GDT: Game 3 | Detroit Red Wings @ Columbus | 7 PM EST

Someone's slacking if I am starting the GDT thread



I am having trouble understanding, we lost to a supposed lousy team with Bemmer and Roslovic in the lineup and then won to a supposed good team when they were healthy scratches. Why are we rushing to put them back in the lineup so quickly?

seems like pazzy is going to rotate guys in and out if they don't have spots totally locked down.

i don't think the kuraly line (regardless of who has been on it) has been very good over the first two games. vincent may be tweaking that line specifically to see if it's better off as a pace/grind-it-out line (foudy/olivier) or if having two other carry options (roslovic/bemstrom) makes it more effective.

the good news is that the better cole sillinger looks, the less ice time the kuraly line will get. kuraly has been playing 15+ minutes a night the last two years, that's down to 13 a night so far. ideally it's closer to 11.

It's fairly simple, we lost the first game despite Bemstrom playing ok, and won the next game despite Foudy and Olivier playing much less than ok. I think Roslovic was better than them too but maybe that one is marginal.

Roslovic provides skill but thats definitely not a usual 4th line for what we've seen for awhile now. Looks like a line that I could see getting low minutes again.

Of the four players in question, Bemstrom is the one whose play has made him the most deserving of a lineup spot. At this point the other 3 can all rotate through the one remaining spot, until one makes a notably larger impact than the others.

My guess is it depends more on which Roslovic shows up. If he's on I think he'll help a line whether they're rush or forecheck oriented. Speed and shot is sometimes all it takes. And if he's off it doesn't matter what type of line you put him on.

Predicting huge Jackets win!

3-1 or 4-2 in OT

Ron Hainsey hat trick!

Martin's appearance last game helps my nerves when seeing him listed as the starter today. We also get Reimer in his first game of the year. Detroit has played good teams but have given up 8 goals in 2 games.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say tonight is the night Fantilli scores his first NHL goal. I wouldn't put money on it but it could happen.

I like the confidence

I don't think they lost first game because of Bemmer and they certainly didn't win the 2nd game because of the 4th line That line was just bad vs NYR even in the first two periods when all 3 other lines were doing from ok to good.

I think Roslovic was bad in the first game, but Olivier & Robinson weren't really any better in the 2nd, so the changes make sense to me.

 

[cbjthrowaway]

I think Roslovic was bad in the first game,

it was one of the worst roslovic games i've seen – he wasn't engaged at all.

the fact that it was the first game of the year, at home, proves that he needs to go.

but Olivier & Robinson weren't really any better in the 2nd, so the changes make sense to me.

it was foudy in the second game, not robinson, but yeah.

 

[Old Guy]

I hope we cream those punks!

Still to the last game. Tex's pass:

 

[Seedtype]

It is a cool pass, but it's too slow to be really that useful, IMO.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

IF we lose this game, we'll look back on this one as the one that cost us a playoff shot

This happens far too often. If management is serious about building a winning culture, then Roslovic-despite being from Columbus- needs to be waived or given away with 50% retention.

Simply put, he's not a winner.

entirely disagree.

My ticket partner dipped last minute, so if anyone wants to sit with me in 207, let me know!

 

[Halfboard]

Jarmo seems to always be suffering from extreme constipation

 

[I3LI3]

apparently we’re a bad team according to red wings’ board

 

[Napoli]

It is a cool pass, but it's too slow to be really that useful, IMO.

Give him some time to perfect it

Jury is still out on that one. Tonight should be interesting. Feels like this team will disappoint after a big win, hope to be wrong.

 

[ViD]

This one really might go either way
