Let’s be clear. I hate the Wings. I have a bunch of friends who are Jackets fans, but second to the Wings. I hate that. I hate their “Hockeytown” smugness. Their Datsyuk-inspired entitled attitude. I hate the logo. I hate that their fans think that somehow O6/Gordie Howe means they deserve special reverence today. I don’t know if there is a team in all of pro sports that I hate more than the Wings, and that’s saying something because I am a hater.

The “Hockey Town” has not made play offs since 2016, let’s keep that streak going
 
You seem overly bothered by this. Jenner traveled with the team before he was ready to play as well. It seems Waddell and HCDE like to get the injured players who are near-ready to come back a chance to travel with the team.

I think he is referring to Tarasov starting.

Not that. Tarasov in net

Let's try this again. I actually don't have a big issue with this. Tarasov played well in his last start (I know it was a month ago) but Elvis was slow getting up from a play in the Dallas game (was worried he was hurt) and maybe HCDE wants to give him an extra couple days to be ready for the bigger game in Columbus. I know Elvis claims he always wants to have the net but we have seen from past experience that he wears down.

As a Sharks fan since day 1, I really disliked the Wings long before I moved here. We were well trained.

To this day my favorite hockey memory is the Sharks massive upset over the Wings back in 93-94.

If we review the latest GDTs, there wasn’t many compliments towards Elvis, so starting Tarasov shouldn’t be too big of a deal ?

Besides Tarasov was great in 3 out of 4 of his last starts
 
It's unfortunate it has been a while since Tarasov's last start with the break and all, but the Jackets are going to have to rely on their backup some while they try to stay in it. He is obviously going to get games to keep from giving too big of a load to Elvis.

The offense will just have to keep their feet on the pedal and keep up the pace. There will be a couple bumps here and there, but they have responded all year to adversity, so I have some confidence that they should be fine.

If we review recent game day threads, there are always a couple of people who blame the goalie for everything.

I didn't get to see the last game. It sounds like Elvis didn't have a great night but we just came off of 2 weeks off and a 4 point swing over these 2 games would put us in WC1. It is curious to see Tarasov get in right now. I'd personally lean towards getting him in Next Tuesday but I'm not in charge.

It sounds like Cam Talbot is playing for the Wings tonight. Are they planning to start Lyon for the outdoor game or are they going to trust Talbot for both games?

Just seems like curious goalie management since the break since starting Tarasov would have made the most sense against a WC opponent.
