Red Wings on Ice for practice. Howard in starter’s net for tomorrow’s game in @ Senators
Kronwall not practicing, so it's safe to assume he won't play tomorrow.
lines the same: Tatar-Zetterberg-Nyquist Mantha-Larkin-Frk Abdelkader-Nielsen-Helm Booth-Sheahan-Glendening

I think he's better on one knee than Big E - how sad is that ? I expect Ottawa to be real tough tonight. The Rookies will be well served to keep there heads up and emotions under control (as best a Rookie can...). We don't need penalties .
LGRW !!!

We're even thru 2. Hard to get much of a feel for the game since the lines have been buggered with all the penalties. Manha - Frk - Larkin haven't been out much. I'd like o see them limit Z's time and give more to Manha et al.

Daley in the SO ?? I tell ya Mantha has yet to get our beloved coach confidence..
And Frk should have been in for NY...
Mantha should have been in the SO. Even though he floats a bit too much for my liking he is still one of our best shooter.
We fought hard and deserve to win. Well done !

Great game for Jimma ! Good as Pierre would say - lol. My Home Boy Frk again finds the twine. AA ? You're giving this guy a chance and he's making it good so far. How does 1.6 sound - two years ...

We still need AA in the line-up. Again Sheahan was totally useless even on the 4th line. Send Helm down the fourth line with Glen and Booth/Wit, play AA with Nielsen and Abby and we are a much better team. So far Blashill hasn't made too many mistake. If he finally understand that Sheahan is useless and scratch him then i could say that he's finally becoming a coach.

id love to see Larks line a bit more on the ice..but Mantha isnt helping his cause. I saw him floating a bit too much tonight. Don't wait till you see the press box before you wake up dear Anthony.

I thought we looked pretty good again tonight. Howard was REALLY good again and could have has a shutout if Ericsson did it turn the puck over there. I honestly don’t know why the guy was on the ice in the closing minutes of a road game while we’re trying to get a win...shaking my head on that one. Not too sure I like the DeKeyser-Daley pairing. They both take risks at the same time and get caught in the offensive zone springing odd man rushes...Daley once while we were on the PK. Frk again, Frking A! I’ll take the road win and the 2points...we’re still undefeated Keep er going boys!

I thought we were in this game a lot more than game 1 vs Minnie. Penalties really hindered us from any kind of momentum for most of the game (although same might be said for Ottawa). We never really enjoyed any sustained pushes, and I don't think any line really stood out.
I thought Daley looked good out there. Mantha not very noticeable, but he's young and he's going to have to learn how to be relevant every night. 22 minutes for Zee. Would have liked to see Mantha Dylan and Frk out a little more, but they have to earn Blash's trust and show they can play in both ends.
I keep waiting for Nielsen to earn his pay grade - I want the guy to succeed - but haven't really seen but a few moments of what i thought we could expect from him.
Re Ericsson - I starting to get to the point where I say "anyone but Ericsson" at almost any point in the game - let alone the last few minutes of a tied or close game. At least I don't recall seeing him in any 5 on 3 SH time - so we got that going for us.
Jensen I thought had a pretty good game - seems to be always wanting to push with the puck.
Overall - a satisfying performance - it's sooo much easier to be a fan when expectations are low. 3 more road games to weather - one against my past vote for a coach for this team - Gerard Gallant. 2 of 3 would be great !!!
Peace from the East

FANTASTIC start to the season 4/4 points! IF,IF,IF,IF Howard continues to play like this they have a shot at the playoffs .But the age old conundrum is do we want to make the playoffs or the lottery? Used to think if you made the playoffs and got hot you could hoist the Cup. Is that true of THIS team??? Am such a conflicted Wings supporter. Still don't know if I want them to win or lose. Thanks to the fucking Cap!

Dick I'd play Howard in Dallas. He's playing great, making it look effortless plus we have 2 days before we play again. He seems focused, relaxed and has a great attitude. I'd let Mrazek ride the pines watch...maybe it will push him to fight for the number #1. If Howard remains hot ride him until he needs a rest or have a back to back games

of course Howard has to be in goal tuesday...
Why bother with the lottery ? When we are in we lose !! like last year we ended up picking later than we were suppose to. Luck is never on the Wings side. NJ were the Lucky one this year.
I take games one by one, enjoy each an everyone of them.. At the end if we are looking good and close to make the playoffs then we should all go for it. Its a long season afterall.
