GDT: Game 36: Red Wings vs caps 5:00 pm et 12/29/24

[14ari13]

He is going to be a monster as he develops and adds more muscle. To just body someone like Ovie is really impressive.

Ovie doesn't get bounced like that often.

at this point I'd rather have Fischer in there than Tarasenko

He has really struggled

Holl is really trying to survive, jeebus.

I believe he has played around 10 games in a row and hasn't looked bad.

If tarasenko doesn't score or gets an assist he should sit for a game or 2.

Can you imagine our PK at home is undef 60%?
Does anyone understand what Ken is talking about? Poor Mickey sitting next to him.

 

[Euro Twins]

I'm confused why we are not hopelessly dumping the puck in every possession. What advantage could maintaining possession entering the zone possibly give us?

Yeah! I mean, if you have the puck, and try to do something with it, it might turn out to be an error! :O

 

[dalem177]

Much better defense posture than the usual turtle power. Really wanna see some push in the third tho, a little more cushion.

Are you saying you're gonna be pushing out a turtle head in the third?

You'll miss the GAME, lad!

 

[Pavels Dog]

Kasper is doing all the right things.

 

[Austrianwing]

Seeing the all those chip-outs, but what's different is they are still trying to score. I would guess creating that risk makes it a little harder for the other guys to safely cheat for offense...

 

[dalem177]

So these are the same defensemen.

The Caps are really good.

The Wings are pretty much shutting them down (so far).

And these are the same defensemen.

(Arby's is getting a run on curly fries tomorrow too.)

Hmph.

 

[Lampedampe]

I know I'm probably seeing what I want to see. But it looks like they've got a plan for the breakouts and it actually looks like it works.

The defensemen don't back onto the goal straight away on the caps entry, looks hard for the caps the get clean entries.

 

[ShanahanMan]

Lot of things in Kasper’s game he needs to work on.

 

[DatsDeking]

Lucky goal but good hustle to create the luck

 

[theYman]

Let the puck sit there too long. Dowd scores
f***!

 

[Austrianwing]

Kind of missed it... where was everyone else? Kasper seemed to be playing defense by himself in front of the goal

 

[SoupGuru]

We're going to lose, aren't we?

 

[theYman]

C'mon get Lalonde out your f***in heads!! He's gone!!!

 

[Lampedampe]

Damn, the refs are in on the tank

 

[Peter Tosh]

We're going to lose, aren't we?

That’s just PTSD from the last decade or so. New era from now on

 

[dalem177]

We're going to lose, aren't we?

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Death, taxes, Dowd scoring on us

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Compher 3 faceoff wins, 12 losses.

He needs to spend some time with Kris Draper.

 

[dalem177]

RAS SHOT THE PUCK ON A BREAKAWAY!

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Rasmussen, I know you didn't score but that doesn't mean when you get the puck back you should just fire it blindly around the boards. You could've maintained possession.

 

[SoupGuru]

RAS SHOT THE PUCK ON A BREAKAWAY!

No, he's just a really terrible passer

 

[Pavels Dog]

Filthy pass by Kasper!

 

[Euro Twins]

We're going to lose, aren't we?

No

 

[Peter Tosh]

Ed will get the EN goal
