GDT: Penguins @ Red Wings, 7:30 PM ET (preseason Game 1)

[The Zetterberg Era]

I like Ehn still when I watch him and he seems to leave a positive impression in terms of consistent energy and smarts. Depth guy but he intrigues me.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Oooh, turns out ignore blocks entire threads. TIL

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Also for Hicketts fans, it looks like he has picked up a half step in his skating and that is a real positive.

 

[Nut Upstrom]

not particularly impressed with anybody thus far

Yea, no kidding. That period shut us all up and put a lid on our excitement.

 

[Bonnaroo]

That was pretty poor. Disappointing so far, but still on a high that hockey is back.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

I'm not very happy with the top line tonight. My level of confidence in their ability to take tough matchups... not so high.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Rasmussen too cute on that.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

That was really pretty, shame Mantha couldn't bury it.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

These little jingles between the whistles are horrible.

 

[TheMule93]

Bertuzzi is awesome. Super strong on the puck, great vision, great IQ.

Not an amazing skater, nor are his hands anything special. He does have a pretty good shot though. He should be an effective top 6er.

He is just one of those guys, I am a huge fan of Bert.

I feel like the dude would walk over broken glass to win a hockey game.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Come on boys need a goal here.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Let's Go Red Wings.

 

[aar000n]

Goal!!!!

 

[DeYarmond Edison]

The goal horn is f***ing horrendous.

 

[lightthelamp13]

Was really hoping they would do something about the goal horn over the offseason. Oh well. My fav part of the Joe.

 

[The Flying Octopus]

Still cant figure out how to install a new horn into an arena that cost north of $800M, smh, how awful.

Blash is using a motto "give em hell" to get LCA "rowdy." Nothing spells "ROWDY" more than a recording of a horn in a building about to be torn down. I dropped my season tickets bc they werent worth 20k, and the damn horn drives me insane. Junior clubs have better horns than this club.

They said supposedly it wasn't "loud enough" or something silly like that. The Penguins and Islanders had no problems bringing their goal horns over to their new buildings, why the hell couldn't Detroit?

I heard it was fire code or some bs.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Yep that's a pretty lame goal horn there.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Well we tied it up 1-1, Hopefully the 3rd period is ours.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Let's go boys.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

It also must have been against fire code to not make the seat bottoms black and make the lower bowl look as dark as possible.

 

[theYman]

We got our goal on our 31st shot? Who the hell's in net?

He's looking more like a third liner on a decent team to me. He's good to have for depth scoring, but if you don't have 4 wingers better than him you're not a good team.
