Who the hell is Sheldon Dries?

I had read earlier on Twitter a flu bug was going around the Wings. 

Update: wait, Sheldon Dries played 63 games for the Canucks a few years ago but I’ve never heard this name in my life? Am I just sleepwalking though life?

PLEASE have Hamonic out-of-commission or heading to Grand Rapids...

Please?

[1984Echoes]

Dries was some depth skill-veteran GR signed...

28 points in 32 games and +14... means nothing but, just sayin'...

5' 9" 31 year old depth guy (break glass in case of emergency...).

Radio said flu bug going around the room.

Hulu games suck, big time. Trying to wade thru all their ads, clicking the wrong button and starting all over makes me want to throw the remote outside in the snow. And now the cat is hiding...😾

Finally find the game and it doesn't start until 7:30...lol. Some stupid talking head just said he doesn't believe the Wings are for real and he expects a huge 2nd half collapse. Idiot...

Not sure it makes him an idiot for expecting the same result when they are pretty much the same thing from last year (less the out of body first half from Gibson).

Edvinsson to IR, may just be making room for bodies with the flu stuff going around.  Guessing Dries sits in the press box the whole time if everything goes to plan.  Danielson got hurt in GR I know that

Making predictions on past performances is shortsighted. Have faith in Stevie, if the Wings miss the playoffs this season, his days may be numbered.

Habs, Sabres and Bruins have all jumped out to 2-goal 1st period leads and the Wings game hasn't even started yet.

john buccigross is the worst person in america

[slothfacekilla]

Kane breaks the record for US born points!

[lordstanley]

Kane the record breaker!

[slothfacekilla]

[lordstanley]

Kane offside?

if they miss because they suddenly run into more injuries beyond Edvinsson, it's a 'what can you do' situation. But if they are relatively healthy and collapse again, with a previously successful and experienced coach, then you have to start thinking about rebuilding around a different core - like maybe a Larkin trade.

I think the Olympics are going to be a major test for Larkin's captainship. If he doesn't take care of himself and come back healthy, then he is too selfish about his personal goals to  be a team captain on a winner.

Kane!

[lordstanley]

For real this time!

[Shinzaki]

Yes!!

Kane has been a joy to watch here in Detroit. Hlad to see him get the record

[GalagaGuy]

Now we just need Kane to pass Brett Hull so we can stop hearing how he's the top scoring American in history.  Kane needs 17 points and has 27 games after tonight to get it done.  

[lordstanley]

Caps regain the lead.

The East's #1,2,4,5,6,7 and 8 teams have all won tonight. 

[slothfacekilla]

Thought the Wings had a legit argument with the glove push but I didn't have the sound on so I'm not sure what the reasoning was

In case anyone cares, the most points by a Poland-born NHLer is Mariusz Czerkawski with 435 🙂
