Let's Go Red Wings Detroit Red Wings 3 the Ottawa Senators 2 Need to play a much better all around game tonight.

 

[Wood Stick]

Frans is the defensive line I suppose.

 

[Vladdy84]

So you can't watch Wings game on Fox Sports Go if you have a Comcast account? Comcast continues to be the worst.

 

[PelagicJoe]

At least Blashill is switching lines around here and there since whatever he did in Florida obviously does not work. I wouldn't mind seeing Mantha in Miller's place.

He switched every line around. He overdoes it to the point where guys can't find chemistry.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Hey folks, heads-up: looks like Hammond will be getting his first start of the season in the visitor's net. Happy home opener!

 

[Ezekial]

He switched every line around. He overdoes it to the point where guys can't find chemistry.

Line 3 remains unchanged.

 

[odin1981]

Well at least we are playing a team bad enough that we should have a chance at a W.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

It would be great if the Wings won their last season opener at the Joe.

 

[InGusWeTrust]

the 3rd line has been our only efficient line.

I'd like to bring back the 8-40-71 line.

Have not been overly impressed with Larkin down the middle. He is more of a threat on the W if you ask me. JMHO

If you want him to be a centre long term you need to give him more than 2 games to adjust to the position at the NHL level.

 

[Frk It]

I'd like to get Tatar going. Who could we play him with that might get him going?

 

[Wood Stick]

I'd like to get Tatar going. Who could we play him with that might get him going?

He looked awesome with AA and Andersson. Maybe put Sheahan where Andy was.. Tatar's most dominant runs have been with Sheahan/Jurco and Datsyuk/Helm. Different lines for sure. I think a lot of it is him being hot.

I feel like in the past we have dropped him to the 3rd line, and he feasts on the easier match ups, and then we move him back up after he gets going. Maybe that's worth a shot.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I'd like to get Tatar going. Who could we play him with that might get him going?

Same here he really hasn't looked all that good the past 2 games with Tampa and Florida we really need to get Tats motivated here.

 

[Kranix]

Is Anathasiou on the verge of breaking out?

Long term he needs to develop as a center.

 

[Wood Stick]

Same here he really hasn't looked all that good the past 2 games with Tampa and Florida we really need to get Tats motivated here.

I like him with Frans. Maybe Tatar-Frans-Sheahan..

Tatar-Nielsen-Sheahan
Zetterberg-Larkin-Abdelkader
Vanek-Helm-Nyquist
Miller-Glendening-AA

 

[Vladdy84]

I like him with Frans. Maybe Tatar-Frans-Sheahan..

Tatar-Nielsen-Sheahan
Zetterberg-Larkin-Abdelkader
Vanek-Helm-Nyquist
Miller-Glendening-AA

I like these lines

I'd rather have AA playing 3C and Helm on 4th line wing though

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I like him with Frans. Maybe Tatar-Frans-Sheahan..

Tatar-Nielsen-Sheahan
Zetterberg-Larkin-Abdelkader
Vanek-Helm-Nyquist
Miller-Glendening-AA

Yeah switch AA and Helm and those would be pretty nice looking lines here.

 

[Syckle78]

I prefer AA at 3rd line wing. Just let him shoot himself out of a cannon and exploit the other teams weaker defensemen.

 

[InGusWeTrust]

If you want him to be a centre long term you need to give him more than 2 games to adjust to the position at the NHL level.

You're correct. But I think worst come to worst you can just make the line 8-71-40. I liked that lines chemistry. Also it puts someone on that line if Larkin is kicked out of the circle...Z can still come in and take the faceoff.

 

[FireBird71]

Heading down now...excited and hopefully get a better result than over the weekend

 

[jolly roger]

Is Anathasiou on the verge of breaking out?

Absolutely!
