Looks like we have a change in D-Pairs

#RedWings change a couple of their defense pairs: Kronwall-Ericsson DeKeyser-Marchenko Quincey-Green Smith (extra) skating with Pulkkinen

Also, no surprise but it looks like Jimmy gets the start

At this point, I'm game for whatever. We are scoring 1 goal a game. If the coach thinks taking out our best offensive defenseman will improve scoring, then so be it. If our strategy is to shutout all the remaining teams wevplay so our 1 goal holds up, then let's do it!!

I know there are a very small few that still support Smith here, but even the biggest Smith haters (as stupid as it may be) have to see the upside Smith brings to this lackluster defense... He's by far the most efficient skater on the back end, he's been one of the few defenseman that has actually been able to get shots through from the point, and despite not putting up the points, has been generating a lot of scoring chances. I think yesterday's game he was one of our best defenseman (again) and was making a lot happen in the offensive zone. Now he's the odd man out again? f*** off... He's still going to make a scattered bad play, and because that's what he's become known for by fans, those are the plays most people concentrate on, but there's no question, that the majority of games he's played this season, the positives have heavily outweighed the negatives.

I think this season, DeKeyser has been far and away our best all around defenseman, despite his struggles of late, Quincey has been by far the most steady on the back end, and Smith has been one of our better defenseman at generating scoring opportunities, despite, like was mentioned before, the lack of point production... Everyone else has been subpar in my opinion...

To be honest I'm not concerned with our defense. Our defense has declined since Lidstrom left. But we still got through the last 3 seasons. What concerns me is now our offense is dead. Mrazek was literally what was keeping us in it and he's in a slump.

Before it was an issue of 1 out of 3 factors.

Now it's an issue of all 3 factors. (offense, defense and goaltending).

At least we had 2 out of 3 from 2013 -2015

I agree. Our decense isnt the glaring issue. We need goals. Pulkkinen and Ant Man need to be in the line up and need to be on the pp firing shots. No more Richards. No more Abdelkader on the first line. No more Tatar and Nyquist turnovercapades. Get the kids out there and pressure the shyte out of the opponent.

Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Mantha

Pulkkinen-Larkin-Athanasiou

Gledening-Helm-Abdelkader

Tatar-Sheahan-Nyquist

1st pp:

DeKeyser

Pulkkinen-Larkin-Zetterberg

Sheahan

2nd pp:

Smith

Mantha-Athanasiou-Datsyuk

Abdelkader

Great flyers won and are now 2 points away from the wings ... We keep playing 500 hockey we won't be making the playoffs , time to wake the f*** up

First thing I think we should do is bring back the Larkin zetterberg abdelkader line , maybe that'll get Larkin going again ... Mantha needs to be called up for some games ASAP , he won't be the reason we get in alone but if he can help us get a few wins with that shot he needs to be here ..and it'll actually give pavel someone with a lethal shot on his wing for once
