GDT: CandyCanes vs Wings

[Identity404]

Mrazek looking real solid these last three games. Not playing as squirrely as those first couple

James Brown, how do we feel after this much needed victory?

I daresay we may have beat Colorado had he been in net and playing like he did tonight.

Didn't get to watch the game but based on gifs in this thread, it's good to see that Jaccob Slavin is still the best player in the NHL.

Blessings ya'll

 

[DougieSmash]

Aho, Slavin... and Faulk are the best players so far this season. Maybe it was good move to keep Faulk.

 

[bleedgreen]

I’m not adverse to keeping him at all, though it’s hardly a bad thing he’s playing his way to a higher trade value.

I almost want them to move TVR just to get Fleury up and balance things a bit.

I would also like to see different pairings sometimes. Dougie and/or Pesce with Dehaan.

 

[Lempo]

...well that just seems a bit extreme...how does that even work?

Stop making me question stuff I read from somewhere on the internet.

That "Five Monkeys Experiment" Never Happened


Moral of the story: Don't trust clean-shaven Lebowski.

michael ferland is something this team has needed badly for a long time and is going to cost us a lot of money. it's an interesting case study in the development of a power winger to look at his trajectory. building on each successive season, earning progressively more trust and icetime. ferland and martinook have had such a positive influence in the amount of jump we have up front.

Ayy got the GDT win!

So unfortunately the morning skate plans I mentioned earlier didn’t get to work out. Justin Abdelkader wife said something like, since the Wings are having a rough go this season they haven’t wanted random guests as practices. But still some fun experiences came from tonight.

Sat by the glass rockin the Canes jersey during practice. McBackup faked me out acting like he was about to toss me a puck and then gave it to a little Wings kid. Was kinda funny moment.

Near the end of practice I made eye contact with Svech. Gave him a little head nod and he winked back at me (bromance is now alive and well) 30 seconds later he tossed a puck over the glass to me.

The tickets we got for the game came from the Abdelkader’s. We were surrounded by the Wings player wives and families during the game. Spoke a little with Darren Helm’s wife and Dylan Larkin’s parents as we were sitting between them. Everyone was so nice even tho I was rockin the Canes uniform. But boy did it feel slightly awkward to be surrounded by these players families during the game. I normally yell a bit at games & defintely stand + let out some screams when the boys score. But felt like I couldn’t do much of that being surrounded by them

Ended the night at the pizza bar that’s a part of the stadium. Really awesome place to grab late night eat and drinks after the game. Totally hit it off with our bartender, grabbed her number haha. Think I got me a date tomorrow night.

Side note: Little Caesars Arena is a beauty. And was quite surprised how cool downtown Detroit is. Not as dumpy as I always thought it would be.

 

[CandyCanes]

I expect at least (1) PP Canes goal & a perfect PK.

I just realized they actually listened

 

[VAcaniac]

Please jesus let the PP and Faulk heat up. That would be awesome.

 

[Stickpucker]

Mrazek looked like he was trying way too hard and had a lot of nervous energy that first game where he was constantly 10 feet from the net but has felt pretty solid since.

I don't recall any bad softies or saying glove side high.

He seems way different from Cam who was really calm then would go oopsie. Mrazek is really intense and you can feel it.

 

[Stickpucker]

Really wanted to see Slavin score when he deked through 3 Wings and pinged the post.

Otherwise Happy with the game.

Not sure if the tv coverage picked it up. But when the empty netter was scored he let out a huge blocker punch to the sky in excitement. He definitely plays with some intensity.

 

[JCLA]

Underrated part of the EN Goal was Slavin out waiting the last defender to bite until he fed the puck over to Martinook

Slavin makes me tingly...

 

[Breakdowns]

Holy shit that save by Faulk was amazing.
Also 2nd PP goal was a nice play.
And Detroit is really bad, like dogshit bad.
But we won, hey hey hey

 

[HisIceness]

Slavin is a national treasure.

Aho and Ferland are also national treasures.

 

[RodTheBawd]

Slavin truly is one of the best, puck moving dmen in the NHL.

You almost got it right.

 

[The Faulker 27]

You almost got it right.

As in you don't think he is a puck mover, or you don't think he's one of the best?

 

[SlavinAway]

As in you don't think he is a puck mover, or you don't think he's one of the best?

He thinks he's one of the best dmen in the league period.

 

[The Faulker 27]

He thinks he's one of the best dmen in the league period.

He must have missed the comma.
