GDT: Preseason Game 5: Red Wings at penguins 10/1/24 7pm et

[RedHawkDown]

So in @ShanahanMan ‘s world this should be our opening night lineup because they beat the full penguins lineup ha

You beat me to this post

ESPN+ calming ambient commercial break sounds are a resounding from me.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Danielson pots the game winner off a Crosby turnover.

How delicious.

Pens should also send Crosby and Malkin down in favor of the clearly more effective youth from the minors.

Danny-boy! Between the pipes, the pipes were calling!

Just as good, great defensive play by MBN to cause the rush.

 

[dj4aces]

That Danielson kid looks damn good. He's definitely making it hard to assign him to GR.

 

[lilidk]

Husso actually looked good tonight

Very good and even pipes helped him

 

[raymond23]

Husso played a full hockey game and let in under 3 goals, what a miracle

Nice to see Danielson get the GWG with a beauty. He hasn’t had the best preseason but that should go a long way

He’s the only reason why it wasn’t a big L tonight for the boys.

Thought Elmer had some good flashes again too. Nate big time game winner.

Amadeus finally nets one.

All in all a good night for the team’s promising young prospects

He didn't just net one. It was a absolute beauty

THE PENGUINS SEASON IS SO LOST WHEN THEY WILL LOSE RED WINGS CARBAGE PLAYERS LIKE THAT.

 

[Henkka]

If we can have just ONE 2nd rounder become something it would be nice.

Lombardi is a 4th rounder. Kind of Tampa special, guy outside from 1-2 rounds like Point or Cirelli.

They missed the playoffs and their biggest offseason acquisition was Matt Grzelcyk. 2 yr extension for Sid means no tank for 3 more years. Gonna be a long rebuild for Pens and Caps.

THEY STILL LOST A PRESEASON GAME.

Watson wanting a fight and nobody coming to the call. Lol

Not so much the fight part, but I would take the Watson that played tonight as the 13th forward on this team. He finished the game with 12 (!!!!!) hits and is actually good defensively. I think the issue with tough guys in the past like Kostin and Smith is that they kinda sucked on the defensive end, and for where they play in the lineup Lalonde wants a guy he can count on to not get scored on. Kostin should still be here but he didnt have a chance of playing PK which is what I think Lalonde wants in a tough guy

I think Danielson has looked really good, but he hasnt done anything really to make me say he should skip the AHL completely. Kasper has defintely out played him. Danielson has shown some really, really good flashes though

Last night watching the game I was thinking the same thing about a tampa guy, but I was thinking he reminded me of Tyler Johnson. Smaller, 2 way forward thats really tenacious on the back check and gets a lot of takeaways off of it

Don't read me wrong. Never said he shouldn't spend time in GR. Just saying he's making a case to stick around. Maybe he gets a ten game audition before being sent down, but ultimately I think he'll be with GR for the majority of the season.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Sign Watson immediately. Even if he plays ~20 games for us against the rough teams

 

[wingerdinger]

Sign Watson just to play against Ottawa and tell him to go after Brady Tkachuck.

Is it something going on between them?

 

[OneMoreTry]

No, I guess he‘s referring to the Wings still getting pushed around too much by the Tkachucks of this league.

And yes, would be great to have a 4th liner who can stand up to these guys AND be able to actually play NHL-level hockey.

When was the last time we had someone like that?
