GDT: Game 9: Detroit Red Wings @ Sabres | 10/31/2022 | 7 PM ET

[JohanFranzenstein]

Decided to watch the Lost Boys instead of the game. Seems like I'd have been more horrified watching hockey.

Hey, we are in the Bedard race again!

 

[raymond23]

What’s the issue? Why are we still doing this 6+ GA stuff still? Like what needs to change?

Larkin

Gotta go

Sorry not sorry but he ain’t it as a captain

Don’t @ me either, too old for most of you, as most of you have no idea what good hockey is like.

So done w this sh#t

Lions are better

Ned definitely should have had some of those, but its hard to win a game when you allow almost 50 shots : /

It's hard but it has been done hundreds of times before.

 

[saska sault]

3 blow outs in one week New jersey, Boston and now Buffalo. Hey Stevie? Doesn't look like your plan is working.

The plan that he literally told us all to temper expectations for this year and Lalonde told us the same after we were "undefeated in regulation". Long long way to go, but don't think 8 goals against should ever be acceptable. Think the line up movement when it was 4 to 3 was a sign, get going or changes are gonna be made. Hopefully some line up changes coming for a game or 2.

Sure, pick on the only consistent performer on our team. *eyeroll*
Guess what: he is not going ANYWHERE.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

No but hopefully with guys like Bertuzzi, Sundqvist and Rasmussen they're hanging on to the puck more

Only one of those guys is better than league average at holding onto the puck though

 

[SirloinUB]

7 goals against again? It’s Pathetic how often this team of “nhl” players get blown out.

Edit: 8 goals? Jesus f***ing Christ

Averaging 5 goals against the last 4 games. Not going to win many games at this rate.

 

[BIGZ40]

Welp... Can't get much worse. Team will be better with bert/vrana/ras, but their not the miracle cure. It seems we may just be a bad team. The lack of team speed coupled with losing every puck battle is concerning.

lol you blamed tonight on him?

 

[RedHawkDown]

Friendly reminder it’s a great year to be real bad!!

 

[Gniwder]

What's funny is it the Sabres fans didn't start getting loud until what, the 6th goal?

They're accustomed to giving up huge leads as well, lol.

Hey, we are in the Bedard race again!

If we're going to play like garbage, This isn't a bad year to do so.

 

[lhsgolf19]

I still love how when we win it's silent in here when we lose it's suck for Bedard and fire everyone.

Yeah let’s trade away our best player. Good idea

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Only one of those guys is better than league average at holding onto the puck though

yes but even the ones that don't are still better at it than the guys replacing them right now

 

[drw02]

Probably bout time for Yzerman to look for a change of scenery swap for Zadina before it's too late to get even that

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Yup Connor Bedard isn't a bad prize.

 

[SwedeChristoffer]

Good teams can overcome injuries by playing a tighter, more boring defensive game. Plus, getting good goaltending.

This team cannot overcome any adversity because they don't defend and the goaltending is subpar. Plus, they're accustomed to losing all these years.

The sad part is that the Wings have played that boring defensive game, and still been blown out.

I think they'd be better of playing more actively instead, higher forechecking so they can have the puck more. This 1 - 1 - 3 crap ain't working.

 

[NickH8]

I wanted to type a strongly worded post about the team but holy cow the hot takes are wild after every loss. If some of you guys had it your way we'd go through 5 coaches a year and burn down the roster every deadline lol.
Idk why people like to sit in here and dwell on it. It's one thing to lose a close game, but to give up like that is unacceptable. That being said I'm gonna have a good night's sleep go to work tomorrow then have a good evening and not pop a blood vessel over it

 

[RedWingzz]

On the bright side, I think we have a starting goalie!

Time to give Ville 75% of the starts and see what he can do.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

It's interesting how many people weren't posting at all during the game but are now popping up in the thread with their hot takes on how much the Wings suck
