GDT: Game #36 | 12/27/14 |Detroit Red Wings @ Ottawa Senators | 7:00 PM | FS-D, CBC

[Kronwalled55]

And seriously... Who is Joakim Andersson?

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

We thought secondary scoring and before the deadline we needed another top four defenseman.

There was a little bit of concern regarding goaltending for the playoffs too I remember. Especially after we lost the first two games to Nashville.

Nice GDT FlashyG.
Lines look good. Weiss is back where he belongs. Jurco oon the 4th. Let's get this party started!

 

[Actual Thought*]

None really. Probably the best team of the cap era, although you wouldn't have believed it based on the internet. No goaltending, too soft, too small, too old, too many Euros and too many playoff chokers.

We were too old, too small, and too weak to win in 97, 98, and 02 as well.

Time to start a win streak.

They went on like a ten game skid where they were like 2 and 8 in the weeks leading up to the playoffs too.

Well that tends to happen when your entire blueline is missing.

[silkyjohnson50]

What about L.A. last year? What were their holes come Spring time?

 

[JPE123]

I have to wonder if Holland and Babcock are seeing eye to eye on this. Kindl was definitely benched in the 3rd period last game until Kronwall got hurt. I can't remember the last time Babs outright benched someone.

Maybe Holland is begging anyone to take Kindl and someone finally offered to send a scout to the game?

Worst chance to dump Kindl is for someone to actually see him play

If you talk in person like you do on here nobody is going to know you're a Detroit fan.

scoring, richie and quickie also hadn't been great.

they had played well after TDL though. i think they had 3rd best goal differential after TDL

Here's a fun stat: DeKeyser and Quincey are our most productive defensemen at even strength. Ouellet and Lashoff are actually better, but haven't played more than 10 games a piece.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

A Flashy GDT is always nice.

Last family dinner of the Holiday season will interrupt some of this game but hoping we come out strong. Would be nice to have a good stretch on the road here after we didn't do all we should have with the long home stretch.

I don't think Ottawa is a very good squad, pin them deep and look for rebounds. The Wings should win this one, hoping the offense has woke back up and puts up a four spot.

 

[silkyjohnson50]

Dekeyser and Quincey have been together for almost a calendar year to the day now. And steady is the best way to describe them.

Lashoff playing protected minutes in a few games means nothing other than he isn't good enough to play against good NHL players. So its not really a fun stat. Its meaningless at best.

Well, I also think Lashoffs stats are useless. I just meant that as a disclaimer.

The fun stat is DeKeyser and Quincey leading the way at even strength. I'm not sure many posters would have known that.

 

[Frk It]

Really is cool that Babcock thinks so highly of Sheahan, that he nks he can play Pav and Z together, because Riley can handle the 2C spot.

That's awesome.

 

[abparry87]

Go wings go!

Especially with Weiss playing as good as he has.

 

[mindfly]

Is Kindl playing !?

 

[theYman]

Is this a home game? They give us our definitive pp horn jingle and you can hear alot of our fans their.
