GDT: Game 53: Red Wings at canucks 8:00 pm et 2/2/25

[Steve Yzerlland]

Holl is not an NHL defenseman.

 

[theYman]

It's amazing we're winning this game. Somehow lol.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Should be Holls last game as a Red Wing

 

[Lampedampe]

This guy is earning 3.4 million...

 

[Leibinger6]

If you’re Todd, there’s no way you can put Holl in the lineup again after that play.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

He's making like 4.8M next yr. About the same Copp, Compher and Chiarot would all cost us.

I'd rather give up Berggren to get rid of Tank's contract than an Yzerman 2nd Rd pick.

An extra 4.8M could be huge in FA this summer


The return is not having to pay TaraSucko next yr

We have enough space to get anyone we want. I'm not trading Berggren just because.

 

[norrisnick]

You can tell we played 20 hours ago.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Justin Holl drank a fifth of Jack Daniel’s before the game…

You can’t convince me otherwise.

C'mon that's not fair at all.

Holl makes over $3 mill a year. It might've been something more top shelf than Jack Daniels.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Wallinder isn't better than Holl? Or anyone else in GR? How is this guy in the lineup?

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

You're killing me Tank.

 

[burbankmarc]

Why have many SOG when few do trick?

 

[Air Budd Dwyer]

Boy, you can really tell the Wings played last night lol.

 

[norrisnick]

Pop a Red Bull during intermission and survive for 20 more.

Speaking of Red Bull, reminds me of that first game back after the '06 Olympics and Homer was the only Wing Swede to play. He said he had 4 Red Bulls throughout the game.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Tank is thinking about that milestone too much.

 

[Christien]

Wings barely getting by in this game. Need some good shifts from the top line

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Glad to get out of that period with the lead.

 

[ElProfessor]

We have enough space to get anyone we want. I'm not trading Berggren just because.

I'd rather have Soder and Mazur as our 3rd line wings...and Berggren and Tank gone.

If nothing else...and it could be a lot else...getting rid of Tank gives you almost $5M to put towards Copp/Compher's buyout

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Last nights game had a much better pace.

 

[Euro Twins]

I'll be happy how this road trip went. However I'm not too crazy about being so badly outshot again lately

 

[lhsgolf19]

They are running on fumes

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Tank is thinking about that milestone too much.

Totally agree. They need to give him some sort of cash reward every time he gets a shot on goal.

Just shoot it. Don't think. And don't take forever on the windup.

 

[LongTimeDRWF]

He can't even dangle his own teammates. Guy is scratched x10 when Petry returns

I guess you didn't see the news...Petry is out 6-8 weeks, so likely gone for the rest of the season

 

[norrisnick]

Tank is thinking about that milestone too much.

He needs an ENG like Ray fed to Larkin a few weeks ago, but f*** putting Tank out in a defending the lead situation...

 

[ElProfessor]

Wallinder isn't better than Holl? Or anyone else in GR? How is this guy in the lineup?

Trade Berggren and Tank for a good AHL DMan

Yea I don't think anyone should be coming to knee jerk opinions while watching this. All of our fowards have about the same ice time right now. Coach is clearly managing the strain of 3 games in 4 nights. I thought Holl had been out there more, nope he still has the least time for all dmen. His minutes just stand out as shit
