GDT: Game 67 Red Wings vs knights 1:00 pm et 3/16/25

[LongTimeDRWF]

I see no one wanted to try to hit Elmer just standing in front of the net on a whistle...

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Rasmussen has the Offensive IQ of a squirrel and plays like a big one.

 

[SantosHalper]

Dang, im late! I thought the game started now

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Boys got their legs under them early today. Although, Vegas looks tired.

Yet they still can't score a goal

 

[theYman]

God how many times is Tarasenko gonna miss the net? What happened to you? I don't expect a 30 goal scorer anymore but not a subpar bottom 6 forward

 

[deca guard]

love seeing papa kane baby sitting kasper , couldnt have a better 'developmental coach' . ands exciting to see how high an iq'ed player kasper is , that d'cat-kas-kane line has iq thru the roof

 

[13to40]

Love that shot by Kane on the 2on1 with Larkin.

More often than not this team tries to make the pass instead of taking the shot. Giving up too many scoring opportunities that way.

Pretty good first period against a real good team, hopefully they can pop a few in the net in the 2nd.

And I never thought I’d say this, but I’ll say it again, happy to see Mrazek in nets for the wings…

I think he has two seasons. If we don't start moving forward with McLellan, I think Yzerman gets moved and the new GM picks the new coach.

Wasn't it stated from the beginning that for McLellan, this season is some measure of an orientation? It was a write-off as of Christmas with Fester.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

I wonder if Yzerman is looking at the PWHL for a defenseman

 

[theYman]

Ras was pushed in

 

[SoupGuru]

What are you doing, Ras?

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Whatever.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

What are you doing, Ras?

I won't ever complain about Ras going to the net.

I don't remember. I just don't think Yzerman gets to pick another coach. If things go sideways and we haven't progressed in two years, I think that's when we see the house cleaned.

 

[deca guard]

what a joke , the knight pushes ras into goalie + goalie gives ras a face shot = ras gets penalty

 

[SoupGuru]

Maybe Ray needs to take a maintenance day

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Its goalie interference when you are pushing into the goalie?

 

[13to40]

Maybe Ray needs to take a maintenance day

Hopefully that blocker to the face wakes him up. Need this 6’6 friendly giant to start playing meaner.

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

it is called comparison by example. I've seen first seasons of Fedorov, Datsyuk, Zetterberg. Also seen first season of Filppula. At very best, if everything goes well, we are getting Filppula out of Kasper. Which is nice but far away from 2C on a cup winning team.

“Ive seen the first seasons of three very legit 1Cs. So I know that Marco Kasper can’t be a 2C.”

Fedorov, Datsyuk, and Zetterberg were stars. They could all eventually end up in the Hall of Fame. What the hell is the comparison?

And Filppula was a 66 point C in his prime. That’s absolutely a 2C.

People have these weird standards that just don’t align with reality when it comes to how a team is built.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Maybe Ray needs to take a maintenance day

To maintain what exactly?

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

To maintain what exactly?

Lucas Raymond is probably the best player we have on the roster right now. Hes saying that maybe you give him a night off so he can rest and not get ground down

 

[theYman]

Ras comes out the box looking gracefully there lol. Almost tripped someone as he falls down.

 

[SoupGuru]

To maintain what exactly?

Raymond is typically tenacious and assertive. These last few weeks he's been making bad decisions, gives up on plays, is pushed off the puck easily, and looks gassed.

 

[JoesuffP]

Larkin still sleeping
