little to look forward to this game

While very hard to say, I have fully embraced the suck and have no interest in the Wings winning this game. I do, however, want them to play well in defeat.

Sometimes I feel the same, but it's been often that high draft picks not working out , just look at Buffalo or our 2018 draft

I'd rather have Chiarot on the second pairing than either of Holl or Petry. Chiarot out just makes us even worse, unfortunately.

But Edvinsson back in -- that's probably what you meant here. I'll agree with that sentiment for sure.

This is the one game of the year my family will go to, and the main reason I wanted to go was to see the new guys -- Ed mostly, but also Kasper. I wouldn't mind if we bumped that 4th line up to 2nd and pushed the other two lines down. Maybe give them Rasmussen instead of Veleno too.

Another game day? Someone pour me a double shot of whiskey. Oh my, good lord. Nah, just kidding, good luck Wings.

Sure, but the stats still say it is our best chance for improving offensive talent in the system.

It's good to see Ed is alright and back in for tonight hopefully. Here's the 2 scenarios that will happen. We score 1st and sit on the lead and then allow them to do what they want until they score and we lose or they score 1st and then proceed to run around like chickens with head cut off trying to play catchup and lose. Will the goaltending show up? I hope

 

[schuelma24]

I see no realistic way we win tonight

i think any one of the top 4 could step in and make an impact as early as next year. imagine if we had...

larkin
hagens/misa
kasper/danielson

for our center group. or...

raymond
martone
brandsegg-nygard

as our right wingers. or...

schaefer - seider
edvinsson - sandin-pellikka

as our top 4 for the next 10 years. it could take a year for things to come together, which could mean another top 10 pick. after that, things look very exciting

Holl on the top pair baby!

All you Benny haters will repent, you haven't seen nothing yet!

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Edvinsson + Chiarot for Kreider incoming

[SCD]

It would be nice to see Johansson play a few consecutive games to see if he can figure it out. It is time to embrace the idea this team is not competitive and focus on improving the young players.

lidstrom, zetterberg, datsyuk and kronwall could hold a press conference before puck drop to say that they've been training in secret this whole time and are in better shape and playing better hockey than they did in their primes

zetterberg - datsyuk - raymond
debrincat - larkin - kane
rasmussen - kasper - berggren
copp - compher - tarasenko
