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

[ShanahanMan]

I don’t know how to feel. We look so much better but playoffs I think are pretty out of the picture. I don’t want to pick 15 again :/.

would have loved to see someone go after werenski after that subtle little punch to the face of raymond at the end there

 

[raymond23]

Werenski is a beast. He's carrying that team.

That was the best performance I’ve seen this season against the Wings

Remaining schedule is really tough.

Subtle?

 

[chances14]

Subtle?

i don't think anyone on the ice noticed it

Ray did...

 

[dalem177]

From the McLellan thread...



...I'm just saying, it's Hot Toddy time!

I'm taking ALL the credit for this one!

Likely too late in the season to lead to a playoff birth and unfortunately probably getting another ~11-14th overall pick… but like every single player on the team looks better without Lalonde

 

[aar000n]

That was fun.

 

[chances14]

Ray did...

well yeah of course he did lol

 

[LongTimeDRWF]

Remaining schedule is really tough.

But when you are almost last in the league, your schedule is always going to look tough, a lot of road games to be played to be sure, but given the start to the season, far from out of it at this point.

 

[chances14]

Wings have outshot their opponent in all 4 games since mcellan became head coach. definitely a good sign going forward

I mean... We started January with 4 points less than we started last January. And we ended last February something like 9-12 points clear of a wild card spot.....

 

[DanielMarois]

I think the issue of making the playoffs this year is complicated by the fact that OTT and even MTL have improved a lot

Sure, but we have to leap like 5 teams to be in a wildcard spot.

It’s going to be awfully tough

 

[Pavels Dog]

Dare I say Gustafsson is looking pretty good since the coaching change.

Hopefully Ottawa will have their annual February/March losing skid so they miss the playoffs again.

 

[HoweFan]

Yeah the schedule is tougher but so are we. Way to go guys

Well Ottawa is losing right now and it's currently a 4 point gap between 6 teams. And we just beat columbus

 

[izlez]

Remaining schedule is really tough.

…there are 44 games left…

That’s great. They’re all still ahead of us. Among other teams.

 

[schuelma24]

Split Jets/Ottawa, then you get the worst 2 teams in the league (Chicago/SJ) and Seattle at home.

Then the schedule sucks, but baby steps.
