Bittersweet day honestly. Hopefully we get the W, but it's so sad that this is it for the Joe. You can't quite beat the intensity and pure noise level of this place. Well that and the fact the sight lines are all really amazing since all the suites and what not are up top

Please just win the last game at the Joe! Go Wings go!

 

[ap3x]

Hope they come out flying tonight.

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

Time to make the backup look like a Vezina winner.

 

[abparry87]

When do you think it would be a good idea to rotate Sporul in? I thought maybe this game as our defense can't really get any worse then it has been the last 2 games...

How does Blash think Nielsen is a 1st line center while Vanek is a 3rd line player?

I dont think he does. I think he looks at is as 3 scoring lines and a checking line plus AA. We have 3 2nd lines

So then why won't he put Vanek with Nielsen? Isles had and had lot of success.

Ideally they will tinker until they have 3 working lines.

Vanek has been doing well with Helm//Nyquist. So that will stay together i think.

I know it is only game 3, but this is a huge game and we need to have it. Hope the last opening night in the JLA goes well.

Go Wings!

Ottawa is not a good defensive team. So i would love to see several goals from our team today!!

Oh, i guess it would be nice to WIN too.... we haven't done that yet!

The Joe is a dump. Good riddance.

 

[chances14]

[Ezekial]

Poor Sproul, didn't get a single cheer.

 

[chances14]

i am honestly shocked fsd showed all they player intros without going to a commercial break

 

[FabricDetails]

Did Ericsson get booed or was that my own mind?

I heard a lot more cheering than booing. In fact, I couldn't even make out the booing.

 

[FabricDetails]

The Joe is a dump. Good riddance.

I agree with both sentiments.

it was in my mind as well.

 

[juiceman]

I thought they were supposed to have the Farewell to the Joe patch on the jerseys.
