2/3 GDT - Red Wings vs New York Islanders - 7:30 PM EST

[MabusIncarnate 5,344]

LW	C	RW
Gustav Nyquist	Henrik Zetterberg	Anthony Mantha
Tomas Tatar	Frans Nielsen	Dylan Larkin
Andreas Athanasiou	Darren Helm	Thomas Vanek
Luke Glendening	Riley Sheahan	Justin Abdelkader

Defensive Pairings
Dan DeKeyser	Mike Green
Jonathan Ericsson	Xavier Ouellet
Niklas Kronwall	Nick Jensen

 

 
Petr Mrazek

AA and Vanek down to the 3rd line, Sheahan is centering the first PP unit!

Is it National "troll the fans" day? 

Mrazek in net, lines look rough, not entirely hopeful for this one. Maybe we get lucky and E puts in a goal or two off his shin or skate for us against their goalie for once.

Woohoo LGW!! Can't wait to see how this one pans out.

Lose this one and we are done.. 

[Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453]

I don't think I've ever been this disillusioned when it comes to the Wings. Completely let down these days.

[wingfan1991 221]

I'm going to not watch the game .. at least try not cause they are killing me. I'm hoping this is the game "Petr "3" gives up 1! Come on, let's start winning games against these horrible teams!! We are so much better then more then half of the teams upfront.. lets play like it!

Once fired from Detroit Red Wings organization, Blash should consider getting a research assistant position with Federal Reserve Research Center. The way he juggles the numbers can make any researcher there proud.

Lose and sell! Come Holland stop stalling and start selling!

[PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935]

I'm actually fine with those lines (except the PP madness). The aspect not mentioned is that Sheahan is finally demoted to the 4th line. I'm fine with AA and Vanek on the 3rd because it could capitalize on the Vanek-Helm chemistry from earliy in the season. Also they cooled off with Nielson and it moves Larkin up to the 2nd line and it'd be good to get him going again.

I'll watch

I'll watch it. I'll go down with the ship.

This would be a good time to try to bribe Tavares over for the end of next year. A couple mill under the table, a nice house for the mom's, ya know.

 

[frankgrimes 1,836]

I'll be shocked if Tavares re-signs with the NYI...That franchise has been a joke for too many years, and even the Wings have a brighter future.

Will be interesting to see. Guy would have tons of options if he decides to test UFA

Lol Sheahan centering the first PP unit.

Anyone know where Blashill lives? Maybe we can all go poop on his lawn.

That'll teach him a lesson for being idiotic. 

[NerveDamage 4,176]

let's see how many craaaazy lineups Blash has for tonight, watchout for that 4th line taking the opening draw.

Excited to see Smith back, sad to see Marchenko waived today, I wish they'd give Ericsson a little bench time instead

LGRW!!!

0-goal Sheahan is on the first PP and you have your answer as to why we have the worst power play in the league - Jeff Blashill 

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

GO PETR!!!  You got this!!

GO WINGS!  Score some damn goals in THEIR net!

I'm looking at YOU 52!!!!

This is how I feel. I still watch every game. The Wings have given me a lot of good years, going down with the ship. This is literally the first game I've ever felt so disheartened though.

[PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935]

Good start here.

[HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878]

Look pretty good. 

Okay...

Good thing Saint Cloud state and North Dakota start in less then an hour. Don't have to watch this s*** for more then a period. 

[NerveDamage 4,176]

ohhh geeeezzzz....

[shocky2002 36]

Islanders are a trash team. No doubt in my mind they'll be competing with us at the end of the year for a higher lottery position. Gotta lose this one

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

C'mon boys let's tie this up!

[LeftWinger 4,963]

Sell, Sell, sell!

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Mrazek's goaltending on that play reminded me of playing old hockey video games on the easiest difficulty.  

[PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935]

Yeah, badly played by Mrazek.

[barabbas16 499]

Was this picked up by NHLN or something?  I'm getting blacked out.
