Pre-Game Talk: Wings @ Senators - Zetterlund's Ascension

[PatrickEaves]

Put Zetterlund on Timmy's wing you cowards!

 

[aragorn]

I’ll be there.

Curious where zetterlund plays to start.

Perron is playing quite good with batherson at the moment

And stutzle is flying with giroux and tkatchuk.

And that third line is super effective at the moment

So…..

I think so too. the two top lines are playing well & it would make sense to drop Amadio down a line although they are playing well too. It's the 4th line that needs to be upgraded, Cousins likely replaces Highmore when he gets healthy.

Tkachuk - Stutzle - Giroux
Perron - Cozens - Batherson
Greig - Pinto - Zetterlund
Highmore - Gaudette - Amadio

Sanderson - Zub
Chabot - Jensen
Kleven - Matinpalo
Gilbert - Hamonic

Ullmark - Forsberg/Merilainen

 

[Nova Stutzlia]

Zetterlund has played Detroit 8 times, with 3 goals and 4 assists.

Hockey's version of JIT Inventory/Manufacturing/Whatever.
SS consulted Andlauer?

(JIT = just in time.)

Tomorrow's game is on prime. Anyone have a mobile friendly stream that can be used to casted to a tv?

I can give you a mobile st but I’m not entirely sure you could cast it. You could for sure play it on a laptop and hdmi to your TV.

Oh snap, this games available on Amazon streaming!

Tkachuk - Stutzle - Giroux

Greig - Pinto - Zetterlund

Sanderson - Zub
Chabot - Jensen
Kleven - Matinpalo
Gilbert - Hamonic

Ullmark - Forsberg/Merilainen

I don't think you can separate Pinto and Amadio. Zetterlund is basically a better, smarter version of Greig at this point. It will also keep Zetterlund on his preferred side. Greig has also shown to be more effective down the middle and I trust him there far more than Gaudette:

Tkachuk - Stutzle - Giroux
Perron - Cozens - Batherson
Zetterlund- Pinto - Amadio
Highmore - Greig - Gaudette

However, Greig is being relied upon heavily by Travis so I bet he keeps that line and we see Zetterlund with Cozens or Stutzle. Immediately put him in position to succeed. He has skillset that we would want to really bring the most out of.

 

[Sun God Nika]

fitting for Zetterlund to make his debut against the red wings. There was a time where the sens and wings where some of the most swede heavy teams.


What I want.

Tkachuk - Stützle - Giroux
Zetterlund - Pinto - Amadio
Perron - Cozens - Batherson
Highmore - Greig - Gaudette

Sanderson - Zub
Chabot - Jenson
Kleven - Matinpalo

What I will get.

Tkachuk - Stützle - Giroux
Perron - Cozens - Batherson
Greig - Pinto - Amadio
Zetterlund - Highmore - Gaudette

Sanderson - Zub
Chabot - Jenson
Kleven - Hamonic

Its ok to slot Greig at 4C. Maybe if he was playing for a contract he would be pissed but now that he gots his deal the only priority is helping the team win.

 

[Boud]

Tkachuk - Stutzle - Zetterlund
Perron - Cozens - Batherson
Greig - Pinto - Giroux
Highmore - Gaudette - Amadio

Or

Zetterlund - Stutzle - Giroux
Tkachuk - Cozens - Batherson
Perron - Pinto - Amadio
Highmore - Greig - Gaudette

Gotta think the wings bring their best game tomorrow, on the heels of a 5 game losing streak that we are all too familiar with, their season is on the line. It will be a difficult game for the Sens, no one should be overlooking the wings

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

 

[Crosside]

I hope to see Gilbert in but would be sad to send down Kleven to Belleville

 

[Yak]

This is a pretty big game. This is a game where I would love to see a blowout of the Red wings and the team just get going on all cylinders.

However, I am not going to be picky, but I definitely want these two points worse than any other two points I've wanted in a while. We got to come out tonight like this is our playoffs and our game seven. Fight tooth and nail and do whatever it takes and leave it all out on the ice. Blood sweat and tears. Dig deep and make every shift count. Don't take a shift off or have any mental lapses. Bring your A game. It's going to be one hell of a game.

For the sake of the life and mental health of many of us here, we best not throw up a dud. I want that Zetterlund hero timeline please

I'd play Greig at 4th line centre, it presents a very balanced team at centre. And prevents them from putting a clear top 9 winger like Perron or Amadio (who plays well with Pinto) on the 4th line. Greig can move up if say Brady gets in a fight and is in the box. He'll also get ice time on the PK and PP2. Kind of sucks for him, but good for the team's depth.

Going forward, I'd keep this lineup, and if we're against a tough team, go 11-7 with Gilbert in, and Gaudette out. Adding Zetterlund means we don't need Gaudette on PP2. Highmore is more needed in the lineup, as he's a regular on the PK.
