooooo mmyy gaawwddd I feel like something just happened in your pants, and we all walked in on it and are now just standing awkwardly in the doorway fiddling with the buttons on our shirt and not knowing where to look. That being said, I CAN ACTUALLY WATCH THIS GAME?!?! 2 martinezsvsu and jimmyemeryhunter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they're thinking about starting him with the wings on the wing? Yea that's definitely what it's looking like. Everything seems to be pointing to towards him starting in the NHL. He's definitely been given the most opportunity at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jesusberg 1,256 Report post Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) I almost wonder if they're considering Larkin over Jurco/Pulkkinen for a spot in the lineup (would explain why Jurco's been skating on a line with fringe players). Maybe they're firm on keeping Sheahan at center, and want to see how Larkin looks on the wing. It would mean waiving one of Andersson or Ferraro if Helm's ready for the season opener. Just spitballing here, of course.Abdelkader-Zetterberg-NyquistLarkin-Richards-TatarFranzen-Sheahan-HelmMiller-Glendening-Ferraro/AnderssonJurco, Pulkkinen Edited October 2, 2015 by Jesusberg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they're thinking about starting him with the wings on the wing? I'm also wondering if they are looking to get him into line up opening night. But because we have all of our centers healthy (except Datsyuk), the only way to have him in lineup is having him as a wing.
