GDT: Game 29: Red Wings vs canes 7:30 pm et 12/14/23 (ESPN+, HULU)

[dalem177]

I'm just a dipsh*t with a keyboard but, to me, the only Red Wing who looked like they showed up to play tonight was Ville Effing Husso.

Did he bumble a play? Absolutely. Did the rest of the team fail to counter his one bad play with some good plays of their own? Absolutely.

Unlike most games, this was an O problem, not a D problem.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Didn’t they acquire DeBrincat to score? When is he going to finally do it again?

 

[RRhoads]

3 games in 4 nights.

Sometimes one has to credit the other team too

 

[RedWingzz]

This shit started with the San Jose game. Ruined a good win streak.

looks like that collapse ruined the season

Your negativity is laughable

Your negativity is laughable

we've won 1 of the last 5...how am I supposed to be positive?

Wouldn't go that far. We need guys back, and goaltending. Husso took a step tonight but like someone else mentioned, also shot himself in the foot so it's a "meh". 52 games to go, still lots of time to iron out the issues or figure if this ship isn't sailing to the post season. But it is incredibly frustrating to watch at times as fan... you know they are better than past years but make similar lapes at times.

28 Games into the season, dude you're trying too hard

28 Games into the season, dude you're trying too hard

our division and conference is pretty competitive

and its 29, but I already know math isnt your thing

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Seconded. I'd rather have Abdelkader return from Switzerland and take his spot.

I take comfort from the teams below us also losing.

incredibly frustrating indeed....

I want nothing more than success for this team, but I just feel like we're going in circles and stuck in the middle.

on to the next one I guess..go wings go

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Things are tight, most teams are a middle team right now. Goofy NHL season thus far.

Justin Holl was horrible tonight. I felt like every time kane was on the ice he had either maata or holl on the ice who literally only dump pucks out. Our D just has no transition and it was obvious with how stale they were in this game. 4 losses of the last 5 and you have to wonder what it's going to take for Yzerman to put his big boy pants on and move a dman to bring up edvinsson finally. Keep waiting and it's gonna be too late. His poor decision making is costing us points and it's super frustrating!!

I wish that one of our reporters would ask Yzerman/Lalonde about this.

"Hey, you have 4 D playing at a clearly subpar level and a blue chip D prospects tearing up the AHL. When are you going to ice the best roster available to you?"

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Husso, more like BUSTso.


That second goal was dogshit.

 

[Gniwder]

Larkin and Compher both practiced today?

Dude, there's not a single team that's gonna look great without their 1C and 2C. Take away McDavid and Draistl and the Oilers look like an AHL team. Same with Crosby and Malkin, etc, etc.

Didn’t they acquire DeBrincat to score? When is he going to finally do it again?

When he has a center not named Veleno or Copp. Hopefully next game.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Tough loss, but I will gladly give this one game up if we can get Husso's confidence up and he plays like that the rest of the season(minus the one flub).

I know it might take a little time, but we need some of these almosts with Kane and DeBrincat to start turning into goals. Start clicking you two, especially Cat, he needs to end this drought.

I literally said this to my friend tonight. Reporters need to start asking tough questions to put more pressure on the staff.

They won’t because then they’ll lose access.

 

[DamonDRW]

I said before the season started that the fate of this team depends on Larkin. If he is healthy we make the playoffs if not, we don't make it.

He is our only star carrying the whole team.

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

Why on earth are people expecting the Wings to beat quality opponents (especially those with strong bluelines) without their first and second line centers? Serious f***ing question here. Someone give me an answer. Any points we get without Larkin and Compher in the lineup is manna from heaven.

I honestly thought it was going to be much worse.

Half the time I wonder if your posts are serious or if you are a subtle troll here.

Seconded on this. We aren't going to beat the Dallas and Carolina's of the NHL without Larkin and Compher. Saw how much we missed them in the dot tonight.

 

[Ezekial]

Hard to build any momentum when the other team reads how we try to get out of our zone most of the time. I get that they have set plays, but why do them blindly?

Rod even said it on the broadcast, they saw tendencies and he told them to hit them

Kind of like what Lindros did to Brindamour’s wife.
