Thanks for all the coverage!
I'm stepping down from the Red Wings coverage, I will inform Gates of this so he can replace me.
Go Wings Go!

Thanks for all the coverage!
GO WINGS!
some info from twitter that I thought some people might be interested in:
It's shitty for Brendan Smith owners, like myself, who might have been hoping that he would be able to man the point on that first PP unit.Ansar Khan @AnsarKhanMLive
Babcock said Datsyuk will play with Zetterberg and Weiss will play with Franzen. Hasn't decided other wingers on top two lines.

Babcock said Alfredsson will play the right point, alongside Kronwall, on top PP unit.

Babcock hasn't decided if Alfredsson will play with 13/40 or Weiss/Franzen. Said Abdelkader could be on top-2 line or 3rd line with Helm.

It's waaaaaaaay to early for Smith to be on the first PP unit, It's very premature to expect that of him. Look at it as gravy if he gets there at times.
GO WINGS!
Not sure why Alfredsson would play the right point. He usually lined up on the left side for the one-timers.
The Wings' lines right now don't mean too much. They're breaking up the two, then putting them back...and so on.
I Alfie will obviously fill in as a winger on one of the lines and then I think it will be a carousel of players between Cleary, Abdelkader, Nyquist and Samuelsson.
But that's all only until they realize they need 13 or 40 with Franzen because he's a lazy mule.
When Datsyuk and Zetterberg are playing together, who would most likely be centering the line i.e. taking the faceoffs? And when they are not playing together, assuming they are centering separate lines, how would Weiss fit in? In your opinion of course - I know a lot can change over the course of a season.

Good news. Sounds as though Tatar will stick with Detroit even with the recent Cleary re-signing.

Mrazek in goal to start the third. Gustavsson might have tweaked his groin on that goal near end of the third.
This POTENTIALLY could become very good news for Mrazek owners. Gus was supposed to play the full 60 minutes.

Filthy, filthy play by Nyquist and Tatar.
GO WINGS!
You know it's a new season when I go to General Hockey Chat in search of the Wings and I click on Western Conference.
Here are some tidbits about the Wings and 24/7

Will be awesome to finally see the Wings behind the scenes.
