GDT: Preseason Game 7: Red Wings vs sens 10/4/24 7pm et

Hopefully Kane isn’t hurt. I don’t think I noticed him back on the ice after the cross check. But I think it was PK and then OT mostly so he likely wouldn’t have been out anyways.

That was not a great finish. I look forward to seeing the boys actually play like they give a shit with Kasper in the lineup.

 

[ZDH]

Who's idea was it to schedule 3 games on consecutive days? This league is something else...

 

[Dotter]

Fun pre season game to watch.

Powerplay needs to figure some things out fast, they have performed poorly there this preseason.

Yeah not ideal to go 0/8 combined.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

So when is it okay to start questioning lalonde. This has been a reoccurring problem for awhile now under his coaching. The team clearly has issues coming prepared and being focused under him. A ton of blown leads.

 

[ShanahanMan]

we dominated that game lol stop man

What? Is that what you saw?

I'm waiting to see the first 10 games. But I mean you can do it any time you want to.

Not that it matters to anyone here, but I’ve had a big issue with him going back to last season. With the lead we had in points it’s honestly atrocious we didn’t make the playoffs last year and we blew it. We also lost every big game we needed to win. I just do not have confidence in him, and our teams underlying analytics were very bad. Common sense says we will likely regress as we were being carried by unsustainable shooting percentages, and our defense still is pretty bad overall. To me lalonde has always seemed kinda over his head as a head coach.

Won't get any argument from me. I'm waiting to see this team defense they have been preaching to death in the offseason. If they stink it up in the first 10 games and look like last season then I'll fully be on the new coach train.

Don't think I agree with Lalonde seeing as how we were up 2-0 and lost. Do that in the reg season and Stuzle with Tkachuk probably dance on us with that 7 min PP. See how much energy you get then.

Also feel like signing Watson will just push out youth, we already are doing that without.

Doesn’t make us any better. We’ve had plenty of this in the past on ass teams. This whole “grit” thing is so overrated. We need skill, not a guy whose only role is to fight other players.

 

[Holden Caufield]

Give Kasper a spot on the big club.
He has earned it.

Bout 22 months ago.

 

[Euro Twins]

And once again a team with mostly A players is on the verge of losing to an AHL team.

Almost like it's preseason and it doesn't matter

 

[theYman]

Haha this team still lives rent free in their heads even in preseason. Wtf? Is this what we're doing now? Still haven't won a game with basically our regulars in yet. Jesus. Not saying it's all for nothing but....hey I hope to God we keep the f***in puck outta our net more this year somehow
