another very early GNT - Wings vs. Nucks

[puckhead]

Daniel is a proud poppa as of last night, so should have plenty of time to get to Detroit.
Bieksa back in the line-up - finally 7 healthy d. Tanev to sit?

for Detroit, Kuzma reporting that they won't have Datsyuk, Franzen, Bertuzzi or Hudler in the line-up.


Go Canucks Go!!!!!!!

 

[postmaster]

I guarantee the Wings will not lose tonight.

That's quite a hit to the forward ranks...Yikes.

4 of their 10 top scorers.


speaking of Tanev, here's a really interesting look at his play (gotta love stats nerds)
Pass it to Bulis: Evaluating Chris Tanev

Tanev starts in the offensive zone only 43.5% of the time... He moves the puck in the right direction as well: he finishes his shifts in the offensive zone 52.2% of the time,

Hopefully the Wings get healthy for the playoffs. Takes a little bit of excitement out of the game but should still be a good one.

I saw a picture of Daniel's baby. I am not sure but I think Henrik is the father.

Jim Jamieson got a great quote from Tanev's father: "When he got the puck in the corner I always made him wait and make the pass to somebody's stick, and he's been doing that from a very young age." This is one of the reasons he's absorbing so many hits, however, as he avoids simply banking the puck off the glass, preferring to make a pass that retains possession. Unlike many rookie defensemen who hang on to the puck too long because they're unsure what to do with it, Tanev hangs on to the puck because he knows exactly what to do with it. This patience is one of his best qualities, but also one of the reasons he's taking so much physical punishment.

for some reason I read this and think of JayBo ... dash ... makes you kinda wish the Tanevs adopted JayBo as a kid, no???

lol Im sorry

Makes sense...He's the scorer while Henrik is the set-up man.

av and bowness telling media today not to assume Tanev is coming out of the lineup

true. Salo might hurt himself tying his skates.

Tanev has been getting more ice time than Ballard on some nights.
And Rome has seemed impervious to it all throughout the season.

Let's Go Redwings!

Ballard Tanev pairing >>>>>> Rome Tanev pairing

I dont know how AV doesnt see it ... is it because he's infatuated by Romes size (keep it out of the gutter, guys)

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Samuelsson out tomorrow with lower body injury

Oreskovich recalled





Hodgson ???

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Jesus Christ...even the ex-Redwing players are getting injured now.

 

[sherbert1421]
