GDT: Preseason Game #1 | Detroit Red Wings @ Chicago Blackhawks | 8:30 PM EST | WGN

[Classicnamesup]

Thought they were playing the full 5 minutes tonight.... So that was a letdown. Pretty sure they kept playing in the Caps game with the goals not counting last night. So we just got jobbed out of another three minutes of hockey.

Pretty sure they don't, but they go to OT whether it is tied or not.

 

[TheRatPoisoner]

Larkin and Mantha looked good out there though despite that

Can't be mad with this outcome

 

[Tasteslikekevinbacon]

Well, if nothing else, at least we took a majority of the Stanley Cup Winners to over time that we would've gone to anyways with a team of rookies and scraps.

Good times.

 

[NervousPerson]

Nice trip. Kids looked great that shift.

 

[RockemSockemProberts]

<3 Larkin - Mantha - Jensen <3

This. So very much.

For sure. The griffins essentially took the champs to OT. Granted, their top 2 lines didn't get a ton of icetime in the 3rd

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Can Jensen please make the team?

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

What do you expect? What could Sproul possibly do? He takes one pass that means the other two have literally no opposition. Best he can do is try and hope he can use his size and reach to knock down a pass with some anticipation.

Pretty sure that was still Jensen, not that it would matter in that scenario.

League cannot be lax on penalties in the 3 on 3 format, because they end up in the back of the net. It is going to be a problem since they like to swallow the whistle.

 

[tsbilly]

lol trip was jokes

I hope the refs don't swallow their whistle in OT like they do in the playoffs. A trip, pick, etc. is pretty much a guaranteed scoring opportunity for the offending team.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Fun game. Jensen, McCollum, Larkin, Mantha, Miele all had really nice games. Smith too.

 

[tsbilly]

Hockey is back! Yes, yes, yes! I'm drinking to that.

 

[RedHawkDown]

Jensen has got to be on the team. On skating alone he's much more useful than Smith and Kindl.

 

[The Red Line]

Non call on the trip was lame

 

[Classicnamesup]

Ended up being a pretty good game.. Mantha was not noticeable until later in the game and he became the most important guy on the ice. Larkin was invisible for a fair bit but I gotta think that the linemates are also an issue.

The biggest standouts were McCollum and Jensen, the latter of which should be on the team.


I would rather see Ouellet out there than Lashoff. We know what Lashoff is and it isn't pretty, would rather see some other guys. Marchenko was disappointing and Sproul is pretty much what has come to be expected. Unfortunate, I had hopes for him

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Yep. That will be the big problem with 3 on 3. Any missed call will have dire consequences.

If anything they should stop the play at least.

 

[Konnan511]

If Mantha plays in the AHL like he did tonight, he'll be up sooner rather than later.

 

[NervousPerson]

Went back and watched it. Not much Sproul could do there. Kane had all day to decide what to do.

Lidstrom wouldn't make a difference there most the time. You just hope they **** up at that point.

 

[edmundbenz]

Nice game boys... Keep it up.. Larkin, Mantha, Jensen et al needs more seasoning.. and they'll be delicious..

 

[Tatar]

Game was great, wonderful comeback by the kids. Couple of things I noticed:

-Smith had an awful game

- Howard was mediocre at best

-Other then taking a bad penalty, Jensen was great

-Sheahan had a quietly solid game

- McCollum had flashes of brilliance

-Ferraro looked lost

-Schvechnikov, Bertuzzi and Larkin were invisible

-Mantha had an awesome game

-Blashill did a great job rolling the lines and keeping the pressure up to tie the game in the 3rd

-3 on 3 is unbelievably stressful to watch

 

[BeersHockey]

That's how most all OT games are going to end now. Chance at one end, turns right around and goal. I like it. Martha needs to move his feet more early in the game - overall I like him.

Put Larkin out there with Nyquist or Tatar and Datsyuk 3 on 3.

Oh my godddd

It was Sproul, not Jensen

the 3 on 3 was the one thing I wanted to watch. darn it I missed it.

Is there any where to watch highlights or a replay?
