GDT: Game 39: Red Wings at jets 7:00 pm et 1/4/25

[dalem177]

It is crazy that they have more shots in the first period than they had some games. And against the best team in the league.

That 1st period the Wings had the kind of swagger that makes the hottest sorority chick practice kissing the 2d hottest one in front of you before she does her thing and then makes you a sandwich.

Can it last?

Go buy more bread.

Not really. Stevie hired Fester, so it's his fault.

In fact, he owes us an apology for one year of really shitty coaching, and missing the playoffs.

nah. steve gave a promising assistant coach a chance, gave him the personnel, didn't meddle, gave him enough opportunity to work it out, pulled the plug before the season was toast. i can't fault him for any of that

 

[Our Lady Peace]

That set play by Larkin firing it off the end boards to a streaking Raymond to beat that icing and get a shot off - was something you would never see the boys pull off under previous coaching

The caved the Jets in that period. Won't last all game, so stay disciplined, and stick to frustrating their D 200 feet from your net

This is the best period of hockey I’ve seen the wings play in the Seider era. Considering the opponent

Difference of being outshot 2 to 1 and out shooting 2 to 1.

Lol at Copp for not being able to take the puck away from someone without a stick.

It was hilarious. How did he manage it? He made one unbelievable pass though. I was is it really Copp?

everyone in the red wings downfall thread owes steve yzerman an apology

What for? Needed 3-4 months to see what the problem was?

I was never keen on hiring a collegiate goalie as head coach, especially because Blash was also a collegiate goalie.

Defensive boring shell game. Not to mention that story about how Fester wanted to bench Kuch. He really knows how to demotivate players to the point of uselessness.

What is big Buff up to these days? I love watching his hits on youtube. He was one dense motherf***er. And not in the disparaging way but in the "he's clearly made of concrete and lead" kind of way.

 

[KJoe88]

Not saying we’re going to win this game. We probably won’t (shhhhhhh)

But Jesus H Murphy Derek Lalonde is the worst coach this team has had.

 

[Ulysses31]

was watching jets broadcast during 1st period, pretty actually but then the CBC national intermission started

How many drinks have you downed so far?

I jest. Great analogy I suppose

 

[14ari13]

To be fair, the Wings are probably the most motivated team in the league right now, and that is about the most difficult opponent mid-season.

Did you see that pass by Copp? I couldn't believe it was him.

That set play by Larkin firing it off the end boards to a streaming Raymond to beat that icing and get a shot - was something you would never see the boys pull off under previous coaching

The caved the Jets in that period. Won't last all game, so stay disciplined, and stick to frustrating their D 200 feet from your net

They got 2 players injured. Are they ba k?

How many drinks have you downed so far?

I jest. Great analogy I suppose

Four.

Cheers

A couple. But swagger is swagger.

Damn. You must have had fun in college

team missed the playoffs by a tie breaker. it was a valid decision to see if he could improve on that. didn't work out, made the change and we're still in the hunt. go wings forever

yeah that was one guy I always wished we could pick up -- in his younger years, before he smoked a ton of mary jane and ate everything

if I recall correctly he "retired" while still a serviceable player, just up and quit one day, I think all of the playing and practicing was harshing his mellow

Damn. You must have had fun in college.

I wish!

We'll know when time travel has been invented when a bunch of 12-14 year-old boys start showing up to school with light bruising and the same story: "This old fat guy jumped out of the bushes and kept trying tell me something about girls and finance and I wouldn't listen and he got angry."

I thought he had some lingering ankle injury and things got a bit contentious with the Jets.

Buddy was coming into camp like 40 pounds overweight.

 

[HoweFan]

Winning 1-0. Outshooting them 17-7. WTF!!!

 

[Gniwder]

Mickey must be a blast to drink with

 

[theYman]

17 shots in the 1st period! There's games we haven't had 17 shots all game. Lol

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Rough start for the Wings this period. Unsurprisingly Winnipeg is coming out flying.

 

[MabusIncarnate]

Yeah it's real nice combining for more than a dozen shots by the 3rd

 

[norrisnick]

Pretty sure Buff is on the Pro Fishing circuit.

 

[saska sault]

Not a fan of Stanley.
