GDT: Game 40: Red Wings at ducks 8:00 pm et 1/7/24 (ESPN+, BSD)

Not sure how to feel.

Yes, glad we won but we barely and I mean BARELY scrapped by two of the worst teams in the league in San Jose and Anaheim. We don’t ever seem to command games or win them handily and these are teams we should be.

First time Detroit has swept their west coast road trip in California since 2008. Feel good.

 

[Henkka]

Man I was happy, after they did spoil this party.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

This wasn't a pretty win but I'm glad the boys were able to pull it off. The rest of the month is going to be a murderer's row and Detroit needs to be at least 0.500 the rest of the way to make it.

This was also another game where it felt like the officials were looking to tilt the scale against the team that scored a goal. It's becoming too big a trend where one team scores and the refs are making calls against them until the other team scores. It feels like manufactured drama.

 

[jkutswings]

After a really bad start for Rasmussen hes quietly on pace for almost 20 goals and 35 points with absolutely no PP time. Thats not too shabby.

I'd be just fine with those stats for Moose if he also brought some intensity. I don't expect every guy over 6'2" to be a wrecking ball, but there's a wide spectrum in between that and not using their size whatsoever.

 

[Sentinel]

Glad Raymond continues to produce.

 

[HoweFan]

I mean, I know he got the game winner and that's great beyond greatness.
But.

Someone, I dk who, next time Larks gets cross-checked in the upper back, needs to do what Gudas did to KK. Straight-up legal and proper destruction.

Hopefully Brady Cleveland develops. That’s why we drafted him

 

[Detroit Knights]

Lyon is looking like our #1, so that's good. Veleno with a goal and +2. Dominated face-offs and speciality teams. The Ducks are terrible, but this is what you are supposed to do when you are a good team. Baby steps.

at this point he has to be the #1 because they've been alternating all season and reimer is still riding that bench.

 

[jkutswings]

We should just start inserting his name into all the old Chuck Norris jokes.

When Brady Cleveland lifts weights, the weights get in shape.

This makes me feel old.

Oh please.... Brady is a healthy scratch. If Chuck played hockey, he'd bench the coach.

 

[jkutswings]

If Chuck played hockey, he'd bench press the arena.

 

[Gniwder]

If Chuck played hockey, he'd bench press the arena.

Yeah, but Chuck could never play hockey because the ice would melt in fear.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Gudas gonna skate away with nothing for the slew foot?

 

[jkutswings]

Yeah, but Chuck could never play hockey because the ice would melt in fear.

Not without his permission.

Our whole team is lame physically. Someone should have put McTavish on his ass for the cross check on Larkin, but nothing.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Gudas gonna skate away with nothing for the slew foot?

Gudas was always and continues to be a POS. I'll be glad when that guy is out of the league.

 

[Gniwder]

Not without his permission.

Even if the ice doesn't melt, it would crack under Chuck's powerful feet as soon as he jumps onto the ice from the bench.

 

[dalem177]

Yeah, but Chuck could never play hockey because the ice would melt in fear.

Or would it freeze even more solidly in hopes it would not be noticed?

 

[Gniwder]

Or would it freeze even more solidly in hopes it would not be noticed?

But Chuck would shatter it into pieces as soon as he takes a slapshot. The league won't allow it because he would send graphite splitters and shards of ice into the stands with his mighty swing.

 

[dalem177]

Yeah., what is that from??? I'm so close and also soooo frustrated???

A movie I've not seen called Tough Guys Don't Dance.

Oh Man! Oh God!
