GDT: Red Wings @ Vancouver Canucks - 10 EST

[Grimm]

Not a slew foot, not even really a trip to me. Glad the boys wanted to stick up for each other. But I think Glendening will be surprised when he sees the tape.

Yeah, Luke really showed him...

 

[Ezekial]

Frk was credited with the goal so Tanev technically own goaled?

 

[Grimm]

There's no way this gets overturned right. RIGHT!!!

 

[TheMule93]

I hope they give that to mantha... He pushed it in using tanevs stick. It's a long shot haha

 

[Reddwit]

What a sneaky clean-up play by Mantha. Love it. Could’ve gone either way on the goaltender interference with the way they call it sometimes but don’t think it really interfered with Marky’s ability to make the save.

 

[Grimm]

Abby turning down DD. Yuck

 

[TheMule93]

We're really lucky they haven't scored

 

[Ezekial]

Vanek shootin shit with the boys amid the scuffles.

 

[Claypool]

We're really lucky they haven't scored

Ugly period of hockey all around. That last play where Athanasiou tries to go end to end only to turn it over is pretty much the reason he's on the 4th line tonight.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

It's depressing through the course of the period how few times the Wings actually exit their own zone with possession.

Their zone exit strategy seems to be "high and hard off the glass. Repeat as necessary."

 

[Redder Winger]

The previous time, the puck got knocked to Zetterberg and Frk scored.
This time, it's not Athanasiou's fault there are no defensemen anywhere close to being in position to catch the speedy Vanek.

 

[Ezekial]

Puck just gets lost in the sea of humans.

 

[SoupGuru]

AA halfway out of the zone

 

[Claypool]

AA halfway out of the zone

Worst player for Detroit tonight.

 

[TheMule93]

Why is AA playing center? He's garbage there

 

[theYman]

Nobody had Sedin. Was that AA's guy? Terrible net front d.

 

[SoupGuru]

I like these Red Wings that don't take shit after the whistle in their own crease. It's refreshing for once.

 

[theYman]

Well this where our guys legs are tested in the 3rd on 2nd night of a back to back.

 

[SoupGuru]

Nice D, Tatar

 

[theYman]

They let a chump like Del Zotto score?? Jesus

 

[Claypool]

Nice D, Tatar

Second worst player on the ice for Detroit tonight.

 

[Grimm]

I'm going to start calling Helm "Flippy" because all he freaking does is flip the puck out of the zone every time it touches his stick. What a contract!

it's better than what he used to do: stickhandle the puck at the blue line and turning it over

 

[Redder Winger]

Athanasiou lost Sedin trying to help his teammate cover the other Sedin, and his man scored.
So he's benched.

 

[Redder Winger]

Worst player for Detroit tonight.

What game are you watching? The game where Abdelkader misses chance after chance after chance?
Where Larkin turns the puck over at midice for a breakaway?
Where Kronwall passes backwards to create a near 2-0 against?

Athanasiou isn't the first player in NHL history to leave one Sedin to go cover the other, only to have the puck go back to the other for the goal.
Welcome tot center ice in the NHL kid.
