GDT: Bobcats vs. Red Wings 7pm 1-18

[MBH]

So, can't blame these two goals on Howard.
This is where coaching/team morale come into play.
This team doesn't react well when things go the wrong way.

 

[Red Stanley]

Panthers schooling us so far.

 

[Lampedampe]

What we're witnessing this season is a combination of terrible defense, terrible offense and terrible goaltending.

 

[SoupGuru]

I'm thinking the Red Wings may not have the best defense.

Well, when your best defenseman takes himself out of the game for 7 minutes, bad things can happen.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

17 shots is a lot in a period.

 

[Lampedampe]

Osgood not happy with how the guys are treating our boy Howard tonight

This is how Howard has been treating the Red Wings all year.

Exactly, I don't know what Blash is thinking. He should have ran out on the ice and threw the puck into the stands. Take a penalty to save a goal.

 

[MetalHeadRedwingfan]

Not even watching the game. Let the onslaught continue. Bring on Gallant.

 

[DatsDeking]

I thought we looked really good offensively at times. Thought you were gonna get the first one for sure.

All year, Blashill has talked about the team being fragile.
That's a mindset.
Team mindset and coaching go hand-in-hand.

 

[DetroitRed]

Uff!

Well, big rebound before the second goal, but I counted 16 shots by Florida. I'd say the team got a little unfocused late in the period.

Helm has a wide open look in the slot in the PK and doesn't even get a shot.
If he scores there, it's a totally different period.

 

[DetroitRed]

Hoffa?

Carter.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Howard couldn't make it out the period with a clean sheet Lol. Was just about to compliment him...

Lately, if he plays well enough to stay in the game, that's good enough for me. And I'd say he had a mostly respectable period.

The breakaway goal I didn't count against him. For the second goal, of course, there was a huge rebound, but I wouldn't say the defense in front of him was great in that sequence. They kept him pretty busy that period anyway.

 

[MBH]

I think the Wings could counterstrike here. Florida started globetrotting around for awhile. That tends to backfire on teams.

 

[DatsDeking]

DYLAN!!!!

How far we have fallen...

 

[Nut Upstrom]

I missed the first. What went on with the Hronek fight?

 

[SoupGuru]

Deke to the backhand didn't work, deke to the forehand does.

 

[DatsDeking]

The lip reading on that little scrum hahaha

 

[Hen Kolland]

I missed the first. What went on with the Hronek fight?

Trocheck hit Filppula cleanly. Hronek instigated a fight pretty plainly. He got the major plus 2+10 for instigating

 

[Nut Upstrom]

Notice! A f***in snip show!

 

[SoupGuru]

I missed the first. What went on with the Hronek fight?

Someone hit Flip solidly and Hronek dropped his gloves to step up and they danced and no one really landed anything before the linesmen stepped in.
