GDT: Game 36: Red Wings at ducks postponed to 1/9/22 8:00 pm et (BSD+)

It's nothing malicious, though. This isn't some plot to screw the Red Wings.

Agreed, they were trying to protect Wings players as much as the Ducks. It's a contact sport.

... though the Ducks are in playoff contention (start the Bettman conspiracies!)

It's a deep state plot by Disney to reboot the Mighty Ducks franchise.

It's true until proven otherwise, yes?

Unknown to me, they actually already rebooted the Mighty Ducks, lol.

Not screw the Red Wings intentionally, I think it’s just a bit preposterous, though, that the schedule makers and league officials are out just free wheeling decisions based on what makes them the most money. Now they get their Calder matchup they were hoping for, coincidentally on a Sunday in prime time when there’s no other games scheduled.

No, I don’t believe this was done to screw the Wings, but they were okay with the Wings being the ones to suffer the consequences of the League watching out for their own best interest. Something that they would never do under normal circumstances because of how the teams would receive it, but they can hide behind Covid reasoning right now, and they’ve taken advantage of it.

I don’t even mind the postponement in theory, but 3 days is comical. And I get they are trying to ensure they don’t have to schedule a random west coast game in the future. But if that’s the motive, then play the game as scheduled. Like the Flyers did.

I already knew, because I heard Emilio quit. If they want to boost ratings, the best thing they could do is to get him back on board, not delay games.

But it was a funny comment nonetheless.

[The Real Pastafarian]

Oh no -- their goalie is making his NHL debut.

We're probably getting shut out.

 

[NervousPerson]

Here we go again.

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

[FabricDetails]

Great start...

 

[Gniwder]

Oh no... NHL debut means shutout....

 

[jaster]

I sit down to watch this game, puck is dropping, my wife, "oh no, Bob Saget died!"

This does not bode well.

 

[NervousPerson]

Starting goalie shutout and first NHL game player goal incoming.

 

[FabricDetails]

They are giving Ray Ray nuthin'...

Great minds think alike, lol.

Mickey is on the road trip eh? Guess his digestive system works fine when we head to California

 

[DatsDeking]

Did you guys see the monkey puck drop!?

 

[NervousPerson]

Smith earning his paycheck. Good bout.

 

[MabusIncarnate]

Hell yeah Smith, love to see it

 

[FabricDetails]

Whoa... Shot to the head, much?

 

[SoupGuru]

That was a cheap hit. Did he even play the puck or just go head hunting?
