GDT: Game 64: Red Wings at sabres 7:00 pm et 3/12/24 (ESPN+, BSD)

Seider is leader , but he's too Young, Perron is a good leader, but he's too old, if they bring him back just for around 2 mil. Cat should be traded, small and slow. Kane , does he wants to stay?. Fabbri should replace by younger and bigger player. Chiarot is a leader, but don't know what to expect from him.

Age doesn't make someone a leader or not a leader, many players are leaders at 20 and stay leader to their last games. Cat and Kane are part of the reason this team is even sniffing the playoffs. Chiarot isn't a leader. He is trainwreck on ice.

 

[KJoe88]

Oof. wtf has happened

Dvorsky literally couldn’t hack it in the SHL. It’s cool he’s scoring a lot on a completely stacked line, but if you’re doing a 1 to 1, Kasper’s a better prospect since he actually you know … stuck in the SHL

Use Benson then if you don’t like that for some reason. He’s out scores what Danielson is doing at 19.

All I’m saying is it’s ridiculous to say Danielson would have a “lot more” points than Benson when he can’t even do what Benson was doing in junior even being a year older

 

[WFIAA]

I don’t think anyone can argue that he flat out got the defense wrong. It’s a double whammy on not only the veterans being bad, but they’re also blocking young D that should be getting NHL experience.

Oh people will argue that, many still defend the Holl signing as a good move.

I really don't know what you do at this point, I'd like to see AJ or Ed up, but Yzerman seems dead set against it. Hell, I'd cut Petry just for a pound of flesh and to wake players up.

 

[Bench]

Well, this is getting awkward isn't it?

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

At this point, why not just dress Larkin and really only play 11F and 6D. Just staple him to the bench. It's clear the team needs him there.

 

[The Zermanator]

Well Yzerman's role is limited at this point, it's up to the players and coach to limp into the postseason now. But I sure hope he's putting together a list of meaningful changes he's going to pursue this coming offseason.

 

[Ulysses31]

I say give cossa a game, maybe team would rally behind him

 

[Nut Upstrom]

It's the March curse same with December. Something about these months the last number of years. It's like the team knows they must suck.

Beware the Ides of March

I got sh*t on for recommending that last week. Wasted opportunity.

Been saying it since we signed him.

 

[theYman]

Remember two years ago a bad Arizona team came into LCA and hung 9 on the board, I think it was a March game?

Be prepared Red Wings' players, the boos are coming for you hard Thursday and Saturday if these efforts continue.

Hopefully some priority jersey patch chants do too!!

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

 

[RRhoads]

Wings' defensive coverage is not that bad if you pair it with the Benny Hill theme.

 

[Henkka]

Oof. wtf has happened

Was wondering the same.

 

[WF19]

Damn did the wheels fall off. I wonder if Kane even thinks about signing with them again if they don't make it.. call me crazy but I'd be bringing up Ed, Aljo, Kasper and Cossa if it was aloud.

Berggren too. This is actually what we needed to do in he beginning of the season.

Berggren doesn't do anything for me, not one of those hard to play against guys. He manages to get points somehow but I've yet to see him be as much of a force since day one

 

[brett89]

i didnt know larkin was so important to the team, that they cant get a win to save their life

 

[Indrid Cold]

Would it work out by putting him on a line with 2 other forwards who are 'hard to play against'? We all want players who are, and who can score, but that is harder to find.

Putting Cossa in the NHL to be shelled behind that dumpster fire defense is a good way to destroy the confidence he's built up.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

One of those changes being walking into Chris Ilitch’s office and strangling him until he takes that grotesque f***ing patch off.

I dont he would get shelled at all

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

I think you think too highly of a 21 year old goalie playing behind an absolute disaster of a defense lol.

Zero need to put his confidence and development at risk for Chiarot and Petry to leave him out to dry time after time after time after time.

will admit there have been some rough games defensively lately but that has been the exception more than the norm IMO, IMO the team's defense is about league average or slightly below.

 

[GMR]

You can't deny they're making progress.

Last year, they fell apart in February. This year, it's March. Next year, they'll wait until April to crumble.

April would be already at the playoffs.

So the plan is:

Season 2024-25, April = 1st round exit
Season 2025-26, May = 2nd/3rd round exit
Season 2026-27, June = Losing SC final
Season 2027-28, July = It's party, after a Cup win.
