GDT: Game 45: Red Wings at lightning 7:00 pm et 1/18/25

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Sometimes it's just not your night

It's definitely been one of those nights where a Wings player gets a stick on a Tampa pass in the defensive zone, but it deflects right to another Tampa player.

 

[MabusIncarnate]

Didn't see this coming

 

[dalem177]

And no puck luck this game so far.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I want to see the Wings set a record for most hits thrown in the 3rd period.

 

[brett89]

Everything’s back to normal

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Frustrating one, don't think they deserve to be down 5-1 but here we are.

Then Dally tomorrow, ugh.

 

[KJoe88]

What an oof of a game.

I’ll eat a shoe if we comeback

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

What the f*** is going on tonight? Why is Husso wearing Talbit’s gear?

 

[Chris Langlois]

Id like to see chiarot benched for the 3rd. An example was set for holl id like one set for chiarot for being awful tonight. Also lyon should start the 3rd. The goals aren't on talbot but he also isn't on his game tonight so get lyon some looks to get ready for tm.

Really disappointing to have these types of lapses in games. There’s no coming back from a stretch like that they blew the game in a 5 minute span. They have a tendency to play like the worst team in the NHL for stretches and that’s scary that is in their DNA. We have to eliminate the lows being this friggin low

Currently at work, cooking for the Lions game. Checking the score and damn, what's to blame for this score tonight?

 

[RedHawkDown]

Not watching this one - is it goaltending? Shots look to be us by a lot.

Defensive zone coverage has been terrible.

There's maybe an argument to be made that Talbot could've done better on the last goal. He was screened but didn't do a very good job trying to track the puck around it and had no idea the shot was coming.

But overall, no, not on goaltending. Awful defensive lapses. Tampa making it look sooo easy to score.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

If they can wiggle another 2-3 points out of the road trip it would be a success. But the way other bubblers are getting points maybe not lol.

It's why that Sharks game was such a nut punch.

 

[Chelis Chili]

Lions 7-10 wow

 

[raymond23]

Lions 7-10 wow

Had a pretty easy chance to go up 14-3 and they went 5 wide on 3rd and 1

Sack, fumble, 7-10

Team doesn't want to make the playoffs then the team wants to make the playoffs then they don't again. Did Lalonde sneak in and change the coaching strategy on McClellan?

 

[NervousPerson]

Take it to the net Seider.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Defensive zone coverage has been terrible.

Thank you

 

[SoupGuru]

Come home, Luke!

 

[NervousPerson]

Ken’s celebrating that “They got 1!”

 

[KJoe88]

Zero urgency

 

[LongTimeDRWF]

Thank you

Well, last I check Nat Stat Bolts had 12 high danger chances, have scored on 5 of them, wings have had 25 high danger chances, scored 1, the Bolts making theirs count, but DCat could have had around 4 goals tonight himself, just one of those nights.

I’m really hoping the “big guys take longer to develop” holds true for Rasmussen because he’s really been useless.
