GDT: Game 64: Red Wings at knights 10:00 pm et 3/9/24 (ESPN+, BSD)

[Filppula]

On a positive note, Seider bounced back really well tonight. Ras had a great game (hope he hasn’t broken anything), and Burgers looked dangerous.

 

[theYman]

Copp needs to be gone. He sucks basically at everything

 

[schuelma24]

I think a win tonight could have propelled them to a good week, but now I’d bet on the opposite happening.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

He’s more physical and has a higher battle level than he’s given credit for. He’s actually a pretty tough player for being 5’8”

Ok? But he hasn't been doing shit lately. He needs to score or he is worthless.

 

[RedWingzz]

That'll do it.

Wings still control their destiny. If you wanna be a half glass full person.

its over...

in a matter of 12 days, we went from having a 10 point cushion on the wildcard race to done. That right there is the Red Wings way. What a pathetic collapse on the season. This organization is a failure, but you'll still find a good 50% of the fanbase reminding you to trust the Yzerplan lol

this team just disappoints every year

 

[Bondurant]

Win was there for the taking but VGK took it.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Oh, Sprong is in the lineup

I legit did not notice him at all.

I'm not a doomer but I feel like this streak is going six and we snap it at home against the Yotes.

 

[DatsDeking]

Kane needs to be on a different line from cat for now. He spends every shift trying so hard to set him up and cat just can't bury anything right now. Gotta change it up. Especially on the pp.

This is so frustrating to watch. Our team’s PP identity has completely fallen apart since Kane joined. This is not a “Kane is why we’re losing post” but damn does our team defer to him on EVERYTHING.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Copp needs to be gone. He sucks basically at everything

Hated the Copp signing! The guy is a plug.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Copp needs to be gone. He sucks basically at everything

14 W 2 losses on faceoffs tonight. Finished the game with an assist and +1

 

[SoupGuru]

I mean, we could just not care about a hockey team. Sometimes it feels like that would be easier. But games like this make you appreciate the victories. The ups the downs... it's a silly game. But, damnit, just f***ing win now and then

 

[datsyukfan]

And by points percentage they are now out of a playoff spot

Ya they probably aren’t making it at this point. Larkin injury is probably gonna put them on like a 9 game losing streak. This team is horrible without him. Nobody has stepped up. Cat, Kane, Raymond has went ice cold since he went down

14 W 2 losses on faceoffs tonight. Finished the game with an assist and +1

And cost us at least a point by being a Pejorative Slur and sending the puck over a gaping wide open net. Lol

 

[DatsDeking]

I’m beyond frustrated with this team. It drives me crazy how we can tear it up in for a full month then drop back down to the bottom of the league for another. It’s wild.

 

[FabricDetails]

That's now 5 losses in a row...

And like this losing streak, Bruh Man, you got to step.

Next 6 are all very winnable and right now going .500 seems like a stretch

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

If Larkin played we win this game tonight. We are so f***ed.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Next 6 are all very winnable and right now going .500 seems like a stretch

The Coyotes game was the most winnable game and look how that turned out.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Murphy didn't want to say Murphys law lmao

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

And cost us at least a point by being a Pejorative Slur and sending the puck over a gaping wide open net. Lol

He has Darren Helm hands for sure. It's amazing to see all the ways he doesn't score, but he's not useless. This is still a very middling team and without him taking faceoffs and being defensively responsible the Wings would be even worse.

Offense has not been their problem this season. Defense has been.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Reimer has been solid lately.

 

[RedWingzz]

I mean, we could just not care about a hockey team. Sometimes it feels like that would be easier. But games like this make you appreciate the victories. The ups the downs... it's a silly game. But, damnit, just f***ing win now and then

games like this make me depressed, weve been losers for 8 years now.

I think I need a new hobby, because this one isnt working, and it makes me more angry and sad than happy

 

[datsyukfan]

Next 6 are all very winnable and right now going .500 seems like a stretch

Those 2 Buffalo games are not easy. They are playing much better hockey than their record, wings will be lucky to take 1 of them. Silly me to think they were gonna finally make it back to the playoffs. This team may be the most infuriating team in the league

 

[jaster]

If Larkin played we win this game tonight. We are so f***ed.

If you're ok with a goalie consistently allowing 2+ soft goals every start, I guess.

He makes impressive saves, but he's woefully inconsistent, even for a goalie.

 

[datsyukfan]

Reimer has been solid lately.

He let in 2 goals on 3 shots in the 3rd. Ya he was good early but this team isn’t getting a save lately
