GDT: Game 6: Red Wings at isles 7:45 pm et 10/22/24

Man, that was a special game.

If someday we have to learn how to protect leads, it happened today.

That looked like greatest Team Finland defensive efforts.

Yeah, the offensive game will come later on, but let's learn the defence first. Lyon did see all shots, so guys were doing a great job taking those anderslees away from net-front.

Also, can't deny I love seeing Patrick Roy with a red face on final minutes - and losing.

This Gonna be a long season if the only way we're gonna win is by generating no offense and depending on shut outs

getting outshot 2-1 in every single win isn't exactly sustainable

it's only 6 games into the season so there's plenty of time for it to change but so far the Wings have the worst analytics in the entire league other than Montreal in basically every single category

That's interesting case from analytics.

But Red Wings have 2nd best xGF% (57.5%) at NHL, when the score is tied. So when we are hunting the lead, they will be generating offence.

We go on this ultra-defensive shell-mode only when leading. And if we lead early, the overall statistics will look "brutal".

Lyon 1st star
Edvidsson 2nd

Boring game.
2 shutouts after 6 games. In both games the goalies were great, but they didn't stand on their head, which is a good sing maybe.
Berggren creates a lot, but nothing good comes out of it.
The biggest game of the season so far is obviously the next game, it will be the appropriate measuring stick.
