GDT: Game 51: Detroit Red Wings @ Minnesota Wild - 1/22/2020 - 8 PM EST NBCSN

[RedMenace]

Howard had that and Glendening fished it out from between his pads. Then nobody picked up Staal. But hey our goalie sucks, right? I'm out.

That one wasn't really on him... there are two that were suspect, however.

 

[Fil Larkmanthanasiou]

Honestly can’t watch Howard play goalie anymore. He makes me hate hockey

He's a perfect goalie for us 18.5%ers.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

His numbers were quite impressive for a kid his age. Most players coming out of the CHL would have had to play another year or 2 in juniors after being drafted before being eligible to play in the A.

I agree with you, but you have to think about it from the perspective of fans (or pundits) who only follow other teams a little, and only focus on exceptional performances. Usually by Canadian players... at the WJC. So Zadina isn't quite on their radar anymore.

 

[GreatGordie9]

Zadina has been the best Wing tonight. The kid scored twice, played almost 21 minutes and had 7 shots. They gave all stars in the game to the Wild.

 

[RedHawkDown]

He's a perfect goalie for us 18.5%ers.

Prime Hasek would also be a perfect goalie for the 18.5%ers, because this team is significantly worse than the 2nd worst team.

I'm not sure that's much of a compliment

Im all for the tank, just can’t stand watching howard in net anymore. For the record Ive always hated Howard and I wanted him gone a long time ago

 

[DetroitRed]

Just looked it up: The last time an NHL team had a differential this bad (-90 if this score holds) was the 2016-'17 Avalanche. But there's hope: The following season (2017-'18), Colorado was a wild card team.

The 16-17 Avalanche already had MacKinnon, Rantanen, and Landeskog, and had Duchene who they traded for the pick that became Makar. We're a long ways off from having that kind of talent.

Gonna be a tough few years.

Yeah. Am I right in thinking that some of those guys they drafted before the lottery rules changed?

 

[DetroitRed]

Answering my own question. The lottery odds changed in both 2015 and in 2017. So the answer is yes.

 

[newfy]

Smith with the no-stick diving hand pass to Biega. He's growing on me.

Yep every game he looks a bit better and hes a junk yard dog out front of the net. Havent seen someone on Detroit dig at a goalie like he was on Zadinas second goal in a long time. I wouldnt mind seeing him play with Helm and Glendening and bump Erne down to see if that line could get something going.

On another note... Could this be the record for most black players in a single NHL game? I think theres 5 in the game right now with Smith, Daley, Bowey, Greenway and Dumba. If that isnt the record it has to be close

 

[Ezekial]

Both lucky goals.

It was obvious sarcasm....

 

[datsyukfan]

Abdelkader can’t even dump a puck my god

 

[SoupGuru]

Is Larkin actually playing?

 

[bedtime20]

Filppula always looks like he saw boobs for the first time

 

[datsyukfan]

Biega move the puck, had a wide open bert, looks him off and makes everyone stop at the blueline like wake up and head man the puck

 

[Fil Larkmanthanasiou]

Prime Hasek would also be a perfect goalie for the 18.5%ers, because this team is significantly worse than the 2nd worst team.

Howard is only 2nd to Blashill in ensuring the 18.5% chance

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

Is AA hurt or are we finally trading him?

 

[Henkka]

Is AA hurt or are we finally trading him?

Hurt.

 

[Bondurant]

Is AA hurt or are we finally trading him?

According to CBS he won't be returning until 1/31. Article from 1/19. Can't find much.

And what was his injury again?

 

[TheMule93]

Larkin continues to force horrible passes. He's done it all season.

 

[DetroitRed]

And what was his injury again?

I believe it involved his ribs.

I think if he bounces back right away, he'll get a first. If they even try to trade him.

 

[RedHawkDown]

And what was his injury again?

Broken spirit.
