Better off playing a game on PS4. I was so disappointed he was not bought out this off season. Wings are 2-0-0 But you enjoy your ps4 3 puckbags, krsmith17 and Hey man nice shot! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted October 8, 2017 I'm happy for Jimmy, I think that Blash overplayed the top line somewhat, can't do that all year all they'll be burnt out by Xmas. Still 2W next to the Wings we'll settle for that. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still 2W next to the Wings we'll settle for that. I agree about the top line. They had some good zone time, but I thought they looked out-of-sorts. Weren't on their A game. Zetterberg was forcing low-percentage passes all night long and he was half a step too slow at several key points in the game. Now, to be fair, Larkin made a few egregious mistakes, each of which almost resulted in a Sens goal. He played a really good game overall, but he could've easily been the scapegoat tonight. He's still getting used to being a centerman in this league. Edited October 8, 2017 by Dabura 1 PavelValerievichDatsyuk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted October 8, 2017 Just now, Euro_Twins said: I'd say he's doing a pretty good job overall at it too. Mistakes will happen as long as he learns from them its ok Totally agree. Just saying, re: Blashill playing the top line a bit too much, I can understand why he doesn't have total confidence in Larkin's line, especially in a tight game like this one.

Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Euro_Twins said: Larkin still got 21 minutes Yep. Just saying: I'd like to see even more of him, but I get why Blashill might hesitate to give his line even more minutes. To be clear: I'm not trying to bag on him at all. Like I said earlier in the thread, I think he's looked very good overall. He's playing like he has something to prove and he's clearly trying to round out his game. And he's putting up points. I'm all aboard the Larkin train. Edited October 8, 2017 by Dabura Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neomaxizoomdweebie 3,083 Report post Posted October 8, 2017 Wings are not a contender for the rest of Ericssons contract. Would rather pay 4.2 for the next 3 yrs than get hit with a 2.8 mil cap hit for the next 6 yrs when the Wings might actually need that space to resign core players or bring in new players when they are a competitor again. Makes no sense to buy him out. Even sending him down and taking the bigger cap hit for 3 yrs is a better option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935 Report post Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) It was all about Jimmy tonight! Other observations: I think we're playing better team defence this year. WItkowski must be a good face puncher because the only times he's been noticable is missing coverage or being slow. Just checked: Apparently he only played 4:36. Think we could give that spot to someone else if we had some cap space. Edited October 9, 2017 by PavelValerievichDatsyuk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
