Now he knows, And Somebody should sit him down and go over some video with him. P.S.

And I mean Detroit has no problem scoring so they should get rid of their players that can score. I agree We are too small and he's been gifted a top six role over better players that have proven something at the NHL level. If he didn't get that OT winner, he had a generally bad game in all three zones of the ice. Blashill utilizing him this way makes me genuinely concerned about his decision making if him and management don't have some plan for him. Swap Nyqvist/Tatar and move Pulks at third line and what happens? The second line is much better and the third line is much worse. What does this tell you about Pulkinnen? Why is this unproven rookie being carried to success over the good of the team? Edited November 22, 2015 by joesuffP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barabbas16 499 Report post Posted November 22, 2015 I hate howard. Even if he was the best goalie in the league. Hate his style and demenour. I don't even have to read the whole thread to know this is my favorite post. At least one out of the large number of LGW that feel exactly this is willing to say it. Good on you for honesty.

Richdg 267 Report post Posted November 22, 2015 So... do I bother reading the 9 pages of posts, or just assume that "Larkin is great", "Jimmy needs to be benched", "3 on 3 is awesome"...... We did win tonight right? BTW Kronwall is -8 so far this year. On pace for -32 for the season....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdjen 21 Report post Posted November 22, 2015 I didn't say he never made any good saves. I said he didn't come up with the big ones. Allen did, Howard did not. That's why this game is going to OT. You are right on! I don't another goalie who gives up so many goals in the last few minutes of a period or the game and many of them tying goals like tonight and Wednesday against Ottawa. I call him a 3goal goalie. He needs to play for a high scoring team as I think he is a fairly good goalie but not for a 1-2 goal team like Detroit.

Why is this unproven rookie being carried to success over the good of the team? He has the lowest ice-time of all our regular forwards, and has played more games with Miller/Andersson as a linemate than he's had with Datsyuk. Despite his limited use, he's one of the top producers on the team. He's not being carried to anything. He's earning everything. Except the irrational dislike so prevalent here. Definitely not earning that. 1 Finnish Wing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely not earning that. Lowest ice time of all forwards? Don't think that's right. Point is that Nyqvist and Tatar are clearly better players offensively and defensively. Nyqvist's minutes are going down despite having the most goals on the team (until Larkin got his eighth) We've got two 30 goal scorers playing the third line in favour of a guy that has less than 10 career goals that can't play D, forecheck or make any plays and is a midget. So either Blashill has a boner for him or he's being showcased Edited November 22, 2015 by joesuffP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So either Blashill has a boner for him or he's being showcased Lowest of our regular forwards. I suppose you could consider Andersson and Ferraro a regular though. 2.5 minutes less than Tatar and 3.5 less than Nyquist. In this game, he played just under 12 minutes, while Tatar and Nyquist played about 17. LA game he did play more than them, one of the few times this year. One game is hardly enough to call a trend, especially considering tonight's game. You say he can't play defense, but his defensive metrics are among the best on the team, with similar usage to Tatar and Nyquist. You say he can't forecheck in the GDT for a game where his forecheck helped create two goals. Yeah, he's small, but no smaller than Nyquist or Tatar. And he's producing about as well as those two. If it turns out that Tatar and Nyquist do start losing ice time to Pulks, and he's not producing enough to warrant it, then a change would be in order. But for now it looks like we might finally have three good lines. Nyquist-Sheahan-Tatar has been a good line in pretty much every game they've been together. As has Larkin-Z-Abby. Richards-Dats-Pulks has been together 2 games, been our best possession line both games, and got a goal tonight. Let it ride. And he has 11 career goals. 1 Finnish Wing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
