GDT: Game 50: Red Wings vs sens 7:00 pm et 1/31/24 (ESPN+, BSD)

f*** that.

Insanely enough i was willing to eat cat food. Record it for the win.

I am sad

But you can still eat the cat food and record it for our pleasure

 

[RRhoads]

Is Ras really that much better than Copp? Especially considering Copp is MUCH better at faceoffs.

I realize I'm asking you to defend this like you're the one who picked Ras in OT. lol

I didn't catch the face off, but I would be surprised if Ras took it over Larkin.

 

[KJoe88]

double down next game?

Oof this was Ottawa lol

 

[dalem177]

I’m honestly very pissed:

Even had a joking matter with the fam. Had it all arranged.

First my ex texts me and now this.

Sorry boys I tried all the reverse psychology possible

Eww, dude. Here's a picture of my current horse as a pup:

And here he is today:

This right here…Right now we’re ticked off considering who the opponent was and it’s the long All Star break…After a few minutes we’ll realize that we had a better than hoped for month of January…Time for the lads to rest up - lots of hockey left to play

I was hoping for 3 points against Vegas and Ottawa, Vegas wins games and Ottawa wins games against us. It was a good night.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I didn't catch the face off, but I would be surprised if Ras took it over Larkin.

He didn't. Larkin took it.

I'm just wondering why Ras is the go to guy as a backup for faceoffs rather than someone like Copp.

 

[KJoe88]

A point is a point .

Ugh

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Thought Perron, and Fabbs were pretty meh, and of course Ghost and Holl was a train wreck.

It sucks giving them free goals tho, that tip was sooo slow on the way to the net and the Mo wipe out.

My sister had the same breed along with an Australian Shepard great doggos

20 out of 26 points in January, but you're talking like this is the start of a bad trend, lol. It's one game.

Murphy's Law says hello. It's not like we haven't seen the wheels fall off this team this year already. Yes, it's just one game, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared for anything.

Seek out some real negativity. I'm merely open to every possibility.

 

[Tatar Shots]

He didn't. Larkin took it.

He’s not. He’s there because he’s got a long wingspan to break up plays if we don’t win possession.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

That makes more sense but I still question if he's the best guy for that role. Yes he's got the wingspan but he's not exactly 3 on 3 fast.

Did you have the same feeling after the Dallas game? Cause that one was really a train wreck, reminding us of the Dark December of Despair. And what came next? Shutout against PHI and a win against the reigning champions.

We are fine, dude.

I don't think back up for face off is the primary concern in OT. Usually guys are thrown out because a teammate is stepping into the circle(that seems to have been the main reason this season at least).

It's not like I think Larks and Ras is the best combination to start, but it is not really the worst either.

Honestly, I can't stand the 3-on-3 anymore. Teams have started to play a lot more keep away lately. Maybe I am just too old

 

[CaptainZetterberg40]

I’m honestly tired of losing to the senators

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Also kept waiting for another PP chance, hard to think the only call we got was on a bad call against Tkachuk.

I'm with you on 3 on 3. It was fun when they first started doing it but then like most everything else they coached the fun out of it

I'm not worried as long as Lyon and Larkin are healthy. Those are your wheels.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Why do we have to get the Lindholm canucks now? Really bad luck to come outta break against nucks x2 and oilers.

 

[saska sault]

NHL refs make zero sense. Call some soft penalties, then put the whistles away altogether.

Put a shot clock in or make the team forfeit the puck if they back track. It's a bit of a farce for a pro sports league to have such gimmicky ways to decide games between that and the shootout.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

People complaining about something that's happened every OT all season.

Took you 50 games to notice something. You are a very observant hockey watcher.

Ezekial is on point with this one, those two Larkin and Moose come out to start every OT. Moose can win a draw if Larks get chased.

And to add to it, you all do realize those two are a PK pair? Larks win the draw, Moose goes off, if they lose the draw, we have a PK pair out there defending. Actually pretty good coaching if you ask me.

Now putting D Cat out there when we never had possession, that is a bad coaching head scratcher.

Looking forward to seeing Fabs back on the fourth line with Veleno and Sprong. We need Kane on the second for that line to score at all

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Hopefully the Lindholm addition will put them in a Kane-like tailspin at first and the Wings will catch them then.

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

On the plus side, the only team we consistently lose to are Montreal and Ottawa, and we won't be seeing them come April.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

I am kinda glad we are pretty much done with the real dirt bag teams in the east. No more Boston, Philly or Ottawa left on the schedule. Just 2 left with Florida.
