GDT: Game 40: Red Wings vs sens 7:00 pm et 1/7/25

[The Zetterberg Era]

Which bitch ass Sens player broke their stick on the bench? Haha.

I believe it was Tkachuk but it was during a celebration angle that it looked like he was the one standing over it so not totally confident.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Bummer we gave them a point but oh well keep the W's comin.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Gotta say Johansson lowkey had a very good, confident game out there

Veleno impressed me and ironically scores right when moves back to line 4 haha

Good to see Talbot settle in during the 3rd

I love Moritz Seider. On his way to being a top 5 defenseman in the NHL

 

[ColdToiletSeats]

That was bad coveragr by both Stu and Sanderson but a what a weak call in OT and big divisional game. Refs killed it there Seider was already crousing to the back of the net , there is no way that love tap trips him.

Awesome win. This team is playing for the Toddfather and for each other.

- it's crazy how much they struggle when ed isn't playing. Also him and AJ looked great tonight together! They should stay together and honestly petry just stays 7th D
- the pp continues to be unreal. Love the movement and belief they have.
- talbot had a huge 3rd period.
- showtime is here to play. He looks so revitalized under the new coach. Kane isn't going anywhere despite all the whiners who wanted him traded a couple weeks ago
- Larkin looks like Larkin that we know. Speed, speed. Raymond got him out of his head

The belief is back in Hockeytown! Go Wings!

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Oh hell yeah boys

 

[RedHawkDown]

Ed-Johansson needs to remain a pairing. Johansson played his best game of the season I think.

 

[FabricDetails]

Pa-trick Kane.
Pa-trick Kane.
Pa-trick Kane.

There was nothing low key about it. He has a good partner and some playing time and he played great. Some of his physical game showed and he actually bodied Tkachuk a couple times too.

Give him 5 more games in that spot and it will be hilarious that Petry was ever in the top 4

I wanted him traded. And I don't consider it whining tbh. He was playing awful, and a vet with that kind of experience being petulant is actually a big reason the whole team stopped playing under newsey. Kane wasn't getting his way so he acted childish. That doesn't mean I'm not happy that he's finally playing with a jump in his step again.

 

[RedHawkDown]

Osgood has really come into his own. Super entertaining, looking forward to more from him.

To me, he's always looked small and wispy. He did not look small and wispy to me tonight.

 

[FabricDetails]

Thought he was going to get knocked over like 15 times tonight but kid's apparently been in the gym.

No he wasn't being childish. Where's that info from? The coaching staff was not using him properly. They took all the creativity out of his game.

 

[Euro Twins]

It's coming from my opinion. Based on interviews

And he was not motivated whatsoever in games. Happy that he's back.

You didn't watch the games or interviews? Yes, Lalonde is a bad head coach. Yes, Lalonde getting fired is a good thing. No, Kane being a baby and not trying the first 30+ games is not a good way to compose yourself as a "leader" on the team.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Walman wasn't there to mess up Kane's celly this time, The real reason he got traded!

To me the entire team shared this 'sullen' attitude...It's no surprise to me at all seeing these guys playing well and having fun again...Lalonde was such a clueless goof...Just think if Yzerman grown some balls and fired him over the summer and had McLellan at the start of this season.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Wings 32
Sens 2

I meant 3-2

 

[RedWingzz]

Johansson had a great game. Him and Ed looked confident together.

Would be dumb to put Petry back in the top 4 when he's back. Petry and Holl can rotate in and out of the lineup.

Also, Gustafsson was awful early on this season, but he's actually looked alright of late.

 

[NervousPerson]

WOOOO!!!!!

(Just finished watching the game)

So glad they won that game. Not least of which is the fact that I had to sit through the Sens broadcast. Those homers are close to the Jack Edwards level of commentary. Not one objective comment. I wish Sportsnet+ would go back to choose your own broadcast option.

Talbot looked pretty shaky for a while but held the fort for the rest of the game.

So much fun to watch games these days. Let's go for 6!

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Good, I didn't want to stomach another loss to those scumbags.

Marco, don't let that robbery bring you down. Soon you will score a big goal and then points will start to flow. I fully believe this, especially if he stays up with Larkin and Raymond.

Agreed but at least Larkin, Raymond, debrincat, and seider were still trying

 

[cjm502]

Hawks next? Yeah, that's 6. I wouldn't even consider it a trap game, that would be like saying the Wings vs the Wheeling Nailers is a trap game.

Noodles is one of the biggest homers out there, really hard to listen to. I think he also dislikes the wings from some of those playoff series where he stuck Franzen so hes even worse when the wings play the sens
