Round 1: Preds VS Wings

[GuySir]

I'm not even surprised he didn't get suspended. If Z had a concussion or neck injury from that, then Weber would be done for multiple games, but since Z will be ok, he'll just get a small fine. Ridiculous how they punish the result of the incident instead of the act itself.

I agree.

Also, Nyquist is in for Game 2 in place of Helm.

F--k Shea Weber, F--k Betteman, F--k every ref at that game, F--k the League, I wanna say F--k Shanny, but I won't. This is shaping up to look like a SJ/DET series. I wanna see a fight Friday, Bert and Weber. That s--t better be avenged. And dammit, Helmer's out!!

[westhockeytown]

And this is the guy we want as a FA next year?

nope.

[StealingSigns]

I actually feel pretty good about their chances in game 2.

They certainly played well enough to win game 1. Zetterberg is the big reason I have the confidence; he is playing his best hockey I have seen in a couple of years.

The best I've seen them play recently (that I can remember lol). I'm 100% sure if the Wings play like that again they will win game 2.

Any idea who will be in for Helmer? Not impressed with Emmerton the other night.

[LionsFan..LOL]

Gustav Nyquist

Emmerton will remain in, obviously.

Would rather see Conner, Emmerton has not impressed me at all.

Thank you!

[wingnut]

Thank you!

Your Welcome !

[Det4Life]

Yeah, I'm surprised they don't give Conner a game to see what he can do. He was really coming along before he got hurt during the season.

[wingnut]

Here are the anticipated line combinations based on today's practice at Bridgestone Arena:
Valterri Filppula-Henrik Zetterberg-Jiri Hudler
Johan Franzen-Pavel Datsyuk-Todd Bertuzzi
Nyquist-Justin Abdelkader-Danny Cleary
Miller-Cory Emmerton-Tomas Holmstrom
Nicklas Lidstrom-Jonathan Ericsson
Niklas Kronwall-Brad Stuart
Kyle Quincey-Ian White
Jimmy Howard
Ty Conklin
Extra players: Chris Conner, Jan Mursak, Riley Sheahan, Jakub Kindl

I really wish Babs would stop putting Pav w/ mule and Bert, one of them is fine, but we really need someone with some speed on that line besides Pav.

I think we should put him in the line up, Conner has blazing speed that we could use to open up the ice for other players.
