GDT: Game 38: Red Wings at bjs 7:00 pm et 1/2/25

You poked it to no one there Ed. You could've held it.

Unless you're talking about a different play, it looked like he poked it specifically because he couldn't corral it at the time.

Yes, to an open guy at the blueline, but that's better than conceding possession in the circle.

 

[Gniwder]

Raz rode Werenski in the boards....

I'd rather see Fisher than Motte.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Ras drives me nuts when he just shovels the puck in a random direction even when he has time to make a play.

I don't know that I've seen a player who wants the puck on his stick less.

 

[Lampedampe]

Trying to remind myself that this is only the honeymoon period... But man does team look like a different beast.

Lalonde gaslit us into thinking the team sucked, forgive me Petry!

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Werenski telling the ref to wake the F up lol.

 

[norrisnick]

Olivier isn't near a good enough player for Mo to give him the time of day. Chia can have that scuffle.

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

McLellan for Jack Adams???

 

[RRhoads]

Hockey is fun again

Yeah, I was hoping he'd work on that after he fixed his skating, and it never happened. He'd be a solid 3rd liner if he'd work on his stick skills including shooting.

I gotta miss the rest of the game. Good luck, I hope Copp scores to seal the victory, lol. Gotta love the 1st period start the last 3games.

I think he gaslit the team into thinking they sucked.
"Don't even try to make plays. You'll only get burned."

 

[RRhoads]

Copp and Debrincat got apples on Kane's goal

 

[cvaicunas]

Man I can feel my liver enzymes normalizing already. Thank you Sir Mclellan

I think there's actually some truth to it, I don't think he was that blunt but that was his basic coaching mentality with his stupid shell, dump and chase, and chipping pucks out of the D zone.

Copp and Debrincat got apples on Kane's goal

2C Copp!!!!!

 

[RRhoads]

There was a press conference early in the season, don't remember after which game, but I sensed some bad air between Kane, and Lalonde's choice of tactics.

 

[JoesuffP]

The best case scenario is Blash and Lalonde were truly lemons and wings haven’t had a competent coach in the Seider era. We can hopefully start to reevaluate our guys because we’ve always thought these guys should be better

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

It was Lalonde's fault lol

 

[RRhoads]

2C Copp!!!!!

Copp and Kane looks good together. Copp brings some balance to that line.

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

Which is interesting because apparently last season Kane was impressed by Lalonde's coaching and attention to detail.

Yeah, but this was more about his choice to sitting back with a lead.

 

[Austrianwing]

Switching out the Macallan for Mclellan? LOL

 

[14ari13]

McLellan for Jack Adams???

After 6 men on the ice for like 10 seconds? And they were playing like everything was just fine. It was hilarious.

Can you believe we are not outshot 2 to 1, we outshot them actually 12 to 7 and lead 3 to 1?
Where's @Henkka when you need him?

You cant recognise this team. It's only 4 games, but man this team is from another dimension since Lalonde left.

Congratulations to Gustafsson on his 1st.
Maybe the worst period by Chiarot of the season.
A beauty pass by Seider to DeBrincat.
Veleno looks good on 1st line. It seems he and Larkin have the chemistry

 

[RabidBadger]

It's almost like this team could be decent with the right coach.

 

[TheOctopusKid]

Ras needs to be shipped off. He is the most valuable trade asset we have that isn’t core to our team. A GM is absolutely going to talk themselves into “He’s so big and has so much heart and under appreciated offense, I just know I can turn him around”.

He’s our Tanner Jeannot.

 

[JoesuffP]

Yzerman tells Lalonde he wants a defense first structure so Lalonde just talks defense fundamentals for 2 years where I think their comes a point of over coaching when it comes to professional athletes. It’s like all they practiced was D zone coverage

 

[14ari13]

McLellan for Jack Adams???

And having Petry and Holl on PK? They scored.
