GDT: Panthers @ Red Wings - 12/11/17

[I am not exposed]

Howard is looking sharp

Detroit had success for many years up until a few years ago when they missed the playoffs and now they are in rebuild mode. The Blackhawks had thin attendence before Kane and company came to Chicago, Pittsburgh suffered the same fate before Crosby. One of the worst in the leauge in attendence. Now those same fans rip on us for not showing up to games.

One of the Detroit commentators criticising the ice time of Florida players.

 

[StrangeVision]

I'm not sure I've ever cared less about a fight. Just a waste of time.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Haley acquitted himself well there. Show that ZZ Top looking motherf***er what's up.

 

[PsychoPanther]

Reimer 3+ goals in the last 6 games he's played, yikes.

Niemi didnt waste his time here and gave Reimer few lessons how to suck.

One of the Detroit commentators criticising the ice time of Florida players.

Also called the Wings 90s/early 2000s dynasty stars "grinders".

Not sure if serious.

 

[Deadmaus]

I swear the Panthers are legit the same hockey team from that movie goon with Sean William Scott. Haley just has to fight every badass in the league

 

[vendetta]

Maybe I was being too specific listing them.

Rather, he's a non-factor, imo. He doesn't hit, he isn't defensively reliable, he isn't clutch, isn't a shootout specialist, can't kill penalties, isn't a playmaker, doesn't make anyone around him better, doesn't shut down the opposing teams, isn't dominating physically. What does he do well?

He's just one of those guys who will have a nice career and collect money being a guy who can score here and there and nothing else. We need people who bring value in different areas be it a PK specialist, a center who hits people and is defensively responsible, etc.

With his skating ability and size he should be a menace to play against but he's the softest player per inch and pound in the league.

Being one of the best 5 forwards every single game and usually top 3 is a non factor? Ha comical

I think he was saying that team had grinders who were important. Although he didn't mention any names of those grinders!

 

[Bennie Aggy]

Stanton wasn't talking about the Marlins when he called it a circus show he was talking about The panthers lol. Maybe this is as good as it will get with south Florida pro sports. Clown show all day long.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Lucky bounce there.

 

[I am not exposed]

Points game! Woo!

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

I don't think I can blame anyone but Reimer for that one. Weak shot.

 

[StrangeVision]

drats

 

[vendetta]

C'mon Reimer. That was weak

Back pressure was good from forwards too and he kept backing up into slot ..

He's not though! He's never better than Barkov, Tro and Huberdeau. Wasn't better than Dadonov either. And even if he was one of the better forwards, that doesn't say much when everyone says we have no depth.

 

[Bure1096]

Reimer with a softy... Tallon, as a supporter of yours, please make a trade.

 

[RainingRats]

He shifted to the left, giving the middle of the ice away, just like he did against McKinnon. Except this was about half the speed.

 

[vendetta]

Uneventful period decently played but Reimer couldn't get it done

Well your biased but he's been better than tro and dadanov quite often to those who don't have a blatant and biased hate on the guy

Reimer helps the tank.
