No Cleary, Abby on the 4th line, Quincey on the 3rd pairing. Things are looking better boys

I like it.

I wish Weiss was healthy though. Helm is really no 2C.

Would be even better with Quincey next to Cleary in the press box.

 

[Henkka]

Would be even better with Quincey next to Cleary in the press box.

Maybe that's the next move when Smith gets healthy.

 

[SoupNazi]

Maybe that's the next move when Smith gets healthy.

We can only hope.

 

[Dat Syuks for you]

Those d-pairs just look AWFUL. We should just go for broke and play Ouellet and Kindl together and hope that the Quincey- Lashoff pair never touch the ice.

 

[detredWINgs]

Wait, Franzen is back but we're still playing Helm as the 2C? And since Helm has been in the top 6, Cleary has been on the 4th line and now might be even a healthy scratch?

This is creepy. Its like Babcock dumped Cleary and now Helm is the recipient of Babs' affections.

At least Helm can skate fast. He might have no hands, but he has speed.

Helm is a favorite of mine, Cleary sucks, and Franzen is in the doghouse, but I'd still rather see Franzen center the 2nd line than Helm without question.

 

[theYman]

Maybe that's the next move when Smith gets healthy.

At this point I'll take Smith over Quincey. God anybody in Grand Rapids has to be better.

 

[KJoe88]

Still baffled by no Cleary...

I hope a better Wings team shows up this time. LGRW

 

[JPE123]

Daniel needs a rest. He's been carrying a heavy load

 

[sully6one]

I liked spurts of Helm last game in the 2nd line role. He's an amazing forechecker and will get the puck on net or to Franzen or Alfredsson. This actually could be an amazing line. I doubt Helm is ever a 60 point guy, but I see him getting 40-50 regularly with PK time maybe PP time also. Pair him with actual top 6 wingers. 40-50 point center, 50-60 point wingers. Works for me.

 

[Chance on Chance]

Would be even better with Quincey next to Cleary in the press box.

Baby steps

I'll say 4-2 wings Tatar, Kronwall, Zed and Miller and big buff and little for the jets

 

[Heaton]

Helm is a favorite of mine, Cleary sucks, and Franzen is in the doghouse, but I'd still rather see Franzen center the 2nd line than Helm without question.

I don't trust Franzen at center right now, too much responsibility and we don't know where he is at health wise.

 

[petesrw]

I think Franzen with Helm is a fantastic idea. If he skates next to someone who basically only relies on his speed and hussle, it will kick start Franzen to maybe go a little more balls to the wall.

Perhaps you even throw Tatar with them once everyone is healthy. Tatar sort of plays with energy of Helm, while also looking like Franzen when Franzen decides the puck belongs in the net.

 

[Frk It]

Still baffled by no Cleary...

Report said line-ups are not confirmed yet....

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[KJoe88]

Why...

One time let my optimism be!

That would be an improvment.

I think that everyone on the wings regret the Cleary signing now. Poor Cleary, he have done so much for this club, but now he is just dead weight. But this is all Hollands fault, a kind of missmangement I really didnt thought we would see in DRW.

 

[odin1981]

We gotta be due for a w now. I'll be positive and say 3-1 wings.

 

[LeighDx59]

We gotta be due for a w now. I'll be positive and say 3-1 wings.

I gotta believe we'll win too, the pattern so far this season indicates that we got the next three but seriously we definately need this win.

 

[Henkka]

Last time Wings have had this long winningless streak (5 games) at home was 1996-97.

What horrible ending that season had.

 

[JPE123]

Let's Go Red Wings. Let's not drop below .500

You cannot in sobriety even begin to compare our current roster with the roster we had in 96-97.
