GDT: Game 76: Red Wings vs rags 7:00 pm et 4/5/24 (ESPN+, BSD)

[OneMoreTry]

So Perron cost us another game. That’s gotta be this important veteran leadership they talk about all the time..

 

[raymond23]

Fabbri, Sprong, Copp, Seider, Compher? Keep Kane out who doesn’t skate that hard anyways? There’s options who aren’t joe Veleno

Fabbri was on the ice with the first group

Father Time is undefeated

Bad penalty to take however we had a PP right after that and couldn't convert.

Sprong and Copp are every bit as bad as Veleno.

 

[datsyukfan]

I’d be bringing up Berggren for czar right now. Move Perron down to give you a similar look to Rass-Copp-Fish line. Have Berggren up with Ray and Compher

Cat-Larkin-Kane
Berg- Compher- Ray
Perron- copp- Fish
Fabbri-Veleno-Sprong

When we were playing our best hockey Fabbri-Veleno-Sprong was our 4th line and they feasted on matchups. Get back to that. Hopefully Berg and his play making can get Ray going again.

At least Copp can retrieve pucks better and has been producing more than Veleno recently.

Sprong isn’t a great player but if there’s one thing he CAN do is score

Sprong was on the ice.
Compher was on the ice.
Veleno was on the ice.
Fabbri stayed on the ice the whole 2:32. (I missed him in the original post)
Debrincat stayed on the ice the whole 2:32
Ghost stayed on the ice the whole 2:32

People are making too much of Veleno being out there at the end of the game. The Wings pulled the goalie with over 2 minutes left and had their best players out there a long time.

At some point you have to put fresh bodies on the ice.

I agree that I'm starting to see some real flaws in the way Lalonde is managing the game, as has been pointed out putting that line out after our goal just to be scored on and his never using a timeout (out of fear of not being able to challenge imo), more than ever. I just don't think this is a big deal at all.

Copp was on the ice for all 3 goals for last night, though. Probably could've put him out there instead of Joe Veleno. But what is funny is the only reason anyone even knew Veleno was out there (opposed to say, Sprong) was because he was the one that dug in there and had the puck on his stick in the O zone near the end.

 

[Sentinel]

I don't understand why are we not playing Berggren.

 

[sepster]

Copp with Veleno actually had some decent o-zone shifts last night. Apparently, removing the anchor that is Rasmussen from that line actually noticeably improved their effectiveness.

Our veterans are worthless except for Kane.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

You know, come to think of it, Kane was pretty sucky last night himself. (But don't get me wrong, typically he has been great).

We need him to be better.

 

[theYman]

Thought this was Ed's best game so far.

I really thought he was gonna score tonight. That 2 on 1 with Larkin woulda been sweet! I had money riding on him getting a goal. It was like a 5 dollar bet but woulda made a good chunk.

Yeah you could see it in his face at times when they zoomed in on him, he looked frustrated.

I don't understand why are we not playing Berggren.

We need defense. He has a long way. And if he ain't scoring he's almost useless right now.

[Hockeyfan2390]

When Joe f***ing Veleno is on the ice in the dying seconds of a must win game with the goalie pulled you KNOW you have some serious coaching issues.

Or when you're slotting Czarnik between DeBrincat and Kane for tomorrow' game. FFS.

This is insane imo. How are you acting like you want to make the playoffs when you make this move

 

[schuelma24]

That’s… some lineup

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Not really sure I understand those lines, Compher probably had his best game in a while, so third line?

 

[Ezekial]

Lalonde is fried for promoting Czarnik anywhere but to the press box. No Derek, he's not 2-3 inches away from being a regular top 6 player on any team, you are wrong.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

Clown show of a coach and team

 

[sepster]

Debrincat-Czarnik-Kane are going to set the single game record for expected goals against.

 

[GMR]

He's got a hard on for Perron and Czarnik. Two players not deserving of playing time. Same shit we saw with Babcock and Blashill when they overplayed their favorites.

eh, I won't freak out until I see what the lines are for the actual game.
