Fits their team
From Baby Joe Velano to Pint-sized DeBrincat. We should've been abusing these guys all night, from the way they reacted to physical play.

I love these fans of teams that get so whiny without about physical play without acknowledging their history, like the Bruins, Red Wings and Penguins

this guy would have cried if he saw Konstantinov play before the accident

During the game, I was saying to myself, "Gordie Howe is rolling over in his grave."

I think this top 6 has to happen (for now)

Kreider Zib Jimmy (frank)ing Vesey
Paranin Trocheck Laf

Has. To. Happen.

Cuylle Chytil (hopefully) Wheeler could be really good speed/size combo 3rd line

If they don’t have Chytil, Center is more important to add over RW imo. They really should try and pry Pinto away from Ottawa

No matter how good Vessey is playing, he isnt the answer on the first line.

Good morning all. Just caught up on the comments, man you all are crazy during the game, You do realize not every game will be art worthy, some are a slog. But love the passion. Need to read what the Detroit blogger wrote so I can get up to speed. Working on recap blog now.

And wheeler is? You are missing the point with him, they have no one else

Maybe he’s actually turning into one, like Vatrano did

Well, I just responded in the Wings blog.

I kind of agree, and maybe not for the reason people think.

Vesey has given us a bottom 6 line that is chipping in goals. Its only been a couple games ago that Zib was flirting with a HT scoring at ES with Wheeler. I would rather have 3 lines scoring than 2.

Blogger fight? I think we talked him down once Kane was brought up lol

Absolutely not.

You do this all the time, you ramp yourself up and stay there. Vessey didnt morph into a first line player, at the age of 30 he is at best a third line player. He is just having a good stretch. Enjoy his play.

No I dont think Wheeler is, My money was on KK. Im still not giving up on him. Im am for splitting up Mika and CK20 though, they just arent producing 5v5

No fight, read and let me know your view

Did you tell him you want to fart on him too

Absolutely not.

Whooooo tho lol Kakko is hurt. Wheeler is old and slower. We have no other answers for it the guy makes under a million bucks and he’s like the energizer bunny and now seems to score every game

Absolutely not.

Id like to see Cuylle up there for the sake of a different look, however, you know theres no way Lav is making such a drastic change when were 16-4-1

Nah, not my style

That’s what I mean. To me the choices are Wheeler or Vesey with Zib and Kreider, that’s it. You guys are missing the point

Cuylle is a LW, it’s ok to move him but not Othmann?

I’m going to write up a petition to get Vesey more ice time

Nah, not my style
- airjan23

In my defense he asked for it

He probably should’ve waited an hour or so before writing a blog it was very reactionary, heat of the moment type stuff. The Cuylle hit is probably he’s only real beef imo. That COULDVE been a major

Go for it. But the fourth line has an identity, why mess with that unit's success right now?

I will cover that. Plus the Trocheck knee hit could have been dangerous as well. Kreider was a check where DeBrincat saw him coming.

Was my response measured enough for you all?

Jan, what’s more important..a better first line or a better 4th line? Cmon that’s ridiculous

The first line continues to struggle getting 5 on 5 offense

Yea but neither Kreider nor Cuylle are doing anything at ES. Vesey and that line have really clicked and its showing on the scoreboard. Id rather keep that line together and keep that secondary scoring. Instead Id try to use players from lines that arent clicking to find some punch.

What about Panarin crushing skulls all game and only getting one penalty?

Whats important is scoring depth.
