kipwinger 8,576 Report post Posted October 16, 2023 Pretty awesome to be making GDTs for a Red Wings season I'm actually excited about. This will be a fun game. Columbus is a very very beatable team but they've got enough individual skill to really test our defensive systems if we aren't sharp. Plus it's a first look at Fantilli, who somehow fell to 3rd overall in a draft that still makes no sense to me. I'll update with the lineup when it's posted. LGW!! 2 1 Dabura, town123 and Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cool wind felt good under the brim of his fedora. "I HATE DIC PICS" he thought. Don't Stop Believing reverberated the entire stadium, making it pulsate even as the $9 coffee circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of phalic photographs on his players cell phones. "As a coach you can do anything" he said to himself, out loud.

The 91 of Ryans 3,019 Report post Posted October 16, 2023 Call me crazy but beating a sleepy CBJ team on the road on a Monday might be a bigger test for this team than winning a jacked-up Saturday night home opener against a regressing TB team. THIS is the type of game where I'm waiting to see if the Wings are focused and detailed enough to win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bIueadams 776 Report post Posted October 16, 2023 Wings send down ZAR and callup Czar. Giving the Wings 10 Americans on the roster. Meanwhile only 1 swede is on the roster, and hes not even really swedish ha ha feels good man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THIS is the type of game where I'm waiting to see if the Wings are focused and detailed enough to win. Agreed. This has "trap game" written all over it. It's a game the Wings probably expect to win, but the BJs have a ton of talent at all positions and we're going to have to stay focused and come into the game ready to play against some really good players. This is the type of game you want to see your role guys step up and lead the way. I'm looking for a big game from Walman, Ras, Compher, Copp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are kind of NJ lite, so it will be interesting to see how our D has hopefully adjusted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonas Mahonas 1,872 Report post Posted October 17, 2023 Larks. We're gonna win the cup as of now. Copp. Dynasty now. It's not a slash on the arm unless you're the one getting slashed. And if that's on Crosby or McJesus, it's called every time. So Larkin getting 1 called out of 5 isn't like a miracle or something. 1 Yszerwings reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
