Wings in practice:
Helm-Larkin-Nyquist
Bertuzzi-Nielsen-Athanasiou
Rasmussen-Glendening-Abdelkader
Vanek-Ehn-Mantha
Frk extra
Kronwall-Hronek
Cholowski-Daley
Sulak-Jensen
Hicketts-Witkowski
Alo Wings claimed LW Jacob De La Rose off waivers today from #Canadiens. 6-3, 216, second round pick in 2013 (34th overall). 8 goals, 19, assists, 51 PM in 119 NHL games. No points in 12 playoff games.
Blashill said Daley will return tomorrow. DeKeyser saw hand specialist and doesn’t need surgery. Out at least next two games. Ericsson (upper body injury) still out. Green will start skating with team on trip, still at least couple weeks away.

What the hell is with the lines? We need one of those lotto type things so Blashill can put players numbers on ping pong balls to randomly select his lines and D pairings  Nice to get Daley back. Tampa Bay owns us, we lost 11 in a row to them. I don't expect any points unless TB takes the nigh off. Maybe we can beat Florida on Saturday to get our first win of the season...or maybe not |

Hate to post it but this team has no chance to make the playoffs this season. The rest of the October schedule includes TB,FLA,CAR,WINN,DALL and CBUS. Florida? Maybe but still a big dog there. Was hoping they could make it through October but it simply won't happen. Lets hope the younger players gain experience and improve. NEED GREAT players somehow some way. The draft seems to be the only way. Not trying to be an old time Doom and Gloomer but this is reality. Few besides us even care about the Wings anymore. Winning is EVERYTHING! LGRW!!!

Reality is what it is Dick. I didn't anticipate making the playoffs this season again especially with Hank hanging them up and unable to play. The positives are the younger guys we have to get them some valuable NHL experience...it will helps us in the future when we can compete again.
I think the teams brass grossly underestimated the impact that the loss of Lidstron, Datsyuk and Zetterberg would have on our team.

I put almost all blame on Holland. Supported him for years but he is the reason the organization has ZERO great players now. Understand that the Wings are a victim of their previous success but that was a DECADE ago. Not looking at the Captain to save the organization but hope he gets the chance!

Helene St James tweeted that Sulak was sent to GR to make room for Daley. I thought he looked pretty good...can we send Kronwall down LOL

Don't think Blas is making any moves...especially to save his job. His fate is already determined and he knows it is my guess. This train left the tracks long ago:( |

This train left the tracks long ago:( Well let say that i Don't agree with that. Blashill's faith is not determined. If he looses the room he will looses his job, win or not. And when losing ar lot like it's going to be the case, the best way to maintain some sort of control in the room is to keep the vets happy. So.. Unless KH does Something drastic Blashill will play the vets till the end. Best example Raz sat and Abby stayed in the line-up. |

I thought we played well and gave good effort. Tampa underestimated us it seems. We had plenty of chances. If Florida loses tomorrow against the Caps then Saturday's game will be a showdown of the unwinniners, the sub-basement of the NHL should be good fun hahaha. I wouldn't mind not winning a game in the month of October if it adds another nail in Blashills coffin.  |

Good effort again but the othe goalie stole the show...as usual ! Howard played a good game but gave up one too many goal.
On the Stamkos goal it was usual Howard "can't move side to side" but then later in the game he made a great blocker save sliding to his right ! Why can't he do that all the time ??
We came close, had many good scoring chances, we worked hard...what else can we do ?
A bit discuraging riight now..

one of our better games and still "not good enough". Saturday's game will determine who is the worst in the show: Florida vs Detroit. Someone in a comments section over at WIIM asked the Qestion: Will Blashill get out of Florida with his job? Win or lose I think we are stuck with him for quite awhile.

win or lose is not the main question...the real question is ...do the players progress Under Blashill ?

funny a buddy of mine who is TB season ticket holder and I were talking before the game and I told him they will kill us if they give us due respect. I told him just do some East- West passing and shoot off the pass and you'll score in bunches....Stamkos was the only last night Anyone else irked to see Witkowski in while Sulak is sent to GR? Good effort again but the othe goalie stole the show...as usual ! Howard played a good game but gave up one too many goal. On the Stamkos goal it was usual Howard "can't move side to side" but then later in the game he made a great blocker save sliding to his right ! Why can't he do that all the time ??
