GDT: Game 7: Carolina Hurricanes @ Detroit Red Wings - 10/25/2016 | 7:00 PM ET | FSD

I don't like a tatar because he's basically a gimped nyquist. Equal shot, worse hands, inability to slow the game down, cant win ANY board battles (nyquist actually can win like 5-10% of his), worse defensively, skating abt equal

now that isn't bad in itself, but the fact that he tries to play like he is much better than he is leads to a lot of mistakes which is what I dislike about him

Sheahan has been really REALLY disappointing. I had him pegged for like 35P maybe 40P. At this point he'll be lucky to hit 20P

I agree. He shows flashes of skill but it just isnt there on a consistent basis. I think its a confidence issue, idk if he will ever overcome it

He has all of the tools and size to be a legit 2C.

Guy still drives possession tremendously, and is great at zone entries.

Also is the best shot generator on the team.

I think they are good for different reasons.

 

[Frk It]

Sometimes you make me bust out the Tito's Brendan Smith, come on bud.

 

[theYman]

I'm still cautiously optimistic going into the 3rd with leads.

 

[SoupGuru]

Smith is just not a good player of hockey

 

[Henkovic]

After watching this game we should be glad trading Tatar and Smith for a couple of water bottles and a pack of gum...

 

[Pavels Dog]

Tatar has some bad habits but gets too much hate. The puck follows him around and it's rare to see him not have a couple of great scoring chances in a game. Frustrating when he's not scoring, but there aren't many players on this team I'd rather have on the ice when we need a goal.

 

[Frk It]

Nyquist is still really fast, FYI

 

[Ezekial]

Who's the new guy that wears 52?

Absolutely, Tatar is dynamic as hell.

Absolutely right. I'd trade him, but it'd have to be for a good defenseman, and I'd be sad to see him go.

He is a good player.

he can certainly be frustrating, I still have faith Tats will turn it up.

 

[SoupGuru]

Smith should have been called twice on that last shift

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Absolutely right. I'd trade him, but it'd have to be for a good defenseman, and I'd be sad to see him go.

He is a good player.

Yeah he has moments where he is unstoppable. He really does. But he probably could help us get something we really need in my opinion.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Wow was that a lazy turnover out of Larkin.

 

[Frk It]

Who's the new guy that wears 52?

Not sure who's wearing his number this year, but he can keep playing how he has been and I'm good.

 

[TheMule93]

Wow was that a lazy turnover out of Larkin.

yeah after the first period I thought he'd follow it up with two more great ones, but its been the opposite

 

[Ezekial]

I'd trade him in a second if it meant we got a legitimate defender.

 

[hot dog]

Mick brings up a good point about Ericsson playing on the left now. Hope we don't force him back to the right if he keeps looking solid when Kronwall is back. Seems unlikely, though.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

That was dirty as ****

 

[KJoe88]

Green is lucky. Hope is shoulder is good.

 

[Frk It]

We are straight goons now, lol

 

[SoupGuru]

I was going to say, we haven't had a fight yet. Maybe that will stir things up

 

[Ezekial]

**** you Stalberg
