Hopefully the top 6 carries us, cause I am not feeling that 3rd line.

I don't mind it. I think Pookie may do well with Miller and Luke. Those guys could create some scoring chances for Pookie with their forecheck etc.

Bottom 6 is pretty meh whatever as a whole.

I'm pretty surprised that Pulkkinen is still in the lineup, must be 100% because of his RH shot. He isn't scoring or really creating much offense and he's tiny. But then again, we don't have much else to bring in.

 

[Vladdy84]

Wings player being interviewed right now on 105.1

Didn't catch the name. Someone that is really well-spoken.

 

[crashman]

I gotta say, I haven't been following the Wings very closely this season, but when did our lineup get so crappy? I know Abby and Cole are out, but our bottom 6 is putrid.

Is Jurco a healthy scratch? Or still dinged up? I saw he was practicing in line rushes.

I'd take him over Pulkkinen and Ferraro. I would like to see Pulkkinen sent back down when we're healthy, agree there.

It's Maltby.

 

[Vladdy84]

It's Maltby.

Thanks. The more I listened, it seemed like it wasn't a current player

Khan says he's a healthy scratch, he's been really snake-bitten, maybe he needs a couple of games to see what he can do to score.

 

[TheOtherOne]

I don't understand why pookie and Ferraro aren't switched

 

[detredWINgs]

I don't understand why pookie and Ferraro aren't switched

Well it's certainly not because Ferraro is heavier on the puck.

Isn't Price going for some record tonight? Unlikely, but I still hope the pressure makes him crack.

Some conflicting info on that, Khan says healthy scratch but HSJ says he's still injured

Khan:

Daniel Cleary and Tomas Jurco are healthy scratches.

HSJ:

Tomas Jurco (upper body) also skated and said he is doing better, but didn't know when he might play again.

[Vladdy84]

So concussion for Jurco?

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

line ups are still full Babcock I see.

Can I see your lineups with the actual HEALTHY bodies we have?

 

[Sami]

Let's go Wings!

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Can I see your lineups with the actual HEALTHY bodies we have?

Tatar-Datsyuk-Helm
Nyquist-Zetterberg-Pulkkinen
Weiss-Sheahan-Ferraro
Miller-Glendening-Andersson

Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Helm
Nyquist-Sheahan-Tatar
Ferraro-Weiss-Pulkkinen
Miller-Glendening-Andersson

Pretty much any variety of that top nine that keeps Miller, Glendening, and Andersson OUT of the top 9.

Ferraro-Weiss-Pulkkinen
Miller-Glendening-Andersson

Miller, Joker and Luke pretty much play top 9 minutes.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Miller, Joker and Luke pretty much play top 9 minutes.

Which shouldn't surprise anyone when they see how relatively offensively inept we have been.

Tiny ?. If he is tiny so is Helm, Dats, Z, Glendening, Weiss they are all listed @ 5'11". He also hasn't been getting a ton of ice time. Or playmaking linemates.

 

[lilidk]

I like line up 2 offensive and 2 defensive . they need to start to play better on defense side. the only chance they have if they play defense first . the only thing I like to see it is Smith and Zidlicky got split
How about :
Kronwall Quincey
DeKesyer Smith
Ericsson Zidlicky

 

[Frk It]

I've seen Pulkkinen in street clothes. He ain't 5'11".

 

[ap3x]

Would be for the best if he goes down to the Griffins when coming back. Long overdue.

 

[Obe2kenobe]

Oh.... The exact science of seeing someone in there street clothes. That has to be more accurate than several webpages.
