Hey! You stole my tweet

 

[Sami]

**** yes

 

[NyquistIsMyGod*]

YESS!! Too bad it's at the expense of Jurco though.

 

[Tatar Shots]

Congragulations Pulkkinen. Now lets see that Holy Slapper on the PP

 

[Frk It]

Pucks gong to go back to the point on the PP. Pulkkinen is going to take 2 steps forward and hit a 100 mph slapper and score. Babcocks jaw is going to drop, and his prayers for the PP will be answered.

He'll stay on the team and in 2 weeks well get a quote" I didn't know Pulkkinen was this good, now I do"

"There's no one who's a bigger fan of Teemu Pulkkinen than Mike Babcock."

On a serious note, Blake Comeau has just joined Jared Cowen and Radko Gudas as members of the "Players I Wish Bertuzzi would fight." list.

 

[Jusek]

Pulkkinen will play his first NHL game and of course i will miss it!

"There is no bigger fan of Teemu Pulkkinen than Mike Babcock."

Hahaha. I like what you did there.

"His slapper is real gud."

Can't wait for him to try to pronounce his name.

Hopefully he steals the show and management is convinced to keep him up full time if/when Jurco returns. We desperately need 3 scoring lines. Alfie is useless playing with a couple of 4th liners and Franzen has looked good at center when called upon.

 

[Detroit Sports*]

How badly is Jurco hurt?

 

[Hendricks433]

Wish someone else was hurt instead.

 

[NyquistIsMyGod*]

How badly is Jurco hurt?

According to Jurco, day-to-day.

 

[The Zermanator]

I think we need to spread some talent to the bottom 6 given the last two games. May not be ideal but Franzen needs to play centre until some reinforcements come back.

Nyquist-Franzen-Alfredsson
Abdelkader-Legwand-Pulkkinen
Tatar-Sheahan-Bertuzzi
Miller-Emmerton-Glendening

Can't believe I'm saying this, but we actually need Weiss. And depending on how Pulkkinen does, I may be in favour of sending Jurco down when he's healthy.

Kids are definitely getting a look this season. Nice to finally see.

I don't like the idea defensively of Sheahan with Bertuzzi and Tatar. Jurco's defensive game isn't great, not average yet, but it's quite a bit better than those two.

Agree with moving Franzen to center and adjusting the lines, but don't agree with the bolded. If Pulkkinen does well, then we need both Pulkkinen and Jurco on the roster.

 

[Crymson]

Praise the hockey lord. Hopefully he'll see PP time on the point as well.

 

[Jurco]

sucks that it had to happen due to an injury to me though

Why are you referring to yourself in the third person???

 

[SoupNazi]

Glad to see this.

Sucks that Jurco is injured though.

 

[Winger98]

Happy to see him up, not happy to see Jurco out.

fixed.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Lost around here especially on the main board threads where some are dancing on our grave, the transition period has been accelerated a lot this year. Long-term this could be one of the better things that happened to the Wings even if it has been painful as hell to watch on a lot of nights.

Excited to watch Pulks in the NHL. Hopefully he can be one of the few that doesn't suck as soon as we get to the third period.

I think we need to shake up more then just the forward lines. I'm not saying this was the reason for scoring 7 goals and getting the win but I said earlier they need to swap out Kindl for Lashoff. The reason I say this is if Kindl can find his game he brings more then Lashoff would to the table.
