GDT: Game 31: Red Wings vs ducks 7:00 pm et 12/18/23 (ESPN+, BSD+)

Rasmussen and Ghost out there instead of Raymond and Seider

f*** YOU Lalonde
so frustrating...

Raymond was our best player for a while. You have to think this is Yzerman telling Lalonde to do it to lower their extensions, it's the only thing that makes sense.

The good news is that we saw how Raymond was playing when he was getting 1st line minutes, and 1st PP. He will be that 80+ player eventually, but unfortunately it'll be another 50-60 point year this year.
 
They didn't want 2 points. That's a sad effort vs a team that should not be able to come in on the road and win with that line up and us relatively healthy.

Kane was good all night, he has his warts but he makes things happen. His shot is not getting through but that may change with some luck.

Mo needs to get some PP1 chances or something because 16 minutes is not enough.. not even close. He should be 20 minimum regardless of special teams.

Goaltending/defense/TEAM continues to give up 4 goals is going to sink us quicker than anything else this season. We have leaks all over on that end of the ice.

That's a dangerous f***ing game. Why sign long term with a team that would rather f*** with financials than ice the best team?

That trip to Sweden screwed us so hard... Playing every other night plus back to backs all of December is a joke for a professional league.
 
Looked good in the third. Kane still looks great even under a heavy workload. He is going to take off with chemistry.
 
I don't care... you play to win the game
Seider is better at every part of the game than Ghost. It is clear this team is limiting his ice time for contractual reasons. All of Seider offensive underlying stats are better than Ghost.

Same with Raymond. He is consistently a top 3 player for this team every game and gets no ice time. Coaching is a big reason we are losing games in addition to dog shit defenseman like Petry getting top pairing minutes.
