GDT: Detroit vs Penguins 3PM

[Pavels Dog]

No.... We were dead long before that

Not really, we're not even dead now.

Manthas hockey IQ and instincts are absolutely elite, a lot of his reads, positioning, and subtle things he does go unnoticed but at the same time lead to a lot of his success. He is just too gifted to fail.

Yep. Lidstrom sang his praises on swedish tv before the game too.

Another short handed chance. Pens strategy is keep taking penalties.

AA fell down then Vanek wen down which resulted on a 4-on-3 the other way. Can the Wings not skate?

 

[SoupGuru]

What's the actual penalty call? Hitting?

 

[SoupGuru]

Good PK

 

[guinness]

So bizarre, can't help themselves, and give up shots while on the PP, and when on the PK, the Pens get nothing.

 

[Mandar]

Lots of rooting in the broadcast booth by Emerick & McGuire....it's a shame that the team in white aren't being given their props

 

[cjm502]

In the next couple years he's going to emerge as our top player, maybe a different draft pick will surpass him but the kid is gonna be a great NHLer

His ceiling is sky high, what makes me hopeful is all of his weaknesses can be taught and worked on. He has all the things you cant teach.

I do wonder what Mantha would be like on the PK, with that reach, ability to win board battles he could be realgud as well as a SHG threat that teams would have to watchbout for.

 

[Wood Stick]

Mantha's reach is incredible. His shot is hard. He has the ability to shoot low with a quick release like guys like Iginla and Kessel. His forecheck is hard, he's strong on the boards, and he is a great passer at times. Tonight for example I noticed he's passing in the skates a tad too much.

Mantha seems to have elite winger ability.

Franzen in 07-10?

Cmon tatar

 

[SoupGuru]

Nice work, Tatar.

 

[wings95]

Please kill this!

 

[guinness]

Surprised not 4 minutes...does it have to a bloody cut, rather than a blood nose?

 

[aar000n]

"we must examine his face in the hopes we can give a 4 min power play "NHL refs

 

[NervousPerson]

Why wasn't that 4 min?

 

[wings95]

Good job. Now keep the lead or add to it this last three minutes

 

[cjm502]

Be thankful Tats, Bonino did you a big favor!

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

That was a brutal embellishment by by namesake.

 

[silkyjohnson50]

I thought blood was automatic 4? I'd be furious if I was Hagelin.

Also LOL at blaming Tatar not being on top line for us missing playoffs.

 

[cjm502]

I have not seen the entire game but is Smith having another strong outing? He looks to lead us in IT for the second game in a row. It makes such a difference when he is playing strong opposed to having constant brainfarts!

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Ugh. I really like Zetterberg, but that was a dive.

I hope it raises his stock

 

[SoupGuru]

Heyo!

When is the last time we scored on an empty net?

He's had a good game. Not as amazing as Edzo and Pierre seem to think...but that's okay. Raises his stock.
