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

Saw the highlights.

Hopefully they keep it up.

That Kasper goal was one of the nastiest setups I’ve ever seen tbh. I think Kaner enjoys playing with Kasper.

Props to AlJo too. Mrazek still scares me but good for him. CRAZY his last shutout was actually when he was here prior.

That was a poorly worded stat announcement. His last shutout as a Wing was in 2018. He had 12 in between. Roughly 2 per year.

Hard fought games in a fight for the playoffs will be great whether they make it or not. Playing games of no importance is terrible for player development.

However this season ends, let's be glad for competitive hockey.
 
I can't disagree more.
This was a lucky and scheduled win. They played their 3rd game in 4 nights. We didn't play well at all. We can't win many games playing like this.
Before we scored our 1st we had 2 PPs and 3 odd man rushes and no goals. That's brutal.
I have complained about our odd man rushes for a long time. Do you or anyone else remember when we scored an odd man rush goal? This is on Mclellan. He had to fix this.
He also scratched Berggren who is our best 2nd PP player. He did not get an assist on the 1st goal, but it was definitely Berggren who created that goal.
Mrazek has been our best player last 2 games. The team has to play better. He is not a goalie who can carry them for 10-20 games.

Vegas was definitely weak, but it wasn't a given they would take advantage, and they did. They did a good job keeping the lid on chances against.
 
What else bad is going to happen? Can't just enjoy the win hey?
No… keeping in mind that a leopard doesn’t change his spots and a really good game doesn’t make a bad acquisition a good one.

He’s played well since joining Detroit. I’ll give him that. I just don’t really care to read “oh he’s so great!” when a game like this happens and then when, not if he gives up half a dozen to Washington how he is a waste.

Shit, maybe I’m wrong and Petr has his head on more straight than it was before.

Nah, he really is the same goalie. Can get hot for 4-5 and be garbage for 5-10. His numbers weren't bad in Chicago just because of Chicago as Soderblom has a .901 vs .890 for Petr. He is still very aggressive in the crease both to his benefit and detriment.
 
Watching the Canucks/Blackhawks game last night and though I know Chicago's D is bad but they were definitely AHL middle of the pack bad that game

Mrazek being behind our D may still not be the best date, but most definitely better than Chicago's. Maybe ours can be enough for him to do his thing, even if it ain't pretty. You can tell he's happy to be back as he grew his life here
