Possible lines
via #RedWings in practice:
Abdelkader-Larkin-Nyquist
Vanek-Nielsen-Mantha
Helm-Glendening-Athanasiou
Ehn-de la Rose-Frk
DeKeyser-Jensen
Kronwall-Green
Ericsson-Cholowski

We have a 3 game winning streak going but we're still 28th place so in th3 lottery mix.

Possible lines - I have no comment except one of our starting forward is on track for a 20 point season. No typo - points, not goals. Let's see, AA is on pace for a 30 goal season with about the same ice time.

Some games you play poorly and somehow the shots go in and you win. We've seen that happen a few times this year. At other times- like tonight- you can play decent, have the opportunities, miss open net shots and lose. I guess it all evens out in the end. Vanek should have had a hat trick tonight. he had some great looks and chances. That open net shot that he somehow missed in the third period was a ball buster. Well, we're one loss closer to a high draft pick. Seeing Rasmussen return after his injury and have a good night and some chances was very good to see. Also Cholowski played lots of minutes- even though the winning goal went in off his stick/glove. Overall it was a good night for the kids.

Only saw a part of the game but watched the highlights.
This goes down as another good loss. Wings need to be in games but they don't want to have a year end winning streak and end up in 9th.
A solid draft year is important to this franchise and that means getting a top 5 pick or better.
Rasmussen - he looks like he could be a force around the net. His skill level needs to pick up but this is his first full year and he's starting to get some confidence. Nice to see.

It's so much fun to listen to Mickey at the end of the game. His hockey insight is off the charts.

some notes…
Ras had more steam tonight, look faster. Nice to see him be quick in front of the net.
For some Fleury is a washed up goalie...didnt look like one tonight, he look sharp and was the better of the two goalies tonight.
Howard gave up on a goal, the empty netter i think it was the second LV goal, yes chances were slim that he could have made it back in his net on time, but HE HAD to try…but gave up on it.
The 4th goal..yeah it touch the hair of one glove in front of Howard, but when it happens to try to grab the puck, put your whole body in front, gives you a better chance to make the save. It was a bad goal, even it slighty changed direction.
We played a good one again, but details were the difference, a bad chance here in there, a bad goal, some chances missed, specially Vanek who could have scored 3 ..pass when he should have been shooting..etc…
Typical to this whole season, our goalie plays well butt on key moment he fails. We miss countless good chacnes but the opponents never miss...etc...
oh well...its life !

When the two are yak yaking about anything but the game i find them to be the worst hockey duo in the NHL. Sometimes Daniels is so boring… Wake up Daniels...yes we are not cup worthy but you have a job to do..describe the game with enthusiam.. |

It's so much fun to listen to Mickey at the end of the game. His hockey insight is off the charts. Like Micks insights too. However when he says Howard ..."couldn't do anything about the goals"...he is simply being a homer not wanting to upset Howard/Howards friends and family. Think Daniels is a very good announcer. He makes the games seem more exciting than they actually are! Grew up listening to the late great Dan Kelly of the St Louis Blues. Didn't miss a game for years. He was the master of making games exciting! Radio trumps TV every time. Happy to see the Wings pointless last night:) BTW...Karlssons tic tac goal was a thing of beauty. Nice pass by Stastny! LGWINGS DRAFT!!! |

About Mantha now…
Anyone seen him recently ? oh he is there all right..but just barely!
Early this season i was mad at him, watching him being so sloppy at time made me want to see him gone. But now he is more intense…
Is he ?
Looking at him in recent games where he looks intense but not overly intense i think he is still a disappointment. Should we expect more out of him ? i think we do.
When he pushes hard he looks like a superstar, but it doesn't happen enough. He needs to play harder, just like Gus who Always play the same type of game but Gus doesn't have the skills set of Mantha.

I've like Mantha more since the break. Has more jump. He just needs to up the intensity level. Kinda like the Mule. Get fucking angry out there. Throw yer body around. Fuck 'em christ, stick 'em pop 'em. I'm hoping he gets to the point we call him Mad Man Mantha. LOL

Seven of them today 13  I don't mind day games. Just don't like it when they have one game Friday night (CAR/NYR) and 14 games today. Don't like playing showdowns(one game) on Draft Kings. Loaded up with four Sabres today! LGWINGSDRAFT!!! |
