GDT: Detroit Red Wings at Tampa Bay Lightning

[theYman]

Haha. The Islanders are beating the Bruins of course. Wouldn't be surprised they pass us soon.

 

[Geeve]

Lol at the intermission, missing helm and abdelkader, yeah that must be it, not the terrible coaching or management. Blashill can't even get two solid scoring games in a row with his icetime decisions. Or an average PP coach, timeout and setup and did nothing, wtf do they practice?

 

[rx7dryver]

Icetime update through 2 periods:

Sheahan #1....woooooo.

LOL that is bad. Jensen with more time than AA too.

Blash took that timeout to ask the team if they remembered what he changed his Netflix password to.

 

[korrowan]

These team is epically bad. I think this is the worst NHL hockey I have ever witnessed.

 

[TheWestWing]

The only friggin 'consistency' on this team is Mrazek giving up 3+ goals a game!

IIRC, there have been two 10 goal games this year. Where's MTL?!?

 

[Heaton]

Blashill's reasoning for putting Sheahan on the top PP was pretty amusing, basically said, I know he doesn't have any goals, but he can stand in front of the goalie. That's A+ coaching right there.

 

[TatarTangle]

It's Always Sunny in the Country Club. Neither Blashill or Holland will be going anywhere, not at least until Holland's contract is up

The only reason I don't get too mad is because its honestly going to be really exciting to have a top 5 pick for the first time in 20+ years.

when you have the chance to play the guy with 0 goals #1 ice time you gotta do it.

 

[aar000n]

Lmao leaky goalies killing us.

 

[korrowan]

Honestly this team is so bad I hope they get shipped to Siberia to work in enslavement camps. That is what they deserve for putting this product on the ice and expecting fans to pay to watch it.

Jesus ****. Being a net front presence doesn't just mean standing in front of the goalie. Does he seriously not understand that?

This guy is a nutjob. I defended him for a while because the roster lacks talent in the most important positions, but ever since he first put Larkin down in the 4C position, its just been a string of terrible decisions.

 

[dragonballgtz]

Wow...that Dekeyser play. Do we not have a rule to either take away the pass or the shot? Cause Dekeyser did neither

Looked like he was looking for his glasses on the ice.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Seriously...fire Blashill.

But he's a good Michigan boy.

 

[Bench]

Getting home late and turning on the game...

 

[obey86]

The Wings are down 0-4 entering the 3rd period and obviously desperately need to score. Who wants to bet that Sheahan gets more shifts in the 3rd period than all of Mantha, Larkin, and AA?

I'll update at the end of the game (if i'm still awake).

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Which team will have more points by the time they play the Centennial Classic? Detroit or Toronto?

No takers.

VAN will have more than us.

 

[Dotter]

This goalie sucks donkey balls

 

[Heaton]

This goalie sucks donkey balls

The future looks extremely dim. No goalie, no defense, no offense, no coach, yikes.

 

[theYman]

Yup. Its the equivalent to two 2-goal leads. Its twice as dangerous!

Except against any other team but the Wings.

 

[Red Stanley]

This isn't even on Mrazek. Our defense constantly fails to block those shots and just screens the goalies. The 2-on-1s are terribly defended, too. Feel bad for Howard getting injured yet again while playing well and feel bad for Mrazek getting thrown to the wolves. Seems they haven't learned their lesson from the past two and a half seasons. Need to play Tampa very physically, not take stupid, selfish penalties, and shoot shoot shoot + swarm the net for rebounds. Don't see any of that really.

 

[TheWestWing]

Intermission....

Reindeer pickup lines:

'Want to go into town and blow a few bucks?'

I gotz nuttin.
