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

 

[Austrianwing]

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.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

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

 

[13to40]

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

Down to Detroit

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

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

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

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

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?

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Is it something going on between them?

No, I'm assuming dinger is like me, and just wants to see someone pummel that rat fink piece of shit.

 

[heyfolks]

I'll save my good, bad and ugly for the regular season, and try to be all sunshine.


Husso - First star. WOW, he was GREAT.
MBN - No reason for that guy to go back to the SEL unless it is a maturity, save the body while adding mass thing.
Ajo - Was he not the best D man on the ice for Detroit?
Wallinder - That guy looks like he will make it as well.
Nate - How about this for a camp. You have Kane and Tarasenko on your wings and play center against Crosby and Malkin. From Juniors to this is an amazingly difficult transition.
Watson - Hope he clears or sticks.



ROSTER - Kenny and Mick were laying out that all vet, no rookie lineup (other than Ed and Ajo). Without moving a few vets, it looks like they will stack GR this season.

Mickey - He was definitely in off season form last night. I don't think he had a stat, historical or current, correct all night. Someone get that guy a space heater and heated clothing, including gloves. Ken Daniels - No one better.

 

[RedHawkDown]

Based off the preseason so far I'd want the opening roster to be:

DBC-Larkin-Raymond
Kane-Compher-Tarasenko
Berggren-Kasper-Rasmussen
Watson-Copp-Veleno
Fischer/Motte

Johansson-Seider
Edvinsson-Chiarot
Gustafsson-Petry
Maatta/Holl

Kasper should be able to take Compher's spot after like 3-4 months.
Need to get rid of Holl as he is truly next-level useless.

Watson should be on the team as he provides toughness that we sorely lack and he's actually a decent hockey player.

GR looks something like:
MBN-Danielson-Mazur
Soderblom-Dries-Lombardi

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

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

Both Kasper AND Danielson should make it this year. We can and should make room for them.

Gustafsson-Petry

My heart wouldn't be able to handle that kind of anxiety.
