GDT: Buffalo @ Detroit, 7:30 pm est, 12/1/2015

Larkin looks phenomenal. But he is being centered by Zetterberg, which is nice. Sort of like how Draisaitl looks fantastic, but he's centering Hall and Eberle.

 

Centered by Zetterberg, with Abelkader on the other wing.  Abdelkader is the spacemaker on that line- bangs around along boards, clogs up in front of the net.  That line has a little bit of everything and maybe works better as a line than anything Buffalo has going right now.  (Although Kane-ROR-Reinhart might be better on paper and may eventually be better on the ice).

Wings' Larkin Named Rookie of the Month for November.

 

You gonna take that lying down, Jack?  Samson?

[Randall Flagg]

Offered them something like 2/3 2nds to move up to their spot (21st overall) to take him, but they said no and took him anyways. It's comforting knowing Murray can identify talent on par with Holland though

It was all three 2nds, yep. I was furious when I heard it, but Larkin has proved me wrong and Timmy (and Detroit) correct.

 

IIRC Larkin's name also came up in Myers trade discussions

[Wyldnwoody44]

I need to see more outta jack, I won't sit here and tolerate just okay play from someone touted as "elite" talent.... Make it so.

This article about Larkin and Eichel just makes me ill.

Hang out together.

 

How the hell can a perfectly good deep hated rivalry get started when there is nothing but Bro Love going around. Darn kids today are to nice.

[darksabre]

When this team gets caught watching, they really get caught.

[hockeyhound]

Larrson out of the dog house?

 

They better get their head out of their azz if they want to win!

Such blatant interference on the dump in attempt.  I wish refs would call that.

The Bogosian - McCabe pairing hasn't been very good.

[Randall Flagg]

Why does Gio tip that right to the detroit defender? why not keep it? he had space

[sodbuster]

Couple of good shifts there.

[Randall Flagg]

Great shift there.

[darksabre]

Real good shifts. That quick goal woke them up faster than normal.

[Ottosmagic13]

We are terrible to start and they are terrible to finish, should be interesting

Well the terrible start thing is on point...now about that finish

 

 

 

Does Rob Ray ever not list finishing checks as a key to the game?

Oof.  Whatchadoin' there, Linus?
