GDT: Game 43: Red Wings vs sharks 7:00 pm et 1/14/25

Not trolling. He’s a net negative to the lineup and an offense killer.

He’s been tremendous since being put with 71 and 23

 

[ElProfessor]

I disagree. He was definitely in range to make an effort for a defensive play.

I thought Kasper was playing the puck correctly. Tarasenko also playing the puck and having no idea there was a man behind him was the issue.

 

[JoesuffP]

Rookie mistake we shall persevere. Wouldn’t mind Berger on the first

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

I swear, I cannot handle another breakaway goal from Nico Sturm. F*** off!

 

[Euro Twins]

The problem is Lyon is still injured and Talbot cannot play every game. But husso should be playing 0 games. Next injury, I vote we call up cossa. He can't be worse than husso and I get were making a playoff push but give him the chance to prove himself in the NHL. He's the future of our goaltending.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Not like this Wings.

 

[KJoe88]

Sharks last wins came against the Devils and Lightning two weeks ago.

That team definitely shows up against teams ‘better’ than them.

We’re going to see what this team is made of in this game.

If Detroit wins this, it will HAVE to be 4-2. Sharks can not score another goal.

I am not condoning it once the play went to shit, I just don't think he had a lot left in his legs to burst across. He still should have tried, typically you can count on him doing that.

Tarasenko's job is to force the play to the wall, if Kasper cannot free the puck in the double team he is to shade towards the middle to protect danger sweeping across and checking the ice. Instead he goes for a skate, he isn't the first NHL player to do it, in fact I would guess almost all of them have. It's an unfortunate sequence, he also likely gets bailed out if the goalie hasn't torched his groin so many times he has to pick up his leg instead of sliding to seal the post.

What happens if it's 3-2?

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

So let me take you into the Red Wings locker room:

A pall hangs over the room as McLellan glowers in silence; he lights a Chesterton and flicks the spent match into Copp's face -- without a flinch he allows the ember to hiss and die in his sweat.

McLellan lunges forward and grasps Tarasenko by his dangly bits, and lifts him off the floor, pinning him to the wall, drops him, and next moves on to Kasper. No words are spoken during this intermission; the only utterances are guttural screams and primal grunts. Just before the start of the second period McLellan snuffs out his Chesterton in the blood that's pooled on the floor.

Oh. I think I may have misunderstood you.

I definitely think Tank made a bad play. You’re right though it was an all around poopy play.

Then everyone gets a puppy

 

[izlez]

Glad to see Kasper getting no called out on here for that effort. That was UGLY.

(Not that I agree with ShanahanMan, obviously)

 

[KJoe88]

Then everyone gets a puppy

What kind?

 

[Euro Twins]

Then everyone gets a puppy

f*** ya! I want a puppy! Just not an ankle biter please. A blue heeler would be awesome!

whoa whoa -- language dude

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Did Kasper think it was offside on that 2nd goal? He literally didn't make any effort to get over and he could've easily done so. I'm very confused.

I have no idea. I watched the replay. Total miscue by both him and Gus by the net. The only thing I can think of is he was worried about an odd man rush?

Beautiful.

I was just gonna say that McLellan always looks like he just flicked a cigarette into the gutter and turned to the camera.

 

[RRhoads]

Tank!

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

WOOOOO

I told you Todd grabbed him by his dangly bits WOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[The Red Line]
