GDT: Game #38 | Wings vs Penguins | 6 PM EST | FS-D

That caught me off guard

 

[Actual Thought*]

Now 4 goals. Didn't even get done typing my post.. Team is just trash. What's Trashill doing with this team?

He is doing his very best which is not very good. Just as should be expected.

 

[Z40]

These damn losers should tank the rest of the season. They all suck. Trade all the old guys doing nothing. Z has been a scrub for a month. Dats just sucks now. The entire team is just meh. Blow it up. Trade all the bottom feeders and field a real team in a couple years. This is almost as bad as watching the Lions. Honestly I hope they go on a 10 game losing streak so I don't feel compelled to waste 3 hours watching them play like they don't care. At least end crosbys career or something if you are going suck.

This isn't remotely a gross overreaction. Nope, not at all.

Blashill ****ing sucks..

Blashill didn't assemble a roster whose top line and top D pairing are no longer among the top dozen teams in the league.

It's been a while since I've seen the Wings play a game where I felt we noticeably had the better talent on ice. Hell, the Wings used to dominate like 90% of regular season games even if they lost in the end.

That's not been the case since what 2010 ish and it's gotten worse every year since. That's what happens when your HOF players get old and eventually retire and you think you've got a superstar in every half-decent 2nd liner who you bring to the league as a 25 year old rookie.

 

[Chance on Chance]

I mean you can't win cups and make the playoffs over and over with just 2 players

you generally need a big 3 to win a cup and they were 2/3rds of it

 

[Claypool]

A wild card team that last two years looks like it'll be another wild card team again this season. Shouldn't come as a surprise. Datsyuk, Zetterberg, and Kronwall look extremely old, and Nyquist, Tatar, and Sheahan have all taken steps backward.

It really isn't.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Lol parity

And then you have the lidstrom that holland got

Wait no he lucked out

any pick after the 4th is generally luck since 95. lidstrom was before that

Just saw the Danny d miss the wide open net lol

No comeback for us don't even pull the goalie

 

[theYman]

They better boo them off the ice when this is over.

About to lose their grip on the WC spot

"Miss"? I guess you didn't really see it then.

It was the guts and glory play on the wings channel. Looked like a clear miss to me. But I have it muted and it was slowmo

He put it on net and the goalie stopped it with the wrong end of his stick.

I haven't looked at the schedule so I hope the wings don't play on New Years or the day after

We will get no feel good wins this year (holiday games or around it by a day or so)

 

[Classicnamesup]

It hit the goalies stick but I think it might have been going wide anyway. Or post

 

[theYman]

might as well lose 5-2 give them an EN guys. The one other thing we seem to struggle at too getting ENs.

 

[Claypool]

Kronwall loves shooting into the players' legs.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Why pull the goalie on a 4 on 4 it's like a powerplay

And we know how those go

They have to pretend to care if they want to sell jerseys.

Just not pretend very well.

You have to be in the lead at the end for chances at an EN. This team generally gives away the lead before that.
