GDT: Game 1: Detroit Red Wings @ Tampa Bay Lightning: Quarter Century Edition

[YostisHome]

Well somehow.... we are only down a goal..... LGRW

 

[obey86]

Does AAs contract only allow him to play in the first two periods?

he drew 2 penalties had a couple good scoring chances and his reward is a benching per usual.

 

[theYman]

Uhh we don't cycle the puck,very well do we?

 

[Cursed Lemon]

God some of you really are oblivious.

Yes, we did.

wtf game are you watching

 

[wings95]

Good PK. Now please use it to get your heads back in the game!!!

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

It was a bad hit by Abby, but at least he's playing with some fire.

 

[chances14]

Where's the slash for knocking the stick out of Abby's hands that we've seen called all game?

 

[Sentinel]

I seriously don't understand what Richards brings to our team.

 

[Reddwit]

Paquette's line always makes its presence felt. Our 4th does that...every once in a while.

 

[Classicnamesup]

It was a bad hit by Abby, but at least he's playing with some fire.

We have 7 years of penalty kills to get toasty in that fire

 

[Red Stanley]

I can't decide what's more annoying, the CBC announcer who can't tell Tatar from Larkin and keeps saying "Abdekader", or all the gleeful Howard hate. Oh whom am I kidding, it's easy to decide. /pounds ignore button furiously

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

we were outplaying and outpossessing them for most of the game. Then we played conservatively, and tampa turned it up and found the momentum.

 

[Shaman464]

It was a bad hit by Abby, but at least he's playing with some fire.

Look back to the early 10s when Abdelkader did this against the Sharks, this 'fire' cost Detroit multiple games.

 

[Heaton]

I seriously don't understand what Richard brings to ice.

According to Blashill since he was a producer 5 years ago, so there's that.

 

[YpsiWings]

I love Abby, showing him laying a hit after a turnover defeats the purpose.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

We have 7 years of penalty kills to get toasty in that fire

Because all Abby's hits end in penalties?

(for the record I don't like his contract length either)

 

[obey86]

Joakim Andersson has more IT than Larkin and AA.

 

[Mijatovic]

God some of you really are oblivious.

Yes, we did.

You are completely and incomprehensibly wrong.

 

[Heaton]

Joakim Andersson has more IT than Larkin and AA.

2% baby.

 

[Reddwit]

This team just seems so poorly coached. Always an uneven game.

 

[KJoe88]

wtf game are you watching

I'm watching a hockey game that was tied and TB is lucky to be in. But of course our guys have no finish.

TB isn't even playing well. We did outplay them up until 5 minutes ago and TB got a good tip off of a defensive breakdown.

These refs are also a joke amd gave TB two goals from offsides.

WTF are YOU watching?

 

[aar000n]

tf? Should be 2-0 if Wings had average goaltending. Howard has maybe made 5 good saves, and that’s being generous

Agree

 

[grewalwings]

If Brendan Smith was playing he would've gotten into at least 1 fight and received a couple penalties

 

[YostisHome]

I seriously don't understand what Richard brings to ice.

Below average speed, below average forechecking, below average scoring ability, every once in a while crafty pass....

 

[golffuul]

Just looked at Abby's hit on Paquette. Could be grounds for review and possible suspension. Shoulder hits Paquette's head.

I groaned when I saw it. Maybe there will be mitigating cirumstances.
