Detroit Red Wings

Thanks guy's.

Eaves was sent to the LTIR, also...so Emmerton, who cleared waivers will probably be on the starting roster for the opener.

 

He will be back soon, and I bet he know's it. Long season and the injury factor will play a role.

 

*WALL* *WALL* *WALL* *WALL* *WALL*

 

At least most should rest assured that Holland and Babcock won't be catering to the fans.

 

If I read you correctly...they have a plan. Oh wait...

 

Whats wrong with Bertuzzi, Id much rather have him than about 5 guys on that roster. Im not a big Tater sauce fan, hes ok but even at 38 Bert brings way more to the table. To be honest now that Emmertonthe only guy I dont want in the lineup is Anderson. Sammy I can do without also. I wont get into the defense. Who in the hell is Jared Coreau? I hope Mrazek gets back soon, hes gonna be a good one I think. Hes lightning quick, good glove and his lateral movement speed is very impressive

 

Cheeks I thought you liked Bert

 

when u figure it out, let me know. i'd never heard of him before yesterday.

the horse's mouth (nhl.com) has listed opening day rosters:

Detroit Red Wings

Justin Abdelkader, Daniel Alfredsson, Joakim Andersson, Todd Bertuzzi, Daniel Cleary, Jared Coreau, Pavel Datsyuk, Danny DeKeyser, Cory Emmerton, Jonathan Eriksson, Johan Franzen, Jimmy Howard, Jakub Kindl, Niklas Kronwall, Brian Lashoff, Drew Miller, Xavier Ouellet, Kyle Quincey, Mikael Samuelsson, Brendan Smith, Tomas Tatar, Stephen Weiss, Henrik Zetterberg.

Injured: Willem Coetzee, Patrick Eaves, Landon Ferraro, Jonas Gustafsson, Darren Helm, Nick Jensen, Jordin Tootoo.

i'll say this in sammy's defense, and it's no secret i'm not his biggest fan.every time i saw him this preseason, he looked good. solid backchecking, responsible play. only saw bert play for a few minutes, but his skating looks fine - as fine as it ever did.

 

The game is on NBCsports tonight at 8.

 

I hope Pierre brings his "A" game between the glass.

Lucky?

 

GO WINGS!!! see you clowns in the chat room

 

me, Lulz and Will

 

.....and Cheeks

 

Mo the wife beater has to go

 

Not when he takes a roster spot from Tatar.

 

I'd take Bert over Emmerton, though.

 

Red Wings win their opener 2-1 over the Sabres. Datsyuk and Samuelsson scored for the Wings, and the Wings killed all 7 of the Buffalo power plays, including 2, 5 on 3's. Howard and company really played well.
