Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted October 22, 2017 No Sheahan and no Sproul. Athanasiou not in yet. I feel that Vancouver might try to steal this based on that. Nah, just pulling your pants. I hold us as the favorite but not by much. If Howard plays nice and tight we got this (Khan says he is starting). A meagre 20 bucks bet on the Detroit moneyline as the odds are too low. LGRW!

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted October 22, 2017 Wilson will make his Red Wings debut tonight wearing number 23. Witkowski still in the lineup. What the f*** does Blashill see in this guy? Hopefully when Athanasiou gets in the lineup, there's no more Witkowski... 1 PavelValerievichDatsyuk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I myself like them rednecks if used very sparingly, must be my defensive background. But that's not my point which is that something tells me David Booth is the one that'll be moved down for AA. He was brought in to hopefully throw an offensive spark and provide a good measure of toughness which he did presason and nicely at that. Hasn't happened since - he looks stale out there. Time to pass him up, he is too old to hope for a miracle shape-em-up. I'd like to pass down both Booth and Witkowski and move Hicketts up but it seems to idealistic right now. Give it an injury or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give it an injury or two. Booth hasn't looked great, but definitely better than Witkowski in my opinion. I agree that it will likely be Booth sent down before Witkowski, but it shouldn't be... Why would we call Hicketts up after demoting two 4th line forwards? DeKeyser will likely be back sometime this week, so it's going to take at least two injuries before Hicketts gets a call. And even then, they might just throw Witkowski back there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give it an injury or two. Seems like the guys brought in to bring toughness often don’t use it in Detroit, or they are often scratched, even against teams where that element can be useful. They should just stop signing these type of guys and save a bit of cap room. They were happy with Ott last season apparantly, although he got his ass kicked for a living. There was room for him to play more though. This season there isn’t room for one of Booth or Witkowski on the roster once AA is in, and the one kept won’t play much.

I want 8 defensemen up and Ericsson sitting permanently til he asks for a move. It's dirty but if you have something sharper, by all means don't be shy. Our forwards should be able to handle the workload. Drastic and improbable yes, but just illuminating an alternative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I agree, but it'll be Booth cuz he's on the 2 way contract and he already passed waivers so no risk of losing him. Don't expect Wit to get much ice time once AA is ready.

Dabura 12,228 Report post Posted October 22, 2017 I'll always do the HYPE! jams, but I feel like I need to add another shtick to my talent stack. So I'ma try something new here tonight: oddly specific predictions. Larkin with two goals and an assist tonight. One of those goals is a power play goal, the other is an even strength goal.
