GDT: Game #72 - Coyotes at Red Wings - 7:30 PM

That was smart of him. Forwards gotta get in front so the shot is screened.

I think he was in good enough position to beat him without a screen if he lets it go. Could be wrong.

So I guess you can freely punch guys now?

 

[Pavels Dog]

Don't let this go to a shootout...

Actually I thought moving in for a better shot was smart on his part.

If that puck bounces the other way and sends Arizona on an odd man rush would it have been smart of him to wait to shoot it? Keep the shot low, play for the rebound.

refs and icing tonight lol

This game could actually be 8-8 if it weren't for both goaltenders. Howard hasn't played as bad as posters lead you to believe. Still, he's been hot and cold since coming back from the injury. Let's just hope he gets hot at the right time, which I have a feeling he will.

He's been good since I tuned in, but you're not going to get far with your starter stopping under 90% of the shots he's facing.

It seems like Z is losing all faceoffs this game.

Defensemen are taught to shoot in traffic, so there is always that risk.

Fair enough. I'm not mad at it.

 

[Satrebil]

Another Howard special tonight.

 

[last_sd]

So sad that we have to actually go to OT and might only get 1 point against ARI..

 

[TheRatPoisoner]

Don't let this go to a shootout...

Yotes 5-5 in the shootout.

Wings 3-9

Yeah, don't go to a shootout

 

[Winger98]

Missed the lion's share of this game,but it looks like this would have been a nice one to have had someone like Kocur rolling on the fourth line to take Doan off the ice for five minutes at a time.

Fair enough. But if Smith waits to take that shot he would have been massacred on this board...

It's bound to happen every now and then. Shouldn't happen against freakin' Arizona though

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

shoot the puck grumpy cat.

 

[last_sd]

Zid should've shot that

 

[TatarTangle]

I'm convinced that once you become a Red Wing they make you take an oath to not shoot the puck in scoring areas
