Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted October 19, 2016 Howard's starting tonight Green is on pace for 27 hat tricks on the season (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Larkin and Tatar and Nyquist are due. Actually, the nice thing about the start of a season is that most of your players are due Free AA + Mantha 1 DatsyukianDekes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935 Report post Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Let's Go Howard!! Show off your trade value, er, I mean skills. Lines according to MLIVE: http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2016/10/red_wings_lineup_vs_rangers_ji.html#incart_river_index "Tomas Tatar-Dylan Larkin-Henrik Zetterberg Justin Abdelkader-Frans Nielsen-Riley Sheahan Gustav Nyquist-Darren Helm-Thomas Vanek Andreas Athanasiou-Luke Glendening-Drew Miller Steve Ott (healthy scratch) Tomas Jurco, who had off-season back surgery, skated after practice. The defense pairs: Danny DeKeyser-Mike Green Brendan Smith-Xavier Ouellet Jonathan Ericsson- Alexey Marchenko Ryan Sproul (healthy scratch). Niklas Kronwall did not skate. In goal: Jimmy Howard (starting)" Second line is pretty ugly. Either AA should switch with Sheahan or at least switch Tatar and Abby to give that 2nd line a finisher.

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Poor Nielsen. He's probably wishing he was back in Brooklyn. Those linemates aren't the most talented players he's ever seen. Do the Rangers really have a player named Clendening? It would be a crime if he and Glendenning don't get into a fight tonight. I remember Ericsson always playing on the right side. I guess now that's he's a goon like Eric Cairns or Enrico Ciccone, it doesn't really matter what side he plays on. We may even want to experiment with him as 4th line winger (traditional enforcer spot). Edited October 19, 2016 by GMRwings1983 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) I love how one of our top lines is full of skill, extremely high hockey IQ, and then our other top line has minimal skill and a centerman that's probably bashing his head over who he's given. Poor Nielsen, and we thought Datsyuk had lesser wingers the last 2-3 years. Blashill be like.. "Ima take it to another level of torturing my centerman" Here's to hoping Sheahan gets a hatrick tonight. Edited October 19, 2016 by kickazz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MabusIncarnate 5,344 Report post Posted October 19, 2016 I bet as soon as the Helm line cools off we see Nielsen centering Nyquist and Vanek. That wouldn't be a bad top 6 tbh, as long as Vanek keeps playing like he has. I'd like to see AA have his shot with that pair also. 2 kickazz and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Blashill seems to love fighting so.... it might actually work. Glad to see "the powerplay is our enforcer" isn't the motto anymore. Babcock, his predecessors and Kenny didn't seem to mind if people took liberties with our players. Come to think of it, Blashill didn't mind last year either. We didn't even have 10 fighting majors. What changed with Blashill in the offseason? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcaractac 3,963 Report post Posted October 19, 2016 How Sheahan gets to play in that spot so Miller can be in the lineup over Mantha is gross. 2 chaps80 and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get nervous whenever he faces a shot, but he's gotta start some games. Weird giving him the start after only three games that Mrazek played well in, especially the last one. Bit early for a rest. You'd think they'd want him to keep playing to stay focused and get in a groove. Ahh well. Hope Howard can get the W. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) 31 minutes ago, F.Michael said: Had a good chuckle while driving the boys to school this morning. NHL Network on Sirius radio talked about Shea Webber's new team in Montreal, and how well he's played thus far...They went on to say how well he's respected throughout the league...Bet they didn't ask what Hank, or Lilja thought of him. The only two differences between the Bertuzzi hit and Weber smashing Zetterberg's head was that Bertuzzi wasn't deliberately trying to break Moore's spine and Weber actually wanted to hurt Zetterberg's entire head and smash it (because why else would you grab someone's head with both hands and drive it into the boards with perfect planned coordination). Other difference is that Moore got unlucky and Zetterberg got very lucky. Funny how the results of hits can change people's perspective of players. Weber is well-respected, while Bertuzzi is still considered a criminal by some.
