Good!
LETS GO!!! TURNPIKE BABY!
Everybody sucks , take family out forget this shit
After 1 game Simon is down to the 3rd line. I’d trade him in a package if the coaching staff doesn’t see him getting better. Eklund, Schaefer and Emil were the only players I noticed. Sorokin played great. Schenn had a couple of big hits. We should have killed the leafs with physicality alone.
Deboer is doing it right with Duke. I would have waited another game or so but he’s trying to bring up his confidence and his numbers. We are selling this season so we need our vets to do better than usual.
When you have chemistry with players I don't know why the tinkering. The pairings I agree with are Heineman and Horvat, Holmstrom and Pageau and Ritchie and Schenn. Keep them together. I know the higher expectations but Holmstrom is a documented slow starter. I know everyone is talking about the lack of scoring but if you listened to DeBoer's press conference today, going into the Toronto game he was focused on defense mentioning the preseason and giving up too many goals. I have zero confidence in Duclair, fool me once, after his hat trick last season and then he disappeared again.
I hope Duke getting moved into the top six is us trying to sell him to other teams.
Hi Mitch, happy Friday night. I see that Larkin was booed by the home fans. He has the same 4 years left as Barzy. Do you think we can swap them and give the Wings the difference in cash?
Please let me know.
If this team cant score we are in trouble. I would put ecklund hienamen and barzal on the same line. We also need to trade pelech and cizikas along with pageau.
