Detroit Red Wings 23/24 season thread

[lilidk]

Also remember when Debrincat lead the league in goals? Been awhile. Was just a fluke. Man is the guy streaky. What is his issue??

His center

Is it time to start selling, bring up Berggren and Edvinsson

No, too early. No way Yzerman is selling until the deadline if at all. Unless we are 15 points out by the All Star game. He finally started investing some capital into the NHL roster and even if the goal was never was playoff or bust, if you can believe what management says I still think we are riding this team for the most part until the deadline. Not playing well enough to give up future assets to make a push, and not bad enough to panic. Yet.

I swear if we dont im gonna throw the tv out from the window.

How's the tv doing?

This stretch has sucked but you have to remember they were missing Larkin and Compher for most of it.

And now the strecth will extend because there's no healthy goalies.

 

[theYman]

So who do they call up to back up Reimer??

 

[OneMoreTry]

I hoped they would start Cossa and Reimer would back him up?

 

[Konnan511]

Bring up Berggren, we need offense. Bring up Ed, we need better D-Men. Bring up Cossa, WILDCARD!

Husso gave up 2 trash goals on 6 shots, that's a problem. Anaheim had 12 shots in the 2nd/3rd combined and lost every measurable statistical category(FO%, Shots, Shot attempts, Ozone time, takeaways) other than blocked shots. You can't give trash teams 3 goal leads on soft goals.

Edvinsson not being up yet just proves how stubborn Yzerman really is.

There is no reason for him to be in GR.

This. Husso was an absolute sieve last night. That said, I'd be ok with seeing if Ed can improve our defense any. I'm ok with Maataa, Holl, or Petry (even though he scored yesterday) sitting out for a game or two.

Saw the kostin hit - did he end up being ok?

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

I think our poor goaltending has like 80-90% to do with running journeyman goalies that lack talent and maybe 10-20% on coaching.

I mean look at the names we have run in net over the last 2-3 years: Nedeljkovic, Greiss, Hellberg, Pickard, Husso, Reimer, Lyon

That is pretty much a grab bag of rejects of goalies teams didn't want for one reason or another.

That says everything you need to know. Jim Bedard was not singlehandedly propping up our goaltending. If he was, he would probably still be coaching in the NHL.

He wasn't single handedly propping up our goaltending, but just imagine if our goaltending was 10% better. We'd be near the top of the standings instead of a fight for the middle.

He didn't return and Lalonde didn't have any new info on Kostin after the game.

 

[raymond23]

This organization needs to remember what the main focus is for this team

Right now I feel they’ve lost that focus

Thank you.. reminded me of tkachuk sternum a little bit.. heavy impact on an angle.. heavy compression

No problem! Agreed, it was unsettling seeing him after that hit. Team just put him on IR actually

As someone else here pointed out - he’s like Slava Kozlov - great shot, but streaky and more often than not he needs someone else to feed him and/or do some of the dirty work.

Yikes.. yeah ok not surprised

Yeah the clip of him going back down was gross

Yup - it’s been a mess for a handful of weeks now and truthfully I don’t see it ending anytime soon.

It be a good time to sell.

It's December. If we sold Bert off in December last year we would've gotten a 3rd for him.

People need to chill.

True enough…Wait for the market to reward the sellers.

What would that be? Play the young guys? Make the playoffs? Field a competitive team?

The curse of Kane is real. The Wings have angered the hockey gods.
