GDT: Game 46: Red Wings at stars 8:00 pm et 1/19/25

[datsyukfan]

Wings just have a bad D. Just tired of watching clowns like Holl and Chiarot keep screwing up. Hard to believe Stevie Y gets paid a lot of money and does nothing about it.

This D-core is god awful. They are bad at both moving the puck as well as simply defending. Just atrocious and it’s on yzerman he’s done an awful job in FA and trades. Would be so much better just having walman and Ghost here over all these other clowns they ice every night

I watch because I like the team too, but clearly you have a hell of a lot more patience than me. After that tease of a winning streak, it really sucks watching them revert back to losing, and looking awful.

Kasper is not pushing this team towards being a contender, neither is MBN, neither is Danielson. That's probably our 3rd line in 2 years. None of those players have elite offense.


Well, for one, MBN has 5 goals, and Danielson has 4, in leagues that are MUCH worse than the NHL

Lucas freaking Raymond scored 6 goals in his final SHL season before heading to the NHL

 

[norrisnick]

Don't have patience for the team... but have enough patience to still be posting about them on the internet. Something tells me wanting the team to be better is not the motivation to keep posting...

 

[Chris Langlois]

Stevie needs to make a damn move. I cannot stand watching chiarot play on the top pair. It makes me want to puke. We need a top 3 D to play the 2nd pair so Ed can come back to the top pair. And holl has to go too. Until then this is what we will get when things aren't going perfect.

I had a lot less patience under Lalonde. The team responding under McLellan restored alot of faith... that can change but at least they look like they belong in the league again. As for the prospects... none have shown elite offense but development can be fun. Grand Rapids fans have been raving about Danielson lately, slow burning type prospects can still improve their production as they got older and into tougher leagues.

Also recreational cannabis helps me not yell at my TV as much.

settling for muffin shots from the blueline isn't gonna get it done.

Could have had Eiserman too

 

[SoupGuru]

This Wings roster is not as bad as their record at the beginning of the year. It's not as good as the 7 game winning streak either.

 

[datsyukfan]

Literally generating no good chances.

good lord not this again...

Would they not be a lot better?

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

We didn't get offside review because of Duchene. We got it because of the totally incompetent linesmen who worked that game.

 

[SoupGuru]

If they do actually change the off sides criteria, what will Kenny yammer on about incessantly instead?

 

[datsyukfan]

I don’t think they’ve had 1 scoring chance 5v5

 

[norrisnick]

Why of all people pass that puck to Chiarot? And why Chia, do you take that shot?

 

[RedHawkDown]

Could have had Eiserman too

Why would you want another shit player to add to the list of shit players you think we have ?

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Would they not be a lot better?

Them being better or not has nothing to do with reality.

Ghost signed a 3 year deal with Carolina. You can pretty much guarantee Yzerman wasn't offering him 3 years. Walman was not traded for his on-ice performance.

Yet you act like Yzerman held a press conference and said "Holl and Petry are awesome so I've decided not to re-sign Ghost even though he would've played here for any contract. And I paid to trade Walman because I think he sucks and these guys are much better."

 

[norrisnick]

Honestly, the D we miss the most is Maatta.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Honestly, the D we miss the most is Maatta.

I was thinking Lidstrom.

 

[SoupGuru]

I was thinking Lidstrom.

Or the one-two punch of Lilja and Lebda?

 

[RedHawkDown]

Montreal just tied it too.

 

[KJoe88]

Or the one-two punch of Lilja and Lebda?

Can’t believe we won a cup with those guys.

And to think here we’re are now with imo a better defensive core and still suck.

But.. then again. D and Z… lol

 

[datsyukfan]

Holl has a chance to give us a 2v1 and he takes forever to make the play FfS

 

[Austrianwing]

Or the one-two punch of Lilja and Lebda?

Bykov and Marchenko obvs

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Ras being weak on his skates pays off

 

[KJoe88]

Ras being weak on his skates pays off

I’ve been such a huge advocate of his.

But lately man he’s just… I wish he tuned into Franzen-lite even.
