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

[Boud]

Guaranteed Zetterlund will see shifts on other lines.

I think that’s a function of where we are in the standings and just how important this game is. Other guys on the team are used to play with each other. Zetterlund doesn’t know the system right now so it makes a lot of sense to shelter him before he gets used to the way we play.

All it takes to lose a game is a player missing their coverage or not knowing exactly where they need to be. By starting him slow you’re reducing the chances of that happening.

This is exactly why I was so shocked to see Cozens out for our PK. It's sort of a mess already, so to throw him out in his 1st game seemed odd.

I have no clue if Buff uses a similar diamond, so maybe it wasn't a stretch for him.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

Can we please take and hold a lead tonight rather than another come from behind nail biter.

Linus - no leaky goals!

FZ - get a point!

Stü - keep it going.

Those are my wishes.

I will give you 3 more:

Pinto - Goal.
Sens - Win.
Wings - Eat shit.

Wait a f***ing second Hamonic is still alive and playing WTF did he drink the same cool aid as Boro, man is a warrior but sit him down Green!

Oh well we got this, love the way Tkachuk, Sandy, and Stu are leading the troops. They will treat the game and the opponent with respect. Wings are hungry.

Playoff vibes

Does anybody know if the CTC will refund a customized jersey if I bought one for a player I expected us to acquire at the trade deadline but we didn't?

Not asking for me. Asking for a friend.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

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…..

If I see someone in a Galchenyuk jersey I'll come say hi.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Would be nice to take control of the scoreboard instead of trailing from behind. It’s been a while.

 

[Cosmix]

Wings are charmin soft.

Feeling the Sens will pick them apart physically and beat them 5-2 with Zetterlund leading the way in hits.

I think our team tends to go to sleep against lesser opponents. There is not enough aggression in our game. The coaching staff needs to install more compete in our roster.

 

[Cosmix]

We need our goalies to round back into form.

That means fewer softies per game.

We also need our players to play a solid two-way game without the puck, back checking, covering their man, not watching the puck, etc.

 

[Cosmix]

Which goalie will we be getting?

Good Ullmark, Bad Ullmark, or Forsberg?


Only one of those is good

I have a preference for a 4th option.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

If you can swing going tonight, I would encourage everyone to go. This is going to be like a playoff game. I sleep 3 hours a night and I'm still going.

I feel exactly this way. I love afternoon games.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

No sense in worrying about where Zetts is slotting into the lineup right now - I expect he'll be moved up within the game, if not by next game.

I am jacked to watch tonight's game: Big division game, huge points on the line, new players to watch... I've got a fun amount of nervous energy about it, but I sure do wish the day would go a little quicker!

We are 7-2-1 in our last 10 against Detroit according to Statsmuse.

This is it.

People are looking into where he is first slotted in at ES too much. He just joined a team with a different system and no familiarity with the coach. Pinto line likely has a different assignment than they will give Zett.

He will be up on one of the top two lines by the end of the game because he is someone who is actually going to get into the dirty areas and try to score

 

[L'Aveuglette]

GDT is up!

I predict 2LW to start, moving Perron down to 3LW.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Just because Zetterlund is starting on the 4th line means he will stay there. Green mixes the lines up during games when they're ahead to give some guys opportunities with better players or play better defensively & sometimes when they are behind to mix it up & change momentum.

Coaches are human beings capable of thought and adapting?

I tried to find one a couple months ago I don’t think there’s one even in existence.

Wait it out. Soucy only has 1 year left before he's a UFA.

Yes but Hamonic

 

[Nova Stutzlia]

You’re right. We can always go back to 11-7 and give Zetterlund a rest on the bench.

Other option is to move highmore up to the second line.

First line would be even more high.

We know why

Other than family, who would even want one.
