GDT: Game 51: Red Wings vs canucks 1:00 pm et 2/10/24 (ESPN+, BSD)

[RRhoads]

I have noticed that my mood is much better on days after wins than losses.

 

[Go Wings]

Maybe the best game of the season. It was clear the nucks didn't want to lose 3 in a row. There were goals, hits, fights, saves, intensity... everything.
And that Hughes kid is amazing. I have not seen as exciting a player as Hughes since Datsyuk. He completely controlled period 1. Larkin went after him, Pettersson after Raymond and DeBrincat fought.Yet this board is deafening quiet. I wonder if people watch hockey or just read trade idea and prospect threads.
Chiarot and specially Kane struggled, but not even close to Maatta, it seemed like he didn't play hockey in 5 years, not 10 days.

Makar is better than Hughes and Hughes cost Vancouver with that stupid crosscheck in OT.

Maatta wasn't great but he was still better than Ghost who was awful.

Honestly, it'd be kinda fun to see a serialization of Plausible Keats, based on which teams we're playing. Assuming we make it, and we play the Rangers, maybe a bit of history of our playoff battles. Florida, all about the various plants and animals native to Florida that can kill you. Tampa, a rundown of record-setting storms, etc.

And if we miss, you can always stow this idea away for next year.

Last season the majority I based off of geographical or historical comparisons - St. Louis and Detroit both began essentially as fur trading camps/forts, for example - this season I've been trying other stuff. It's enjoyable in a weird way.

It is between Hughes and McDavid for me. They are on another level.

I think Maatta played 12 min only, the least by all defenders

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Yeah Qughes is nasty. I don't expect that level but hope one of Ed or ASP can look that dangerous from the point.

Mo is a beast but that is def one of his weaknesses. Like one PP drop pass he made, three nucks on the blue line backed off and he had room to take it in then pass to a winger for entry. But instead we do the same old telegraphed drop pass and the forward failed to enter. You think Quinn Hughes is dropping that shit back?

 

[SoupGuru]

I'd also like to point out that Fischer had another good game. I think he's been great for us this season in the role that he's been asked to play.

I will disagree I think Makar is the best defensemen in the NHL and better than Hughes.

I think Ghost was far worse he kept giving away the damn puck. But we got the win so that's all that matters.

Yeah, Ghost has been a net negative in all situations lately. Not great on the PP anymore. Too many giveaways at even strength. His focus is gone.

Trade for Hanifin plzktnx.

I think the bigger Hughes mistake was letting Walman get behind him for the breakaway in the first place.

As for Ghost, he's been a nice addition overall this year but I don't think the Wings need to re-sign him. It's time for some kids to step forward.

 

[Geezer WC]

Great game to watch, it felt like a playoff game.
That was a huge win for Detroit coming off a long layoff and getting Chiarot and Kane back was nice too.

The cherry on top was me rubbing in Canuck fans faces and getting kicked out of the thread

Kicked out of a thread? Did you bring up the Cam Neely trade?

Some guy said the I should worry about my team making the playoffs. I said that he should worry about them not setting Vancouver on fire after they lose in the playoffs

 

[Ezekial]

Don't post lame stuff in other teams game threads. I wouldn't want them in ours.


Edit: if it was a game day thread on the mains then do whatever you want buddy.

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

I think that exchange was in the main board thread. There was a lot of middle-school level trash talking in there.

 

[Astyanax]

It’s called an “orgasm”, and it’s classy

Love it!!! Made me laugh.

Ok, it was the finals and a little unexpected for Canada. But, let's remember what happened in detroit after the tigers won the world series and in Chicago after their championships (collectively!!) So, just maybe a little harsh?

Harsh, sure. But I could absolutely see a first round matchup of Vancouver and LA, with the Kings bouncing them early.

We'll see how the city handles it, but despite their regular season success thus far, I don't see the Canucks as quite ready for a serious playoff run.

Detroit sets itself on fire every year before Halloween anyway. What's one more?

That '84 Tigers win was neat though. I was at UM on the footbridge over Washtenaw walking from Mary Markley down toward the diag when I heard a low roar build and sweep and echo through town. Then car horns. Cool sound. Cool moment.

Go home Jeff Petry. You’re drunk.

 

[Man Purse]

LOL....

I'm home (home sweet home Detroit!)

my shot is harder than a 3 peckered billy goat (fyi)

not to mention... I was the first D in 3vs3 OT for 6 seasons as well
