GDT: Game 5: Red Wings at preds 2:00 pm et 10/19/24

[The Flying Octopus]

Are the Wings ever going to stick with a goalie and let him ride it out for 3-4 games and get some confidence and rhythm ? It’s amazing LaLonde keeps going to his same BS roster decisions, like he’s scared to be great.

Le Sigh...

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

I mean, literally what I just posted. How does that even go in?

 

[JediOrderPizza]

And a point shot, you see what you did @JohanFranzenstein

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

A friggin knucklepuck from the blueline scores. WTF.

 

[Bob Probert Owns You]

All because the Wings can't complete a f***ing tape to tape pass. It's f***ing pee wee hockey basics.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Never realized how good a career Luke Schenn has had. 1000 games played. Two cups. Second all time is D man hits...still only 34.

 

[The Flying Octopus]

Genuine question.

How come nearly every single team we play against seem to get very clean shots on goal from the outside or the point, yet when our D or fwds shoot from the same "low percentage areas" it gets blocked up front and or turned over?

Mostly bc they do too much before they shoot it. They are way to cute for a team w marginal skill compared to other teams. Like I said last week, this team does not score good goals most of the time and most of their goals are off broken plays, rebounds, versus quality scoring chances. It’s very easy to see.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Has Gus generally played on his offside? I know the prevailing opinion is he's been awful but I haven't seen a lot of him.

But so far this period his passes have been like he's using the wrong-handed stick.

I like that play from Berger. Shoot low far pads so the rebound kicks out to the other side. But he needs some teammates going to the net.

I don't think the Wings do that enough.

 

[Filppula]

Seemed like an unnecessary dump in by Kasper.

 

[RedWingzz]

we suck so f*****much

 

[Bob Probert Owns You]

Can someone please act like they give a damn on this team?

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

This could get ugly.

 

[norrisnick]

Did that fall out of the glove a la Statue of Liberty?

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Fire Lalonde.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

At first I thought Lyon just missed the initial glove save on the wrist shot, but it was redirected by a Pred player in front of him. Because of course it was.

 

[The Flying Octopus]

Defense is absolute garbage. Matta chasing high, just absolutely house league BS.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

I shoulda bought nosebleeds instead. The wings look out of it today.

 

[Filppula]

Maatta and Gustafsson is an absolute disaster. Laughable.

Johansson healthy scratched though

[JediOrderPizza]

Looks good to me.

 

[saska sault]

Yah I was going to give him more time but I'm done with Gus also.

 

[dalem177]

That's off.

Now: Get yer schizz together, boys.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

To be clear the offside review is stupid. It's not about this goal getting called back.

But the NHL made offside even more ambiguous by letting the skate being in the air as long as it's behind the plane of the blueline. They should've kept it where you have to have your skate down because that's easier to determine.

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

This team could really need a no nonsense coach. Lalonde seems like a good guy, but going into his 3rd season the same lax nature seems to be all thesame.
