"And Rhadim Zohorna pots his 4th goal of the game. The Wings coach appears to have his hands clasped pleading towards Sullivan to keep him off the ice"

Wings posted their lineup



That's our 3rd line, 2nd pairing, and potential ahl/echl? Tandem

"Zohorna ices the puck....and he's now on waivers"

This could be a blood bath IF we wanted it to be.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I bet the Penguins find a way to lose this one haha

 

[Empoleon8771]

I was hoping Carter would be out longer tbh

I'm still wondering how the Penguins are going to end up roster compliant.

I'm treating it as a mental fortitude check for our guys. Cossa has been talking since the prospect tourney that he wants to go pro. This might be the Wings' way of asking him if he's sure.

 

[reino]

Malkin and Zucker haven't been playing lot together when both fully healthy. Now they have chip on their shoulder I'm actually excited what they can do together.

Yes I have been assured that health is their one and only problem. We will see.

like 3 more weeks still for someone to go on LTIR. is the penguins after all

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I'm going to make the easiest prediction ever for this game: ZMR flies around wow-ing everyone to the tune of exactly 0 goals and a -2 rating as a line. But they'll have a bunch of weak-ass shots on goal and their special numbers will look special.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I was hoping Carter would be out longer tbh

All logic points to it being a low grade concussion that takes a week or 2 to get back from. It was a weak knock to the face that only caused problems because Carter didn't see it coming.

I just looked at the wings forwards...I have no idea who the vast majority are so I'm sure our guys will be given a run for their money tonight.

They have some solid draft talent in there. Including some top ten picks. But it's definitely their B- squad. And only that because it has their probable third line and second pairing playing.

Good thing the Penguins are well-known for stepping on the necks of less talented squads, right?

(This is the part where someone comes in and says "AkShUlLy!")

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Detroit regulars:
4 bottom-sixers
2 middle pairing defensemen

Pens regulars
9 forwards, including the entire top 6
Full strength D-corps
Both standard goalies

And it's at home.
We need to seriously consider scrapping the season if it's an L tonight.

 

[Peat]

Meh, one side will be a lot more motivated than the other, I doubt this'll be a neck stepping and I'd be worried if I were a Detroit fan if it was. Wouldn't even be surprised if it was an L.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

lol typical HF fan overreaction.

It's just preseason bro. None of this means anything bro. You can't make any predictions at all about any of this. It's all just theater... this isn't actually even happening, if you think about it. Why are you even here?

Wait... why am *I* even here? Why... why are any of us here?

There was a time when D2D injury meant possible weeks with lingering D2D issues.

Why is 'garbage a choice when it's close to the starting line ups...
made me laugh so of course.... I picked it.

Evidently it is. Or I'm just REALLY good at it.
