GDT: Game 1: Wings @ preds 8:00 pm et (FSD)

[Hen Kolland]

Honestly I didn’t anticipate how bad the defense would look without the escapability that Seider has on the puck. It’s definitely awkward to have an 18 year show more poise than any defenseman in the organization.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Hirose and Abdelkader are playing like they know the Spartan score...

 

[Tasteslikekevinbacon]

My goodness they’re going to give Howard liver failure with all the beers they Owe him rn

He cannot play on his backhand yet, people should calm down. I have watched him get skinned a couple times in the other stream.

I think Hronek and DeKeyser have played pretty well actually.

Based on his offseason fitness, I'm pretty sure he can handle it.

 

[Tasteslikekevinbacon]

Think of how much he could cut into Matthews ice time in important games with a Glendening on his roster...

I imagine they’re wondering how to de-give a captaincy as we speak

 

[RedMenace]

Short and stout?

Someone else will have to verify that.

OT: I just watched the South Park episodes with Mysterion, MBC, and Cthulhu. Good shit.

I’m just speaking on how poor the outlet passes have looked. Green, Daley, Nemeth, Hronek have all made passes like they are playing hot potato. Just throwing it in the direction of someone, but it’s not really a receivable pass or puts the forward in an awkward position.

Honestly, if DK and Roni are the best pair, we are in BIG trouble.

Agreed but the forward group doesn't really help that either.

We no longer have guys like Zetterberg and Datsyuk who could catch anything as they broke out of the zone.

(Basically, we're just not a very good team)

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

We are getting in a shell too early.

Sure and there is a reason we expect a bottom five finish. I just don't think they have played poorly tonight.

 

[ColdToiletSeats]

We're winning and everyone is still posting negative stuff.....

 

[RedMenace]

I know I’m the minority here, but I never expect anything.

Nobody’s played especially poorly tonight, which, if that’s the best we can hope for, well make for another long season.

Me, I hope that everyone reverts back to their mid-20s selves and the Wings win the Cup.

But I certainly don’t expect that.

Givani with the Gordie Howe hat trick

 

[ArGarBarGar]

We are getting in a shell too early.

I mean, I won't be surprised to see that shell whenever the Wings have a lead during a game this season.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Oof. Was that Hronek's man all alone for the point blank chance?

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

That was a pretty big mistake by Hronek and DK... predictable after I go to bat.

 

[Realgud]

Givani with the Gordie Howe hat trick

I want to see Givani and Svech in Detroit sooner rather than later. Love their game.

 

[guinness]

Losing faceoffs are going to burn the Wings

 

[RedMenace]

You know, Mantha should take 93 and do it justice.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Man Jimmy has bailed them out a lot tonight.

 

[Tasteslikekevinbacon]

Nemeth saves one

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Nemeth saved a goal on Granlund there I think

 

[Gniwder]

Howard is slow side to side...
