GDT: Game 35: Red Wings vs leafs 7:00 pm et 12/27/24

I thought Joey looked good on the PK, looks like Todd looked at stats. It's good that he's evaluating players in various roles.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

4 min penalty because McCabe is too cool to wear a mouthguard.

 

[Gniwder]

I wonder if McLellen has an opt out clause in his contract?

I'm sure he could terminate his contract if he wanted to.... but he'd never get another head coaching gig.

It was a joke.

 

[Gniwder]

Copp's so slow....

 

[JediOrderPizza]

I hate the we are gonna get scored on dread.

 

[SoupGuru]

This is really a dream situation for Todd, though. Like, expectations are sooooo looowwwwwe. If the wings still suck at the end of the year, that's really no indictment of him.

 

[ShanahanMan]

My god Toronto plays beautiful hockey

 

[schuelma24]

Ok, tank is still on... can we score a goal or two at least?

 

[norrisnick]

Now... Do they sulk or keep skating?

 

[FabricDetails]

Boo.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

The Todd McLellen era feels a lot like the Uncle Fester era

 

[Reddwit]

Damn, we’re gonna lose like 7-1 in McLellan’s debut, lol.

This organization continues to embarrass itself.

 

[Gniwder]

13 SOG despite a double minor to finish the period... lots of chances.

I think Todd goes into the intermission and tells everyone "just score a freakin' goal", lol.

I still dream of adding one of the top draft kids this summer to this.

All 20 minutes of it?

you guys are hilarious.

 

[Gniwder]

WTF was that to finish the period? Tank/DBC/Kane.... no center?

 

[ShanahanMan]

Worst game to have a goose egg as Buffalo as scouts there. There’s no way they’re gonna touch anyone on this team.

"We've got to shoot the puck more." - Steve Yzerman

They seriously need to put that quote over the tunnel out of the lockerroom with this team.

 

[DavidpauseReinbacher]

Yzermans fault amirite. Our captain is a wuss

I mean, it is still the Fester era in essence. This is still very much his team. What has McLellan had? 2 practices at most? This is just evaluation time. I think the only thing this impending loss proves is that the team is just not very talented, which we already knew.

 

[aar000n]

Wow they played hard though

 

[theYman]

It's 3 -0? Just came home to see what and how we're doing. Not so hot so far under McClellan. I see the shot total is a joke at least. Better compete level? Is Talbot shitting pucks into the net or something? What happened to this guy?

They looked much better getting the puck out of their own end and in the offensive zone. But defending in their own end there's still too much puck watching and running around.
