GDT: Game 48: Red Wings vs habs 7:00 pm et 1/23/25

[brett89]

must win if were going to push for playoffs

If we lose tonight, that's the season.
We could have the chance if we go on another 7 game winning run. I don't see it if they don't fix 5 on 5. PP can't carry them again.
I have to say there are 3-5 decisions Mclellan and Yzerman have made which I don't like at all, and therefore am I very sceptical.

I think we still need a superstar, one more swing in the early half won't be so bad.

 

[DatsDeking]

Missed the last couple games with work and other things. Hoping to catch this one and hang here tonight. Even if it means battling the nonstop mobile ads and sudden refreshes.

Sucks Kane is out but hopefully this gets Tank going…or that the team in general gets back to going.

I keep hearing people talk about “fixing” 5 on 5. How? We effectively have 1 top 9 center on this team. We have like 3.5 top 9 wingers in our best games. There is so much talentless bloat up front that heads should be rolling in the pro scouting department. Copp, Compher, Rasmussen, Veleno, and Tank create zero offense on their own and Tank is the only one who can occasionally finish. Kasper is still a work in progress. There is no internal fix to be had.

 

[Winger98]

I wouldn't worry about buying anyone out until we feel we might actually need the space. Even if we bury Tank on the fourth line or GR next year, it doesn't matter as long as we didn't actually need the space for something.

 

[13to40]

Go wings go. Big home winning incoming tonight.

Time to bring the Canadiens back to reality.

Veleno with 1G and a few helpers tonight against his hometown team.

”fix” doesn’t have to mean ”make them play like the 2002 Wings”. We have seen some minor improvement, but our 5v5 xGF% is still bottom of the league. It should absolutely be possible to get a bit more out of them than that.

 

[Game suspension]

If they lose this game, I think that's the season. I have a bad feeling already, but I have a bad feeling every game

I just think we're gonna get out worked and out skated, and the bounces won't go out way again

Gotta admit if the Habs win this game it is fork time. cuz they are done. Just not realistic they are hopping that many teams to get in the playoffs. The REALLY sad thing is the Habs are a better team.

 

[aar000n]

4-2 wings

 

[KJoe88]

8-2 Wings.

"Montreal is in Detroit today and that means a Canadians high is butting up against a Red Wings low, if you like metaphors about the weather. Usually when two weather fronts meet there are storms and such to worry about, but the only storm Detroit fans are thinking about right now is a potential storm of goals that they might pile up against their opponent to start their long climb back up the advanced slope toward a wild card spot in the Atlantic."

Well we have to do this without Kane. Hopefully Tarasenko is the one who steps up tonight if anybody does. Also saw Veleno is back in the lineup. Why was he out in the first place?

Keep hearing how Watson gives his all and is a great energy guy on the ice and in the room. It's like hmm the Wings could use that.

So why did Yzerman sign him this offseason then if you ain't gonna use him?

 

[OneMoreTry]

Yeah, 4-point-game, we better win it.

Detroit feed via ESPN+ is having issues…Switching over to the dark side to watch.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Damn, Laine almost a goal per game. Would've been pretty cool if someone could've made a trade to grab him a few weeks ago.

 

[dalem177]

Go Larks!

It's back.

Let's goo boys

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Would've liked to see Compher dish to Soder and just drive the net. Instead he just holds and nothing happens.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Man, Compher is brutal.

 

[dalem177]

Joey Velvet steals a lot of pucks.

 

[RedHawkDown]

“Compher carries the puck in himself” horrifying words

Also you people criticizing Seider must be watching an entirely different game. He and Ed are the only competent D. We’d lose every game 10-1 if not for him.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Bro, that Rasmussen block attempt. Laughable.

 

[brett89]

is rassmussen worth anything?

 

[dalem177]

Man. Made a nice roast beef on Saturday and it's still awesome.

 

[theYman]

Good pace so far. Getting some chances.
