GDT: GDT#4| Penguins vs. Redwings | Wed, Oct. 18 2023 7:30 PM EST|LCA| Hey, it's My B-Day, all I want is a Karlsson good game...

Thank god NBA season starts Tuesday. I can’t do much more of this boring ass team.

 

[PaulD]

He plays 12 minutes a night. I don't know how many minutes he needs to not play to be good enough.

he should be nowhere near the PK
you don't put a 7th dman out against the the most skilled players on the NHL......every powerplay if every game .
Sully hasn't a clue on that.
3-1 late in second, if the Wings make it 4-1 on pp it's game over. Sully yells "yer up 2" !
Has Rudderless been on the bench for any Red Wing goals tonight.

 

[Turin]

Bring up Hinostroza and Zohorna and replace Ruh or POJ with Ludvig.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Only so much he can do fixing the team Hextall left us.

Not much left from Hextall. Carter and Rakell (and Petry's partial cap hit) are all that remain, and Rakell is a nice piece.

I think this is how they're going to be. When they're on, they're going to look like a legitimate cup contender. When they're off, they're going to be losing to a lottery team.

I think this is just the nature of having a super old team. They can sometimes pull out the talent to play great, but it's much more difficult to do it at their age.

Yeah I think most of us had them pegged as a team that would just make the playoffs or just barely miss them. And that's what they look like.

I was hoping EK would propel them to greater heights than that but so far that doesn't look likely.

I am actually highly curious what Dubas will do if that's the way they look for most of the year. I think he expects more than this from them, and if they continue to look mid, I wonder what the game plan is.

College football and basketball here.

 

[PaulD]

I think that's fair. We love hockey, but we're watching grandma being put in the retirement home.

brilliant

 

[Ryder71]

I feel like I got run over by a truck, ouch!

 

[tom_servo]

Might be fired up enough to make a game of it yet. See what happens.

 

[Rossi Rat]

This board gets really really low on losses and high on wins. Very bipolar, haha.

…well I saw they started 4-0-1 last year and that didn’t end up going so well. Maybe some bumps early on are better.

 

[Turin]

The team really just had one bad period largely caused by its third pairing being godawful yet we're moping about how the team is doomed and there's no point in watching?

 

[66-30-33]

Not much left from Hextall. Carter and Rakell (and Petry's partial cap hit) are all that remain, and Rakell is a nice piece.

This was always going to be a 2-3 year fixing anyway. Atleast we replaced Petry with Karlsson and Zucker with Smith.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

brilliant

Or mum, I'm not an ageist.

 

[Andy99]

This is the type of team we need to beat if we’re gonna be a playoff contender, so this game is very disappointing to say the least

 

[Ugene Magic]

I don't think the team needs anymore film to see why they are going to lose tonight and probably more REAL SOON.

 

[SomeDude]

I would watch this team lose 79-0 every night than watch the most exciting NBA game.

 

[Ryder71]

Told ya.. we needed more scoring depth with bottom 6.

I have been touting that for two years now.

 

[PaulD]

This really tells ya

How bad the Caps are.

 

[metalan2]

The thing that sucks the most is we are likely a win one lose one type of team that plays this shitty style of hockey with an awful goaltender.

I guess some games will be exciting if we have a bunch of goals fall on the PP, but we can't win a playoff series.

Time to bring in the next bottom six to try, this one has run it's course.

 

[Jobeycool]

There has to be someone on the entire Earth playing ice hockey for a decent league that is better than our 3rd liners who is not in the AHL or OHL or a prospect.

 

[66-30-33]

I feel like I got run over by a truck, ouch!

Ouch indeed, I should know I was run by a truck a few years ago.

 

[Andy99]

I turned off the game so that should help them lol

 

[Victor Z]

Bring up Hinoztroza and Zohorna and replace Ruh or POJ with Ludvig.

Ruh can't touch the ice for another game here, but he will. Ludvig is a LH shot and should play the left side, but reports are that they've been trying to make him play the right side as if Ruh is the ONLY one who totally sucks on that pairing and the only one who needs to go.

Break in Ludvig by NOT asking him to play his off side and setting him up to fail, so that Ruh can ride to the rescue when Ludvig does fail.

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

I remember the good old days when 4 posters told us how crazy we were and that the Bottom 6 was going to be legit....
