GDT: Preseason Game 4: Red Wings at sabres 9/30/24 7pm et

[Petes2424]

I wouldn’t read too much into the lineup in Buffalo.

There were a couple of changes from Saturday’s lineup for the Pittsburgh game tonight as well. Once again, wouldn’t read much into it. They wanna put their kids in some positions to succeed in the preseason, and we’re gonna see some of that tonight in Detroit.

The fact Edvinsson, Compher, Veleno and Wallinder aren’t playing in either game, isn’t anything to read into either. The 3 weren’t scheduled to play in this game and they wanna see Johansson get big minutes in a game. just as they want Kasper, Mazur and Danielson getting big minutes. As of this morning Wallinder was gonna play in Detroit tonight, so that late change made Buffalo impossible unless he hopped in the car himself. Gustavsson obviously needs some solid minutes, after that showing last week.

I'm sure they partially loaded up this Pittsburgh game to make up for the super late cancellation the other day to. Lots of people got there, paid for parking, and then got told to go home. So stacking the home lineup a bit and making sure that people at least get to see the stars and younger potential stars makes sense.

I will say I totally missed Compher also being out. I thought Ed was the only non competition regular out, but with Compher also out it makes sense that they just want an extended look at some of the younger tweener guys. Wallinder is sort of in the same boat but solidly in that GR lineup, probably top pair. He has played well, but it would take a minor miracle to see him on the Wings this year with Aljo out of waiver options.

looking forward to seeing Gabe Seger and the Silver Bullet Band (f/k/a the Gabe Seger System).

 

[Gniwder]

He plays between Kane and Tarasenko today in different game. It's kinda dumb what they do with schedule

Yeah, goofy schedule even before the Pens screwed it up. Too many games in one week. Would prefer a rest day in between each game so the prospects can play more games.

Totally.

Personally, I think the preseason should be cut down by at least two games and they should start the season earlier.

It's up to the teams how many they want to play (within the 6 to 8 requirement).

 

[RRhoads]

I don't mind 8 preaseason games. Gets the conditioning going. I think they will benefit from it, especially the first week and a half in the regular season, where not everyone i close to game form.

This game is already a success regardless of what else happens.

MBN scored.

 

[Realgud]

Soderblom is looking good. Some nice vision on passes to facilitate zone exits and got some scoring chances too.

And it gives more opportunity for young guys to be evaluated.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

MBN has been very dangerous this game. Love what he has shown in this one.

 

[13to40]

Let’s go Elmer!!

 

[Pavels Dog]

Man I hope Elmer has a monster year

 

[13to40]

Lombardi looks promising. Have never watched much of him asides from highlights. Really good vision on the ice. He oozes confidence with the puck too.

Will be nice to see him up with the big club eventually. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was as soon as next season.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Big time ooof by Wallinder. His skating betrayed him on the game tying shorty.

 

[mikerooooose]

I'll never understand how such a huge body can be so ineffective.
