GDT: Game 1: Wings @ preds 8:00 pm et (FSD)

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

Who was it that ran over Flip before their disallowed goal? Who dumped Daley?

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Glendening lead F in ice time

Because of course he is.

Yea, gtd, decision was no

ah ok. Have they said what the injury is or are we already playing the stupid "lower body injury" game?

Forsberg got Daley, I think it was Ekholm on Fil.

Howard histrically starts seasons well and IIRC Bernier historically ends seasons well, boys, we're riding that 1st line and Jekyll and Hyde goaltending to the playoffs


E: not enough in the world

I was thinking the exact same thing about Howard when I saw that save. He's a beats for like the first 41 games then gets injured or something like that and never returns to form

It is lower body from when he crashed into the boards against the Islanders according to him this morning.

 

[Hen Kolland]

i think Forsberg was the one who ran Daley into the boards. Not positive though

Bertuzzi really should have an assist on the Mantha goal, he spiked that puck across the rink away from Josi. He would easily have one with a home scorer, curious if that will be adjusted.

The first line has been amazing. The rest of the lines are barely NHL players. But, damn that first line looks great so far.

If AA is in we have 2 lines

NHL.com says he has the assist

When he is going, his line also gets throttled at times when he cannot get out and hit people in transition. We were escaping the zone a little better in that first period. We will see, I think Nashville stepped up their forecheck a little more towards the end and with the long change I am guessing they bring it harder. But if we can get out of the zone better AA is a guy that will massively benefit. Still I think Glendening is going to have to protect AA and Hirose for that line to really work.

 

[RedMenace]

If AA is in we have 2 lines

If he's playing wing, we need a better 2C. If he's playing center, Flip better be on his wing to cover for him.

Murph with a "ne-METH" when referring to Nemeth... do we need to stage an intervention, buddy?

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Good, I agree with that. Was just responding to the unassisted listed there.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

I don't think Flip or Nielsen have the speed or heaviness in their game to cover for him. I think it has to be Glendening which is going to be a huge debate, but I understand the reasoning., he also protects them as our best draw guy from defending a bunch.

Honestly, I don't think there's a good answer currently on the roster. LGD is tenacious and fast enough, but he needs to be on a shutdown line. I think Flip is better suited to that job as it stands, though neither is ideal.

 

[raymond23]

Glenny is one of our best players all over the ice. Constantly making good, simple plays. I think you need that in the middle of the ice if AA and Hirose are on the wings.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Alright boys, handle the push.

 

[TheRatPoisoner]

Larkin and Mantha are big time players. Larkin in particular has taken that step up, but Mantha looks like he is about to. They are front-line players on a lot of teams, not just ours because they have a ton of talent. Larkin is a legit #1C at this point and Anthony Mantha sure looks like a legit 1st line winger since last March. He has to keep it up, but Larkin takes another step he is a Superstar at this point and I am done doubting what he will do next. Guy has tremendous drive.

Yeah there's definitely still a good chance they'll keep just getting better. Have they reached that superstar (which is difficult to define what that actually means, admittedly) status yet? Not sure. They definitely don't get the respect they deserve though. Saw an NHL ranking of the top 20 centres in the league recently and Larkin wasn't on the list, which is ridiculous.

If we only had more Glendenings...
