GDT: Detroit Red Wings @ Toronto Maple Leafs - 7:30 EST

[Redder Winger]

Glendening has 8 minutes of ice time and has he been on the ice for a goal against?
Sure, he's $500,000 overpaid - but he's decent at what he does.

Want to gripe? Why does Abdelkader have 16 minutes TOI - 2nd only to Z

 

[dragonballgtz]

abdelkader might truly be one of the worst players in the NHL. Hes a 4th liner that gets 10min a night on any other team.

And he is all our for another 5 full seasons

 

[Winger98]

my stream for this game kinda sucks and I think it might be a blessing for this game.

It's been choppy for me all night as well. Usually I try to watch from within Kodi instead of Chrome, but Kodi has been having issues just playing the stream,

 

[Ezekial]

Finally Blash is like, hmm maybe I shouldn't have changed the FML line...

 

[RedWingzz]

How bad is Abdelkader?

I actually laugh at how bad he is when he's on the ice. Some of the things out there that he does makes you wonder how he plays in the NHL. Not only does he play in the NHL, but makes over 4 million per year and wears a letter? Comical.

Kronner is painful to watch as well, but he has an excuse. He's old, and has had many injuries. Abdelkader just sucks at hockey.

 

[Redder Winger]

Toronto in prevent mode. Good chance for Detroit here.

Two defensive zone turnovers by Jensen on one shift right there.

 

[TheMule93]

ever since last year, Zetterberg has tilted the ice like he hasn't since 2011 or so. Truly remarkable.

 

[Christien]

One step closer to Dahlin atleast

 

[raymond23]

Larkin and Zetterberg and everybody else.

 

[Martinez]

Well, another good effort, we just aren't good enough

 

[Ezekial]

We had 6 guys on the ice for that?

 

[Reddwit]

Hilarious possession.

 

[RedWingzz]

One step closer to Dahlin atleast

The sad thing is, we are nowhere near as bad as Arizona/Buffalo/Colorado.

We will probably end up around 22nd-24th, and pick around 7 or 8 in the draft, and get another Rasmussen. (not knocking Ras, but he's no superstar)

 

[RedWingzz]

Howard lets in 3 goals on 4 shots, and Mrazek gets the loss.

That rule really needs to change.

 

[Ezekial]

We can get a fine player at 10 this year.

10 the spot were drafting... Calling it now

 

[Redder Winger]

Game over.
Well. At least Mrazek gets socked with the loss **** up his stats even more and bury his chances of remaining a Red Wing.

Jensen with 3 defensive zone turnovers in the final 8 minutes of the game

 

[TheOtherOne]

Not much point in bitching about our skaters when our dynamic goalie duo lets in every shot. A .885 save percentage would have got us a tie.

We could have had a guy viewed as a top 5 talent last year at 9.

 

[dragonballgtz]

Stupid, time to pull the goalie by Trashill. Your possession line, Zetterberg, just ended a shift and you expect Larkins line to hold possession? Larkin's line is good on the rush but that's it.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Mrazek didn’t play that well again (at best he was average) Larkin was good

 

[Redder Winger]

Howard lets in 3 goals on 4 shots, and Mrazek gets the loss.

That rule really needs to change.

Agreed.
It should be like baseball.

If you're behind when you come in the net, you should never take the loss unless you regain the lead and blow it.

Dumb rule.

 

[Dotter]

Toronto has horrible defense. It has to drive Babcock mad how bad they are. Detroit was the better team and probably would have won had Howard played like he's capable of. TML have a long way to go before they are contending.

 

[Redder Winger]

Mrazek didn’t play that well again. Larkin was good

Mrazek played pretty well. First shot had eyes.
Made several great saves.

Blashill has an interesting call to make for Washington.

If he chooses Howie and Howie blows, now Howie is on a 3 game slump.

 

[Ezekial]

We could have had a guy viewed as a top 5 talent last year at 9.

We'll see how he looks when he gets back from injury before I'm mad about Rasmussen, Vilardi's a middle six winger in my mind, hopefully a 2C - which I was fine with on draft night and disappointed when we didn't get him.
