GDT: Game 47: Red Wings vs stars 7:00 pm et 1/23/24 (ESPN+, BSD)

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I'm not totally sure the stats back this up but it seems like Larkin and Compher have been struggling on faceoffs lately. they certainly did tonight

 

[RedWingzz]

the team didnt fold, I loved the effort in the 3rd

just cant collapse like that for 10 minute spans in this league...I don't get why they look braindead for 10 minute sequences like this so often...

But the 3rd was encouraging.

 

[FMichael]

Well the Wings made it interesting

Yeah - other than a crappy 2nd period - the boys played well.

Time to 'Torts' put it behind and 'Torts' you and prepare for the 'Torts' game Thursday 'Torts' night against the 'Torts'...

 

[aar000n]

That second period was awful

Larkin was 4 for 14 or something today, up until late.

Compher was 29%

Would have been nice to get a FO win there at the end. Sure did not help.

I'm blaming Keats for this one. Had to mention the Wings were 10-0 when leading after the first.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Lyon gets pulled after 2 periods and still faced a games worth of shots with 32.

You know how when someone curses you - you could get even with them by making an ugly voodoo doll of that person...Scary thing is that Keating himself is uglier than any voodoo doll.

Switched over to the NYI/Vegas game...Need Vegas to pull it off to keep the savages at bay.

What happened to Seider and Walman?

 

[FMichael]

What happened to Seider and Walman?

Yeah - I don't seem to recall seeing them on the ice those last handful of minutes.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Larkin not doing the post game presser? It seems like he hasn't done one of those in a while. Or have I just missed those?

What happened to Seider and Walman?

Weirdly low minutes for both of them

EDIT: Walman had the least TOI with just under 16 minutes. Hurt? Doghouse?

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

If you think we don't need a goaltender you're Lyon to yourself.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

It took two periods and thats the joke you came up with?!

 

[lilidk]

Kostin is useless, should be sit for Berggren or Kasper

 

[Dotter]

When the team is firing on all cylinders, they look like they can beat anyone. When they go choke mode, they look like they never played hockey before. Very bipolar.

That's what you'd expect from an up and coming team.

We needed Lyon to stand tall and he didn't. So naturally, we lose.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Wonder if Stars fans are complaining about their 3rd period defense?

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

The Wings play like an inexperienced team, and they have a few too many low IQ or cooked players like Holl, Kostin, Petry.

It's encouraging to see them hanging with the best teams in the league and fighting even when getting BTFO. Last year this game would've ended up 7-2.

They are still 2 years out from being really competitive but I see them going from making the playoffs consistently to being a Stanley Cup contender rapidly once they hit that point.

It's encouraging to see them believe they can win. Inches short of a tie in a game we let slip away with a bad 20 mins

 

[SoupGuru]

That was 50 minutes of the weakest sticks I've ever seen. Just got muscled off the puck over and over.

I'm working dude lol

 

[raymond23]

Our schedule is so stupidly difficult

 

[14ari13]

Yeah - I don't seem to recall seeing them on the ice those last handful of minutes.

I think they played much less than usual.

When the team is firing on all cylinders, they look like they can beat anyone. When they go choke mode, they look like they never played hockey before. Very bipolar.

That's what you'd expect from an up and coming team.

We can't count on Lyon every single game.

Larkin turned the puck over again in the neutral zone and it cost us a goal again. This has to be addressed

 

[Oddbob]

Lyon was due for an off night. I don't get Lalonde, to start the 2nd, Walman and Seider didn't play any minutes for the first 5:25 or so, and low and behold Holl and Ghost were -2 in that stretch. Why is a our top pair, not playing 5+ minutes of any section of any game when they are both healthy? That reeks of bad coaching.

 

[Chelis Chili]

What was it in the middle period?! Back to the old habits?! Such a shame!
