GDT: Game 25: Red Wings at b's 7:00 pm et 12/3/24

[cjm502]

All of the chatter preseason about what a special thing it would be if all of the Wings' Cs were UofM products (Larkin, Compher, Copp, Motte) sure faceplanted right out of the gate. Larkin, obviously, is the Wings' most important C, but would be an above-average 2C on a contender, the other three have been completely useless.

As a Spartan grad, I would love it if I never had to listen to Daniels slobber over another UofM player again.

Larkin battles for pucks, forechecks hard, backchecks hard, wins faceoffs, plays good defense, scores goals, makes plays, and is a leader. Clearly the heart and soul of this team, when Larkin is out the whole team is hot stinky dogshit. He is a very complete player and stays around almost exactly one point per game on offensively inept Wings teams. I would wager if you put Larkin on most contenders he averages above one point per game while being strong in all areas. Bona fide 1C, I don't get the high end 2C talk from so many people.

"Snow is expected here in Beantown over the next few days, but it's no mere snow job to say that in the Atlantic Division, only a few points separate everyone in the mushy middle from each other. With Husso starting in net tonight, the Wings could skate a little closer to the Bruins position in the standings and maybe even start a snowball of wins for the Holiday Season."

Not sure if this posted elsewhere, but some IR updates per HSJ looks like Cossa is up for at least 2 games

 

[theYman]

Let the shitshow begin! Ready?

 

[dalem177]

can they hold the line long enough for me to get my virtual tour of house that my foster dog might end up in?

 

[norrisnick]

Goaltending iffy at best? You might need to brush up your pre-game research, Parm...

 

[Juha]

Let the shitshow begin! Ready?

I think I am sufficiently liquored up for this. Will Husso last 2 periods?

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Ah dang ESPN crew.

 

[theYman]

Why is Ras on the top line?

 

[LongTimeDRWF]

Why is Ras on the top line?

To greatly confuse the Bruins...and us...

 

[saska sault]

Compher just got trucked in front of the net with no puck in sight lol

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Why is Ras on the top line?

Lalonde has run out of ideas so is organizing lines by height?

 

[Lampedampe]

Always forget how much I hate the Bruins

He thought we were playing the devils

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Ras is there to grind and win pucks battles!

*Watches him not hit and lose puck battles*

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

nice move by Kasper

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Oh that was a real cheeky dipsy doodle by Kasper

Lohrei won't remember which day of the week it is after that lol

ferrarro seems knowledgable about wings for a guy who doesnt cover them often

Yeah, I think he is a great color commentator in general. Always interesting.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Emily Kaplan looks like Danny Elfman.

 

[LongTimeDRWF]

Raymond!

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

lucky play for Ed there

 

[wingsfannn919191]

Lucas Raymond's contract will turn out to be a huge steal ... yzermans gotta make some moves

 

[Lampedampe]

Lidström like pass, so smart to use opponents skate

Never forget THAT hatred.
