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

We’re going streaking

 

[Euro Twins]

Peg lost their last 2. Let's make it 3. I have faith!

I knew it!

 

[RRhoads]

Two day break coming up, and should be great for the team. They get a real practice in.

 

[FabricDetails]

I keep thinking teams will eventually figure out how to exploit the match up against Veleno but bro hasn't gotten into too much trouble.

[Konnan511]

Weird when you make the team practice for more than a half hour they start playing better.

 

[FabricDetails]

Ew. Todd, please don't say, "He did a good job managing his game."

 

[RRhoads]

We currently have the longest winning streak in the league

 

[AlwaysSunnyInDetroit]

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

2 games in hand on the bruins

He's "holding his own". He did a good job of digging the puck out and getting it to DBoss/Ray a few times today. There's an issue with the transition and zone entry though.... Didn't look like Larkin or Ray expects Joey to rush into the zone, several times where he had to hold up hard at the blue line. Joey's expecting a pass or dump and chase, they other two are looking to drop pass or go across the ice.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Moritz Seider looks like the defenseman who shuts the door in a SCF game 7 en route to a Conn Smythe. When the stakes get higher, the better the player performs

He still has so much potential to reach when he's unleashed the way he's been playing under Todd...

 

[MabusIncarnate]

Seider might have played his best game in a Wings uniform tonight, he was a beast.

That's our future captain

Yeah that's a game where people on the main boards call him overrated, just roll the tape.

He was out for two mins or so to kill that 6 on 5 and made 3 or 4 really noticeable plays

 

[ColdToiletSeats]

Rebuild Complete!

 

[Austrianwing]

He's obviously not used to trying to create offense any more. Hopefully a little of what he did have will come back. In the meanwhile he hasn't been a complete black hole at least. Not much surprised that he isn't a defensive liability.

He’s playing wing. Not much responsibility there. Just forecheck, back check, paycheck baby

 

[JoesuffP]

Only giving up 23 shots to the jets is pretty insane

 

[AlwaysSunnyInDetroit]

bruins, lightning and senators all with at least 2 game losing streaks. we win the next 4, all of which are very winnable, and we're in the conversation for the third division spot

 

[ElProfessor]

Why did Johansson get replaced on the 2nd pair by Holl in the 3rd period?

I thought he was great; didn't make a single mistake the entire game. Holl was of course right in front of the net on their 2nd goal in the 3rd too.

And you barely even notice Kasper in the game? How horrible does Copp have to play to lose that spot?

 

[FabricDetails]

Yup. I just wouldn't have been surprised if he bobbles a few possessions a game but he really hasn't blinked.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

If you're Lalonde, are you at home like "damn, maybe I was the problem"?

 

[Austrianwing]

I suspect it will have to filter in over some period of time. Doesn't strike me as ever quickly re-assessing his conclusions.

Meh. He is who he is. If you're going to fail, might as well do it genuinely.

He'll learn. I think one day he will be able to run a solid defensive-lay-back team. He just didn't have the pieces to do that here.
