GDT: 10/22/2019 Game 9: Vancouver Canucks @ Detroit Red Wings (7:30pm EST)

[The Zetterberg Era]

Stop with the cute slap passes. Put the puck on net and crash the freaking crease gentleman.

 

[RedWingzz]

Hirose's shot needs a lot of work. He gets nothing on his shot at all, he shoots like a beer leaguer.

 

[RedWingzz]

That was a really nice sequence of individual puck control displayed by Athanasiou. Would prefer it result in a shot on net though.

AA is gonna break through soon. He's gonna score this game, I'm pretty confident.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Just rolled on him unfortunately.

 

[Snuggs]

Not real sure Virtanen should want to go with Svechinkov.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

This should be AA time at some point

 

[saska sault]

Svech with more attitude than Abdelkader shown in the last 3 years combined. Love it... Good job kid.

 

[RedMenace]

When do we play Carolina? I want to see some Svech on Svech violence.

 

[Sadekuuro]

Not real sure Virtanen should want to go with Svechinkov.

Yeah, that was weak how they interceded, I was looking forward to him pulping Virtanen.

 

[Hen Kolland]

I will only accept positive things be said about Svechnikov, even in unfortunate circumstances.

Geno’s mobility looked pretty strong there.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Not real sure Virtanen should want to go with Svechinkov.

Virtanen is a pretty big boy, but he gives up some reach. Svech has a lot of length and knows how to use it from the couple times I have seen him fight. But I think both guys would know what they are doing in that tilt.

 

[Hen Kolland]

Atta boy Cholo

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Great play Cholo, love that he took the space.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Just rolled on him unfortunately.

Horvat also hooked him around the hands.

Remember the brief time when they were calling that a penalty? those were the days...

 

[Snuggs]

This should be AA time at some point

His time was last year, Red Wings had a chance to sell high all summer.

Seriously though, whats a comfortable contract in your opinion?

 

[Kronwalled55]

Feels good to get the special teams going

 

[theYman]

Cholo in the house!!!

 

[FMichael]

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

ohh Helm...

 

[deca guard]

what a between legs pass by mantha , thinx quick + soft hands = 8X8

 

[raymond23]

Mantha's size and skill is almost laughable lol... its just ridiculous

 

[Hen Kolland]

Mantha’s shot has always been known and displayed at time, but his awareness has been on display more and more since the world championships.

Not sure, he keeps playing like this and I don't honestly know what you do.

He has been better overall tonight, so I guess that is a good sign. I think what will hurt AA is Mantha is likely going to get paid and I am not sure him and Ferris are going to understand the difference and push for a similar number. I would pay Mantha considerably more than AA. Just a reality and while I hope Mantha gets done for around 7 million long-term. I think AA is in the 6 per range, but he keeps not scoring and 5.5 or somewhere around there and possibly below has to enter the equation. His trick is very enticing, but you see it at times like this where when he can't get the puck going in he doesn't bring a whole lot else to the table unfortunately.

GMs don't have time for AAs inconsistent play; he'll get traded to someone who thinks they can straighten him out for picks and/or protects, then everyone will lament his leaving whether he pulls it together or not.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Glenny with the nice move and off the crossbar!

 

[Hen Kolland]

So uhhh, that was a really impressive rush by Glendening. Even by the advanced standards he’s set for himself this year.
