GDT: Game 47: Red Wings at flyers 7:00 pm et 1/21/25

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Oh yeah, we didn't get a PP.

I did see a replay of Kane taking a butt end to the face but apparently that didn't qualify as high sticking.

 

[JoesuffP]

Seider has been real bad these 3 games man. Looks like Lilja in the offensive zone and pucks are going right through him defensively. PK falls heavily on his shoulders too. That’s a lot of minuses

This was as bad a 3 game stretch we’ve had this season. They are just not engaged. Not willing to do the hard stuff

 

[Chris Langlois]

I'm starting to be bothered by some todd father things.

Why the eff is compher on the ice in ot?? He's awful and not even good on faceoffs. One thing lalonde did good in ot was literally only play seider and edvinsson. Gustufson shouldn't be out there in ot either. Compher, teresenko don't do anything to justify ot over kasper or even elmer honestly.

This season is just done. We can't win enough games with guys like compher copp rasmusen chiarot petry and holl on our team. Yzerman needs to man up and get rid of these guys and call up the kids. Look at Montreal. I'm just sick of this bs.

Other than a clear interference in the 2d period I didn't see much deserving of one.

 

[DanielMarois]

This is what I thought may happen, the winning streak was just a temporary new coach bump. Still a good move though.

 

[JoesuffP]

We have more talent than the Flyers they are just playing gutless hockey. I think we lose those 3 games against any team in the league with the way they played and that’s often the case. Never had a chance in 3 straight games

 

[Chris Langlois]

Edvinsson was tripped and then like 10 seconds later cat was tripped. Kane was butt ended. And there was a hook near the end of the 3rd. 4 pretty clear calls missed

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Well, it’s a point.

 

[Austrianwing]

Eye was twitching something fierce seeing Compher out there with a 38% FO in the offensive zone there earlier.

Spoiler, he lost it.

I was thinking exactly the same thing when I saw him lining up. "Wait, why do we have Compher taking a facoff here? He's going to lose it"
Sure enough...

 

[Sadekuuro]

Larkin says they were crashing the net, getting rebounds, getting greasy... did I watch the wrong game?

 

[Austrianwing]

I did see a replay of Kane taking a butt end to the face but apparently that didn't qualify as high sticking.

Maybe because he's only 5'10" they decided it was just medium sticking?

I forgot about the Kaner stick-in-face.

 

[NervousPerson]

Larkin had a bad game.

Would have liked to have seen Soderblom in OT. He was skating better than 11 and 37.

I asked this in a previous GDT and didn't get an answer, but is there a softer team than the Wings in the NHL?

 

[Bob Probert Owns You]

Soft as butter.

No, there isn’t a softer team.

We have a team full of Ned Bradens, minus the goal scoring.

 

[JoesuffP]

I’m not going to blame our 3rd line center why we look like one of the worst teams in the league all of a sudden. Larkin and Seider drive the bus and Seider is out there for a whole lot more goals against than goals for and a historically bad PK. First guy I look at is your #1 shut down defender playing the most minutes. We like him. I like him but I expect more from him if we want to be a playoff team next year. Allowing the pass on a 2 on 1 like you weren’t even there should be embarrassing because his defensive play is the only reason his name will ever be mentioned near a top 10 defensemen list

 

[Our Lady Peace]

It's hard deciding what is best for us. Like if we won 3/7 games during that streak we would be at 39 points and tied for 3rd least points. Clear path to the bottom

The East race is so unpredictable and I know virtually every team around us is on a heater. With that being said we could go on another 4-5 game win streak a couple more times. Then again we could also succumb to the strong schedule we face

Not sure what happens here on out, just don't wanna miss the playoffs by a hair again

 

[DanielMarois]

Surprising that MTL has already passed the Wings in the rebuild. And they have a stud in Demidov who is not even there yet.

Disagree man... He looked like one of the few players who wanted to bully the Flyers out of their own building. Nearly everyone else wanted to play pond hockey in a game that needed to be grinded out. Even Ed was in outer space here and there

 

[DanielMarois]

I wonder if it’s dawning on McLellan how little talent he has to work with.

Good thing his hair already grey.

I would never have said we’d win 7 in a row so who knows, but this was one of the 5 or so easiest games left on the schedule. wings could play decent hockey and still lose a lot of games…

 

[ColdToiletSeats]

Lalonde sleeping good tonight

 

[Ulysses31]

it was a decent effort, ppl obv wouldnt b so critical if they won the OT.

 

[SoupGuru]

Was Larkin drunk?
