GDT: Detroit Red Wings at Tampa Bay Lightning

[Frk It]

Down 4 in the 3rd and Glendening is on the top line with Zetterberg and Mantha, replacing Tomas Tatar who had a hat trick last game

Hey we didn't get shutout. Mantha gets 1

 

[golffuul]

Jensen...first Nhl point. Sounds right

 

[Bench]

Glendening is Blashs golden boy, he can do no wrong. Trouble scoring? No problem move Glen up a line!

Well, when your former mentor and legendary NHL coach, plus the Hall of Fame GM, endorse this plan...

Sometimes these great hockey minds try to get too cute.

 

[avssuc]

Wings get the victory...of not being shutout. Gotta start somewhere.

 

[Frk It]

Positive note: Mantha scores

Wooooo

 

[TheMule93]

lol

at least jenson got an nhl point I guess

 

[Bench]

I wonder if anyone has told him it's not sticking?

Add more spicy Glendening sauce!

 

[Reddwit]

Oh my god, Jensen.

Kills Bishop, kills Howard, wrecks Vasilevsky's shut out.

 

[aar000n]

Yay not getting shut out

 

[Claypool]

Hope someone get Jensen the puck for his assist.

It's a bold strategy.

Playing Glendening in the top 6 is about as annoying as people who put ketchup on steak.

Sheahan played 18.5 minutes tonight. In a game where we were playing from behind for 50+ minutes.

If our lines were a food order.

 

[Leronziia]

Yeah but he doesn't have a goal. The only way to get him a goal is to play him massive minutes.

It just means hes due!!!

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Hehehe

Dreadful effort

We're clearly just throwing everything at the wall hoping something sticks

No vision
No plan
No identity

This is 110% Ken Holland's fault

 

[TheOtherOne]

The Jensen hat trick- two injured goalies and an assist!

He is the one who has assembled a mediocre roster thats against the cap, and hired our coach. Something has got to give, and Kenny is the one who has put all the pieces we have in to play. I wonder if he still likes our team?

Not to defend Holland, but this roster isn't playing anywhere close to its capability. This isn't a great team, but they should be playing better than they have.

3rd period shifts, down 4 the entire period:

Glendening 8 shifts
Ott 7 shifts
Tatar 5 shifts
Larkin 5 shifts

 

[Martinez]

Missed the game, how did we look?

 

[Z40]

In the post-game interview, Jensen said he apologized to Howard. Feels really bad about it.

 

[Red Stanley]

I can live with being outplayed and outclassed. Being outplayed, outclassed AND outworked, though, is not acceptable. Maybe they want to work hard, but half the time look clueless as to what their assignments are. Simplify the system to match the talent level. I'm OK with watching a hard-nosed grinding style that makes other teams work for their points. Right now we're not hard to play against most nights.
