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

[JediOrderPizza]

Seider never went anywhere, dudes been holding this team up since day 1.

 

[GMR]

Gotta bank points the next 4 games. Schedule gets absolutely brutal. Of course, I never expected them to win tonight...

The schedule is brutal for whoever plays us.

 

[SantosHalper]

The Toddfather strikes again! Even the unbeatable Jets falls like a house of cards.

What a great hockey night this been, Finland advances to gold medal game and Wings winning streak continues.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Johansson had a few shaky moments but overall played admirably at 17 minutes and on his off side.

 

[FabricDetails]

I can't believe Larkin could still move his legs, Joey was just about dead when Dylan scored.

He was battling with someone and got cross checked in the head. I'm sure he had some piss and vinegar to burn.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Mo was an absolute stud tonight. When people talk about elite players, I really still believe he can become that level of impact. Like Petro in STL.

He can be better than Petriangelo in STL. When this team gets enough depth behind Mo I believe we’re going to hear him talked about as a Norris contender.

And again, what a difference coaching makes.

 

[Austrianwing]

Between Mo and Chiarot they won every big board battle for basically 2 minutes straight. Wings could barely just dribble it out and then fight for their lives again but those two absolutely got it done

Yep. And they seem to have kinda figured out how to work together, which is somewhat shocking to me (in a very good way)

 

[Euro Twins]

Kyle Connor surely you wanna join this absolute wagon in the summer

What happens in the summer?

 

[FabricDetails]

Haha, Lyon. "I made them shoot at the posts."

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

I can't even really describe it clearly but at least twice in that series he reached to deflect an incoming pass with his stick on the front side of the player he's covering, then recovered the puck behind that player. Like Mo chipped the pass to himself.

It was such a heady pressure release as well. Pretty hard for the attacking player in that scenario you don't want to reach and hook him. Great plays.

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

What happens in the summer?

I thought he was out of contract. But seems he's still under contract through 2025-26.

 

[JoesuffP]

Meanwhile Ed is just holding it down on the 2nd pair as a rookie basically solo. Something we tried to make work for half the season

 

[NervousPerson]

Haha, Lyon. "I made them shoot at the posts."

"That's all they had."

 

[Gniwder]

He was battling with someone and got cross checked in the head. I'm sure he had some piss and vinegar to burn.

OK, I was kinda focused on Joey because I was a bit worried when he didn't go for a change.

 

[theYman]

Wow we just knocked off the best team in the league like it was almost nuthin on the road.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Seider with 26+ minutes, 3 apples, 3 SOG, 4 blocked shots

 

[SoupGuru]

Yep. And they seem to have kinda figured out how to work together, which is somewhat shocking to me (in a very good way)

Chiarot is a decent player. He needs to be used in a way that plays to his strengths. I feel like he's a little bit of Brad Stuart. Steady, reliable, physical, and a great compliment to someone else's game.

 

[JoesuffP]

ELITE

Guys, we just beat the best team in the league.

The best team in the east and then the best team in the west.

The Toddfather strikes again! Even the unbeatable Jets falls like a house of cards.

What a great hockey night this been, Finland advances to gold medal game and Wings winning streak continues.

And it was an impressive win. We completely dominated 1st period.

I think Seider is quietly becoming our best player.


Everyone is better or far better undef the new coach. Except tarasenko and Kasper. Tarasenko can't buy one.

We, again, won the special teams battle. 5 games in a row.

 

[Gniwder]

Chiarot is a decent player. He needs to be used in a way that plays to his strengths. I feel like he's a little bit of Brad Stuart. Steady, reliable, physical, and a great compliment to someone else's game.

He's been neither steady or reliable. He plays well with a new coach. I predicted that he would.

Once he finds his comfort zone with the new coach, he'll just do whatever he wants. When that happens, it's up to Todd to correct it immediately.

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

Pistons and Red Wings both looked excellent tonight. Lions have a chance to make this an especially memorable Detroit sports weekend tomorrow!

 

[JoesuffP]

Seider’s defensive game is starting to become super refined and polished he controlled the game that way

 

[14ari13]

Bruins lost, rangers too. Blue jackets won.
2 points behind Ottawa and 4 behind Bruins. Game in hand on Bruins.
