GDT: Game 18 | Nashville Predators @ Detroit Red Wings | 7:00 PM EST | FS-D+

Are we now the team that sucks and other teams underestimate and then drop a game to us then their fanbase gets all pissed "You dropped a game to the RED WINGS?!? That should have been an easy 2 points!"

 

[Vladdy84]

Great game so far by Jimmy. Would love to see Cleary demoted then Tats and Toots rotate with Dats and Gator on the 2nd line in the 3rd.

 

[ProPAIN]

Scary end there. Have to keep going in the third. Roll 4 lines (maybe even the bottom 6 a bit more) so they rest the top 2 lines for tomorrow.

Dats made three great passes on that shift, amazing how he controls the play every shift. He's on his way to another selke.

Because the Selke is all about making passes in the offensive zone.

 

[Flowah]

The evidence is conclusive: Kyle Quicney is the source of all our misfortune. Ken Holland needs to waive him as soon as he returns from injury. This MUST happen people. Serioiusly, just look at our record since Quincey was acquired. The playoff streak is at risk here.

Do you know when the Red Wings record breaking home game win streak ended last year?

First game Quincey played for us.

*drops mic*

Datsyuk being a boss on that shift for Kronwall. Got to every loose puck, set up all the plays. Being a real man.

 

[redwings85]

Ha... NHL Network called Kronwalls goal... Lidstrom-esque...

 

[FlashyG]

Scott Hannan >> Kent Huskins

If we're just going to list all the NHL defenceman better than the guy we signed to fill in for our injury depleted defence we're going to be here for a while.

Not sure what your point is, we couldn't have signed Hannan when we needed a fill in. If we're going to compare Huskins to someone compare him to someone available at the time.

 

[Laser Rayzor]

If they wave Kindl... he's an NHL defenseman and hes proving it.

We have 9 D, and Bab's has a man crush on Lashoff. Huskins and/or Kindl will be out one way or the other.

 

[JPE123]

Ill take him over quincey, lashoff or huskins any day

Nope

 

[Flowah]

Because the Selke is all about making passes in the offensive zone.

The zone the play is taking place in hardly matters. It is not impossible to play defense in the offensive zone. Datsyuk was retrieving all the loose pucks and maintaining puck control.

Is there a better way to play defense than to deny the other team access to the puck?

 

[ProPAIN]

Wings giving up WAY too much to feel good about this.
We should win, but our defense is very suspect

They are definitely taking it too easy.

I noted Nashville trying the cross-ice pass a lot. They're probably trying to counter Jimmy staying way out of the paint.

There have been some more bons mots there tonight some of which were praysing Cleary for his speed....so you can make a picture

It's amazing the amount of perfection this board expects. Have you guys been spoiled or what the last 20 yrs. it's seems EVERYTIME someone makes a mistake they are brutal and next to hit the waiver wire. Chill the **** out. We're up 3-0. Playing well. Howard's having a nice game. ChiLl... Besides. What did you ppl expect. We got bounced first round last year. And THEN lost lidstrom, Stuart and Hudler. And basically didn't replace any of them. So I ask. What.... Did u expect this year???

 

[Vladdy84]

Ha... NHL Network called Kronwalls goal... Lidstrom-esque...

He biffed it and caught a break.

Loved late in the 2nd when Gator made a good defensive play coming back and Mickey gave credit to Cleary.

Quit with the Quincey stuff though. This is Jimmy's best game of the season not counting the LA game. Could easily be 3-3 without Jimmy being lights out.

 

[ProPAIN]

If only his defense was Lidstrom-esque. Nick never screened his own freaking goalie.

I hope Lidstrom coaches during the prospects and regular training camp next season. He has a lot to teach.

 

[JPE123]

And murph says babs is lovin abby and cleary with dats. I will say cleary is less bad tonite

Welcome to the Bipolar Boards.

We have 9 D, and Bab's has a man crush on Lashoff. Huskins and/or Kindl will be out one way or the other.

Let's hope that Kenny knows to waive a perennial waiver guy as opposed to a skilled puck-mover that has shown more and more potential defensively.

More Tatar please!

We expect competence from our GM and Coach. And well executed play and effort from our team.

Same as any other fan base.

The **** is wrong with you people?

 

[redwings85]

Abdelkader - Datsyuk - Cleary

OMG what a waste. Datsuyk's talent is being wasted on two average 4th liners.

Babcock says otherwise

He loves the line, and the way it's going!
